Pochettino says...something. Not a lot though http://www.tottenhamjournal.co.uk/s...ce_between_a_head_coach_and_manager_1_3861711
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/sports-personality/30179284 Another year nearly gone and it's that time again. It's hard to look past McIlroy, isn't it with two Majors and the Ryder Cup? Although F1 drivers do well and Hamilton is in the news now.
Hamilton will probably win it but it should be Bale or McIlroy. Hamilton won a 2 horse race, and whilst Real Madrid have a big advantage over most teams, Bale scored one of the great cup final goals against Barcelona and scored in the biggest game of the year. He's dragged Wales up to a position where they're looking certain to qualify for the Euros too. Not sure how dresage and F1 count as proper sports either.
There's a couple of other ways to look at it... i.) He's getting lost in a language he's unfamiliar with ii.) What he actually did was misdirect a room full of vultures looking for any excuse to make up more stories of our squad being divided into two camps and shut down that line of questioning
Darren Bent to Brighton for a month. Maybe they can help each other as his career needs a boost and their season needs a boost.
If they start him regularly and give him halfway decent service, then he'll score them plenty of goals, especially at that level. I just hope that they have enough people willing to pick up the slack for his low workrate or he finally pulls his finger out and starts to do a bit when he's not got the ball.
R.I.P Phil Hughes Terrible, shocking news. And you have to feel for Sean Abbott who bowled the delivery too.
Cricket injures more than any other sport. I'm sorry to hear this about a young cricketer and I feel for his family. A hard ball coming at your head at 100 mph is dangerous to put it mildly. Geoff Thompson said that he liked to see blood on the pitch, do we really need that sort of character on the cricket field? Isn't it way beyond the realms of sportsmanship to say something like that? I remember other cricketers who needed resuscitating on the field and broken bones to boot. Sad, sad, sad.
Terrible tragedy. Remember watching him play for Middlesex. It's a sad day for cricket-a player in his prime. R.I.P
It's a horrible, unfortunate accident. The ball hit him in the one place where his helmet offered no protection. I'm sure a radical redesign of these will be forthcoming. The bouncer was originally intended as a weapon of surprise and intimidation. It has been overused by many fast bowlers, notably Lillee & Thompson. Also, the W.I. fast bowlers. We started it all with the infamous bodyline bowling in the '30's ashes tests.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/30236817 Very good article which reflects my view on the issue too. We are always surrounded by death, yet it takes the death of a sportsman in his prime to make us truly aware of our own mortality and the fragility of life. As a Utd fan, I still find the Munich Air Disaster shocking, yet it happened before my time and I never saw any of the players who died play. 56 years on it is still hard to comprehend how a number of the best footballers of the day suddenly and unexpectedly died. The other side of the coin is how Fabrice Muamba is received these days. People applaud him and want to shake his hand for no other reason than how he remarkably cheated death. His story is so life affirming.
John White sitting under that tree in a lightning storm comes to mind.What a loss,especially for his young wife and kids!
Anyone else just watched the ODI between England v Sri Lanka? England managed 8 fours in 43 overs of batting. Can any team really be this clueless about what's required to play this format of the game? Root and Bopara scored over 100 runs between them - 2 fours
