  1. Video technology in football

    How much longer is it going to be before we finally see some video technology in football? How many more appalling and costly decisions are going to have to be made before the FA and FIFA finally see sense?

    The people in charge argue that it ruins the games tempo and takes away a referees authority. However do some of these referees deserve any authority? This afternoon I have watched the man utd vs villa game and the spurs vs chelsea match, and seen two hugely high profile decisions ...
  2. Cyclists, twitter and Fabrice Muamba

    Just a blog with a few thoughts that I've had over the last week.

    Cyclists

    As spring rapidly approaches, leaves start sprouting on trees, lambs start bouncing around in fields and cyclists return to the roads. Every morning for the last couple of weeks, I have been commuting into Berkhamsted along the bottom road through Bourne End, and every morning without fail I see cyclists.

  5. Optimistic reviews Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

    I have been a big fan of the call of duty series ever since one of my best mates gave me a platinum version of the original Call of Duty for the PC for my birthday. By that point the game had been out probably for some 4 or 5 years, but the story was still absorbing and the online multiplayer fun but challenging. I have played pretty much every instalment of the franchise, and enjoyed them all. Thankfully in my opinion, MW3 looks set to continue the trend.
