Quotes of the week 12:31pm on 02 Dec 2009 I'm surprised that the Wolves fans didn't know who Chelsea were. Drogba, Terry et al are all really quite famous players...
Moyes & Everton face testing times 10:12am on 30 Nov 2009 "...fifth place in the Premier League and an FA Cup Final appearance last season is now looking increasingly like the peak of the Moyes era."

For goodness' sake Phil, you make it sound as if Moyes is about to be fired!

Everton have a small squad and key members of it have been injured at various points this season; of course this will affect their form
Drogba inflicts pain on Liverpool 09:07am on 05 Oct 2009 You could have saved everyone else a few minutes by simply saying 'Drogba scored, Torres didn't and overall Liverpool weren't very good', rather than dressing that up as an article of any substance with the usual overblown rhetoric
Let's celebrate Moore and Beckham 08:38am on 12 Feb 2009 It's all very well saying that Moore is a greater player than Beckham because he won the World Cup, but surely that's unfair - it's a team game after all.

Ryan Giggs has never appeared in a World Cup, and George Best didn't either; that doesn't detract from them as players!
Money talks in Super Bowl 2:21pm on 02 Feb 2009 Comment #1

Are you suggesting that the Premiership ISN'T a circus? Hmm...
French look to put the boot in 08:57am on 27 Nov 2008 'This blog is my regular take on the sports stories and issues behind the headlines'.

Except it isn't - this blog is just regurgetated news that can be widely found from various sources 3 days beforehand, or basic information that anyone can read about on Wikipedia. There is no 'take' here at all.
Don't just repeat what people know already Mihir; try to make a point or something, otherwise this isn't a 'blog' at all
Location of 2012 shooting venue causes consternation 3:38pm on 24 Nov 2008 So it turns out that claims in this blog can be filed with the ones made about Everton being sold a few weeks ago, under the heading 'inaccurate and not backed up with any evidence whatsoever'. Excellent.
West Ham's stadium plans set to change 2:32pm on 18 Nov 2008 #60
It was announced a few weeks ago on this blog that Everton were about to be sold, with Bill Kenwright being overseas to negotiate a deal - that proved to be completely & utterly incorrect.

Despite numerous comments here asking for some justification of that story's details, none were forthcoming - this is why I'm now sceptical about facts that aren't verified in any way.
West Ham's stadium plans set to change 09:11am on 18 Nov 2008 Mihir,

It drives me crazy when I read your posts and it's full of 'I'm told such and such' and 'My sources tell me x, y, and z'.
I work as a copywriter and I need to verify every fact that I write about. This is only correct, itherwise I could write any old nonsense.

I think it's only fair that you clarify where you get your information from, otherwise it's impossible to take these 'revelations' with anything other than a pinch of salt.
Sports leaders dodge the crunch 3:32pm on 24 Oct 2008 I have to agree with Jamminben's comment - is there any chance of some actual details Mihir?

I'm absolutely no expert but still would have thought it very obvious that the sponsorship of sport is, generally, still good business; people are still going to be obsessed with sport regardless of how volatile the financial markets are, whether we're in recession or not, etc etc.

I'd be amazed if the 'sports representative' simply said it is good business sense and then stopped there, without going into at least a little further detail?

Without any more in-depth analysis, this article doesn't actually say, well, anything.
