Awful Batting. Decent Bowling. First test in a while. Raises concerns about upcoming series in Asia. Continue reading
Peter Reid summed it up the referee should have booked Giggs for consistency, then he was guilty of following the letter of the law and overall it was the lack of consistency. Continue reading
I’ve a dirty secret. I just hate to admit it. OK must be honest. Continue reading
I don’t blame Liverpool for taking a position where they support their player. I can see how they view the ban as lengthy and maybe unfair. What I cannot forgive Continue reading
I wonder if PSG’s Leonardo with the Beckham move falling through got an anonymous call in a Portuguese accent saying Continue reading
I was put in mind of Dreyfus the eye twitching lunatic unable to handle that savant quality of Inspector Clouseau by Wenger’s analysis of Lee Probert’s refereeing. Continue reading
There is the trailer for a new film called Goon. It seems to be a comedy about a useless Ice Hockey player who’s role is to fight the other team’s goon and deliver hits for youtube consumption. I assume it tries to be a Major League for the NHL without the comedic talent. Continue reading
It’s an irony that Liverpool’s QC did not seek to attack the veracity of Evra given the bile of fans and the Liverpool management. That’s probably the only thing they could have done and even then with an entry level of 4 game ban at best they would have tempered the ban. Continue reading
This does not excuse the “I Saurez” campaign by Liverpool. That was an act of fuck you defiance. A complete and utter lack of respect for anyone else’s view. Disrespecting anti racism efforts and the FA in equal measure. Saurez had been banned 8 games for an aggravated verbal assault he was not Amanda Knox or the Birmingham 6.

I’ll ignore the science and fall in with the popular meme on race – that there are easily identifiable and meaningful categorisations of people by skin colour etc. Continue reading
For 30 minutes at Stamford Bridge City looked in command and they bullied a Chelsea side no longer the biggest in the Premier League – financially, figuratively, metaphorically and literally. Continue reading
Boxing is a funny sport. It’s probably got the highest percentage of professionals to participants as few continue beyond their teens to make a career or a pastime of it. As such it is not a wildly competitive sport. In addition it’s parceled into weight divisions of dubious need. Seriously do we need a weight between 9 stone and 9 stone 9 pounds? never mind 5 between 8 stone and 9 stone (14 pounds in other words). Continue reading
When one considers the spending on the likes of Smalling, Cleverley, Henderson, Carroll, Jones, Adam Johnson and Chelsea’s inability to create a single first teamer at anything but vast expense and high wages one can see the logic of Arsene Wenger. Continue reading
I thought England’s formation made more sense than it has done. If you’re gonna play a holding midfielder then at least put an extra one in there. Continue reading
