Hope Springs Eternal

HOPE POWELL didn’t surprise many with the Team GB Ladies football squad that she announced at Wembley stadium, on June 26.

The squad of 18 featured only two non-English players in Scottish internationals, Kim Little and Ifeoma Dieke. While Scot Jane Ross, and Emma Higgins from Northern Ireland, are among the four reserves.

Fulham Finally Fulfilling Their Potential...

While some London clubs have been having their annual drama; no names, Chelsea!  Fulham, and more importantly, Martin Jol have been going about their business. 

The manager has been quietly making plans and trying to change the mentality of a club that has under-achieved throughout it’s time in the Premier League.  I have a sneaky suspicion that next season; they could well be the ones to watch or the semi-surprise package if you will.

Just desserts!

We all know, I've been pretty vocal about my feelings towards Carlos Tevez on the pages of this blog.  And even though he is wearing the blue shirt of Manchester City again after his self-imposed exile, I still don't have much time for the stocky Argentinian.

I agree that on his day and when he's about eight pounds lighter, he can be the most influential player on the football pitch and the star of the team.  But I still have a bad taste in my mouth regarding his actions over the past year.
