You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.

To apportion your own views on Miss Chamberlin is far from just. Regardless of her breasts, I have already written my letter of complaint on the grounds of misogeny to the Daily Mail, I’m pretty sure she did just want to watch a game of football. She supports Torquay! That means she actually likes football, however loosely that term can be applied to League 2.

Soap Operas are everything football is not. Formulaic, mawkish and boring. Just because young John decided to plough his mates bit of fluff does not change this.

I think what I’m trying to say is, bring back Thomas and his homoerotic fixation with Beckham.

I think someone shoved a mic under the nose of N-Dubz as they left the Brixton Achedemy on Sunday night and Tulisa gave the ‘handshake that wasn’t’ it’s ‘street’ name.
‘The Mini Throng in the Lily Pond’ is something different again it can be viewed at- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELzjQ8F_2gE&NR=1

Sorry, you’ve lost me.

I enjoyed reading it, although I am not sure if Graeme Swann is really the best spinner in the world. He is very good though!

Stop trying to teach me things and start inserting more bum jokes. That’s how you sustain readership!

My next post will be ‘How to write an post that instantly alieantes both cricket and baseball fans’.

A cricket post disguised with a thin veneer of baseball pictures. You don’t fool me A-Rod James. Good post though, still don’t think I’ll be watching when you get games where a team won’t hit a ball for the entire game. Big fan of everyone taking steroids in the sport though, as usual everyone wants to be Big Ron.

“In baseball, as in cricket, even when not much appears to be happening, it nearly is, or is just about to.”

My existence, although bleak and futile, is far too short to be dealing with entertainment that can be described with the line above. Slamball, now there’s a sport.
