Premier League - Van der Sar to keep going!!!


Veteran Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar is in no hurry to retire even though he will be 40 in October!!!

The Dutchman is enjoying an Indian summer to his career after arriving from Fulham in 2005.
He signed a one-year contract extension in February which means he will remain with the club at least until the end of the coming season.
Van der Sar insists age should be no barrier to staying hungry and having the will to win. He said: "I have been hearing these questions for the last three or four years. Sometimes you surprise yourself also. It is a great club to be at.
"You play in the Premier League, the Champions League, you have a chance of winning titles and trophies and competing against the best players in the league.
"It is something that is too good not to do it any more. I still very much enjoy it. Even my age it is still a pleasure to put in all the hard work so you are in the starting XI on a Saturday and a Tuesday night."

German Grand Prix - Race!!!


Fernando Alonso led a controversial one-two for Ferrari in the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim with the Scuderia seeming to instruct Felipe Massa to let him past!!!

Massa leapt from third to first at the start of the race, with Alonso slotting in behind him as poleman Sebastian Vettel - who finished on the podium - fell back to third.
The Brazilian was de facto leader until Alonso moved past on lap 49 of 67, soon after Ferrari had asked engineer Rob Smedley to tell him: "Fernando is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?"
The next message from Smedley was: "Well done. Good lad. Not try and keep with him. I'm sorry."
The incident is likely to come under fire from the media.
It is Ferrari's first one-two since the opening race of the season in Bahrain and they showed the greater pace throughout.
