There's a bit of a fucked-up face thing going on with rugby players though isn't there? I also find them too hulking and I'm always worried one of them is going to get a spinal injury. For me, it's footballers all the way (with the obvious exception of Wayne Rooney). The body shape is more proportional, there's more general running around and posing, occassionally spectacular goal celebrations, fighting and nice/comedy hair. Ironically, football is banned from the telly if I am in the house.

Oh don't get me wrong, footballers are MUCH fitter. But if I'm not feeling pervy I'd rather watch* a bunch of human oxes knocking each other over. Footballers would actually die if you threw a couple into the midst of a rugby match.
*Although to be honest I'd rather watch paint dry than either. I like the fumes.

The Women's World Cup has started and Japan are playing England live on BBC2.
One of the Japanese women (number 9) has the most unbelievably fierce perm you could imagine. In fact I think it's one of the wigs from Dreamgirls.

Is this Lesbian Rugby? Or Lesbian Football?

Dieux de Stade is amazing! I wish the English team would do something like that - there are at least four of them that I would definately do.

I was very happy when Scotland's Sean Lamont decided to get his todger out (repeatedly) for Stade de Dieux last year. Very nice it was too. The problem with rugby lads is that they're usually posh public school twats. But then again, at least they can read, write, and construct coherent sentences. Which is more can be said for most footballers. Not that that would stop me doing Alan Smith of course. Though i'm sure he's a tremendous intellect in any case. Possibly... |

There's something about Jim Rosenthal that makes me uncomfortable.
Cardiff city centre was full of big armed burly Australians this afternoon arriving for tomorrow's match. I thought that the tournament was being held in France, but seemingly not.

Yes, the South Africans are bastards,
Despite England being given a thrashing, I was quite taken by South Africa's flaxen haired kicking man Percy. He has such big arms and lovely hair.

I have a half marathon this morning.
I'm currently putting a bunch of music on my ipod that will motivate me when it gets hard (all the way through then).
I intend to find a fittie wearing lycra, and use the fact that if I overtake them, I can have a sideways glance at their bulge. Perhaps that's too much information but it's a tried and tested formula.
Wish me luck.

I find The Girls' Wake Me Up is the perfect song to run to, just don't crick your neck doing the head flicks like I did.
Good luck - I'm expecting a time under 80 minutes.

I got a personal best of 1hr43(and 50 seconds).
There was much lycra, all of it so tight that you could tell the religion of the runners.
I even made a friend. I found a boy with a nice ass to stay close to. To my surprise, we were well matched for pace. I sped up a bit to try and overtake him and he started making conversation with me. I, of course, made a huge tit of myself ("you may feel fine now, but wait till two miles from the end" and "It's a really nice day, isn't it?"). He was obviously unimpressed with my small talk (or maybe he heard the lesbian tones of Ani Difranco coming from my headphones and though it best to scarper the pessimistic, shit at small talk, gay man who listens to lesbian music) and ran off into the distance leaving me to curse my rubbishness and whinge to myself about my feet hurting.

Sort of a sports question but more celeb related. Does anyone know whether Jamelia is still going out with footballer Darren Byfield? I ask because it has recently come to my attention that he is now playing for Bristol City and I was wondering whether I might see Jamelia out and about. Bristol would be about 100% better if Jamelia lived here. We've now got Liz from Atomic Kitten but that's clearly not as good.

There was a story on DigitalSpy over the weekend with the headline being something like "Jamelia hopes for reunion with Byfield?" I didn't bother reading it but I assume they're still residing in Splitsville.
The thought of living in the same city as Lee Trundle doesn't appeal one bit. Ugh.

If we get Jamelia that will probably compensate for Lee Trundle. And it could be worse - we could have Craig Bellamy.

My former colleague Janice knows the Bellamy family well. The stories she can tell about him growing up. He makes me proud to be English
I wouldn't bet on him moving to Bristol though, he's running out of places to work in - Bradford, Norwich, Coventry, Newcastle, Glasgow, Blackburn, Liverpool and London so far.

Anyone want to comment on Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea? It's probably the most exciting sports related thing to have happened this week. I quite like Jose but he's such a drama queen that I sort of expect this to be a bit of a tantrum and him to be back by next week.
Of course I may be completely wrong about that.

Anyone want to comment on Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea? Didn't he figure prominently in the LowCulture Top Ten of Men? We should therefore be mourning his loss. I really like him, especially for his bizarre metaphors and being a bit of a cunt. He's such a handsome devil too. All I know is that the fall out is probably because of that Russian guy being an interfering pain. The Guardian says he's likely to manage the Portugese national team. Here's an image for you: Jose AND Christino Ronaldo at the same match! (Although what the hell is Christiano DOINg with his hair these days? He's trying to fight nature with product, and losing the battle.) Is anyone claiming it's a McCann-inspired backlash against anyone from Portugal yet? |

Either Ryan Seacrest is with the American men's Davis Cup team (live on Sky Sports Extra) or he has a lookeylikey.
I'm thilled that Jose has left and I look forward to watching Chelsea implode over the next few months. As a club, Chelsea is out of control. They spend millions on transfer fees and wages to players who just sit on the bench and wait for someone to get injured. Add to that John Terry refusing to sign a new contract until he was the highest paid player there, and the board agreeing to his demands, and Lampard still holding out on signing his new contract, and Mourinho isn't there to control the egos with his own anymore.
He said that managing Portugal is an old man's job (plus Ronaldo hates him, understandably after the comments he made about him), and I really don't hope he goes to Spurs as they really are playing attractive football at the moment, something he has no interest in.
