ATP tennis is on the tennis channel and it is a crucial weekend, the closing stages of the Paris Masters which will decide who reaches the end of season finale in Shanghai, Murray in with a good shout if he can beat Gasquet.

The New Boys
Setanta continue to build their way in the sports market with some tasty treats this weekend.
From the SPL they have Celtic vs Kilmarnock at midday on Saturday and the Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibs on Sunday at one.
Premiership wise they are showing Blackburn vs Liverpool on Saturday evening.
They also have some Magners league action Saturday evening and a variety of European football over the weekend if that is your thing.
The big event for Setanta this week however is the Joe Calzaghe fight which should start about half one Sunday morning, either set your alarm, or leave the club early!
The Big Game
The second rugby league test between Great Britain and New Zealand is again on Sky, Saturday evening with Sunday Highlights on the Beeb 1130-1230.
SkySports also have full coverage of the Volvo Masters from Valderrama where Justin Rose, currently 4 shots ahead, is battling it out with Padraig Harrington to win the European Order of Merit aka the 'richest guy on tour'.
Sky's coup de grace however is 'the big game', Arsenal vs Man United, Saturday lunchtime.
Personally I will be getting geared up for my big game, St Lawrence Reserves vs Chipstead 3rds, come on the Saints!
Oh just incase you were wondering what ITV are up to this weekend... bugger all... they seemed to peak a couple of weeks ago and are still recovering.

Rugby League or Rugby Union? Which is better?
Personally i think Rugby League out classes union by far, though being a Wakefield Wildcats fan makes me a little biased! However i do admit that internationally Rugby League needs some work so Rugby Union has that on its side but what about the game itself?
It seems that Rugby Union is just a collection of dog piles most of the time followed by short lived runs which either involve running straight into the other teams players or scoring the odd try, WHY!? In Rugby League I can see the point in running straight into your opponent as you have to make some ground only having six tackles to do it but in Union, its just a way off losing the ball! Fools!
I mean I like doing a little Rugby League Betting every other week but When it comes to Rugby Union, its just boring! KICK! THERE INFRONT! KICK! THERE BEHIND!! KICK THERE INFRONT AGAIN!!! OH NO WAIT!! THERE BEHIND AGAIN! RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!!
Anyway I’ll stop my rant here and give someone else say what they think!
Well for me it's rugby union, but that is where my heart is, having played it since i was 7.
I have just come back down south after spending 4 years in leeds however and i have to admit i did really get into the super league.
I saw a couple of games, a rhinos one and a Giants game, and they were good fun. the intensity is impressive as is the athleticism.
It's hard to compare the two in some ways, although i do think it is important they keep their individual identity. if they merged as it looks like it is slowly happening, it would be a tradegy.
anyway union just pips it for me!!
