Alternative transfer deadline day 06:06am on 03 Feb 2009 For once the blog was amusing.....unlike most of them
Barclays is a bit sorry 10:18am on 18 Nov 2008 Is it a coincidence that the Chairman of Barclays (Marcus Agius) was also the Chairman of BAA immediately prior to it's sale to the Spanish - any connection with selling British institutions abroad?
West Ham join Olympic Stadium mystery 08:17am on 24 Sep 2008 Of course a Premier League club should be able to afford a stadium of this calibre providing it maintains its status in the league - what happens if it get relegated or Sky turn off the tv funding taps? (after all they, with their 'monopoly' could do that and then the money in the game could be vastly reduced from other tv companies!) The issue of the athletics track did not affect the original Wembley (cinder/dog track) and retractable seating would afford the luxury of both a modern football and athletics stadia. The cost of this option should be cheaper than a stand-alone purpose built stadium with associated land purchase costs etc.
Madejski right to hit out at wages 07:50am on 21 Aug 2008 Of course he has a point. Why do we now question why the England football team do not perform in the same way as the Olympic Athletes when for example Frank Lampard earns more by Monday lunchtime than Rebecca Adlington gets in a year - and she trains around 3 times A DAY longer than he does.

While it is easy to criticise one player (Mr Lampard is not alone in earning obscene amounts of money) the collective earnings of the England team in a week would probably pay for around 100 Olympians a year. No wonder England football team get 'booed' and the Olympians cheered.
