Robbo's England World Cup squad 4:14pm on 15 Oct 2009 Well I for one will be cheering on whoever plays against Ireland, I still remember 94.
Brett Favre set to struggle in Minnesota 10:37am on 12 Sep 2009 The happiest person from all this should be Peterson. Favre is clearly past his best but he still has game and brings more variety to the Vikings O. Dont think he was the perfect signing (Vick would have been a scary exciting signing) but definitely a good move.
Cast-iron uncertainties 09:30am on 01 Sep 2009 Beyondthepale quick off the mark as per usual.

Top work again Robbo.
Gentlemen of ill repute 4:39pm on 20 Aug 2009 "And as for calling rugby a minority sport? If the only way to qualify rugby as a major sport is if the players earn weekly six figure salaries, then long may it continue to be a minority sport......."

No, its a minority sport because so few countries play it... ...and in those countries (NZ aside) its not the biggest sport and not many people in those countries really care. Ronaldo stepping into a club with a leggy blonde gets more coverage which is pretty sad!
Turning down Newcastle 2:24pm on 10 Aug 2009 If they pick Ramps i'll eat my keyboard!
Cash n Grab 3:15pm on 15 Jul 2009 re no.8, yes Johnson cost £10 mill plus they wiped the £7 mill Pompey owed them for Crouch, so Johnson cost £17 mill.

I like the fact an City are splashing the cash and should at some point in the next few seasons challenge the top 4 but would find it hilarious if they went down!

I genuinely cant see how Hughes is going to keep all those forwards happy, in fact it just isnt going to happen. Robinho to Chelsea anyone?
Feel the Urn! 2:10pm on 09 Jul 2009 Love the blog Robbo but I wish people would stop getting on KP's back for getting out with stupid shots considering most of the runs he scores are with completely untextbook (is that a word) strokes.

Keep doing exactly what you are KP, you wont find me repeatedly criticising our best batsman for top scoring!
Iain Carter's US Open Diary 09:18am on 19 Jun 2009 Cant agree with the pick and place theoey myself. Everybody is playing in the same conditions so its the same for everybody. A drop for a plugged lie is fine but that is all.
T20 Tizzy 2:45pm on 15 Jun 2009 Great to dump India out infront of their home crowd. I hope we can do the same to Pakistan later in the tournament!
Daylight Droggery! 3:40pm on 07 May 2009 Perhaps if Chelsea had shown the same degree of urgency for 90 minutes that they showed after the equaliser the debate here would be academic.
*They werent behind, why show mega urgency

The referee did have a diabolical game and in my view his biggest failing was not booking Ballack for his agressive remonstrations after the last penalty shout.
*Errr, he did.

Referees and officials can have bad games and last night they had a shocker, this doesnt however condone the behaviour of Drogba et al after the whistle.
*Also booked
How many matches has he influenced with his feining over the years and how much more difficult does it then make the job of the officals to separate truth from fiction?
*Certainly not on his own, ie Gerrard, Ronaldo, Klinnsman

Players expectations of officials are unrealistic and week in week out I watch games where the initial view of something is a cast iron decision one way or another, an alternate angle or slow motion however shows that the reality is very different.
*On each 3 blatant penalties and a stupid sending off, get real.

Officials need to have confidence in their convictions when making a decision and players who cheat or are confrontational do not help their cause with the officials.
*Their cause couldnt be helped because the shocking decisions made CAUSED the confrontations!

Chelsea needed to put the game beyond doubt and in failing to do this left it open for Barca to nick it.
*and im confident, given 3 penalties the game would have been put beyond Barcelona.

Armchair idiot post who clearly got picked last day in day out in the playground.
