Week One: Aguero late show, Rodgers on thin ice and sad day for Cricket

Sometimes I get the urge to start a new blog, or pass my opinions on different sporting topics, despite them mostly being a load of toss.
However I wanted to come up with some new, quick and snappy that will hand my views and opinions to the top sporting topics and funny sporting topics each week.
Here is the first installment of that, with ups and downs hitting this week, as well as a much loved football star entertaining the country on I'm a Celebrity.

Aguero late show proves he is one of the best!

City needed to win, badly, however they nearly cocked it all up again.
1-0 up, with an extra man, they should have pressed for a second and cruised to win.
But against the class of Andy Tate's idol 'Pep Guardiola' City couldn't handle Bayern's 'barca style of play' as Alonso, the man who ages like a fine wine drew them level.
And then Lewandowski grabbed another, however as the clocked into the last ten minutes I had a feeling the little man would pop up.
That is what he did, and he capitalised on calamity defending to keep his side in the CL.
Big shout out to Frank Lampard as well. Still kicking it at the top, didn't look out of place at the age of 36.
Rodgers on the thinnest of thin ice.

I used to like Brendan Rodgers, last season that was.
However after his Spurs rant last year, he has gone and done the same and signed some tripe in the process.
Replacing Suarez with Lambert. Awful. And with the likes of Lovern, it is interesting that they can do so well with Southampton, leave for the big time, and play terribly. Southampton in second makes that better.
However Balotelli seemed a panic buy, and they lack cutting edge.
Ludogarets was shocking, and terrible defending, and a decision that has always baffled me is giving Reina the can for Mignolet.
Shape up or ship out Brendan.

Keano wants to concentrate on two games in four months.

This morning we woke to the news that Royston Keane, or Roy, has left Villa as assistant manager to concentrate on work with Republic of Ireland.
Jesus Roy, two games in fourth months is hardly stressful.
To be fair Villa have been awful and it seemed an odd appointment in the first place.
However Villa are a sinking ship and need saving, fast.


Rovers refuse rapist Evans.

Tranmere Rovers chairman Mark Palios has turned down the chance to sign convicted rapist Ched Evans, no great surprise there.
Evans was relived from training with Sheffield United last week amid wide spread anger from fans and sponsors alike.
It is believed he is now training with his local side Rhyl, and was at their game against The New Saints last weekend.
Will Evans play again? With the current attitude towards him, it is hard to see where.

£25 to sit behind a post? No thanks.

Social media blew up in the week after a Bolton fan paid £25 to watch his side from behind a pillar at Blackpool's Bloomfield Road.
Unlucky to the fan who had to sit behind the pillar, but what a joke from Blackpool.
The club is already the laughing stock of the Championship, and this highlights even more how badly run that club must be.

Humble move from Mr Klopp

To the surprise of dog walkers and romantic strollers this week, Jurgen Klopp took his Dortmund team training in Regents Park prior to their CL clash with Arsenal.
What a great move from Klopp to interact with fans, and show that his super stars can relax from time to time.
Didn't really help them though as Wenger's boys turned them over.
Thierry Henry back to the Prem?

The Metro reported this week that Henry has hinted at yet another Arsenal return.
To be honest it is getting boring by now, but he would be the best striker to Gunners have had in recent years.
And everyone loves Mr Va Va Voom don't they.

Jimmy lights up the jungle.

No one, and I mean no one can dislike Jimmy Bullard.
The man was a genius on the pitch in his short lived career, and he is without doubt a genius off it.
Bullard entered the jungle after making a bad investment, so like all competitors he needed the money.
However he has lit the jungle up alongside Carl Fogarty, and looks set to be crowned King Of The Jungle next week.
The show can make or break people and I think this will make a career after football in TV for Jimmy, that is for sure.

Fantastic mark of respect to the late Phil Hughes.

This week saw the sporting world shocked by the death of 25-year-old cricketer Phil Hughes.
Hughes was struck on the neck and broke an artery which caused a bleed on his brain.
Hughes never re-gained consciousness and died in hospital.
A tragic and sad day for the world of cricket, however unbelievable marks of respect have been given.
The #63notout has been trending world wide, and the fact that over the week people have been leaving their bats on all over the world has been incredible.
Also a mention for the bowler Sean Abbott. It was a freak accident, but you have to feel sorry for the man who delivered that fateful ball.
The helmet safety needs to be reviewed, however for the time being, RIP Phil Hughes.
