    The curious case of Joey Barton and his crucade against women in the men's game

    He did a deep thinker sixth former who has learned x2 Nietzsche quotes reinvention a few years back. I remember one of the channels having him on in the studio for a London NFL game, twatting on about stuff he knew nowt about. It was obvious back then that this was where he would end up. UK...

    Euro 2020: Semi-Charmed Life

    Worst commentating on a big sporting moment I can recall. Absolute diarrhoea of the mouth.

    2015-16 Championship- keep your other crappy leagues out of here.

    They just shat it. Caught between two (exceptionally faecal) stools. For a while I thought I might experience a shadow of what it was like to be a Yankee fan in 2004. Thank Odin I did not. I have no idea what will happen in the final, but make the good guys slight favourites. In 2008 I vomited...

    2015-16 Championship- keep your other crappy leagues out of here.

    Derby were toothless but the first goal was off a long punt and completely against the run of play, the second was a pinball deflection and the third was prototypical last minute breakaway malarkey against a team desperate to salvage something for the second leg. I'm a Hull City Tigerz fan and...

    Premier League - TV Rights

    I bet you £10.2m that there is very little trickle down and that no hell is paid.

    MLB to play games in Europe next year? (Amsterdam??)

      Mike Carlson off the telly tells a story about his time working for MLB in Europe, organising the minor league game they held in London back in the 90s. They were looking at Lord's as the likely venue, but it all went a little sour when some stateside grand fromage was informed she wouldn't...

    2014-15 Europa League: Dammit

    Didn't make it out to the first leg, but Trencin were good and City were fortunate. Lots of beer fuelled experts on European football's dark territories milling about beforehand: "don't see why we can't make the quarter finals here kid" and so on. Less so 2 minutes in, or afterwards. I figured...

    2014 Summer Holiday Transfer News and Speculation

    "The Daily Phone Hacker understands that blah blah blah" is a house style equivalent to ESPN's mythical "sources". And the plausibly deniable wink wink part of it is appropriate and necessary since most of it comes straight from the mouth of some agent or club trying to force a move/engineer a...

    Tour de France (incl. Fantasy League)

    The riders are on closed radios between team mates and the team car. Race Radio is the general info service that goes to all the team cars and the media, but not the riders. That said I'm a little surprised the teams with a serious interest in GC didn't let their riders know he'd climbed off...

    The Zen of Rooting for Club and Country

    Lincs is a bit of a footballing wasteland. Boston Utd, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Lincoln City are the local clubs, tinpot all. Hull City are across the river to the north, but somewhat of a traditional rival of the middle 2 and historically pretty crappy too. Across the Wash there's Ipswich and...

    Tour de France (incl. Fantasy League)

    Andy survived the pave very well last time it appeared in the tour by latching onto Cancellara's wheel, but that pair are generally allergic to anything like this. Both severely deficient in grinta and bike handling skills. Andy's already back home anyway, crashed and did his knee on stage 3.

    Tour de France (incl. Fantasy League)

    They're horrendous to ride, but I have no problem with them appearing in the TdF every once in a while (or the sterrati in the Giro, etc). It's part of cycling's history and culture, and there's no rule that says a grand tour should only be decided by mountains or time trials. And since the vast...
