I know this is a football blog but did you watch the tennis final yesterday?
What a fantastic display of skill, strength, athleticism and character by both the Spaniard and the Swiss.
And what a summer it has been for Spain. First European football champions and now Nadal winning at Wimbledon.
I'm more interested today in news from another European county, however. For it would seem the latest addition to our skulk of Foxes is one Aleksander Tunchev from Bulgaria.
(In case you are wondering, a skulk is the collective term for a group of Foxes. Don't ever say this blog is not an education in its own right!)
Meanwhile in other news, Chel$ea are set to have a little taste of Italy today and Real Madrid are still stalking the Portuguese wonderboy. Newcastle on the other hand are trying to fight off claims that international interest in them comes from a somewhat less appealing source elsewhere in the world.
Still a bit of controversy might shake things up.
Most things are better shaken than stirred I find

Well I may be old but it was not me. Perhaps it was Adam to protect himself while Eve was doing "keepie uppie"
The simplicity of football is a major reason for the interest in the game. While there are many injuries in the sport, those injuries are usually minor. Yet many injuries can be prevented by proper coaching, training, and protective equipment. Proper selection and use of allowable equipment should be beneficial in keeping football a safe, health-enhancing activity.
So Georgie and Anonymous always wear your protective clothing be it a hat, gloves, pads, boots or with men even a jock strap.
