A couple of years ago I ranked the then premier league teams in terms of my preference towards them. I thought I would drag up the past and revise that list for the current teams – possibly making it an annual fixture (lucky you).
1. Fulham (=)
2. Arsenal (=)
3. Blackpool (NE)
4. Tottenham (up 3)
5. Liverpool (down 2)
6. Aston Villa (=)

I asked my resident king of sports knowledge (I say king meaning he knows more than me) Trefor Little (aka my dad) to write down the top 5 sporting achievements of 2009. In no particular order then:
- England winning the ashes
- Andy Murray reaching Number 2 in the world rankings
- Jenson Button winning the world championship
- Usain Bolt breaking the 100m and 200m world records again
- Manny Pacquiao becoming the first man to win seven different titles at seven different weights
Come back on the 4th for his list of the top 5 achievements of the decade. What do you think?

So with Euro 2008 drawing to a close with the two upcoming semi-finals Germany vs Turkey and Spain vs Russia I can honestly say it hasn’t been the same for me without England in it. For me that would be like watching Championship football, there are no teams I care about so why bother?
I guess that demonstrates a general lack of love for the beautiful game on my part but I watched most of the games of the last world cup and was enthralled but I have had no interest in this tournament whatsoever, I guess not having a tv licence and not buying the newspaper made me miss the excitement of the tournament leaving me sitting at my computer just going two days later… oh they played?
