Mixed bag

A couple of bad 'uns and one good 'un this weekend. Of course England lost the first game in the Ashes v Australia, but that result was never in doubt, especially as the way we started. Aus scored 804 runs losing 10 wickets in the match, we scored 527 losing 20 wickets. Doesn't take a genius to work out that there is a bit of a gulf there.

The rugby was a joke (again). We managed to get 14-3 up against the Springboks and were looking pretty comfortable. Then we fell apart and lost 14-25 and failed to score for the last 50 minutes of the match . The decision making in the second half was appalling. Unfortunately Andy Robinson still hasn't resigned. He'll get the sack early this week I would imagine, it's just a pity that he's taken us backwards for 3 years and nothing has been done about it. There is talk that the RFU are going to offer Martin Johnson the position, but unlikely that he will take it. Nick Mallett's name's been banded around as well. Sweet Jesus.

One break in the clouds was Coventry's 1-0 drubbing of QPR. The match reports are a little bit thin of any real sport reporting mind. Coventry's team bus never showed up at the hotel so the poor cherubs had to take the Underground to Loftus Road. I've done that journey myself and I hope they had better luck of finding the ground than I did. SO lots of jokes about it in the press, witty chirps from Adams etc. Anyway, sounded like a decent game and Adebola's goal was a gem. 2 wins in a row for the City and starting to creep back up the table. Of course it will all go tits up tomorrow night against Preston.
