Tottenham Hotspur
By Dan S
What a sigh of relief is heard today from long-suffering Spurs
fans from all over the World.
And when the jubilation of their Champions League entry subsides, I think all impartial fans will agree that they have fully deserved their 4th place finish, or could it even be a 3rd place finish. I say this because, save for a few days with teams playing at different times, they have been in the Top 4 for the whole season.
Also, and whilst almost all teams can say, "If only", Spurs have a reasonable case to claim they let themselves down. With all due respect, they should have expected maximum points from Sunderland, Wolves and others, which would have at the very least, guaranteed Champions League inclusion weeks ago and even a concerted run at the title.
Maybe Berbatov will return to where he is cherished, now top flight football is guaranteed?

FA Cup Semis- Wembley
By Dan S
What a disgrace. One of the World's most famous sports stadiums;
certainly the most expensive and supposed to be one of our national
showcase events - the FA Cup semi-finals, and the pitch is a
disgrace. Can't the Football Association ever get anything right?

John Terry
By Dan S
Please forgive the conceit but I told a friend of mine, an ardent
Chelsea supporter, that John Terry was a time-bomb waiting to
explode and that I predicted it would happen at White Hart Lane at
the weekend.
Why is he so overrated? No pace to speak of and no skill. Certainly no Alan Hansen or Ledley King. Why do we put so much emphasis on the British Bulldog spirit. I value brain over brawn every time. England Captain - what were they thinking?

Masters 2010
By Dan S
Congratulations to Phil Mickelson on a wonderful Masters
win.
Did anyone notice the irony of Phil being greeted by his family as he departed the 18th green as the winner, whilst Tiger went home alone; his tail between his legs?
That said, make no mistake, Tiger will be back with a vengeance and assuming he regains his putting touch, will surely strive for his golfing holy grail - beating Jack's record of 18 Major victories.
A great performance by Lee Westwood in another Major, but I respectfully say to Lee there are rare moments in sporting lives where you have to 'go for it' and take a calculated risk. Just making sure you don't make a mistake is rarely good enough to win, given the competition he competes against. Like London buses, once one comes along, surely several will follow
