    Is a clearout the answer?

    I guess we can all come up with some justification as to why we should retain player A or get rid of player B. But is an end of season cull the right thing to do here? All professional players have something to offer. We have a decent young squad that should be easily able to hold it's own in...

    Injury shock for Pakistan

    Both Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif who were due to take a further drugs test this week (the rest of the squad took theirs last week) have been ruled out of the world cup through injury. This is apparently completely unrelated to the fact that these two had previously failed drugs tests, but...

    Jade Goody

    Even if you hate Big Brother generally I think this year's show has been an interesting look at British society as it is now. For a while now Jade, Jordan, Kerry Katona etc have been held up as female role models and the ladette culture has been in the ascendancy. Subsequently, someone like...

  8. Is it down to discipline?

    Ok, so we all know we are now in a much tougher league. But are we really as bad as our results suggest? Do we genuinely believe that the teams we are playing now are generally all good enough to score at least 3 goals against us? Or is there something else fundamentally wrong? Tilly and Brush...

    Panorama Last Night

    Like many, I ensured I taped the Panoroma Investigation into the supposed &#39;bung culture&#39; of football transfers, last night. Anyone else see it? To be honest, apart from the dodgy Bolton deals involving Craig Allardyce (Sam&#39;s son; an ex fully licensed agent) and that Peter Harrison...

  14. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
