    Philipe Gilbert's 2011 season

    It's only April but already I can't see any individual or team fom any sport eclipsing Gilbert's haul of Classics wins for the outstanding sports achievement of the year. So strong and unlike Cancellara, who was fucking impressive in RvV and Paris-Roubaix with his solo attacks blowing everyone...

    Wolves Away

    Oh for fuck's sake! I missed the members' application period through my own doziness. Then because we didn't sell out our application the club put some on general sale yesterday and they've already sold out...grrr! Who are all these people who (a) aren't One Hotspur members but want to go to...

    Fulham FA Cup tickets

    Have they sold out to season ticket holders? This is the period when any remaining should be available to lilywhite+bronze members, but don't seem to be. I know about the neutral section, but would rather be in the legit away end. So much for the FA Cup losing its appeal, 4th round and you have...

    Chris Gayle triple

    Pains me to report that Gayle hit 333 at Galle. Highlights will be on islandcricket.lk, sounds an entertaining knock, sixes-a-plenty. WI won toss and elected to bat. Currently 569/7 in first innings nearing end of day 2. We're in trouble but if we can avoid the follow-on, there'll be no time...

    England - Pakistan

    Been a good series this. England are in trouble today. It's day two, but there wasn't much play yesterday due to rain. England lost 3 wickets this morning before they'd added to their overnight tally. Looking at very likely a first innings deficit, although Pakistan are pretty fucking...

    India in Sri Lanka 2010

    Well it kicked off with the Murali show in Galle. A glorious finale to a glorious career, although Mali almost stole the show. I was so chuffed when Murali took the last wicket, and to get a five-for in his last Test. Some of his world records, most Test wickets and most 5-fors will never be...

    800 retired

    Living legend :bowdown: That record will stand forever, as I think the average number of Tests played per year is going to decline dramatically. It already is, and I think a turnaround is out of the question. We're only playing six Test matches in total this year, 2010. Compared to eleven in...

    Tour de France 2010

    Doesn't seem to be a thread. I can't be bothered to write much now, may be back later with more musings, but did anyone see today's finish? Brilliant! Really exciting. Garmin, HTC and Lampre all fighting for control. I thought approaching the final straight Garmin had done enough, 3 in front...

    Boom Boom and Shiv

    Just a heads up for anyone who might be interested. Afridi hit 124 off 60 today in a ODI against Bangladesh. 84 of those in boundaries to only 40 ran!! Elsewhere Shiv is 163* in a Test agaisnt Proteas, so on his way to a double ton with any luck.

    Timber! Five-for! and the match! Mali you beauty

    Malinga five-for wins the opening match of the Asia Cup for Sri Lanka. Closing spell of 3-0-9-3, finishing figures of 10-0-34-5, superb. Boom Boom had given Pakistan the advantage with a fantastic 109 off 76, including 8 fours and 7 sixes. It was apparently an incredible innings, and it took a...

    Darren Sammy WTF?!

    Darren Sammy hit 58* off 24 in the one-dayer against South Africa with 2 fours and 6 sixes. Strike rate 241.66. He was batting at number nine. West Indies must be wishing they sent him in earlier. They were bowled out for 283 chasing 300 but there were 2 overs left and Sammy was left stranded...

    SL vs NZ in USA

    In all probability talking to myself here, but what the hey... A great Mathews catch off Kula's bowling dismisses Brendam McCullum just as he was looking dangerous, in the early stages of this first T20 International on American soil. And Jayasuriya is thankfully dropped so we are giving...

    T20 pushing up standard of fielding.

    I'll start off by saying that T20 is my least favourite of the three formats. But I still enjoy it. I know I'm opening myself up to condecension from purists, but I have enjoyed the recent IPL. Chennai just won the final, I started off marginally behind them since I love Murali more than Sachin...

    You've been shite son, in your daft pink boots

    Richard Keys talking about Walcott, unaware that he's live on air. Richard was heard screaming: ‘Get up, you stupid little boy.’ He then added: ‘You’ve been s***e, son, in your daft pink boots - absolute rubbish.’”...

    Paris-Roubaix 2010

    Bit gutted that the Queen of the Classics, l'Enfer du Nord (the Hell of the North) clashes with our semi-final. I'll be at Wembley and wouldn't dream of missing the match even if I didn't have a ticket. But it's unfortunate timing, I'd have liked to watch this. For me it's not as entertaining as...

    Man City 5th May 8pm

    The rearranged date for city away is Wednesday 5th May 8pm. Could well be crucial. City are 2 points behind with a game in hand that they play this Wednesday (I think). If you applied for a ticket for the original weekend game and can't make a Wednesday night in Manchester, you need to...
