Too busy too read the papers? Don't worry The Editor brings you the best of what the papers have to offer each day. The Express is obviously fed up with ranting about immigrants - so today it turns its attention to Muslims. It is rumoured that they are giving away free copies of Mein Kampf with tomorrow's paper.
Anyway, here's what making the news today ...

Cole-gate: Day 5
Yet more Rat King Cole in today's Sun. They report that Cheryl is on the verge of a nervous breakdown following newspaper reports that he bedded a couple of slappers.
Dubbing it The Cole War, they reveal that Cheryl had hoped they could "work on" having a baby after her busy summer schedule with Girls Aloud. Turns out only one of them was "working on" it.
It is also reported that Cheryl knew nothing about Ashley's affair with hairdresser Aimee Walton. A source said: "Everything she has claimed about him confiding in her was just to save face. She's completely devastated."
Oh, and Britney is not in the best of shape either ...
Funny newspaper front pages
Journalists love nothing more than a good "knobbly monster" - a desperate attempt not to use the same word again . . . when there is only one. Named after Paul Hudson, who was writing about alligators when, having used up "reptiles", he resorted to "the knobbly monsters".
Here are some classic funny newspaper knobbly monsters (compiled by Tom Churchill of The Scottish Sun) ..

Scoop of the day
Scoop of the day goes to The Mirror who tracked down the bloke who won £19m on the Lottery - it turns out he has a heart defect that could kill him at any moment.
Classic front pages ...
Here's the Daily Mail's front page in the aftermath of the tsunami that swept through Asia in December 2004. I'm not sure it was the best day to run a SAIL to France from just £9.99 promo ...
Scoop6 and other dodgy bets
The same Walsall that cost me dear last week cost the Editor's father-in-law a 100-1 accy last night. Ouch! There's always someone worse off than yourself as they say ...
Anyway it's another big night in the SPL, Premier League and CIS Cup.
Man U and Chelsea at home are certainties. Everton at home to Spurs has draw written all over it, Celtic can't afford to slip up at Fir Park (if the game goes ahead) and Rangers could struggle against Hearts before going through in extra time.
So Rangers and Everton draws and wins for Celtic, Man U and Chelsea.
Five four-folds and one five-fold should do the trick.
Did I mention I'm due a wee win????

Scoop of the day
Cole-gate (geddit?) Day Four:
The Sun has yet more shocking revelations that will add another million to Cheryl's divorce settlement ..
Arrogant love-rat Ashley Cole allegedly told one of his conquests: "I don't need to wear a condom because Chelsea give us check-ups."
Glamour model Brooke Healey, 23, said: "I'd had quite a lot to drink so I took a gamble. Luckily I didn't get pregnant but for weeks I was worried I might be."
Here is fag Ash pictured in happier times with Cheryl, matching white suits and all.

Scoop6 and other dodgy bets
I hope you all ignored my tips from last night - rotten as usual - and thankfully I didn't part with a single penny.
I'm more optimistic about tonight though and there is a full English card to choose from as well as CIS cup semi in Scotland.
Assuming Barry Robson is playing I expect Dundee United to beat Aberdeen at 6/4. Bolton are poor but Wigan are worse so home win at 5/6. Tranmere should be too strong for Gillingham - a home banker at 5/6. Ipswich have a great home record but can't buy a win away from home and I expect that to continue tonight with a home win over Plymouth at 7/10 while Wolves should be in confident mood and should see of Sheffield Wednesday at 4/5.
Fiver 5-fold pays £130 but I'm going to try different tactics tonight and perm 4 from 5.
Good luck!

Scoop of the day
Scoop of the day goes to The Sun as the Ashley Cole saga rumbles on. For those of you have missed it or couldn't care less the Chelsea and England defender is married to Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Tweedy but he is a love rat.
He beds a besotted blonde groupie (after twice being sick - yip, she is that classy) and she is so outraged that he could cheat on his missus she runs to the newspapers and gets paid tens of thousands of pounds to tell her story.
Cole breaks down and admits he is a bad boy but Cheryl doesn't believe he did it. Eh?
Anyway, The Sun exclusively reveals today that he offered her cash to have an abortion after she told him she might be pregnant.
Oh, and and another girl has come out to say that she was also bedded by Cole five months after he married Cheryl.
More sleazy revelations tomorrow ...

Still reeling from the weekend ... Leeds cost me a double on Saturday, Darlington cost me a five-fold and yesterday just to rub it in Man City cost me a four-fold after Man U, Cardiff and Celtic all won.
Just my luck!
It's a busy week for the football - plenty on Tuesday so I'll be giving tonight's games a miss.
For anyone silly enough to go with my tips I'd probably back Palace, Killie, Hamilton and Gretna at 8/1.

Three lines on today ...
Coventry, Southampton, Portsmouth, Darlington and East Fife an 8/1 accy
£2.50 on Leeds, Swindon, Dundee Utd and Motherwell would pay £53
And three draws at Villa, Watford and Oldham would do me nicely.
If they all come up I'll Scoop a tidy £185
Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye to Ladbrokes ...

Like Spurs last night, Everton are desperate to get to a final and are a great price at 9/5 to beat Chelsea at Goodison in the second leg of their Carling Cup semi. A 1-0 win will see the Toffeemen through to the final. Mikel Arteta, left, is 14/1 first/last scorer with Ladbrokes.
