Wenger finds defeat hard to swallow 11:22am on 03 Dec 2009 I am certainly not a supporter of Arsenal but if the shaking of someones hand at the end of the match is of such fascination and importance to you then should you not also find fascination with and highlight exactly what Hughes was saying to Wenger in such a seemingly aggressive and abusive manner throughout the game, because this certainly could have an impact on future actions. This would also give an unbiased view of the situation and then we could decide if Wengers actions were warranted or not. If the people involved refused to tell you then I believe it is 'shoddy' to do as the press do in this circumstance as a form of punishment to the person refusing to comply and simply make up a reason e.g. sore loser, and publish a character assasination of one of the greatest managers the game has ever seen. As courtesy and respect is so important to you under any circumstances then Wenger certainly deserves a more courtious and respectful article from someone such as yourself who in comparison has achieved very little in the game.

My personal view is that a hand shake is not a matter of course under any circumstances. It may not be appropriate depending on previous actions, and indeed may even be hypocritcal, so I do not know if Wenger was right or wrong, because like you Phil I am not in possession of the full facts, but then again this would make a less 'shoddy' but also less controversial blog ;-)
The remarkable story of Brawn GP 1:59pm on 20 Oct 2009 Brawn has done an incredible job, particularly in stealing a march on almost all his rivals re the diffuser, but lets not be blinded by patriotism and a sudden love of Jenson. He is nothing more than a better than average driver that was handed the world title because his car was initially not just miles better than everyone elses car, but critically was using a piece of technology that the majority of teams were not using, and more importantly thought was illegal. Once all the teams had the same interpretation of the technical guidelines, Jenson became just a better than average driver again who beat his popular, talented and yet ageing team mate when he was well past his best. Oh and a car operating to a perceived different set of rules is not the same as a team that has just developed their car better and of course the latter has always been the case.

One final point, I cannot believe people are even suggesting Button is a better driver than Hamilton. This is madness, and is one reason I wish he hadnt won the title this year. If Button truly is that good then watch him move to one of the top teams...exactly it wont happen.

Oh well we have to put up with the play boy under achiever being able to bang on about world champion forever more, and listen to him saying this justifies the way he wasted his career to date. Schuey, Alonso, Hamilton..Button..spot the odd one out.

Roll on next year when true talent will again be reflected, but once again well done Ross - you are a genius
Valencia is not Ronaldo-lite 12:37pm on 01 Jul 2009 You are right he is not Ronaldo-lite, he is Ronaldo-zero
