So yesterday morning in Japan, Lewis Hamilton won his fourth grand prix title of the season, while uppity team-mate Fernando Alonso spun off after 26 laps.

So, there’s absolutely no way Liverpool can win the Champions League. We know this because Sir Alex Ferguson, whose team has already been eliminated, has said so.

Can us Diego Sanchezes of this world learn anything from Josh Koscheck? For those non-converts who don’t know him, Koscheck (above) is currently the most hated man in martial arts. You ask why. Firstly, he is extremely boring to watch fight. As a technical wrestler, he just lies on top of the other guy until the bell rings.

When you talk about dangerous sports, a lot of ‘out-there’ statistics get bandied around – there’s always some moron in the pub claiming that more people die from angling than from boxing (something to do with walking into power lines while holding their rods up and getting electrocuted).

According to the BBC, sprinter Dwain ‘fast but cheats’ Chambers is once again aiming for a career in the European League Of American Football, having previously bandied the idea around during his ‘break’ from athletics. And you can’t blame him for making the move considering the reaction to his comeback from his Team GB running colleagues.

It’s taken me till today to calm down enough to be able to write this.
