BMW PGA: Wentworth

May 25, 2013

For a while the sports of golf and tennis held an almost unique place in the overall pantheon, populated as they were by friendly and educated people who seemed above the sort of backbiting and underhanded rubbish you get in some of the coarser games, but the last couple of months have been anything but edifying for the old game of stickball. The debate over belly putters looks set to rumble onward with the news Adam Scott has joined a group planning a legal challenge to the new regulations, and then we had Sergio Garcia and everything that followed his [...]

Champions League final preview

May 24, 2013
Klopp

Although our representatives in the Champions League this season all ended up failing, in some ways we still have a small British presence in the final with it being staged at Wembley this year, and while there may have been a bit of a kerfuffle over the building of the new stadium nights like this make you glad they bothered. Bayern are the best team in Europe, demolishing the much-vaunted Bundesliga and coming off a loss to Chelsea in last year’s final, and in Dortmund they have a fascinating opponent to try and overcome. The side in black and gold [...]

F1: Monaco 2013

May 24, 2013

Formula 1 racing is supposed to be the pinnacle of four-wheeled motorsport, where the greatest daredevil racers in the world go head-to-head in cars crafted from exotic materials to test the laws of physics and the credulity of the adoring public, but once a year all that goes on the back-burner for the Monaco Grand Prix. We would never deny for a second that Monte Carlo is a spectacular setting for a race, or the difficulty of the technical challenge presented by the track there, but in terms of slicing and dicing, and more crucially overtaking even the addition of [...]

Unsung XI: PL Team of the Year

May 22, 2013
Laudrup

Simon Mignolet – in a season upset by managerial upheaval and a shortage of strikers the Belgian keeper has been a constant at the back for Sunderland, even if his international career may be hampered by the astonishing Thibaut Courtois, and without a keeper of such reassurance things could have been very different for the Black Cats.   Seamus Coleman – the unsung hero in a defence full of unsung heroes, Coleman is a tireless worker who sees his partner at fullback get what few plaudits are sent their way. 31 starts and just four yellows also paint a picture [...]

Stoke City: Ta-ta, Tony

May 21, 2013
Pulis

Ten years at a club, unprecedented success and one of the most unique and definable styles of football anywhere in Europe look to be coming to an end this week, but Arsenal fans need not worry, or rejoice, depending on their bent. It is the ultimate divisive character of the Premier League, Mr Tony Pulis of Bournemouth, Bristol, Gillingham and latterly Stoke who will be out of work for the immediate future, and while you may love or loathe the way both he and his side conduct themselves he is undeniably a name in modern football. For a while Sky [...]

The future at the Emirates

May 20, 2013
AWenger2

Far be it from anyone to gloat, but there was an almost uncomfortable amount of schadenfreude on display from Arsenal fans in the wake of their heroes securing fourth place in the league this season at the expense of Tottenham, and some of the scenes post-match showed the squad celebrating too. It isn’t often I feel sympathy for any fan of another team than my own, especially Arsenal, but those people who call for Arsene Wenger to leave must have felt another part of their souls die to see the way the players were acting, and I agree to some [...]
