Lions ratings: third Test 2:12pm on 06 Jul 2009
I thought that the lions played very well on Saturday, fair play to them picking themselves up for the last test, couldnt have been easy !

I thought that kearney was the player of the series, a huge talent with a very bright future, have never seen anybody take so many ridiculous high balls under pressure, quality try in the second test too not to mention other mazing runs throughout. I thought Shaw, BOD, Roberts, Phillips and Bowe were the other stand out players over the course of the tour.
Milan to Madrid via Manchester 09:32am on 09 Jun 2009
Regardless of this signing, I can still only see them playing second fiddle to Barcelona again. Barcelona are so much more complete as a team. The fact is that Real Madrid for all the stars in their team have not even reached the semis of the champions league in the past 5 years !!!

Always have good players but as a team, they just dont seem to get it done. I would fancy barcelona to dominate again next year.
Woods sets the agenda in thrilling style 3:23pm on 30 Mar 2009
Look the fact is woods played very well but O'Hair cracked. Whatever way you look at it, o'hair played 3 days of good solid golf and then when it mattered, his game fell apart. If he had played anywhere like the first 3 days, woods's round would have made no difference. This is definitely one that O'Hair lost rather than woods one.

That said fair play to woods for cashing in when everybody else fell apart
Woods sets the agenda in thrilling style 10:46am on 30 Mar 2009
It still doesnt hide that like so many other tournaments, that the opposition lost it more than tiger won it. He won this tournament as a result of another player putting it on a platter. I agree he can only beat whats in front of him but it doesnt hide the fact that a top 20 golfer should at least be able to shoot 1 over par on the final day
Woods sets the agenda in thrilling style 10:10am on 30 Mar 2009
I am certainly not a tiger hater by any means. But you cant hide the fact that like so many other tournaments, he was handed this tournament as a result of his playing partner bottling it. If O'Hair had even shot 1 over he still would have won !!! If tiger had shot 65 or 64 then fair enough but come on !
Woods sets the agenda in thrilling style 09:07am on 30 Mar 2009
I Dont mean any disrespect to tiger woods but this is yet another tournament handed to him by his playing partners collapse. If O'Hair had even shot a measly one over par, he still would have won. Although I respect woods for being a great player, the fact that these lesser players just brick it when they play with him is just a joke. I cant even count the times where woods has been pretty much handed tournaments by players just bottling it on the last day. The guy had a 5 shot lead, its just craziness.

On the upside, great to see harrington finding a bit of form. Hopefully he will keep it up and be nicely tuned for the Masters. Harrington seems to be the only player who does not brick it when playing with woods. In fact he outscored him on day two of this tournament. I would just love to see harrington in final pairing with woods at Augusta. I think if harrington can get his putter working, he is a very dangerous player and he doesnt seem to fear woods. Dont get me wrong, woods is the best player out there but I think harrington is very mentally strong so he could get the job done.
Is Phelps really the greatest? 4:30pm on 13 Aug 2008
Greatest ever has to be Carl Lewis, greatest sprinter ever in my view and also incredible at the Long Jump. He also won the 200 Metres if I remember correctly. Also won various world championship medals.

An absolute legend !!
