Advantages: Match winner
Disadvantages: Match lose

We need to talk about Kevin. “When Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept for there were no more worlds to conquer." I have no doubt in my mind that Andrew Strauss was forced out early from the England job he loved by the ECB because he ... Read review

He's got an English mother - end of argument. He should play for England if he wants to. You can play for Ireland at most sports if you've got a great great grandparent (or at a pinch if you've got an Irish wolfhound). We let people with far less 'Englishness' represent us at other sports - I can't see any reason to exclude KP on the basis of growing up in SA. by koshkha

Advantages: Sex it up like tennis girls
Disadvantages: Low standard

The wonderfully named (and cute) ‘Ebony-Jewel Cora-Lee Camellia Rosamond Rainford-Brent’, a fast bowler and England’s first black player, has said the girls should be ‘sexier’ to sell their sport, on and off the field. In the early days of women’s interna ... Read review

Advantages: A global event that lifted an entire nation and brought back its pride & self confidence

The crowds at the Olympics have certainly not been as multicultural as that opening ceremony, very much white, middle-class and corporate, tickets awarded on post code and salary levels by the looks, the velodrome very much in that category. But it has ... Read review

Advantages: Great season ahead

I'm not going to argue with your assessment of City finishing on top, which I think they will be close to, but I think both United and Chelsea have strengthened and City haven't ....Yet. Should be another close season but hopefully not as close as last year !! by supercityfan

I'm not convinced that Chelsea are nailed on for 3rd. Weren't they 6th last year? Title's clearly between the two Manchester clubs, but I think it'll be United. They'll be hungry after last year and seem to have strengthened more than City (even if Tevez is effectively a new signing, same could be said for Vidic). by a-true-ben
