Yes, well summed up regarding the mental side of things for her game. That was my thoughts too. Other jobs and activities with her child off the court and fun and focus on the court. Agree with the 'pressure' side of things.

Well said Titan & Queen C. I'm wrapt for Kim Clijsters in winning the 2009 US Open. Thorougly deserved her win and was in the best form at the tournament. Great to see her 18 month old join her. I think she can continue on and do well at the next Grand Slam event - the Aussie Open. I'm probably out of my league in saying this, but being a mum may just help her game. Congratulations Kim. The Williams sisters could also take a leaf out of Kim's book relating to on court manners.

Dee-lightful win by Man U over Spurs...'away too'..........

They're appealing (Chelsea that is). Was the ban 3 transfer windows...or 2? In other news Lucas Neill is reportedly leaving for Spain......Madrid I believe (SEN - this morning). Probably for the warmer weather.... GG, any news of this (re: Neill) over there?

Really? what happened?....

I thought Benitez did a solid job last year, just too many draws for the reds.

I take it you don't like the Liverpool condemned...... PS. *disgraceful*

Cool customer? He lost the plot. Temper tantrum at the very least after seeing one of his forwards being called off-side. (He was off-side by a country mile). Yes anything can happen in a EPL season. First points go to Man U.

Man U 2 Arsenal 1 And to make things interesting Arsene Venger sent off after kicking a water bottle after an off side.

Two sheds jackson, sincerely I can't believe that you're going through all of this at just 23. Shocked. I've enjoyed reading all of your posts and I hope to read many, many more. You give well balanced and very articulate views IMO. I enjoy reading them. May you draw some inspiration from our MFC President Jim Stynes and his own personal battle, and fight it, don't wait for the inevitable. It's taken great courage to share your thoughts, your personal battle. Now you have got that off your chest, you now know where to channel your courage and energy.

You're kidding yourself...what has the Gunners quietly achieved lately? Man U & Chelsea have left Arsenal in their wake the last few years.

Saw that goal last night. Great goal threaded between about 3-4 defenders. The pass to him on the lead wasn't that good, but his touch was deft and he created the goal out of nothing. Weak defence all the same.

Doing ok Spurs. As for Man Utd Burnley won 1-0. Something tells me this season will be a different outcome.....for once

:D Thanks guys.

I thought the Spurs strip was ok. Stoked about Cahill I bet. But not with the 6-1 thumping at the hands of the Gunners. Man U over Birmingham, just 1-0. Yeah, not sure about Owen. Will score a few, but I wonder if he'll be able to hold up for the entire season. I think Chelsea, and the Gunners are off to a flyer. How was Drogba's chip goal. Awesome. Will be interesting to see how Man City go with all their buys. They look a bit weak down back at the moment.

Pim left him out of the Ausiie team last night to concentrate on his offer..

Noticed on Fox Sports last night, Lucas Neill still doesn't have a club. He's got West Hams's offer, but he's weighing up two other offers, one of them is believed to be Kewell's side in Turkey. He's taking his time, will settle his decision within the next week.

Cheers for wrap up GG. Chelsea too good on penalties. How was Sir Alex, I heard he nearly blew a gasket on the sidelines!

Looks as though that player likes it too.......... that or he's cringing of embarrassment...

Great updates GG. 18 days out, where do you see the Big 4's EPL title hopes? Will it be Chelsea and Man U that fight it out again, or will Arsenal and Liverpool pull their fingers out and improve? Or will Villa or some other crack the Big 4 this season? Is there room for so many ego's on the field at Chelsea?

Do you want JT to stay?

I believe it was Landon Donovan, USA's best.

Cheers. What do you think of your new manager?

I see the Russian Institution have now appointed their new manager. Wonder at what cost?

Don't worry, the tide will turn soon. Nice to have you on board. PS. Collingwood is constantly referred to the "Filth" on this site. A little crude. But fitting. Just in case you weren't sure when you come across it from time to time.
