First Impressions 21 Aug 2013 | 05:16 pm
So what have we learned after 1 game of the Premier League 2013-14? 1. Roberto Mancini will not be missed. If you believe all the reports, Mancini treated managed men in the same way that sheepdogs ...
Robbo`s Predictive Text 16 Aug 2013 | 10:36 pm
-Well I've had a lovely summer bathing in the warm glow of on-tap micro-brewery ale, savouring the tissue-paper thin spine of the Australian batting line-up, and slowly recovering from a torn calf mus...
It may never get better than this 23 Jul 2013 | 06:38 pm
I don't watch golf as a rule. I've tried playing it and have come to the conclusion that they should make the balls and the bats a lot bigger. There's a stereotype of golf in this country isn't there?...
In Praise of Testing Times 16 Jul 2013 | 03:53 pm

The Dark and Very Bleak Ages. 30 May 2013 | 03:48 pm
Gary Lineker says England's football is going back to the Dark Ages. It's hard not to agree. During training Wayne Rooney and Phil Jagielka cleaned out the hog's bladder by hand. Ashley Cole stitched...
Baling Out? 20 May 2013 | 04:55 pm
I spent the last weekend of Premier League fixtures with my arse firmly on the back of my seat. No squeaky bums. Not even a sweaty crotch. Unless you were part of the North London neighbourhood carve-...
