    Its not easy to predict this season, probably about as open as I've seen it since I've been watching it

    Smokey, even the ones with good records look suspect this year as not one team is standing out to me yet. But if any one can click now then they will take some beating, It's just, which one...??

    Day 9 and the grand old man makes light work of them again. This tournament looks to be his for the taking.

    I know I've said this before, but I can't believe how lucky I am to see the great Hakuho in action. He is to sumo what Bradman is to cricket. Brilliant.

    Crazy decision. Top manager. Done a great job with an average bunch. Mourinho favourite for it but i can't see him wanting it especially of all the rumours about the dressing room unrest are true

    Barmy decision. I wonder if they fancy Steve Bruce? <laugh>

    Day 11 and the tournament seems down to just 5 with a real chance.

    From a business/revenue sense he has done a great job. From a footballing/trophy success he has been a failure.

    I think the fact that he has stayed there and worked under someone like Levy tells me more about his level of tolerance , than it does about his managerial skills.

    Checked the Beeb website for the cricket score and am reassured by the headline that England continue to build a big 1st innings total 275-4. Nice. Check back 15 mins later, crash, bang, wallop and we're back to relying on Buttler and the unlikely batting hero Jack Leach. Off to bed!

    Wow Dortmund losing 3-0 at home to Paderborn at half time. Favre‘s days surely numbered?

    Hakuho wins the Kyushu Basho, taking his career tournament wins to 43, 11 more than anyone else in the history of the sport. At 34, everyone else is either a very pale shadow of their former selves or have been driven out of top level wrestling, Hakuho at 34 still stands like a colossus among the very best in the business today.

    The final day of the final Basho of the year. Congrats to the great Hakuho for the tournament win. The old master is rumoured to be hanging on until the Olympic games in Japan. Nobody is sure if he'll go after next year, but the way he's defying age, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him around for another year or two yet.
