Is it just me(with an athletics connection), but the BBC's TV coverage is still awful. Very little focus on the field events, too many pundits chit chatting and too many features instead of live athletics In addition to that I had to turn off when they absolutely tore Katarina Johnson Thompson and...

Just wondering where people stand on the KP situation. I admit that I am a big fan of his. Purely from a sporting perspective, he is box office and clearly still able to produce the goods. I accept that he can be difficult to manage at times. It would be safe to call him a "Maverick" and I am su...

Not a fairytale ending with a winner in his last race, but watching it and the send-off he received made me feel quite emotional. An amazing career, deserved all the applause and good wishes at Sandown today.

I am not a massive golf fan, but when the majors or the Ryder Cup come around, I get interested. Today, everyone's favourite major, The Masters, begins at Augusta National and the Azaleas are in full bloom. So I thought I would start off a thread with a real "feel good" story that has been all o...

Just wanted to say "get well Michael". In all honesty, he was a driver I respected more than liked, but I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Here's hoping he makes a swift and complete recovery.

So.... who else is waiting for this to start? I think the 2010/11 English team was a better one, but this Australian team is definitely worse, too, so it sort of evens out. I think England should win, but who knows with these guys. I'm going for a 3-1 to England.

Bye bye Spain - first major shock in the tournament.

Did any of you just follow that Chicago Blackhawks LA Kings Series? Greatest hockey series I have ever seen and since the Kings won they now play the NY Rangers.....the Kings must be super tired after three seven games series but I still think they will have too much for the NY Rangers. What do you think?...

Very impressed with all features in the Big Bash. High standard, good crowds, excellent tv coverage and the correct format. probably the best 20/20 tournament in the world now As IPL doesn't have the quality, even if it does have the bucks. UK comp has too many teams and not enough structure in terms of...

I'm not sure Howard Foster will be refereeing a high profile match for a while. Froch would have won on points on a split decision though.

Any fans here? Enjoying my usual Saturday night college football feast right now. Was hoping Arizona State would push Stanford hard but very poor one sided game so far...

Salmon · Salmon

Tests could have all been thrillers but for the weather. 2-0 would have depicted the difference between the teams a bit more accurately, I suppose. Looking forward to seeing Dernbach bowl in the limited overs. I saw him the other week and he's different from anyone that I've ever seen play for Engl...

I'm sure many of us are intrigued about how LA will spin his story to the world to his own ends. Clearly his actions over an extended period of time are indefensible on a number of counts. 1. The years of sophisticated blood transfusions and chemical doping, all of which are of course illegal 2. The years...

YES, that's the Ryder Cup won with a tremendous comeback. And I think GB can claim a rather large share in it and it means a great deal to many Brits. And we've hosted and done very well in tremendous Olympics and Paralympics. And Bradley Wiggins became the first Brit to win the Tour de France. And in foot...

Go Europe Congratulations on crushing these Americans 14.5 to 13.5... ....for there is nothing more crushing than giving seemingly defeated opponents an inkling that they might escape only to put the final dagger to the heart. It's the hope that kills you ! Seriously, good to see the fight from...

Only 9 days to go. The game against Aus A tommorow is on Sky, by the way. Some random thoughts that I have in my head right now - 1) This is England's best chance in Australia in the last two decades. Of course Australia are still the favourites given how good they are at home, but I think there's a good ch...

I see Andy has missed out on the 10 person shortlist for this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year ( I believe it is mainly or all newspaper sports editors that do the nominations, I presume 30 in all ) : Tony McCoy 30 nominations Graeme McDowell 29 ( maybe one person is anti-golf ? ) Lee Westwood 27...

I love the NFL and have followed the Oakland Raiders since 1984. My brother and I will be there...sideline tickets....cannot wait. Denver are my teams fiercest rivals....last Sunday we played them for the 100th time in the regular NFL season and this happened. [video=http://www.youtube.com/wa...

Anyone else watching? It's amazing that of the three teams to have toured this year, Bangladesh have looked the best.

Vandenburg · Vandenburg

The debate has been going on since the germany game, and everyone is talking and blaming different people, players manager the media the clubs etc but i think its far simpler, and something we can relate to tennis to. in a recent survey it was revealed that england is the least patriotic nation in europ...
