eiffel_71: The Big Match opening title (Default)
I'm loving The Big Match Revisited on ITV4. Very nostalgic for football fans of my generation, for whom Brian Moore was The Daddy, and throws up the odd interesting sighting - today we were treated to Judas Baird scoring for Southampton in a 4-1 win over Man City.

The interesting news of today was that Formula 1 is going on BBC for five years from next year. Not having seen the Beeb's coverage of it since I was little, it'll be interesting to see how their presentation differs from ITV (and great to lose the ad breaks). Not impressed with Andrew MacKinlay MP (though we shouldn't expect much from that dork) slagging off the deal and saying the BBC should show "real competitive sport" instead. What does he think F1 is - WWE wrestling?

Watched England Ladies v Czech Republic on BBC3. Any regrets about not being in Doncaster were offset by a couple of Innis & Gunn Limited Edition IPAs, and completely dissipated when England, missing Kelly Smith, could only stumble to a dull 0-0 draw.

Just as long as Hawks do the business at Bath tomorrow.
