  1. Flying from Istanbul

    I think I'll give it a miss, if the security services in the airport can't spot a kid in some hand luggage..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-35770021

    Liverpool Are Doomed - With Or Without Rafa

    Rafa Benitez deserves to be sacked. He’s had six years, hundreds of millions of pounds and Liverpool are worse off now than they were under Gerard Houllier. But if George Gillett and Tom Hicks think that his demise will make any difference to their stricken football club, they are very much...

    Top 10 games this season

    I thought Liverpool v Arsenal was more thrilling than the Chelsea v Liverpool game and would have like to have seen a certain Chelsea 1-1 Southend in there too... I shall dream on

    Liverpool Get Their Soul Back

    Never mind about the title, relish the fact that Liverpool have got their soul back. Competitions can come and go, but the spiritual identity of a football club is a rather more permanent prize. On Tuesday night at Anfield, Liverpool probably lost their grip on the title race, dropping two...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    Gerrard & Co Give Scolari The Blues

    Apologies for the lateness of this, chaps. Should have been up straight after full-time. They may have come back from the dead against Manchester United in September and they might have turned the game around against Arsenal in Easter, but of all the teams to end their 86 game unbeaten home...

    Young Guns Hit Five

    There is a swagger about Arsenal in Europe this year. Since the inception of the Champions League, the Gunners have struggled to take their domestic form with them when they go to the airport, reaching the final just once and crashing out early every other year. In that same time Manchester...
  8. The Shrimp Toothbrush

    Today Mr Jonny O's selection hits the wheels of steel, WITH a couple of bonus tracks as they have cracking videos from the house of Tiny Toons. So we have a trio of They Might Be Giants choons, all crackers from this sadly underrated quirky American band. Birdhouse in your Soul Istanbul (not...
  9. Leeds in the home end ....

    The goal sparked disturbances in the crowd as police moved to break up confrontations between home and visiting fans at the Oak Road end of the ground before stewards removed a number of Leeds supporters from the Kenilworth Road end of the stadium. The drama on the pitch failed to match that...
  10. Mr Wooly

    Nail your predictions here as to how many times...

    ...the word 'Istanbul' will be said during the CL final tonight. Note: If watching on ITV, expect it to be considerably higher than Sky; especially if David Pleat gets the gig. I'm going for 11.
  11. Champions League Final!

    Spirit of Istanbul? or boring stalemate???? I've put on a couple of cheeky bets... who else has? Gerrard Score First 1-1 @ 55/1 Pirlo to Score and Milan win @ 10/1 Crouch to Score in both halves @ 33/1 terrible odds but thats bluesq for you!

    Sporting Occasions...

    It's Friday, so I'm being all whimsical and wondering... what are the sporting occasions that you would most like to see and attend around the world - or, even better, that you have seen? Here's my list (in no particular order): *Boxing Day Test, MCG (esp. Ashes) *Test at Kingston...
