1. Man Utd v Liverpool - here's hoping the table topping winning streak continues, or failing that, a bloody good game for all of us to savour;
2. The F1 Brazilian GP - I have profound respect for Michael Schumacher, but I'm not looking forward to seeing him on the top step of the podium this weekend. He's certainly good enough for it though, mind you... but I'd rather see him go off quietly, than bask in the a glow of glory that he has frankly overstayed. Statistically the best driver the sport as seen; whether he is the greatest is certainly up to debate, and I certainly count Senna, Prost and Fangio above him.
Ta-ra Mikey... I'll try not to miss you
Enjoy the festival of lights, and eid-ul-fitr!

happy holidays bro!
Mr D, Gallivanter and Kenny Ng: Schumi fans seem to me as some Man Utd fans must seem to you... they bloody think his poo don't stink.
He is a brilliant driver no doubt. Statistically the best the sport has ever seen. But consider the context of him winning in an age when rivals were few and far between. Hill, Hakkinen and now Alonso (don't even remind me about the loser Villenueve)were the only ones (in a span of a dozen years, mind you) that have given him a run for his money now and then. When machinery was equal, Schumi could have been, and often was, well and truly beaten.
Senna, Prost, Piquet, Mansell all raced in the same grid season after season, when powere was rarely concentrated within one team. Even the McLaren in the 80's had formidable competition from Williams, Benetton and the occasional Lotus or Brabham.
Give shumacher his props: he is one of the most successful sportsmen in the world, and perhaps, perhaps a much nicer guy than what we see on the grid.
But greatest? Surely not.
Happy Deepavali, Kerops! Enjoy.
We won .. we won!
And Schumacher did himself proud by nearly getting on the podium too .. love him or hate him - he is amazing :-)
Yay... Man Utd won! I get to gloat while Mr D sulks.
I hate Schumi. Bring back Hakkinen, I say!

Wow, you're right about Senna, Prost and Fangio! LOL.
Gallivanter, of course I'm right, and what you say totally vindicates what I said. Pay attention here... "Stastitically the best driver ever. Perhaps even the most successful sportsman."
But put him against other WDC winners and he is often beatable, or at worst, ordinary. I have too many examples... perhaps the next post.
Remember this: for a long time Schumacher raced against kids, with a subservient teammate, with the best machinery of the field, and with the absence of other champions on the grid (don't even bring up Villenueve).
Sorry, but in my book, he'll never be greatest.
I do not like Schumacher. Who cares about stats. He's a f***ing cheater (vs Hill, Villenueve, Alonso, etc...)
And he looks like Ruud van Nistelrooy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
