The B of the Bang... and arthritis

The sprinter, Linford Christie, always said to get a great start in sprinting, you had to go with the B of the Bang.

He was referring to the starting pistol and launching yourself on the very same moment that it went off... the first sound... the B of the Bang.

I think the athlete I was controlling in the below game of Athens 2004 launched quite some time after... missed the Bang completely and started instead in some other word some way off camera. The word may have been Crapola. He went with the second a of Crapola.

I've never been very good at these type of video games where your success is governed by how quickly you can repeatedly pound some buttons. On the plus side however, I probably won't be crippled by severe arthritis in my fingers in later life.

Yeah!

The Football Premiership - Spurs off the Bottom... at last

Another week, another win for Tottenham in this great reversal of fortune.

New manager, Harry Redknapp is the man !!!

Manchester City 1 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur

That will do nicely !!!

Brazilian Robinho scored first for City in the 16th minute, finding the net from point-blank range. That thankfully was the end of their tally as resurgent Tottenham were to come back strongly.

Manchester City deservedly had Gelson Fernandes sent off for a clumsy challenge and the home side were down to just 10 men. It was now a very different game.

A rejuventated Darren Bent scored a brilliant individual goal in the 30th and from here the game was Tottenham's to be won.

Bent added a second goal in the 64th and the victory was sealed when City had yet another man sent off. Tottenham had Assou-Ekoto sent off in the 87th, but by that the time the game was already won. 2-1 to Tottenham and 3 much needed points.

Spurs finally climb out the relegation zone to 17th. It looks as if they will finish the season about mid-table. One wishes Harry Redknapp had turned up a lot earlier. Under Redknapp's command Tottenham Hotspur are a completely different animal.
