Today is Thanksgiving , which means Americans eat more than normal (if that’s possible) and get larger than they already are (if that’s possible). We don’t really celebrate it here in SA. It’s a bit like Halloween – a handful of people use it as an excuse to have a drink and be merry. If we did celebrate it […]

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 12
Last week I said that I finally felt happy with my squad as a whole, and my instincts proved true. Aside from not having the balls to captain Aguero for fear of him being rested against QPR, I had a decent gameweek. I captained Di Maria, who got an assist and six points. Krul and Dummett […]
Kevin Pietersen: the infamous autobiography reviewed
Where do I start? I’m not even sure. Well, let’s get this out of the way first…. I am a HUGE Kevin Pietersen fan and have always agreed with everything he’s done in the past. I think he had every right to leave South Africa when he wasn’t selected for the Natal side and I loved […]
Training a new body to run again
Running. It’s the one thing I can do that clears my mind, no matter what is going on. Whether I’m happy or sad, going for a 5km or a 21km run can put me on cloud nine. I’ve always been an average runner. I used to hit the road four or five times a week – three or four […]
Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 11

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 10
It must be the week of Halloween, because I had an absolute HORROR week. Last week I brought in Ross Barkley, hoping he’d be my differential now that he’s back from injury. Alas, he played a mere 26 minutes and got a single point. Other nightmares included Aguero captaining my side and getting 2 points […]

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 9
Last week I decided not to believe Jose Mourinho and keep Costa in my side and captain him. Unfortunately for me, and hundreds of thousands of other managers, Jose was telling the truth – Costa did not play. Thankfully, I had Pelle sitting on my bench, who came into my side with 15 points. Sergio […]
Could the English Premiership be a three horse race?
Ask a hundred people who will win the English Premier league this year and 55 will say Chelsea, while the remaining 45 would probably say Manchester City. But is it the craziest thing to throw Manchester United into the mix? Now that you’re back from falling off your chair – here’s why I think you’d […]
