The Seasiders - Barmy Army, barmy army........
Sport on Saturday is all about expectation. Sport on Sunday is all about reflection. So how do I feel today?
Blackpool FC did the business. This is the first UK sports result I check out everytime I logon to the Internet on a Sunday morning. Yesterday, Blackpool won 5 - 3 at home to Charlton. I actually attended the Charlton away game just before Xmas when I was in London. It was the Seasiders worst result of the season. Eight weeks on and home advantage can make such a difference.
England took the honours in the rugby in the Six Nations game against France in Paris. What is 13-24 in French? Nous were stuffed par les Anglais? Not linguistically correct maybe, but you get the message. And it was a similar message in St. Helens. Fylde RUFC came away with a 18-26 victory over West Park St. Helens. More Pork, more pork.
And then there is Billy Bowden. Proving once again, what a great Kiwi cricket umpire he is. Howzat Daniel? Er, je ne rien pas. Les anglais lose. And that is another weekend's sport in New Zealand. At least for another seven days.
