After a weekend of European Championship football, World Championship Boxing and Formula One motor racing, what have we learned? Well, we now know that Gareth Bale can lead Wales to the Promised Land and probably walk on water too. We also know that Kell Brook may not be a household name yet but is also the shining new star of British boxing. And finally, we know that no one should ever try to talk to Lewis Hamilton when he’s driving around corners… man.
Fellaini Alert
Okay, so now we’ve all processed a great weekend of sport what does this week hold in store for us. Well, there’s even more European football tonight as Israel, fresh from getting run over by the express train called Bale, will take on Group B favourites Belgium. Demoralised by the Welsh on Saturday, the Israelis must prepare for the afro-battering ram named Fellaini.
Squeaky Bum Time
Looking ahead to the Easter Weekend the Premier League is back with a bang. Title chasers Chelsea and Man City are both in action against Stoke and Crystal Palace respectively. On paper, the Blues have the easier task in the Saturday night game against Stoke, but there have been audible squeaks emanating from the collective posteriors of Stamford Bridge in recent weeks.
The Divinity of Pardew
Likewise City, who have to travel down south of the river on Bank holiday Monday, with questions being asked of their stamina for the fight ahead. They will have to negotiate a vibrant Palace, who have been energised by the blinding white light of spiritual oneness, otherwise known as the Pardew-effect.
Tyne-Wear Derby
Easter Sunday see Burnley entertain Spurs in a must win match for both sides for very different reasons. The big game of the day is arguably the most passionate encounter in English football, when Newcastle make the trip to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light for the Tyne-Wear derby. In an encounter where men are men and horses are nervous, this is a clash of epic tribal proportions.
Championship Wacky Races
We can’t forget to mention the madcap race for promotion in the most competitive league in the world. Yes, the Championship goes up a gear this weekend with seven of the eight top teams on show over Bank Holiday, starting on Friday.
They call him AJ
In amongst all this football, we also have the return of the latest British heavyweight tipped to conquer the world, Olympic Champion Anthony Joshua. This guy is special and will be looking to unleash his unbelievable power on Jason Gavern this Saturday night.
And that’s not even the half of it…
