This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime.
BBC SPORT | Football | Premier League | Middlesbrough 2-1 Tottenham
As Gus Poyet said it’s all very well having a great pre-season but that counts for nothing in the Premier League. If the club really has aspirations for the Champions League then we must go to places like Middlesborough and win. Possession is all well and good. You must create chances and then take them.
Let’s hope it’s not another season of frustration. And at the moment it is hope rather than belief.
Football: Berbatov on the brink of £28m transfer from Spurs to United | Football | The Guardian
I suppose if you are going to lose one of your best players you might as well get a good price for him. £28m though is a lot of money. Berbatov is a great player but a £28m great player ? I don’t think so. What would Pele have been worth ? £280m is my guess.
I played golf yesterday in our swindle and did play very well off of 7 handicap. I had 36 points after sixteen holes and was level par for the previous thirteen holes. The group behind caught up with us just after I’d smashed another drive down the centre of the fairway. They asked how we were all getting on and instead of being modest as I usually am and just saying I was doing OK, I could not wait to blurt out my score and show off.
I then went one point then no score for the last two holes. I broke the golden rule of not believing your own legend and paid the price. Still won the money though.

As someone who can barely do the breast stroke, watching these chaps is incredible. It just doesn’t look humanely possible to swim this fast.
