  • One to watch: It’s a relatively quiet weekend with no 6 Nations and no Premier League action but Leeds and Man City has something of the 70s about it, right?
  • One to Sky+: League Sunday – get it done.
  • One to skip: NBA All-Star game, if Bieber’s cameo last year is anything to go by. Vom.

  • There should really be a distinction made between the NBA Celebrity All Star Game (in which Bieber played) and the other games on over the NBA All Star Weekend. Jus’ sayin’ ….

  • In comparison with the last few weeks its a quite weekend, Bundesliga on ESPN is where its at, both Dortmund and Bayern on our telly’s in the same weekend, a rarity this season for whatever reason. Honorable mentions, to Roma v Juve (possible bloodbath or Lazarus like revival ) and Crokes v Kickhams (Kerry v Dublin)

    On Sunday Fiorentina v Inter on ESPN at 19:45 is the pick of the bunch, both sides trying to keep in touch of that third spot and some considerable talent on show.
