Ashley, whose Sports Direct empire announced a huge drop in profits yesterday, has also moved to end suggestions his real passion is for Tottenham. He said: "It's not true.

Ashley, whose Sports Direct empire announced a huge drop in profits yesterday, has also moved to end suggestions his real passion is for Tottenham.

He said: “It’s not true. I absolutely hate Spurs and always have done.”

Im pleased to say I tipped Nadal to have learned from last year before this start of this years tournament and was chuffed to see him beat Federer. There is nothing like a new winner to spice things up and I think the game needed it. But I do agree totally with you Wes. It should be a joy to watch like that. Such a refreshing change to see 2 guys who enjoy the game. Thats what makes a player great. Not just talent they have to have the current mental attitude to have a competitive edge to win! Not be bothered about the money but their reputation and strive to be the very best they can be at their profession which should be a privilege. I am sure there are many people who would love to swap places with them. Young footballers have it far too quickly these days. Money has completely spoilt the game and my taste for it has long been getting soured. I just don't have the passion for football I once had. Players think they are alot bigger than what they are. Back to the tennis though and that really was the very best of sporting action. TBH it was a great day of sport as Hamilton did amazing at Silverstone and great to see him also shove it down the throats of the press. He was lapping 6 seconds faster than any other driver on the same tyres in the wet... now that is talent.

Maybe I'm stretching the imagination here but that right there was the sort of sporting hunger, grit and determination everyone would like to see in the hearts and minds of footballers today. Too much money too young? Maybe but whatever it is you just don't see enough of it. By the way, anyone watch the Wimbledon final?

Its almost like hes damaged goods like Babayaro, Parker, Duff have all been. I like th idea of Crouch as well but I think he ruled out coming here. Shame really. We really do have to bring in the right players and I like the fact we aren't just the team now agents can link to in order to demand obscene wages. We've been too easy a touch in the past.

Can't put my finger on it but just makes me feel their head won't be right. Maybe just after seeing Duff I don't know. Something bothers me about the idea of signing players from Chelsea.

Viduka is okay but should probably be moved on as he is another injury prone chap. Like the noises of Sidwell and liking the fact that we will not bow to any wage demand now.

Its getting daft and I think at last most are seeing them for what they are apart from some seriously thick fans. Things quiet on the transfer front but if its anything to go by from the Jonas signing we aren't going to hear a thing until the signing is complete. Not bad business but I think its a transition for us all. I think its seriously frustrating the papers and I wouldn't read too much into agent talk niether as that is likely them trying to drum up business for players by linking a player to us. I actually think that would annoy our lot. Yeah. Its getting daft and I think at last most are seeing them for what they are apart from some seriously thick fans.
