Oh, and thanks!

We’ve been online now for a month, and it’s been great up to now. I’m so glad that I finally got this blog under way. I’d say the highlight so far has been seeing the amount of “Jelena Jankovic Porn” searches leading to this very blog — they should re-christen her Jelena Wankovic. I would [...]

D-DAY FOR TRANSFERS: LIVE!!!

THE LATEST NEWS ON THIS, THE FINAL DAY OF THE WINTER TRANSFER WINDOW, IS THAT NOTHING HAS YET HAPPENED FOR PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS.
AND ANTHONY ELDING STILL REMAINS AT STOCKPORT.
STAY TUNED FOR ANY RAPID DEVELOPMENTS ON THIS CRUCIAL DAY.
STOP PRESS! I OBVIOUSLY MISSED JAMIE’S IMMENSELY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RIQUELME! FAST PACED IS THE 31ST!
And, it’s [...]

Tough decision

It seems likely that Dundee United skipper Barry Robson is going to be on the move today. United have confirmed that they have accepted £1 million-plus bids from Celtic and Nottingham Forest. That’s SPL champions, and champions league knockout stage qualifiers, Celtic. And League One play-off prospects Nottingham Forest.
So now Robson just has to choose where [...]

In a nutshell

Here it is – the nutterdom of transfer deadline day summed up to perfection. Taken from the BBC’s transfer deadline day live text commentary :
“Juan Roman Riquelme has just arrived at John Lennon airport to be met by Everton chief exec Keith Wyness.”
Expect more like this over the coming hours.

Coming up: DRAMA

On a football related note, The Sight is in End will try and bring you THE SAGAS, THE DRAMAS AND THE EXCITEMENT OF… *ahem* the closing of the English transfer window from tomorrow afternoon. I’m sure everyone is eager to hear whether Hartlepool will up their offer for Stockport County’s Anthony Elding.

Gilchrist, a sentimental Ponting, and a sobering realisation

If you didn’t already know, Adam Gilchrist has retired from international cricket. As an England fan, I should feel glad that someone who fired the second fastest century in Adelaide in the 2006 Ashes that led to the embarrassment of a 5-0 whitewash, and delivered an Ashes debut to savour with the bat at Edgbaston [...]

I-gone? Icon Magazine in trouble – and I’m rather glad

According to Media Guardian, Icon Magazine, the up-market lifestyle magazine that you have to be invited to read, was originally aimed at Premier League footballers but then widened to include millionaire sporting personalities and first class airport lounges, is in trouble.

A joint venture of arguably the first couple that fused football and pop music in [...]

A Substitute For Class

The reason that Justine Henin is able to dominate the rankings in women’s tennis is that she’s just the best player in the world. Simple as that. She has more strengths and less weaknesses than any other player, allowing her to play with greater variety, and thus she is better equipped to deal with more [...]

Munich memorial: Parker and his possible darker motive

With the Munich Memorial / Manchester Derby coming closer, there is a sense of unease in Manchester.

MPs, including the Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe and the MP for Manchester Withington John Leech, are calling for caution when the match occurs on the 10th February.
However, it is the role of the Official Man City Supporters’ Association Kevin [...]

Award Nomination

In the first, and almost certainly last, of a new series, I would like to make a nomination for the award of stupidest booking of the season.

My nomination goes to Julian Bennett of Nottingham Forest.

During his side’s 2-1 defeat at Swindon yesterday, Bennett received a yellow card for inciting the opposition fans, a punishment given [...]
