Yesterday football result: Portsmouth 6 - Leeds United 1
Three years ago Leeds United was in the semi-final of the Champions League and was boasting talented players like Alan Smith, Rio Ferdinand, Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Paul Robinson, dan Harry Kewell. The future looked bright and nobody was denying that that team could make it to the top. What a difference three years make, huh? From that list of players, only Smith and Robinson are still there. Rio's gone to Man Utd, Woody and Bowyer are at Newcastle Utd, and Kewell went north to Liverpool. With £80m in debt and rock-bottom in the premiership, the future looks very bleak now for Leeds Utd. Where did it all go wrong? Easiest is to point a finger at former chairman Peter Risdale. One other explanation: football is a damn hard business.

Oh, and talking about football, an interesting article about Roy Makaay and the Dutch national squad. They should easily win from Scotland although in reality it's going to be really hard. I know them far too well.

Petter Solberg has won the World Rally Championship after a thrilling finale in Wales.

Nice to see Petter celebrating with his fans. He is one of the most colourful drivers in WRC these days. Too bad for Loeb, although he did excellent as well during the whole season. I'm sure that he'll pick up some WRC in his career. From now on it will be Solberg - Loeb - Martin - Duval leading the pack. It's time to say goodbye to Makinen and Colin McRae.


Last night: drum n bass in Weetamix, although the DJ was crap
Tonight: Ben Harper in concert
