Champions League Final
May 21, 2008 | 7:22AM | BobbyMcMahon
Not surprisingly Monday’s furour about the Luzhniki Stadium pitch appears to have died away as we now hear that it is going to be just fine. From the equivalent of a neglected public park pitch to no problem in 48 hours – a miracle indeed. ... Read More

The Week That Was and Things That Torqued Me Off
May 01, 2008 | 7:00PM | slshusker
We’ve survived a sports bonanza the past week, yet why do I feel worn out and annoyed by redundancy and unanticipated sleaze?
1) The NFL Draft-Can this event go on any longer? Thank God the league shortened the first round selection time from 15 minutes. The number of talking heads who claim to know the draft order gives me headaches. Who p... Read More

Matt Johnston - Much has been made of the Diaby and Eduardo tackles and I have to voice my agreement that the two are indistinguishable except that Eduardo was unlucky to have had his foot planted. The FA and FIFA have cracked down on such hard challenges, ordering referees to show the red ... Read More

ZUCO2 - Do you agree with me that the title race in the Serie A is officially open?Bobby – Serie A is like Liga this season – it seems that every time the leader has built a substantial lead they seem to find away to drop points and to cast new doubts on the eventual winner ……again. Inter will finish with way less points than last season (97 points) as they have already dropped 22... Read More
