The Sports I Love

Football - the beautiful game. Whether watching, playing or being a football manager on the pc its fantastic. It really is the universal language. And being in a country where it not a big sport makes you love it even more as you miss so much!

Cricket - one dayers & 20/20 - fast paced, action filled dayand even better if you are there live with beer in hand. Nothing like a day at the cricket

Golf - Not a fantical viewer apart from the majors and ryder cups but enjoy a good go at it myself even though I am cack. But walking round a course on beautiful British day before part-taking in the customary 19th hole is always a joy.

Tennis - Some of the stuff the top guys do is magical and its getting beter as a sport as more and more players become top class and advance the game forward.

Pool - Is it a sport? Yeah and it goes well with a few pints before/during/after soccer saturday (obv. if no Southend game or a away game I cant make)

Women's beach volleyball - no reason needed
The Sports I Hate

Polo - Not a sport. In fact anything with horses (minus actually horse racing). Silly toffs prancing around on their la-de-da's!!

Baseball - A game only the yanks could play. But yet insist on their championship playoffs being called the world series. You are the only country that plays the ****ing sport you unintelligent buffons!!

Wrestling - Not sure if you would class it as a sport but its not entertainment. Its far OTT and cheesy for my liking. And sorry to tell people this but incase you dont know its fake.

Netball - Why? (my missus will kill me for this reason too being ex-england) but why. I go along to support the missus when she plays but I dont get it. No physical contact? I say get the jelly and cream and lets get it on. And the aussies love it too so its always on TV!!

Chess - ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz. I know its a game for intelliects. The high browed. But really. a game that involves taking several minutes to make a move isnt really a sport to me.

You might want to mention that to the Japanese, who won the World Baseball Classic.
