AND MANCHESTER UNITED WINS HER 19TH PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE

                                                

The inevitable just happened or is about to, the fear of every Kop fan worldwide is about to be confirmed, a task they felt no team could achieve, is just being rubbished by a team known as The Red Devils. In the early days of English football, they was only one force to reckon with and that force was Liverpool Football Club, a club almost unbeatable amassing several titles including an incredible 18 league titles, but with over 2 decades gone and changes occurring and the eventual renaming   of the English premier league into Barclays Premier League, Liverpool FC has not remained the same, in real sense they haven’t won any league title, and as always when a vacuum is created there must be something or someone waiting to fill it up

It's Hell Without the NHL

No one but a Winnipegger can understand the psychological effect of the Jets, our short-lived NHL team, who were relocated to greener pastures in Phoenix in 1996, when I was but twelve years old.

Snooker: 147s through the decades

Today sees the final of the World Championship, snooker's leading tournament contested by the very best of the best (and the odd qualifier). The longest single competitive match in the whole of snooker, it is the ultimate test of a player's ability, taking place over two days and 35 frames. Newcomer Judd Trump, the second youngest player to reach the final, will face off against World Number 2 John Higgins for the honour of a place in history alongside the all-time greats of the sport.

The 2011 championship has been an exciting tournament, but one thing is quite notable in its absence. The 147 break represents the greatest score one can legitimately achieve in a single frame, officially achieved 77 times in almost thirty years and only ten times in World Championship snooker (one of which, Robert Milkins' in 2006, was made in the qualifying stages). We have yet to see one at Sheffield in 2011, but there is still time for Trump or Higgins to follow in the footsteps of those detailed in the remainder of this post.

Has Professionalism Ruined AFL?

As a Melbournian I’ve been a fan of Aussie Rules Football for as long as I can remember. My allegiance to the game has been tested over the years, in part, because of my undying support for the Richmond Tigers who haven’t won a Premiership in over 30 years.
