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

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?

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?
