Actually, it really is breaking news but delivered Heed style. Break dancing is to be an olympic 'sport'. It would be easy to blame the IOC for being out of touch but imho they are simply being driven, as usual, by MONEY. Squash is just another minority sport but break dancing is popular wif ra yoof wot will increase the TV audience and expand the watching demographic. Pure and simple, money.

BTW, had not realised squash had grown so big in Egypt? 11 of the top 20 players and the top4 ranked players. Anyone know why?

In other breaking(ish) news ... Slaven Bilic is now available. Thoughts?
BTW ... I was thinking as a potential replacement for Lenny, not our dodgy CBs.

Trained. Our defenders play like they've got chains on their ankles and bolts through their heeds.

Golf is borderline.
Can see the argument from both sides but definitely agree on the others

No thanks

Aye, I'm a wee bit like that myself, in all honesty. Have always quite liked the guy, but have never been sure if he's actually a good manager or not. I guess win rates need to be assessed in the context of who he's managed though ... and I'm also fairly sure he's a better manager than Lenny.
