Hitting the Fans: Race for fourth could set precedent
http://nickygervais.blogspot.com/2010/05/race-for-fourth-could-set-precedent.html
Wednesday, 5 May 2010. Race for fourth could set precedent. While this evening’s battle for fourth place in the Premiership and that final elusive Champions League spot intrinsically surrounds Manchester City and Tottenham Hotsphur, in truth the result could well affect the remainder of the division just as much. Blackburn Rovers and more recently Chelsea have seen daft amounts of money thrown at them in a quest to topple the best domestically and abroad and the success has since been littered. It speaks...

Hitting the Fans: February 2010

Friday, 26 February 2010. Bridge's Announcement Disguising Deeper Issues. Wayne Bridge’s declaration that he will effectively end his international career may have pulled the personal issue between himself and John Terry to the forefront of our minds again, but in truth its contributed to cover up a greater problem in the selection of England’s world cup squad. However the progression of James Milner this season has been nothing short of fabulous. When everyone is fit at the Emirates Arsene Wenger uses W...

Hitting the Fans: June 2009

Saturday, 20 June 2009. Lions Set To Rue Missed Chances. After 65 minutes of the opening test in this years Lions tour you could have been forgiven for thinking South Africa were cruising as they drew nearer to a 1-0 lead in the series. The Spring Boc’s were beginning to pound the weak Lions attack, and having just taken off fly half Ruan Pienaar an air of invincibility and arrogance crept into the World Champions spirit. With that single score the home side saw their opportunity to claw back the initiat...

Hitting the Fans: npower Championship prediction
http://nickygervais.blogspot.com/2010/08/npower-championship-prediction.html
Wednesday, 4 August 2010. After the mass signings from north of the border Gordon Strachan appears confident he’s found the right mix for a promotion tilt. Kris Boyd is the biggest of those new names, along with Nicky Bailey, the tricky midfielder from Charlton. Have at last got the right man at the helm in Neil Warnock. The no nonsense manager is still looking to bring in Darren Ambrose from Crystal Palace, while the return of Adel Taarabt is still not yet assured. Expect a more resolute Rangers...Worke...

Hitting the Fans: November 2009
http://nickygervais.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Although we still have another month of jam packed sporting action to come its already that time of the year where one of the most prestigious award ceremonies begins to come to the forefront of our minds. It is of course the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award and yet again our country has been blessed with dozens of high-class performances spanning a high number of sports. Most comprehensive sporting awards event in this country at least.

Friday, 13 August 2010. Barclays Premier League prediction. Despite having lost the peripheral figures of Joe Cole, Michael Ballack and Juliano Belletti, Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is hardly weakened from the team that wrapped up the double in May. What might hurt them is the loss of. So often John Terry’s safety net. Even without the Portuguese defender The Blues have enough going forward to comfortably secure their fourth Premier league crown. Roy Hodgson has his work cut out to survive The Reds’ im...

Hitting the Fans: npower League One prediction
http://nickygervais.blogspot.com/2010/08/npower-league-one-prediction.html
Wednesday, 4 August 2010. Npower League One prediction. So often teams find it hard to raise themselves again after a successful season dominated by a points deduction. I don’t expect it to be plain sailing for Alan Pardew’s men but with the squad they have, on top of the investment that will come in January if all is not right, makes them favorites for promotion. Never truly replaced Rickie Lambert last season and faded away during the final 10 games of the season. Now with Will Hoskins on board, an...

Tuesday, 18 August 2009. The Curious Case of Goal-line Technology. Another weekend, and yet another call has come bellowing from the English Football community for goal-line technology to be introduced into our game. The victim on this occasion was Crystal Palace, who had a legitimate goal ruled out. By both the referee Rob Shoebridge and his linesman. To rub salt in the wound Palace went on to lose the game 1-0 with a late Nicky Maynard goal at Ashton Gate. And the Bristol City playing and coaching staff.

Hitting the Fans: Could this be the most exciting Formula 1 season ever?

Thursday, 11 March 2010. Could this be the most exciting Formula 1 season ever? It may have been 159 days ago that Jenson Button secured the Formula 1 Drivers Championship, but in truth its feels like just yesterday that the 30-year old produced one his finest performances behind the wheel as he powered his way to the title in the Brazilian sun. Lewis Hamilton had a subdued year in an off the pace McLaren car, while his new teammate Button stormed to his first world title after winning six of the season&...
