MotoGp: Le Mans

May 18, 2013
Marquez

Le Mans is most famous for the endurance racing, but this weekend there will be a frantic dash around the circuit as the MotoGp World Championship arrives in France. An interesting and eventful qualifying session left the young charger on the Honda in first position, and it is also clear from the way the grid lines up that his impact has already gone way beyond the championship table where he has a three point lead over his team-mate after the opening exchanges. It is the way his team-mate seems to have reacted this weekend that sheds a light on what [...]

Premier League: May the fourth be with you

May 18, 2013
Wenger

With relegation already settled and a couple of legends of the English game retiring the last knockings of the Premier League season look to be a little bit stale, but as always the race for Champions League football could give us a grandstand finish. Once again the battle rages across North London between Arsenal and their upstart rivals Spurs, for so long the whipping boys as the Gunners dominated all, and with ninety minutes and change left to play the men in red hold the slight advantage, and their fate in their own hands with a one-point lead and superior [...]

In praise of Jimmy

May 17, 2013
JAnderson

What unites Ian Botham, Bob Willis, Fred Truman and now James Anderson? The answer is that these are the four men to take more than 300 test wickets for England in their career, and with only Botham more than a handful ahead of Anderson at this point in time, on 383, it seems inevitable that the man they call Jimmy will pass into the history books as the second-best bowler at the very least. In fact, Botham has backed the Lancastrian to surpass his mark and become the undisputed record-holder for his nation, a great potential achievement for a man [...]

Goldenbye

It’d be easy to churn out yet another eulogy in a month of eulogising to an almost painful extent, but the news that David Beckham is retiring broke today and I can’t bring myself to care very much. I know he tried hard for England and lots of girls thought he was pretty, but when you consider the amount of rubbish written about him down the years and the amount of attention Paul Scholes got when retiring it just feels like people are going way overboard on the man they used to call goldenballs. My favourite quote on the Beckham [...]

Manager merry-go-round

May 15, 2013
JoseM

There look to be four massive jobs on offer this summer in the Barclays Premier League, and with the one at Old Trafford already taken and the one at Chelsea almost certain to be given to Jose Mourinho that just leaves the positions at Manchester City and Everton to play for. The two teams may be on different levels to some extent, but if the appointment of David Moyes as Manchester United manager proves one thing it is that Everton is still a grand job, and potentially a stepping stone to any job of any size, which will help in [...]

Europa League: Final

May 15, 2013
Rafa

The Europa League is one of those funny, enigmatic competition like the FA Cup or the fight to marry a Big Brother winner, where nobody really seems that bothered until the big day, when there is little choice but to spray yourself orange and try to remember you future wife’s name, but as the oldest cup competition proved there’ll be nobody in Amsterdam this evening wishing they could be elsewhere, as it’s a final, and ninety minutes of work separates the players from glory. There are people on the Chelsea squad that the public love to hate, but the record [...]
