The world of sport (or at least my bit of it) is going rather well at the moment. Obviously the rugby chaps have done well, but the cricketers seem to be finding their feet, footballers are kicking acceptably, and even the Red Sox are scaling the heights. I do however feel a slight unease with how well things seem to be going, and so for the record here are my predictions for the coming weeks.
1) The rugby team lose the final but come home with heads held high because they punched above their weight. I'm a little annoyed as I went to the trouble of getting a projector from school wich essentially meant I could watch England fail bigger and louder than normal.
2) The cricketers forget how to win as quickly as they seemed to remember.
3) McClaren can't resisit picking the arch muppet Lampard again and England lose to Russia and then croatia, they qualify by the skin of their teeth but everyone is left with a nasty "I wish they'd appointed Martin O'Neil" taste in their mouths.
4) The Red Sox blow up, Beckett pitches in game 7 and having previously been the October God he gets carted deep for lots and Terry in a moment of madness thinks "Cometh the hour cometh the gagne" - Gange comes, then goes again very rapidly over the centre field wall. JD Drew continues where he left off at the end of September and does nothing for $13millon. Fenway gets hit by a freak New England Hurricane and is utterly destroyed and MLB relocate the team to Wisconsin.
How about that for some good old fasioned Briish negativity. Reaslistically i'd settle for 2 from 2.
