    World Series of Poker

    Finished this morning in London after a mammoth final table session. John Juanda eventually managed to beat the painfully slow (at times) Stanislav Alekhin. The Russian had played extremely well to build up a solid chip lead but after Juanda had bullied some of Alekhin's raises, it came down...

    Money Won't Buy Al-Fahim Success

    It may be billed as 'the clash of the cash', but if anyone at Manchester City thinks that their sky-rocketing bank balance automatically gives them parity on the pitch with Chelsea, then tonight's game is going to be a really nasty wake-up call. When you sweep away the tabloid headlines and the...

    Rafa Benitez

    In an ideal world, Rafa Benitez would have flown back to England with the rest of us on Monday, tingling with excitement after watching one of the finest international tournaments in decades and clutching a notepad full of potential summer signings. In an ideal world, as manager of one of the...

    Your Licence Fee in action

    Is anyone else getting the feeling that no-one at the Beeb has a clue about anything? This is their Russian 'effort', but I can't help thinking that the bloke who wrote it only knows the name of one player and has resolutely based the entire preview on him despite the fact that he's suspended...

    A question for our more mature posters: Do you remember a Freindly played at Roots Hall on the 6th November 1973 agimst Zenit Lenigrad (now Zenit St Petersburg)? From memory in a very adventourous pre season tour we have played three or four games in Russia the previous season, quite...

    Pub Quiz Pt. God knows

    As Staind said "It's been a while", but I thought I might as well bring it back, hopefully with no arguments with the answers this time round. Usual rules apply, usual people are banned. :p 1. What did Pandora release when she opened her box or jar? 2. What is Barack Obama's middle name? 3...

    Chelsea fans will feel crushed today

    Thanks guys, really glad you liked it! Here's the follow-up: High up near the rafters of the Luzhniki Stadium, as the early morning rain washed away the tears of his expensively assembled superstars, the Super Tsar himself, Roman Abramovich, sat disconsolately wondering what might have been...

    Manchester United v Chelsea Euro final

    They went into the last day of the league separated only by goal difference and when it came to the final of the biggest cup competition in the world, the margin between Manchester United and Chelsea was somehow even thinner. After 120 minutes of gruelling football that ebbed and flowed between...

    Glasgow Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg

    Tired legs against fresh ones, defensive containment against attacking intent; tonight's UEFA Cup Final between Glasgow Rangers and Zenit St Petersburg will be a real clash of strengths and styles, but Dick Advocaat is convinced that he can secure a historic result against his old side. The...

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 3

    The stage is now set for what we can confidently call, without any fear of exaggeration, the most important English club football match in history. Manchester United's hard-fought progression to the European Cup Final means that, whatever happens tonight, it will be an all-Premier League affair...

    The Last Shadow Puppets

    I'm listening to their new song on You Tube called 'The Age of the Understatement'. I have to admit I do really like this song. The video is alright as well, has a bit of a Russian feel to it. Anyone else like song, or do you think that Alex Turner should just stick with being in the Arctic...

    Spurs Superior To Baffling Blues

    We all chuckled when Jonathan Woodgate claimed that he joined Tottenham in order to have a chance of winning trophies but, appropriately enough, it was the former Middlesbrough centre-back who delivered the long-suffering club their first silverware in nine years at Wembley Stadium. “Scoring...

    Boring, boring Chelsea

    Thanks to Chelsea, I’m in a lot of trouble right now. You see, when I cover an away game from the television, I usually take the opportunity to invite a few people over, let them raid my beer fridge and then sit nearest the television with a notepad while they chatter around me. It was only...

    This week we have a tune about an unreadable book by a junkie bisexual who managed to shoot his wife dead in a game of russian roulette. From sampling pioneer Tim Simenon's Bomb The Bass we have Bug Powder Dust, with a killer rap from Justin Warfield. Boys with guitars and floppy hair will...
