The UEFA Cup group stage is coming to a finish.
We had yesterday the first series of the last matches. Tonight we have another 8 matches.
There are some interesting matches, but nothing interesting for me to bet on. But as the matches begin, who knows.
We’ll just have to wait and see.

Anyone fancy a bet? 
As some of you might know, Google is celebrating their 10 years of existence.
And In honor of this, they have brought back the oldest available index.In honor of our 10th birthday, we’ve brought back our oldest available index. Take a look back at Google in January 2001.You can access it by going to
http://www.google.com/search2001.html
What i found funny, is the results that came up and what where the news back in 2001.For example:
A search for rafa nadal, brought up no results on the tennis player
http://www.google.com/search2001/search … gle+Search
or
a search on ronaldinho
http://www.google.com/search2001/search … tnG=Search
which brings up a result on how PSG plan a record bid
or
a search on betfair
http://www.google.com/search2001/search … tnG=Search
which back then was just a little company

Believe it or not, in Italy , Serie A, we have another derby, Inter vs Milan.Interesting to see if Milan will be able to extend their winning series to 3 matches, or will it be Inter who will manage to make 4 wins in a row.
Tennis
Some nice tennis matches are available this weekend.The China Open finals, for both men and women whould be interesting, while the Thailand Open and the Korean Open bring us another two finals to bet on.
