His assistants are...

    Seeing as its been a while since I did these and, for a change, I'm not doing the slightly arduous 2 hour journey home, I thought I might put up my thoughts on today's game. All in all, we weren't really that bad overall. Oldham succeeded where many other clubs have failed in the past and...

    As i've been out of the country for a few days, I come back to find that Kallis has been ommited from South Africa's Twenty20 tournament. He is one of their best players and one of my favourites, and I just dont understand why they've done it. Does anyone know or heard why SA have done this...

    Swimming Pool signs

    Is it me or is exactly the same 'no running/bombing/petting' sign displayed in every pool in the UK? Every bloke looks like Sid the sexist and it hasn't been updated for a good twenty five years.
