The Wrap - Timana WHO?

1. Can anyone believe that we were ever any chance for the Soccer World Cup? We are fair dinkum kidding ourselves. Blatter is a known liar and has said stupid things before. It is worse than the IOC and harder to crack. Frank Lowy has lost a lot of face. ONE bloody vote! Fancy rolling out Gillard and Paul Hogan again? Badly advised, but listen closely...can you hear the consultants laughing as they stumble to the bank with their full pockets?

2. Chelsea. Can tis overpaid lot of fools pull it together? The Russians are not going to put up with these clowns losing. They are everyone's tream because they win, butt here is little affection and warmth for this lot.

3. Sydney FC. The coach is living on borrowed time. He keeps getting thumped. Something else for Frank Lowy to worry about.

4. Timana Tahu. When is this bloke going to be barred? Parramatta are joking. He is a destabiliser and should be axed immediately. You will hardly miss his form.

5. Cricket. Poor catching kills teams. Greg Chappell has really upset the mediocre apple cart. They are all on notice and he is waiting for a huge clearance of blokes soon. Clarke is a disgrace and will come close to the axe soon as well. If his back is so good, then bowl a few overs at 1/ 580 please.

Peter Siddle. How close did this guy come to the axe (even allowing for his hat trick)? They went with Hilfenhaus, but must have been tempted to punt him. He was about to become the new Jason Gillespie (who scored a 200 and was then dropped). Has not taken a wicket since his hat trick - and will not finish the summer in the Aussie team. He is playing his farewell tour and does not know it quite yet. Has anyone seen any reverse swing yet? Troy Cooley has done a great job there. Performance pay?

Great to see gatorade still pushing the Johnson adverts when he has been dropped. He should be sacked immediately there, lest the brand look out of touch. Silly stuff.

6. How are we all feeling about Xavier Doherty? Not the answer.

7. Tiger. He is back. Beware, once on song, he will crush the rest.

8. Has there been a longer investigation than the Ryan Tandy match fixing affair? Lindy Chamberlain's case was the only one longer - and the Wood Royal Commission. Looking bad for Sam Ayoub. Noticed Parra have signed another goose who launched the betting sting.
