    30 Days: Morgan Spurlock

    I thought it was weird that there was something thought provoking and challenging on Channel 10. It would be a very interesting idea to put this episode in particular and "The OC" on back to back.

    BOS English Premier League Fantasy Soccer/Football League

    Was a side effect of the new bonus point procedure that it would take ages to do? Seeing as there have been no bonus points awarded yet, and I have Gerrard in one team and Bent in another, I think I'm in line for some.

    There is a perfectly irrational reason why my dislike of Aresnal rises above that of Chelsea and Manchester United. Basically, it's because I'm English. I hated Chelsea back in their Vialli days when they would have one token Englishman on the bench, and now that crown has been passed on to the...

    And HeCtic, when you say my team, do you mean Sheffield United? How were they in anyway involved in the community shield? I like to see Aresnal getting beaten, I love seeing Man U getting beaten, and I like seeing Chelsea getting beaten, but thats my order of priority. I'd actually cheer for Man...

    Seeing Aresnal get beat was so good. Worth staying up and probably stuffing up my Extension English trial for. I was so nervous when Drogba almost fucked that second goal up. A top performance by Chelsea, but they didn't give away too much about their first team, especially the mid-field. Must...

    *Cough* FA Cup final *Cough* *Cough* 1-0 loss to West Brom with 30 shots on target *Cough* I agree that Man U don't need any more than there $100 million strike force, but it didn't really work for them last season did it?

    I think they need bolstering in all areas of the field. I've said it before and I'll say it again- this time last year, Moyes was odds on favourite (you actually can bet on this) to be the first manager sacked in the 04/05 season. It was a freak year for them, and I think they'll be stuggling to...

    The Ashes

    I heard he won't be back until the fourth, as the third starts next thursday- 2 days after this one finishes (if England can last a full 5 days this time)

    The Ashes

    Maybe not useless, but if you are good enough to get to 112-0, you should not be 190-4, or whatever they are now. Vaughn again, really not performing as he should be. I wouldn't have minded if he'd got out to a good ball, but playing such an awful shot, it was not a captains shot to play- even...

    The Ashes

    God England are useless. I'd finally dared get my hopes up of a score 350+ Now I'm almost waiting for the next one to fall. Why do we still pick Bell? Why do we still pick Giles? Bring in Collingwood!

    Tri Nations

    After what the All Blacks did to the Lions (who played shit anyway, but still) I can't see them losing a game. Carter is the best player in the world by a long shot, and when they're 4th pick winger is someone like Rockococo, you know you've got some scoring potential. They've got a solid...

    If they do manage to sign Viera then they might do a bit better. Can't see it happening though, they'll stick with Lehmann.

    Haha, nope. Neil Warnock is our coach. We were going strong until mid last season when we dropped away. Still manage to thump Leeds (local derby) 4-0 at Elland Road though. That was a sweet victory I can tell you that. Almost made up for not even making the play offs. Haidong is still in the...

    As far as the Arsenal-young talent is concerned, I think Van Persie and Fabregas will be an excellent pair of players, they showed serious promise in the back end of last season. But at the moment, I don't think they can compare with the exceptional talent plus the experience of Terry and...
