RIP the 96

Sheddie · Sheddie

Which teams do you support ? I'm a supporter of Manchester United and Stevenage Borough. Big Clash for Man U tomorrow against Liverpool, really need to win otherwise the League Cup's going to be the pinnacle of our ambitions this season.

I see Chris Froome has won todays time trial and looks certain to win the Vuelta now - amazing job to win both this and the TdF in one year, a bit like winning Wimbledon and the US Open in the same season (if the Giro is the French...not sure what the Aus Open equivalent is, maybe the World Championships). On...

I have only just taken time to read more about the tragic story of Ellie, our snowboarding young talent who took her own life on her 18th birthday. Such a sad story and someone who will clearly be tragically missed. As a Dad of a 20 year old boy and 16 year old girl, I can really feel the pain of those who loved...

Well, worth seeing what us tennis fans know about football. As an aside, Gareth Southgate owns a house nearby to where I live in Harrogate - a massive manor house near to Fewston Reservoir. I have seen him in two restuarants locally, the Italian Connection on Cold Bath Road , and Al Bivio on Hornbeam Pa...

I am not sure how many people follow cycling and some may have strong views on Chris Froome and Team Sky, but just to say Chris Froome has just put in one of the all time great cycling stage wins, riding solo for 80km to win the stage, turnover a 3 minutes plus time deficit and move into the leaders Pink jerse...

Being frank I haven't been and never really am turned on by thes games - I don't find the events meaningful and can't get interested. However - shout out to the England netball team. Those two wins in the last second v Australia and Jamaica were pure drama and given the top teams in the world were at the g...

Is Team Sky's reputation now completely shot? Are Wiggins and Froome exposed as frauds? And how can Dave Brailsford have any credibility left, let alone a job? Discuss...or I might be wrong

Anyone see the snowboard slopeski yesterday. Apparently the BBC had over 300 complaints about the commentators. I though the commentary was hilarious, not quite what the BBC were known for. The best bit was when the Austrian girl fell of the top and tried to get back up the ledge(tried being the ope...

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Armfield, but remember with thankfulness, a life well lived. A peerless gentleman; a great servant to his sport, his country, and his beloved Blackpool; a thoughtful, humble, modest and balanced broadcaster in the mould of Dan Maskell. We will not see hi...

Couple of things - shout out to James Willstrop (who lives in Harrogate where I am based) who has reached the semis of the above event. It is a big event and James has dragged his ranking back into the top 20 and looks like going higher and maybe top 10, which at the age of 35 is pretty impressive. Well done Ja...

What a poor selection of athletes this year, there must be better candidates - lots of sports with very low profiles and little mainstream TV coverage Elise Christie - short track speed skating; Sir Mo Farah - athletics, Chris Froome - cycling, Lewis Hamilton - F1, Anthony Joshua - boxing, Harry Kane...

Thought I'd add this, semi relevant since we talk about Collegiate tennis on this forum. This article shows the environment College athletes can find sadly themselves experiencing, at the hands of coaches who don't care about the welfare of the athletes. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/featur...

Having vented my spleen against Dan Evans for terninal stupidity I feel it only fair to highlight Scott Baldwin for idiot of the week https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWx1Vo5k5H4
