Gareth Thomas is gay.

Fair enough

But why the three-year wait between telling teammates, then the world?

Tiger Woods Wins 2009 PGA Tour Player Of The Year......

....as voted on by PGA Tour players. It was the 10th time in the 13 years that Tiger has played on the PGA Tour that he has won the Award.

As a side note, the 2009 PGA Tour season BEGAN with the question of WHEN Tiger Woods would return to playing, and the 2009 PGA Tour ENDED with the same question being asked.

Noteworthy this week was John Daly's observation (based on his own experience with "Bad Personal Issues") that the best thing that Tiger Woods could do right now is to return to playing competitive golf on the PGA Tour and to seek out his friends and family (especially his mother) for support. I agree with Daly's advice.

ExeterCity 1, Southend 0 --- Ending Exeter's 4 Match Losing Streak

It's Saturday morning in L.A., and the first thing I do at the computer on Saturday is go to see how Excretia City did in their match across the Pond --- this Saturday it was at home to Southend.
Hooray, Excretia City wins it 1-0 with a goal by Stansfield from outside the box to the left at 17 minutes, as the only goal of the match holds up for the win.
Apparently the match got nasty in the Second Half as Corr (Excretia City) and Jabo whatshisname (Southend) get RED CARDS for bad fouls, and another Southend player gets a Yellow for a bad foul in desperation at 90 minutes.
So the result was surprising as Excretia City ends its 4 match losing streak (and ends its 3 match scoreless streak) with the much-needed win by giving it to Southend up the Rearend.

Chin

At last - a genuine born and bred Pom who can actually play cricket.

Win, lose or draw, Chin deserves man of the match honours with a 5 wicket haul and 85 runs to make the match competitive.

That is all....

Good players who fans don't warm to that much

Koppites always preferred Fowler to Owen (presumably because he was more like them) and I always got the impression that the Mancs weren't actually that arsed to seeBbeckham or even Ronaldo leave (although Robbo or Jesper might put me right on that one); are there any more?

Landycakes and toffees..........

So it seems that the smelLa galaxy and everton have come to terms on a 10 weeek loan for yankee superstar landon donovan.

On paper the loan looks to be a good fit for both. The toffees have a bunch of games coming up, in tournaments (fa/europa) and against quality league opponents. Combine the heavy schedule with the fact everton is quite thin on players due to injury, donovan should get plenty of playing time.

So lets go landon, time to prove the doubters wrong who say you cant hack it in europe, and save everton from the being sent down, while picking up a few trophys on the way.

Announcement....

14-0

. . . as the Colts win a game apparently played without any defense. (Neither team punted until the fourth quarter.)

Still--we aren't "resting our starters"! At least not on offense!

14-0! [does happy dance]
