We're just not interested in football really Jun 19 2008

XXL shell suits probably put a dent in any notion we were a sporting nation and I am coming to the conclusion we are not really that interested in football either.Read

ONE of our readers was complaining his £522 Blues' season ticket only saved him £12 on match ticket prices.Read

Johnson right to get the needle over drug cheats Jun 05 2008

WHEN someone like Michael Johnson returns his Olympic medal as tainted then something truly is rotten with athletics.Read

When I were a lad...... May 27 2008

WHEN I was a kid - yes I can remember that far back - there were proper sporting seasons.Read

Big four should clear off and join their Euro pals May 15 2008

I HAVE some sympathy with Kevin Keegan's view that the Premiership is boring. Read

Time for us to invest in the future rather than just buy May 12 2008

WE might still have play-offs but for the most part domestic football goes on its hols next week. Our footballers can have a well deserved break without the inconvenience of Euro2008 and, sadly, we could well be in the same situation come the next World CupRead

It shouldn't cost millions to respect the ref' Apr 23 2008

HOW is it that these days if someone in some sort of authority comes up with an idea, initiative, action plan, mission statement or whatever the day’s in-vogue buzz word happens to be, a multi-million pound budget is chucked in the pot?Read

Castleford guilty of handling error over Dwain trial Apr 03 2008

CASTLEFORD Tigers tell us signing Dwaine Chambers on trial is not a publicity stunt - oh, and just so you know, the Pope is not a Catholic.Read

Thanks, David, but there's fit - and there's fit Mar 27 2008

DAVID Beckham deserved his 100th cap and our thanks. I suspect he would still have turned up match after match to wear the three lions had he been unpaid, and paying subs.Read

FA's grassroots plan in danger of becoming a croc Mar 13 2008

CATCH a crocodile by the tail and its head will take your arms off, catch it by the head and its tail will break your legs, catch head and tail together and millions of years of evolution grind to a halt and it plays dead - so I am told.Read

Sepp'-togenarian Blatter is living in cloud cuckoo land Mar 06 2008
