Updates around the sporting world

Formula One

Jenson Button has once again clinched the vital victory at Monaco GP. Starting from pole, he had all his chances to seal the 10 points. Yet, again Brawn 1-2 with Rubens Barrichello coming 2nd.

Another torrid day for the McLarens. Lewis Hamilton, the defending champion finished 12th after starting from the back of the grid. Teammate Heikki Kovalainen had an accident which forced him to retire. Well, we need more consistency and power to win! Where's the spirit, boys?!

English Premier League

It's the end of the 2008/09 season. Manchester United capped a wonderful ending by Darron Gibson scoring a wonderful goal. Spectacular! Hope to see him next season as regular. The end it was 1-0 to United. However, Hull was lucky to survive the relegation battle despite losing to United. They were lucky as Newcastle and Middlesborough were the unlucky sides who lost their crucial last day match, which they badly needed 3 full points to survive. Darn unlucky! Goodbye Newcastle. From the wonderful years of Sir Bobby Robson's boys who had beaten Barcelona in the Champions League to the fall-out of the Newcastle owner, Mike Ashley, it seems all good things must come to an end. Big names clearout is expected and Championship football for a year then.



Till death do them apart from the Premier League


Roland Garros 2009 - Day 1 (24/5/2009)

No big names were playing on Day 1. Apart from that, only Andy Murray and Ana Ivanovic were the notable ones who are playing. Both got off with a good start by winning impressively.



Andy Murray beat Juan Ignacio Chela 6-2, 6-2, 6-1



Anna Ivanovic beat Sara Errani 7-6, 6-3

That's all for the update for the weekend!
