Benitez and O'Neill on the offensive 12:09pm on 25 Aug 2009 I am feeling smug as everybody was writing arsenal out of top four yet i was reassuring all my friends it would be liverpool losing out to man city/spurs this year.

Everybody highlighted it last year, the last minute goal flukes, the draws and wins achieved in the last 5 minutes of games. It is just not possible to do that 2 years in succession. Arsenal won the league with their "invincibles" and i remember them scoring a lot of last minute winners and equalisers but they couldn't sustain that.

Anyway, i think liverpool will struggle this year, as one of the first comments said, no way will the double man u and chelsea so it would appear their title stint IS over already.
My British Grand Prix predictions 09:54am on 20 Jun 2009 I can't wait for this grand prix, with all the factors that could come into play and affect it!
It will be the first grand prix with qualifying in the wet if the forecast is right and that could obviously make for a Red Bull one-two if their car still has the wet dominance they showed earlier in the season.
England World Twenty20 player ratings 11:46pm on 15 Jun 2009 I am not exactly a cricketer but i have watched near on every match of this tournament (due to revision being boring XD) however i think that Bopara deserves an 8. He may not have gotten a fantastic strike rate but when everybody else around you is getting out frequently you need somebody to stay in. I thought his innings today was quality. He only got out because he was stuck with Collingwood and a lower order whose strike rate is less than Ireland's. Without Peiterson hitting over 50 we will always struggle to hit more than around 150 due to getting so many dotts and ones.

I don't understand how Collingwood has done anything to deserve his place. Coming in as #4/5/6 you would have thought he would be a big hitter but his strike rate is pitiful. I would rather (whether anyone would agree is a different matter) see him whack 20 off 8 balls than get 14 off 13 or 10 off 9. In all reality what does that gain you in Twenty Twenty?

Although today was still interesting with our massive bowling line up in comparison to the windies massive batting line up.

My two picks from after the first match was the windies and sri lanka but now they have to play eachother :(.
