There has been much media talk of late concerning one David Beckham. Speculation has abounded that Becks is of to Real Madrid in the summer. Experts have come to the obvious conclusion that the move is promted by Madrids hope that the

Not In MY Name.On Second Thoughts Go On Then A week is a long time in politics. Long enough for Labour Cabinet Minister Clare Short to make one of the most remarkable u turns in political history. Last week, erstwhile left winger and anti war campaigner, Short, the International Development Secretary, stated here opposition to war with Iraq, and threatened to quit if war was pursued.

Chronicle Of A Death Foretold: Football's Mourning Sickness* The title of Tom Bower's latest book, Broken Dreams: Vanity, Greed and the Souring of British Football is far more revealing than the so called revelations contained within. Bower, an investigative journalist of some note has spent many years sniffing out financial miscreants and corruption. Previous exposes have included Al Fayed, New

Poor Loves If there is one thing the English love more than football its a crisis. Put the two together and they're in heaven. The latest crisis in English football? The fact that supporters of either Arsenal or Chelsea face a 400 mile round trip to Manchester to see their club in the FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield United. To boot, there are no trains to Manchester that coincide with the

Dirty Sanchez: Just a Welsh Jackass Rip Off? Fuck Off! Dirty Sanchez, MTV 's new Jackass(ish) show, but with Welsh trailer trash rather than art school drop out Yanks, has been taking a bit of a kicking by some media expert types, such as Digital Spy .

From Eulogy To Obituary? ECL Arsenal 1 Roma 1 The Wenger boys live up to the billing. At least a draw in Valencia? I think not. Gurnners, concentrate on the domestics, playing with the big boys is obviously one step much much too far. At least tomorrow night you can watch a club worthy of the title Champions of Europe.

A Dictatorship of Indecision It comes to something when your own father refuses to back you up in a fight. Former US President George Bush Sr has warned George Bush Jnr the current US President that any form of unilateral action against Iraq is wrong. Bush Snr urged George W. to rebuild the allied coalition that he assembled for Gulf War 1. "You've got to reach out to the other person. You've

But United's failure in Cardiff actually exposes the shortcomings of their so called rivals. Sure both Sir Alex

Controversial & Sophisticated Here's an extract from an article pI published in 2000 on the isssue of racial abuse, hate speech and soccer: Through the construction of the notion of hate speech, the issue of racism has become recast as a problem of the way people speak and behave. In effect racism has become de-politicized. In dominat socio-political discourse there are no meaningful

Too Controversial For Radio 5 Live? After agreeing to my appearnce on the Fi Glover show last night, it seems that a decision was made at the last moment to pull my contribution. Apparently my views are both 'too controversial' and 'too sophisticated' for the 5 Live audience. Might I also include their presenters and research staff? Nice to know they rate their public so highly.
