Having never won a major singles tennis title, Kournikova has effectively transcended the sport and made herself a sex symbol through regular scantily clad appearances in well-known “sporting” magazines such as FHM. Sarah Harris Clich?sex please, we’re British Hermione Eyre on our home-reared raunch-meisters Female Chauvinist Pigs are not exclusively a US breed Some squealing can also be heard here in Britain. “Abi in her undies!” “Makosi: steamy lesbian snog on Big Brother”, “Buy the British University Babes Calendar – all nude!” Oink, oink! All the above are real-life examples of women playing up their sexuality in a clich? titillating way, and as such, they could be taken as proof that “Raunch Feminism” is running wild. However, as with most US-led trends, we have adapted it in our own sweet way That is to say, we remain slightly more grounded about it They have Girls Gone Wild, we have Calendar Girls.
They have pole-dancing clubs, we have the Cambridge University Pole-Dancing Club They have the steely pro Jenna Jameson We have the endearing amateur Abi Titmuss (pictured) Ah, Abi. It is easy to forget that she lead an upright public life before she was shopped to the papers by Jason Blayde, with whom she had enjoyed a private orgy.

And commentators who, while they would never strip in public, deal far crueller blows to womanhood by suggesting Victoria Beckham should have made a home rather than a career Makes baring your boobs seem rather harmless.. THE POLITICS PARTY: Caricature of a good time The host: The Economist’s deputy editor, Emma Duncan, on the occasion of the Political Cartoon of the Year Award, sponsored by The Economist. The venue: The Economist’s offices, St James’s Street,London SW1.
The guests: Cartoonists, politicians and journalists, among them Kenneth Clarke, Tony Banks, Steve Norris, Tony Benn, Martin Rowson, Steve Bell and Gerald Scarfe.The atmosphere: The cartoonists allegedly have too much to drink, but draw the line at dancing.
The award for the cartoon of the year is decided on the night, so cartoonists turn up to vote for themselves The winner traditionally receives a chair. “All these cartoonists are very well paid but they’re too cheap to go out and buy themselves a decent chair to sit on while they draw,” says an insider.The history: This year will be the fifth awards. In 2003 The Independent’s cartoonist Dave Brown won for a depiction of Ariel Sharon, based on Goya’s Saturn Devouring His Children. The Press Complaints Commission received dozens of complaints of anti-Semitism but found that the cartoon did not breach its code.The gossip: The Political Cartoon Society has been banned from allowing Boris Johnson to host the awards. The Economist refused to let a rival magazine editor in on the occasion. “We’ve spent the last year chasing people like Andrew Marr and John Sergeant, and even Stephen Fry.
But they’re all busy, so we’ve ended up with The Economist’s deputy editor. Yes, it’s a slight disappointment.”THE SOCIALISERS’ PARTY: Networking like there’s no tomorrowThe host: Carole Stone.The venue: Middle Temple Hall, EC4.The guests: More than a thousand of them (out of the 20,000 contacts on her database), probably including Charles Clarke, Michael Palin, Michael Portillo, Esther Rantzen, Baroness (Helena) Kennedy, Michael Buerk, Tessa Jowell and Peter Snow. Stone says: “I was the producer of R4’s Any Questions series for over 10 years, so my guests today are usually a mix of politicians, think-tank people, those from the media and the business world.”The atmosphere: “It really is considered a networking event rather than a party,” says one previous guest. “There will be a hardcore of people exchanging business cards.” Stone says: “As I pay for it all myself, I’m quite ruthless: no food, just soft drinks and plenty of good but inexpensive wine.”The history: It started small 20 years ago. From there Stone went on to have bigger get-togethers – in the BBC canteen, then in her London flat, though that got too crowded. “You’ve got to get a bigger place,” said Michael Winner, addressing her from her loo.The gossip: Last year Andrew Neil, host of The Business’s party, was there, refuting accusations he has nearly as many jobs as his employee, Boris Johnson “No,” he apparently barked. “I am his boss.” If Neil nips round for a quick network in between passing round the canap?at his own party, talk is likely to be of whether his troublesome employee is about to be one job lighter by Christmas.THE CELEBRITY/CHARITY PARTY: Stocking up for a good causeThe hosts: Neil Fox and Tania Bryer at the Macmillan Celebrity Christmas Stocking Auction.The venue: Waldorf Hotel, Aldwych.The guests: Celebrities have put together their “dream Christmas stockings”, the contents of which have been donated by their manufacturers.
“But in December 2003, we did manage to get a contract with two other flight simulator operators in Gatwick, Luton and Manchester.”Annoyingly, the timing of this deal meant he just missed the Christmas sales period, which accounts for half the company’s turnover.But today, the business is thriving again and Mr Stevenson expects next year’s turnover to be in the region of £400,000 to £500,000. Bankruptcy was an option, but Mr Stevenson didn’t want to leave customers out of pocket, so he took on the debt himself in the belief that the business would soon resume trading and he would be able to pay it back.Eventually this happened, but 2002 brought with it a further setback to the company, with BA putting the prices it charged Virtual Aviation up 90 per cent. “Now all we can afford to do is corporate events at Heathrow,” Mr Stevenson says. The history of Virtual Aviation helps explain why.In the early days, everything looked promising.

The game, always prone to contemplating its own navel, needs second division nations like the Pumas, Western Samoa and Italy to compete against the traditional powers with a genuine chance of victory if it is not to become a crashing bore.”Rugby in Argentina is changing for the better because we are becoming professional in the way we think,” Arbizu said. “We propose to be fully professional, but it is important to have the right structures in place This performance was a big step along the road. We showed we could come to Twickenham and earn respect.”Arbizu and his men earned more than that, even if their pockets remained uncontaminated by filthy lucre. If Argentina get the transition right off the field, as well as on it, and succeed in regathering their best players from the four points of the compass – remember, there was no Mendez, Noriega, Corral or Pichot on Saturday – they may yet help tighten the southern hemisphere’s stranglehold on the sport Never mind, England.

Everyone is entitled to a bad day at the office, but not all at the same time And not quite as bad as this was. The howls of rage and jeers of derision which hounded England’s players into the tunnel after one of their most inept performances yet suggest that the country has had a bellyful of bull. You can talk a great game until forever, but it seems in the last 18 months or so that while England’s management has done the talking the rest of the rugby world – most notably the southern hemisphere, which also includes a much-improved Argentina – has put the theory into practice.
In an office environment, when a problem is identified it is management’s job to solve it, and generally quickly. If a staff member is not producing the goods you can be sure that in the commercial world changes in personnel will follow. Well, out there it is a professional world; mistakes cost money.It is now also a commercial world in rugby yet Jack Rowell, high-powered executive in the business world, admitted after Saturday’s sorry affair: “We have not resolved certain issues, but they are not going to be readily resolved.
You are not going to resolve them in three weeks.”No one expected Rowell and his colleagues to achieve it in that short time. But fans – the 57,000 or so who bothered to go – left Twickenham questioning whether England will ever get things right. And they are well aware that in fact Rowell has had a great deal longer than three weeks to solve the issues – the back-row and the half-backs as well as the over-abundance of centres. How much longer must the rugby public be treated to the line, now wearing extremely thin, that England can go on and learn from this? That tired old phrase is being repeated after every match, win or lose.The scrum-half Andy Gomarsall said after the game: “I was pleased with my performance today. It was a stronger performance than the one against the New Zealand Barbarians.
Then he confesses, a little reluctantly, that in fact the origin is somewhat closer to home.”There’s a railway bridge at the end of an alley that I used to walk my daughter through to go to nursery school and it’s where she first discovered echoes, and so we came to know it as ‘Echo Bridge’.” Despite this, Colin Blunstone is determined the album should also be a bridge to the future. Already thinking about the follow-up, and toying with the idea of playing live again, he’s clearly settled on a direction he’s happy with.And with that, I realise, we’ve covered three decades in the career of one of the most extraordinary voices in British pop. And we never even left reception.n Echo Bridge is out now on Permanent Records.. 1 Rance Allen – “God is Wonderful” (1975)
2 Aaron Neville – “Mona Lisa” (1981)

I like songs that are attractive to listen to, but have depth and different layers – songs that can be taken in many different ways.”So who figures large in the Blunstone songbook? “I’m a real song nut,” he admits, name-checking songwriters who span four decades: from Paul Williams and Jimmy Webb to Clifford T Ward, Nik Kershaw, Paddy McAloon (“a great writer. If blue is your favourite colour, you don’t usually know why.
“In the past, I’ve said that things happened to me, that I had made few decisions in the music business Now I want to change things around a bit. I want people to react to me.” So after three years in search of the right songs, and with voice entirely intact, comes Echo Bridge, his first album of new material for almost 15 years.”Once I get rolling on an album, I look for songs that appeal to me, songs that move me,” he says “I don’t ask why. And now, after feeling like a man out of time for much of the Eighties and Nineties, this is the long-awaited Blunstone re-launch. Where has Colin been?After the Zombies, he went to work in an office, as you do after making it to the top in the pop world – “hustly and bustly but very restful after the music business” – but was eventually lured back to the charts in 1969 with a re-recording of “She’s Not There”, this time as the short-lived Neil MacArthur Then there were the Seventies hits in his own name. This is the man whose high, tremulous voice registered those creamy solo hits “Say You Don’t Mind”, “I Don’t Believe in Miracles”, “What Becomes of the Broken Hearted”.
Nobody sang like Colin Blunstone, a rhythm and blues choirboy from St Albans.
He relaxes his fit-looking, casually clothed 50-year-old body onto a bench seat He speaks as he sings: softly, gently He breathes words. Still nobody is there to answer the phone, so we introduce ourselves, shake hands, and I’m thinking: “This is him.”
This is the man who sang “She’s Not There”, the song that established the Zombies the same month in 1964 that “She Loves You” entered the charts. Colin Blunstone pushes the door open cautiously, as if entering a church It’s not a church, though It’s the office of his record company. The phone is warbling and nobody is there to greet him except me, and I’m thinking: “Is this him?” He nods at me, averting his eyes, and stands for a moment, awkwardly tall and thin, unconsciously flattening his longish hair. “See how I add the last bit,” he giggles, “so none of you feel insecure.”The hotel muzak persists in the background It’s “The Girl from Ipanema” McAlmont starts singing along There’s more to this man than his voice, but what a voice McAlmont will be lucky if he makes it big So will we.. Leaning over, he shouts: “Isn’t this better than being at some crappy TV show?”We’re back at the hotel once more and McAlmont is drunk as a skunk He’s showing off to all the straight guys “Does anyone want to try my cherry.. lip salve?” he asks. “It’s a place to hide.”It’s 10.30pm and we’re off to see Massive Attack, friends of McAlmont’s He grooves quietly to himself at the back of the hall.
“I’ve had a bad life, I deserve to be beautiful.”He says he is happier now than ever before But he knows the mouth of Pandora’s Box is wide open. “There’s nothing more hopeless on this planet than a pop musician – stardom is a sickness.” Why does he want it then? He giggles drunkenly. “As a child I got shut out so much by men.”School sounds hell. “The boys hate you and if the girls want to demonstrate they’re grown women they go for McAlmont.” (I blink at this use of the third person – he’s oblivious.) “Everyone would stand round watching McAlmont get beaten up by a girl.” His voice is wobbling. Was McAlmont too camp, or not camp enough? As Freud might have said: “What does the world want?”McAlmont is dwelling on rejection.
The producer walks off, muttering: “Liked the other one – it had more kick.”We’re back in the hotel – McAlmont is sure he’s been pulled because of complaints from Ulster’s religious groups. Kern thinks they were cut because “Be Mine” was too downbeat. The producer thinks McAlmont is going to perform “You Do” – with strings. It’s out of the question: McAlmont can’t do the number without Butler. The nice PR man persuades the producer to listen to “Be Mine” McAlmont tumbles straight into song: “Don’t leave I won’t let you.”McAlmont finishes Silence.

The irony of it is that if it is successful, they will have to find a live artist to represent the virtual one.”At the moment, Kyoko is a cultural phenomenon only in Japan and her fans are mainly otaku, full-on no-mate net geeks. Her profile reveals that she is age 17, 162cm tall, likes Toy Story and fancies Christian Slater. She has been kitted out with a family and kooky memories – her first love was a boy in her football club – and even poor vision.
Kyoko Date is the first “Digital Kid”, progeny of Japanese “talent agency” HoriPro Inc and computer graphic designers Visual Science Laboratory. The world’s ultimate exploitable star is a state-of-the-art virtual chick, made up of 40,000 polygons. She will happily frolic for free 24 hours a day without appearing at awards ceremonies with “slave” scrawled across her cheek.
No chance of her ever having posed for Playboy, or being caught hoovering up dunes of coke. Kylie is the original diminutive long-toothed Ozzie singing-and-soaping sensation, Neighbours’ Charlene to Dannii’s mere Emma of Home & Away.Plastic Fantastic: Dannii, 5ft 2ins, has changed in a few brief years from a raven-tressed balloon face with a chubby hooter to a slender blonde with narrow nose and large breasts “I don’t have a problem with surgery,” she says. Dannii recently posed in that internationally prestigious organ Australian Playboy.Fame Prospects: Dannii displays the determined camera-happy grin and glittering eyes of the ferociously ambitious. Expect further reinvention, body modification and a few more careers, including a spot as agony aunt for Australia’s Woman’s Day and the odd pet food ad..
Kyoko Date is not your average pop idol. OK, OK, she may have had a role in Young Talent Time when she was virtually a toddler and called plain-old “Danielle”, but obscure Antipodean broadcasts count for very little in this world. They never lose their dreadful accents or shed their essential small town lack of hip, but they do cop roles in pantos and behave Lycra-and-lager-lout style in trendy clubs.Past Form: Never forget that Dannii was famous first then Kylie came along and spoiled all the fun. Now she’s dating New York-based photographer Steve Shaw.Wizards of Oz: Let’s face it, trendy old London is full of irritating Ozzies who think it’s cool to live here – see Jason Donovan, Kylie, and now Home & Away’s Isla Fisher.
Now make yourself stop.Boy Toys: Dannii, 25, has publicly ached over the demise of her 17-month marriage to simmeringly handsome soap star Julian McMahon “My marriage will stay with me forever,” she says. Kylie lookee-likee.
Sister Act: While Kyles has made the almost unprecedented metamorphosis from bubble-permed nafferie to genuine crop-headed cool, with her wasted gamine icon status, sexy boyfriends and sense of irony, the package that is Dannii smacks of desperation, silicone, and the me-me-me screams of the frantic-to-be- famous Whistle one Dannii ditty Then whistle I Should Be So Lucky. Dannii, after floundering about horribly in the hit parade’s shallows, has suddenly emerged with a new single, a new body, a forthcoming album, and a starring role in the New Taste Diet Pepsi ad Welcome to Britain, er, Dannii

Kravets was one of the main threats Hansen identified before these championships. After suffering from an Achilles tendon injury, she returned to action last month in Nice where she recorded a merely respectable distance of 14.40.The first medal of the championships went to the Ukraine’s Aleksandr Bagach who beat the US wild-card entrant John Godina by three centimetres with 21.47m. Hansen, whose recent preparations had been undermined by a niggling back injury, underlined her medal potential by jumping 14.77 metres with her second attempt, some 20cm clear of the nearest challenger.The 25-year-old’s prospects were further improved by the withdrawal of the defending champion and world record holder, Inessa Kravets. The Scot – who complained afterwards of a hamstring problem – improved to 10.24 but could finish only fifth, not enough to see him through.Ashia Hansen gave Britain’s team one reason to be cheerful yesterday as she reached tomorrow’s triple jump final as the best qualifier. His successor as British champion, Ian Mackie, was drawn in Boldon’s heat after a disappointing 10.42 in the first round to earn a qualifying place by 0.01sec. Bailey was followed home by Darren Campbell, who secured a place in today’s semi-finals as one of the four fastest losers with a time of 10.13.Campbell’s coach and Britain’s fastest man this season – Linford Christie – was looking on from the BBC television commentary box.

International comparisons suggest that in literacy we are in the second division, well behind New Zealand and the United States, to mention just English-speaking examples. In setting up the Literacy Task Force, which will report on Thursday, David Blunkett anticipated this challenge. Its task has been to design a strategy which, if pursued over a five to ten year period, would ensure that all eleven-year-olds could not only read but read well. If we want our school and college leaving standards to match the best in the 21st century, we must first ensure that reading standards are transformed.
In the 1996 national tests, only 57 per cent of pupils achieved or exceeded the standard expected of eleven year olds.
This has profound implications for our national education system. Unless its standards match those of the best worldwide, our young people may find that in the global job market they fall far behind their peers from Singapore, New Zealand or Germany They will have been betrayed. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank recruits employees from over 50 different national education systems It is not alone. “Which may be why polls are not much in evidence these days.Because, far from being too simple for us, they are actually too sophisticated for most voters.If you agree, phone Yes If you disagree, phone the No line. This Malcolm Rifkind business is very serious, is it not?No, it’s not.Who cares if he is Jewish?Except those people who are already puzzled by his strangled Scottish accent.Except those people who miss Rabbi Hugo Gryn on Radio 4 very much and think of Malcolm Rifkind as a pretty poor Jewish replacement.8 Hmm … Well, what’s wrong with questions like that?Everything.They are the sort of questions which only politicians want to know the answers to.They are the sort of dumb-assed questions asked by interviewers on the Today programme.They don’t reflect the kind of questions the voter is asking.6. How do you mean, being asked the wrong questions?Well, the pollsters only ever ask questions like: If there were an election tomorrow, which party would you vote for?Or, which of the three party leaders do you rate most highly?Or, if John Major stepped down, who would you favour most as the next Tory leader?5.
It’s just that we are fed up being asked the wrong questions.4. The Lottery is all about forecasting things, and so are football pools and astrology, and so are all those programmes on BBC which show the build- up to Five Nations rugby internationals, although that might be a bit different, because international rugby is about the only sport that the BBC has still got hold of, so they have to milk it dry until everyone is bored silly, but the question remains: Although we still love speculation, have we actually got fed up with polls themselves?Yes.No.No, we haven’t. The public is always wasting its money phoning in to vote on matters they cannot possibly affect. The absence of polls is very curious, because the British have always loved indulging in speculation. All we have had so far is the rough findings of canvassers and a defiant shake of the white flag from “Dr” Brian Mawhinney But no polls. Why not, do you think?Because the polls got it so wrong at the last election that the papers don’t want to burn their fingers again.Because the polls got it right at the last election and then people changed their minds after reading the poll results and before voting, thus making it look as if the polls were wrong.Because Tory papers are sick of Blair being so far ahead all the time and would rather not even print the polls.Because the papers have finally tumbled to the fact that polls are not news and nobody gives a toss about them.3.
If they were, we know we will all stand accused in the hearts and minds of millions of non- Muslims. The wave of sympathy we feel for the victims and their families (innocent Muslims may well be found among the many victims) and the fury rising in our communities against these violators of life and faith will not be noticed. Instead Islamophobia will once more erupt worldwide and be legitimised by some political leaders.It is OK to hate a Muslim again. Already Russians are strutting about claiming vindication for their inhumane destruction of Chechnya and Israel is looking decidedly smug, expecting no more condemnations of its increasingly ruthless actions against Palestinians. Hindu fundamentalists have started e-mailing their anti-Muslim messages around the world and I have just heard that here a group of young Sikhs spat on and threw stones at some Muslims girls walking home from school. They were shouting abuse and accusing them of giving Asians a “bad name”.What will make the next months even harder is that the lunatic and murderous factions who call themselves Islamic will be encouraged by the power of their methods, and those who are brought up to hate the West (a hatred that too often works against them) will rejoice, and this, too, will add to our burdens.
Living in the West we will be seen as the enemy within by both sides, and we now know just how this will press in on our lives.Jewish and Irish Britons will understand what a difficult balancing act it is to walk that tightrope where you are furious and indignant for being held responsible for the evil actions of others, but you know you cannot claim absolute disconnection. Every time the IRA bombs mainland Britain, Irish Britons find themselves under suspicion. Jewish Britons these days are frequently asked to pronounce on Sharon as if they have to make constant pledges in order to remain on the left side of liberalism. None of us caught in this can avoid thick and steady guilt that soon overwhelms, especially in the aftermath of truly horrific events.It is far, far worse if you are a liberal Muslim or a Muslim whose faith lives comfortably with the values of the West.
Most American and European Muslims would say this about their lives. They have many justifiable complaints about discrimination and the hatred that they face, but many of us now see ourselves as people of Europe not just Muslims who happen to be in Europe. That is not how we are perceived by the West, and there are many Muslims who abhor this integrationist position.I have already heard from young Muslims who defend the Taliban and burn with anti-US sentiments I share some of these. US policy in Iraq and Israel upset the mildest of us, but, no, we would not kill American citizens to avenge these, nor would we make excuses for those who do. But who cares about these distinctions? All Pakis are now terrorists and so fair game. So we brace ourselves again for a period of bile and beatings and hate mail and furious writers who will take no time to reflect but will decry Islam and Muslims.
Remember the prophetic pronouncements of Bernard Levin after Oklahoma? “Do you realise?” he thundered. “In half a century, no more, fanatical Muslims will be winning wars around the world and Oklahoma will be called Khartoum on the Mississippi.” The newspaper Today had a picture of a fireman holding a baby with the headline “In the name of Islam”. It turned out to be all-American white boys who had plotted this barbarism but the prejudices remained intact.I presented a documentary for Channel 4 in the aftermath of the Oklahoma bombing. In the US, Senator Dave McCurdy and Jeff Kaymen, a Washington writer, were both responsible for careless and emotive outbursts against Muslim extremists they say plot and live in the US They were unrepentant when they found that they were wrong. In that time and space between blame and truth, Muslims in the US lived through hell. Their children were abused and attacked in schools, homes were stoned and mosques shot at. One Iraqi woman I interviewed, a refugee, had a miscarriage at seven months in front of her three-year-old after she had to barricade herself against a mob throwing stones outside her small house.

Being cool and withdrawn alienated him from the fans and from the media in Milan Arsenal don’t want that. There was a joyous mood in South Africa, but a large percentage of non-whites still support any Springbok opposition.V is for Van der Westhuizen, the superb Springbok scrum-half acclaimed as the tournament pin-up. Rumour has it that he was substituted in last weekend’s semi-final only because his eye-liner was running.W is for Chester Williams, the only black South African in the Springbok side and a national hero because of it.X is for Xhosas, the South African tribe who threw their support wholeheartedly behind the Western Samoan team.Y is for Yoshihito Yoshida, the Japan wing who led the charge against Ireland and nearly inspired the biggest upset of the tournament.Z is for Zinzan, the elder of the two Brooke brothers, the All Black No8 who struck the audacious 45-metre drop-goal against England Here was outrageous talent plus the confidence to use it.. “For Arsenal, it was history in more ways than one. Not only did the pounds 7.5m paid by Bruce Rioch for Dennis Bergkamp treble the club’s record outlay, but the Dutch international striker’s arrival from Internazionale yesterday must be the first instance of a Tottenham fan receiving a rapturous welcome in Highbury’s marble halls.” Independent
“No Merson about. Marc Ellis scored six for the All Blacks in the one run-out, against Japan and, alongside Jonah Lomu, led the try-scorers’ table with seven; Rory Underwood and Gavin Hastings topped the northern hemisphere try-count with five each.U is for unity, a sense of which, the South African press would have us believe, swept the country as the nation linked in support of the Springboks.
We have yet to hear about Lynagh, Campo, Carling and co.S is for Joel Stransky, the man who put the Springboks together with success in yesterday’s dramatic finale.T is for tries There were 187 of them. They tell of an ill-conceived ticket allocation system for games which could have been sold out many times over.P is for president. If this is a glimpse of the future, then let’s all sign for rugby league now.G is for game plan It helps to have two or more. England only had one and didn’t it show?H is for Hastings (Gavin) and hero; the two go together.
Other World Cup heroes: Dewi Morris, John Eales, Chester Williams and the team of Mrs Mops who swept the water off the pitch before the Durban semi-final.I is for ITV. Poor Alastair Hignell froze when fronting the first live broadcast and it was downhill from there.J is for Japan, the team who were on the wrong end of the biggest defeat ever in a World Cup finals match – 145-17 to New Zealand And Jonah wasn’t even playing.K is for King’s Park, Durban They said it never rained here and how they lied. It poured down on three of King’s Park’s five games, last week’s semi-final being hit by the sort of deluge that would have prompted Noah to load up the animals.Lis for Lomu, large, lightning-quick and soon to be loaded. The player of the tournament and a new phenomenon in the game. Also for (Doug) Laughton, the Leeds coach, one of the many rugby league men eyeing him up.M is for David McHugh, the referee who sent off three players after the South Africa v Canada free-for-all at Port Elizabeth.N is for nail-biters: England v Australia (see D), Scotland v France (N is also for N’Tamack, the French winger who won that game in injury time), and we should not forget the brilliant Samoan comeback victory over Argentina.O is for open spaces.
A team of free transfers and cast-offs eventually finished 18th.But the money began to flow in thrilling fashion in the summer of 1993. “Knighton, Knighton, what’s the score?”, taunted the Walsall fans. In the face of scorn, the great man’s pulpitry was seamless and spellbinding, and spoke of geographic potential, 10-year plans and Europe.We supporters waited, to see how results matched the rhetoric He promised a win in his first game A big crowd saw Carlisle score 3, and Walsall get 4. He would make Carlisle United a model club.The world looked on.
They saw a derelict relic of the Third Division North, lost in the wilds of Cumbria; they saw Michael Knighton, on the rebound from Manchester United They called him the Walter Mitty of football. He came in clouds of vainglory, predicting the Premier League within 10 years. “I don’t exactly agree with saying it’s a bit out of date but I would say it’s more easily said than done. The most difficult thing to do is win the ball in the first place.”Against the English behemoths, especially. “Bayfield and to a lesser extent Johnson and also the back row are pretty good at winning the ball, so in a sense England can do what they like,” Dwyer said. “Anyone who can give France quite a bath is a very good side and very hard to handle But by no means impossible.”.
Saturday, 24 August, 1974: Chris Balderstone’s penalty beat Pat Jennings and Spurs at a packed Brunton Park and Carlisle United were top of the First Division. It was a special moment for the homely club that had risen from the lower divisions in the expansive 1960s. Shrewd housekeeping and attractive football had contributed to what Bill Shankly called “the greatest feat in the history of the game”. This was the stuff of dreams, become reality.
The fates were weaving a tragic fall, as if to punish such hubris. For the want of a goalscorer, United were relegated at the end of that season.
Two years later, they were demoted further.Apart from a brief, Bob Stokoe-inspired resurgence in the early 80s, the next 15 years saw a steady decline. The nadir was reached in 1992.Bottom of the entire Football League, with dwindling support and no money to strengthen a desperately poor squad, the club was put on the market. The end was surely nigh.And then came Knighton, of the ball-juggling, alleged financial shenanigans and take-over fiasco at Old Trafford. “That idea, that your back row has to be at every breakdown, is three years out of date,” he said.”Now you are talking about being able to produce ball five or six times and, when you do that, you can’t have the same group of players there all the time.
You are now after multi-skilled players, backs who can react to contact and control the ball, and forwards who can be link players and when they can’t make that contact will be at the next one.”Dwyer, an old antagonist of McGeechan from the Lions tour of 1989, begs to differ. You can’t afford to have knock-ons, throws forwards, kicks into touch, commit offsides or give penalty kicks – because any or all of those would just be giving them the ball.”You also need to utilise your own strengths as a side. There’s nothing like surprise, nothing like speed to be able to demoralise and disorganise the opposition That’s an area where Wales have considerable qualities. England’s physical attributes come into play only when they have the initiative and Saturday’s game will be about teams competing for the initiative.”How different it was in Young’s day. He was Wales’s hooker against England five times from 1969-73 and won the lot. Ian McGeechan, nowadays struggling to lift Northampton off the bottom of the Courage League First Division, won only two of his six for Scotland against England but, more particularly, coached the Scottish side who beat England in the climactic Grand Slam match of 1980.”The major difference now is that they have probably four or five people in positions to make decisions about what is happening to possession, whereas the big weakness of England was the inability to vary their tactical approach under pressure,” McGeechan said.We still do not know – and at this rate may never find out – whether England would be vulnerable to opposition who win enough ball to pull those gargantuan forwards about the field For McGeechan, though, this is not an issue.
