Setanta: Time for a substitution?

Normal service resumes on this blog next Monday - an enforced break from the goggle box is to blame - but I couldn't let the remarks from Setanta, pass without comment. Oh yes, Setanta. The most hated satellite channel going....

Freeview? Not quite too sure...

THE word Freeview is slightly misleading. Firstly it's only free once you've bought the kit. Secondly, viewing is not always possible. Switching on my telly each day has become a lottery - the excitement is palpable. Will I get a...

Why is the BBC trying to flog us high definition televisions?

TOON THE WIRE

KEVIN Keegan smiled, shrugged then answered the Sky reporter with admirable honesty. Asked about his hopes for next season after Newcastle’s 0-2 reverse to Chelsea in Tyneside yesterday, his words stood out from the perennial cliched football-ese churned out by...

JODIE FOSTER - MAKE MINE A PINT?

IT'S interesting the lengths some films go to deliver product placement these days - either deliberately or subliminally. Iron Man, which opens today, features a Burger King plug. And Nim's Island, which opens tomorrow, features loads of visual references to...

SEMI-FINAL AND SKY

Rafa Right or Rafa Wrong?

RAFA Benitez couldn't lose tonight's League Cup clash against Reading. After resting, dropping or simply not picking Fernando Torres for Saturday's 0-0 draw against Birmingham at Anfield, the Reds manager got some flak. Quite right. It was a bad mistake...
