  • United Close Gap!!!!

    Saturday saw Manchester United jump level on points with Chelsea at the top of the Barclays Premiership with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Wigan at Old Trafford. United were hoping Chelsea would stumble somewhere along the line however didn\'t expect them to loose points so quickly. Chelsea travelled to Birmingham on Saturday without Terry, Alex, Essien and Lampard and was not good enough for the Midlands club who won 1-0 for the first time in 30 years over Chelsea.

  • Diamonds Fourth in World Series

    Australia was forced to settle for the disappointing fourth spot at the World Netball Series in Liverpool yesterday, after losing to England and Jamaica in two single point margin thrillers.

  • Lakers shine, as one Billion dollars in the East just may not be enough to stop NBA Three-Peat

    Over the past three years the LA Lakers have stamped their authority on the NBA competition. With Kobe Bryant leading a seemingly second string quartet of veterans and young late round draft picks, the Lakers have executed a formula that works to perfection.

  • NRL Four Nations in Ashes shadow

    Immediately following the NRL Grand Final it seems the collective Australian sporting minds have turned to Australia's up and coming home ashes campaign, forgetting all other major sporting events.

  • Upstream Challenge

    Fancy a Saturday morning walk? What about a 50km walk from the Melbourne waterfront along the Yarra river to finish in the eastern suburbs?

  • Chelsea Slip Up Gives Chasing Pack Hope!!!

    Chelsea's Stamford Bridge is a fortress, however when Sunderland came to London on Sunday afternoon nobody could believe what was about to unfold. Chelsea's home record is impeccable but without household names like Terry, Lampard, Alex and Essien they didn't have the cutting edge and lacked the final pass to break down a stubborn Sunderland defence. Sunderland were brilliant all day and thoroughly deserved their 3-0 victory to give Steve Bruce his first ever win against Chelsea in all his manag

  • Women's sport on television - a second look

    On the 17th March 2010 I wrote an article titled "Women\'s sports on television" and I took the line that in Australia it is surprisingly significant. For years there were complaints that women\'s sports were not televised and or taken seriously, and I explained that such a claim can no longer be legitimately claimed.

  • Ashes Series steeped in history

    Australian's rate the Ashes Series as one of our greatest sporting events on the Calender. As with the Melbourne Cup, Bathurst and the Australian Tennis Open, Australian's flock to the closest TV or Radio for the opening day's play.

  • The Tiger Woods show is in town

    The world\'s most famous sports star, Tiger Woods, has hit his first ball at the Melbourne Pro Am tournament, in preparation for the Masters. And what a difference a year makes! Last year Tiger won the Melbourne tournament. He won many hearts for raising the profile of golf in Australia and for promoting Melbourne. A year on, he is no longer ranked number one in the world and his return to Australia is also a return to the sport after his very public breakup with his wife.

  • Liverpool and Torres take down champions

    Anfield was alive and well on Sunday afternoon as two of England's heavy weights met in a Super Sunday Thriller. Anfield's high volume would have sent a message to other premier league teams as Torres scored a brace to send Chelsea crashing back down to earth. Torres was back to his best as he raced past Terry to score Liverpool's first before finishing sublimely to put Liverpool 2-0 up just before the break. The second half saw Chelsea push hard for way back, however Liverpool's defence held fi
