The gravel in your sporting ice cream.
Possibly the greatest thing I’ve EVER posted (since the last one): want to see Martin Crowe in a Chris Gayle headband? Merv Hughes thinking he can walk through things? Gavin Larsen so excited he could shit? Alan Border looking annoyed? Behold. Ian Botham is a big sportreview favorite – he’s also huge among the Australian … Continue reading “Links on Friday – Cricket and Zombies”
I love me some Zombies, and can’t wait to finish writing this shit so I can get back to Resident Evil 4. At my house, nothing says Xmas like getting drunk and shooting at some re-animated rotting flesh, so here’s my top five Zombie gifts for this special time of year. 5. Sean Of The … Continue reading “Zombie / Xmas gift guide 2006”

Don’t think this guy really gets what batting’s all about. Hitting the ball and that. You can see him thinking ‘F**king YOUTUBE’ on the way back to the shed. Six classic footballs. Tango = 1982 = undisputed champ Arsenal 4 v Spurs 4 fanzone commentators. They got too excited at the start and left themselves … Continue reading “Links on Friday”
Stroppy 70’s legend Johann Cruyff cusses out photographers, beats hapless defenders like they were The Joker’s henchmen, backheel volleys a goals with REPETICION, all to Thunderbirds music… this clip has everything.

I’m stoked 2007 is over, sports-wise. After three World Cups and a big yacht race for no trophies, we’re left to pick up the pieces after a year of early starts, late finishes, big build-ups and crushing disappointments. What have we learned? Nothing, if you believe Henry’s reappointment was a mistake (which I don’t), but … Continue reading “sport review best of 2007”
