Yes congrats to Alcaraz

A tournament that may be remembered for a pair of
epic semi finals totalling about ten hours

Next stop, Paris in the spring 
.

Congrats to the new Women's champion, Elena Rybakina !

Men's final tomorrow.
.

The two finals are set ;

Alcaraz v Djokovic

Sabalenka v Rybakina
.

Alcaraz just about beats Zverev in one of the all time great matches

5 hours, 27 minutes
.

More luck for Djokovic last night ; he was 2 - 0 down in sets, and on his was out, when his opponent had to retire injured
He already had a walkover in the previous round
To his credit, he said
"Musetti was the far better player. He should have been the winner today"
.

Brutal conditions down in Melbourne, as temperatures hit 42 degrees
.

That is sad news,  Mike.
What a terrible 12 months its been for drummers ; The Jam, Squeeze, Banshees, Blondie, Plus jazz legend Jack de Johnette, and now Sly.

RIP.

... Already heading for the Quarter Finals -

Alcaraz v De Minaur
Zverev v Tien
Musetti v Djokovic
Sinner v Shelton / Ruud

and the women -

Sabalenka v Jovic
Gauff v Svitolina
Pegula v Anisimova
Rybakina v Swiatek

Emma Raducanu crashes out

Katie Boulter knocked out in first round, although Raducanu is through

Also through is the splendidly named Storm Hunter ; Defjam would approve

Already time for the first major tournament ! The top four seeds ; 1, Alcaraz - needs this to complete the set of Slams 2. Sinner - Going for third consecutive win in this . Deserved favourite 3. Zverev - Has type one diabetes, may struggle in extreme heat 4. Djokovic - can he win it at age 38 ? Bes...

Looks bleak for us, doesn't it.

I cant even be bothered with my annual 'Palace in Sunderland ' joke

AFTER what battle

I changed the phrasing of the question after Gary pointed it out.

32 clubs, only one game to be played in London

Napoleon didn't surrender at Waterloo
He retreated to Paris

The only player worth anything in our team, working his bollocks off and he’s now devoid of confidence.    Fuck off with the "form" bollocks. He kicks a football for a living. On the hierarchy of complex skills it's pretty fucking low. You've never heard a brain surgeon apologize for kill...

QPR have the best player in the Championship (Ilias CHAIR) , but he is out injured. 

Having said that, today they absolutely STOLE Ronnie EDWARDS from Saints for five Million... 
Classy Rolls - Royce England u - 20 defender ; A better player than Kilman

When we played Brentford it was billed as the team that couldn't win at home against the team that couldn't win away. Had we won we'd have been level with them.  They're now 5th 😂😂 Don't forget our world class stadium has a bigger capacity than Brentford, Bournemouth, and Brighton, all put together...

Happy birthday !
