Weekend Wrap

For those who like reading the weekend wrap here it is again.  There was quite a lot of sport over the weekend and with that there is always talking points, be they positive or not.

Great shot of Suarez heading the winner

Suarez Fires For Liverpool

I was very glad that I stayed up to watch this game.  Suarez was a man on a mission and deserved the goal to give Liverpool a 1-0 victory at Anfield.  His skills on the field are a treat to watch and was unlucky not to score more.  Also of note was an unlucky Maxi Rodriguez who on another day could have easily walked off a hat-trick hero.  The game was of frantic pace for much of the game and Liverpool looked much more determined to ensure victory.  With Carroll being kept on the bench and not getting on at all, it will be interesting to see if on his return Liverpool don;t go back to form of old. If Liverpool can keep up this standard of performance and Suarez continues on with this form they should start making progress on those above them on the table.

I should also note it is now at least eight weeks since the allegations of racism were made against Saurez by Patrice Evra and yet nothing has been done.  Surely if this allegation was serious it would have been at least heard at some level by now.  The FA is starting to look very ordinary indeed in this matter.  Maybe the season will be over before we hear any more on this issue.

Ever seen a more depressed looking batsmen?

Australian Top Order Not Top Class

Just when you think Australia are starting to find some sort of Test cricket form in come the batsmen to change your thinking.  I have written plenty on my thoughts about the batsmen in this team but I will once again state that Phil Hughes must surely be dropped after this test match.  Even if he goes on to get a score in the second innings it is too late.  Especially when early in the second innings he edges one down the legside only for the umpire to say not out and the foolish Kiwis not referring the decision.  Mu money is on Hughes getting around about fifty runs, Clarke saying he still wants him in the team for the Boxing day test, and then the Indians showing why he should have been dropped.

Kookaburras Win Fourth Consecutive Champions Trophy

Hockey does not get enough coverage from my point of view.  And when you have a team as good as the kookaburras it is a shame.  Although I didn't see the game it is worth reporting that they beat Spain in a close 1-0 victory in a game that had a few moments where Spain were more worried about complaining then playing the game.  

How Stupid Are Sportsmen

For my last article I have to make a comment about one of the biggest idiots in sport.  Golden State Warriors guard, Charlie Webb, turned up to a hearing for his drink driving case drunk. How clueless was this guy? Looks like making the big money of the NBA does not require an IQ.  Either way he will go down as one of the stupidest basketballers for this year.

It is a bit of a short weekend wrap but as always if you want me to cover something I have missed or know there is an event coming up where you want my opinion let me know.  I am always happy to receive feedback and suggestions.  

Keep reading and pass the word.
