Tiger Woods out for the season
June 19, 2008
The consequences that Tiger has suffered after his historic win at the US Open mean he will miss the rest of the season. Tiger played through the pain barrier to claim his 14th major and keep in touch with Jack Nicklaus. He has paid the price heavily and will miss the Ryder Cup and the other two majors.
Tiger said…
“I know much was made of my knee throughout the last week, and it was important to me that I disclose my condition publicly at an appropriate time. I wanted to be very respectful of the USGA and their incredibly hard work, and make sure the focus was on the US Open. Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is to listen to my doctors, follow through with this surgery, and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee.”
Simon Says…
Watching that US Open was brilliant and what Tiger said afterwards capped it off. He said he would never pull out in front of the thousands of people watching. I now wish he did because we will not see him again this year. I wish Tiger all the best and cannot wait to see him in action next year.
Jose Mourinho to take back some Chelsea players?
June 19, 2008
Jose Mourinho is going to war with Chelsea. He wants to sign Lampard and Drogba and is ready to swoop for former playmaker Deco as well. Jose is going to spend big and has already agreed to sign Roma midfielder Mancini for £15m.
Mourinho said…
“I’m not a nostalgic person. However, I recognise the players who have helped me win and I would never say no to signing Deco, Lampard or Drogba. I’d like to work with them again but it’s not an obsession.”
This news comes at the wrong time for Chelsea after they have been rejected by three of their transfer targets. Kaka, David Villa and Torres have rejected the chance to join the Scolari revolution. Big Phil is running out of star players to buy and he has no hope of luring Ronaldo from United. He is telling Ronaldo to go but surely, he would not go to Chelsea. It should be interesting to see who else Chelsea are going to go for.
Simon says…
I think it’s about time someone told Romans millions NO. Last year he proved you could not buy leagues and Champions Leagues and having not won the league for two years Roman is desperately trying to invest in star players. It doesn’t look like its going to work though and Chelsea could struggle again next year.
