Friday is the last day for entries into the Download Lowdown Presenter competition. As I think its unlikely any new gems will be added over the last couple of days (based on the logic that anything good will be well planned, and will have already been entered) I thought I’d write about my favourites.
Download / Kerrang are going to be making a shortlist of their top 5, who will be invited to London for an interview, the best interviewee will be given the job. So, here’s my top 5… in order of preference.
This picture on the BBC website had me wondering what the hell Batman was doing fraternising with the enemy! For those not in the know thats Ribery and Demichelis of Bayern Munich.
It is important to remember that I love Cricket, which is one of the reasons I started CricHatter and why I will be doing something cricket related most days during the summer.
Therefore on a dull, rainy afternoon I thought I’d put together a montage…
The other great thing about Cricket is playing Smacky Chest (yes Carl has a potty mouth so apologies for the language):
This is funny, partly because I know how much certain people hate James Corden, and partly because it is always good to see celebs taken down a peg.
Part of the Sports Relief show on Saturday night was a sketch done by James Corden, where he is pretending to be “Smithy”, who receives the Coach of the Year Award at Sports Personality. This then turns into a rant at the nations best athletes, well mainly rant, except for the flirting with Victoria Pendleton.
Some of them took it a lot better than others, Dame Kelly Holmes and Paula Radcliffe looked like they were going to cry / kill him. Freddie (I mean Andrew, but who cares?) Flintoff had a similar reaction, but from the work they have been doing together recently on Sky One he is either in on the gag and knew it was coming, or can’t have minded that much.
You may have noticed that my Twitter bio changed, to include a couple of other sites I am now either running or involved with.
Today I wanted to talk a little more about CricHatter.com. A new Cricket (obviously) related site which I have recently set up.
What is it?
A site with Cricket news, editorials on the sport, individual teams or even a single player.
Why?
I love Cricket? There aren’t many sites doing a similar thing? It’s therapeutic? Take your pick…
Where is it going?
I hope to turn it into an advice platform for anyone who wants information about Cricket related matters. Ranging from tips on skills, technique or the game, to advice on equipment, clubs and tours.
Most recently I have been writing about my decision to buy a new Bat this season, there was The Decision… and The Purchase…
In a surprise move so late in the season, the Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has announced that Manuel Pellegrini has been sacked as the manager of Real Madrid with immediate affect. He will be replaced by the more experienced Colin Mercer.
In an announcement made at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu earlier Señor Perez blamed Pellegrini for Real’s current league position and lack of success in cup competitions, stating:
“…a change of personnel is required if we are going to turn this season around…”
Mercer has had successful Football Manager campaigns at Liverpool, Monaco and Barcelona to mention just a few, most recently taking Liverpool to the Premier League title and Champions League final in his 2nd season in charge.
It is rumoured that he will look to bring players from his previous clubs like Torres, Gerrard and Messi to the Bernabéu.
