Mmm

One wonders how he went from Bambi to Bliar to Bomber in the space of 10 years. Listening to his farewell speech last week, what struck me was how earnest and sincere he sounded (nothing changed there then!) despite the delusional aspect of some of what he was saying. The salient point of his speech was when he said that "....10 years is long enough for me and for the country." However, as he had taken spin to a new art form, it is worth noting that he went before he was pushed.

El Pirata continues to go from strength to strength as he notched up his 77 consecutive victory on the "dirt" by doing a threepeat at the Rome Masters. The Swiss Maestro on the other hand is going through something of a turbulent patch after losing in Rome (his 4th defeat of the year and he only lost 5 times the whole of last year) and he has now parted ways with his coach.

Lewis Hamilton is leading the F1 drivers' championship after coming second in Barcelona and setting a host of records along the way (youngest driver to lead the championship, the first driver to finish on the podium in 4 consecutive races). He's keeping his feet firmly on the ground and no doubt continues to frighten his father as he notches up feat after impressive feat.

Tiger Woods is nothing if not consistent, continue to toil at the Players Championship which at least gave Lefty a chance to shine.

Congrats to DD for staying on his feet and becoming the Premiership's top scorer in the process. It would be fitting if he could fire Chelski to victory next Saturday and thereby hand Mourinho the only trophy he is yet to win.

La Liga is set for an exciting conclusion as bitter rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona amassed the same number of points with 4 games of the season remaining. I would like the white shirts to win it so David Beckham will win something in his final season in Spain. A la Madrid!!

Over and out for this week.
