Cricket is a complicated sport.

Hey Sam!

Steven Gerrard and I have a lot in common!
...We do!

Hey Sam

As football fans , many of us dream of being footballers like Pele and Maradona (the legends), thats okay, but I think its time we learn a few lessons from those little kids on the street in India , with their goalposts made of sticks and bricks and their old white shirts with 'Beckham' written on it with Felt Tip Pens.

thanks for reading & hope you feel the same way about football as I do

Hey Sam!

What does it take to become a Saint?

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/79415-liam-harker-three-miracles-up-is-he-our-saint

It may not be great, but for some reason I'm mighty proud of this. I've poured my heart out, and no matter the criticism, this article will stay close to me.
Thanks for reading.

The Underestimated Importance of Football Agents

For some the roles of agents keep football the billion pound industry it is across the world today.

For others agents are unnecessary commodities that suck millions of pounds out of the game each year at the expense of the sport. Which Side do you sit on?

Be sure to leave your opinion Sam!

Hey Sam
I know I have always stood firmly in my belief that Cristiano is highly over rated, and very immature. Recently , I've seen alot of change in him.
Here's an attempt at convincing MYSELF, that he's not such a bad person after all...
The more he matures , the less I will hate him...
So here's a peace offering for the last four years , for all the mean things I've said about him, I might still not like him a lot, but I hate him much less after writing this article

Howzit Sam.

Champs, or "Scott's Spot" as it is called now, is quite respectible! Noconnection with the old establishment, although I havnt been there on a night out yet.

Taphuis was great. My diggs last year was literallt 50m around the corner, so it was a bit of a local for me and my diggsmates. Always went there to watch champs league when were were too lazy to walk in to town. Lockdowns were EPIC!!!! man ima miss that.

I knew guillym theron, Brynn, Kyle, Ryan (prawn) and that lot... first years in 2005. when were you there/leave?

keen to check out grandslam. gonna have to convince mates to take me when im there.
