The news is out but it’s not really news.
Nathan Fien won’t be getting a contract next year and frankly it’s no surprise.
Sure, he’s a bit of a fan favourite, desperately wants to stay, and is the imcumbent Kiwi whatever number Benji doesn’t want to play in the halves.
A pity he still can’t kick for shit.
Now [...]

We’ve been tracking the relegation battle for the EPL and not surprisingly it’s come down to the final round of matches.
WBA are goneburger and four teams are left battling for two places next year.
Boro only managed a point home to Villa and need a win PLUS Newcastle losing PLUS Hull losing AND the combined goal [...]

I accept that I struggle to take myself seriously some of the time.
Blogging is not something that should be taken too seriously.
It does allow me to get away with using words like pissheads, fuckwits, and cheating Aussies. Often all at once too!
However, from time to time issues come up that need to be taken seriously [...]

Just in case someone is actually wondering what happened next after reading posts earlier this week:
Newcastle Beat Middlesborough 3-1
In a game that had massive connotations on the relegation battle, Newcastle beat Boro 3-1 and in doing so moved up to 34 points – the same as Hull City.
With two games left in the season, Hull [...]

While most involved in NZ racing look across the ditch with a fair degree of the Big Green Monster, it’s not all rosy with Oz racing.
The big issue is around the future of jumps racing.
It’s become a major issue with the number of horse deaths in Victoria – 12 last season, and three in the [...]

It looks like Blackburn under our own Captain Ryan will be around next season.
I’ve got to admit that while I’ve never really paid too much attention to the EPL, the sheer drama of the relegation death match is something to really appreciate.
While a lot of the media’s attention is focus on the top of the [...]

First, I’m over the Kiwis match at the weekend.
Almost.
I will make sure that I won’t refer in any way to those cheating Aussies (who actually have a bit of skill and pace, let me give you the tip).
Anyway, this isn’t about league although it involves a couple of NZ’s best-known leaguies – Tana and $BW.
We’ve [...]

One of my KPI’s is to be number one of Google for cheating Aussies.
With what has happened over the last 24 hours, it’s not going to be that difficult to find content although I suspect I’ll have plenty of competition.
The decision is both unfathomable yet still perfectly understandable.
Mind you, it’s not entirely fair to brand [...]

A few words on Issac Luke’s suspension.
Unbelievable.
Understandable given we’re dealing with a bunch of cheating Aussies who’ve devolved from convict stoock.
Underbelly. The land of Underbelly. (Let’s conveniently forget that Underbelly II is about a bunch of Kiwi druggies but given the complete lack of any moral authority in Australia, we can get away with it).
Understrength. [...]

There have been some dire things in rugby of the past few years – the Highlanders for a start – but the dicking around with the AB’s jersey has been the pinnacle of bullshit in action.
We’ve had the collars off and the slippery material – you name it they’ve tried it. adidas have to make [...]
