Weekly Wrap (21/3/2008)

Football Dept
England's big four play each other over the Easter period, Liverpool take on Manchester United, whilst Chelsea and Arsenal duel. This should really open the title race, particularly if Man Utd and Arsenal both lose. The fairytale is really almost over for Gretna who managed to gain 3 consecutive promotions from division 3 to the Scottish Premiership but due to Brookes Mileson's illness and no more cash injection, they really have fallen on hard times. Players considered striking for not being paid accordingly and of course points deducted for falling into administration
On a lighter note, East Fife won the division 3 title only to find when they wanted to celebrate after their 3-0 win at East Stirling, they had their champagne taken away by police because they were in glass bottles!!!

Tigerwatch
Tiger is in Florida for the World Golf Championship where he is looking to win his 8th straight tournament. He is only two shots off the lead after the first round. He's almost unstoppable. He was 50/1 to win all 4 majors, now he is only a stingy 8/1 and even less according to the golf channel.

F1 Dept
Well done to BBC for regaining the tv rights to the F1 Grand Prix for. But the big question will they use synonymous theme tune, the chain by Fleetwood Mac.

Racing Dept
Who says there's no manners in sport. In a 4-runner race at Kempton Park, there were 3 male and 1 female jockeys. After a slow start, the guys with a ladies first attitude let Josephine Bruning to pass and poach a huge lead. The guys were playing cat and mouse, figured Bruning and her horse, Sol Rijo (the rank outsider of the four) would come back. But round the home turn, Bruning was in splendid isolation and went past the post to register her first win. She was so stunned that she thought she had to do another circuit and completed her winning lap!
