My Chinese Grand Prix predictions 3:59pm on 17 Apr 2009 guys what's your issue...hamilton and button are both english...so it will be an english and a british 1-2. Just like if murray wins wimbledon it is a scottish and british win...durrr

jeez!
Cabrera's tenacity makes the difference 11:37am on 13 Apr 2009 holy-moley, i don't know what ymasters you were watching but cabrera's putt was 8, not three feet. It was a great putt, middle of the hole under the nerviest of circumstances...
The problem with winner takes all 5:05pm on 18 Mar 2009 I think this is a veeerrrry silly idea. This will introduce all sorts of problems. firstly, it means that a driver competing for the wolrd championship has no incentive to finish high up unless he is going to win the race...e.g. if hamilton is 18th and is a lap behind massa, wheras before he would chase and chase to try and salvage a few points, now he might as well retire and save his engine, as he can't get anything meaningful anyway.

It also encourages tactical disruption and means the races will be less competitive in the middle of the points. Plus, what is wrong with finishing consistently near the front, but not winning? in my eyes Kubica was a better driver than Massa last year because he got consistently near the front...i think lots of podiums is far more impressive than a few wins.

The FIA scare me. They are never very impartial and dont seem to have their priorities right. If they wanted to value wins more why not simply increase the points for a win? it could be calibrated so it is very difficult to win the championship without winning plenty of races. (e.g 12, 8.....)
Move over Murray, these Games ain't for you 1:47pm on 12 Aug 2008 some interesting views on this blog. I do find the original article a little rubbish- all the injuries mentioned are serious ones which could stop many missing grand slams-namely davenport/sharapova.

Anyone saying that the olympics should be for amateurs is mad- it is designed for the ELITE- if we only had amateurs most events would be farcical and a gold medal would no longer be a crowning achievement.

Unsure whether tennis should be olympic material. /the tour system doesnt really seem to suit olympics as there are bigger tournaments to win. much better when there are just worlds/europeans/nationals like athletics. Then again it is appropriate as an actual sport and provides real athletes like rafa.

tricky....
Dutch delight but don't write off Italy 6:15pm on 11 Jun 2008 according to stugotz 100 everyone any good is rubbish so will not win the tournament...

hmm

Greece again?
You Are The Ref #4 5:57pm on 11 Jun 2008 no free kick- a free kick can only be awarded if a player passes TO the keeper, intentionally, and he picks it up. Here, the midfielder passed to the defender, hence not a backpass is the normal sense
Which is the best Euro goal ever? 12:07pm on 03 Jun 2008 IMHO, any shot that doesn't come sweetly off the foot, is defelected or the goalie gets a touch to can't be a truly great goal as it just isn't accurate enough.

i reckon the best ones there are poborsky, brolin, maniche and van basten, with sukors right up there.

Brolins goal is a great finish and fantastic build up, and maniche and bastens goals are two of the best ever.
