Well done Manchester United!

That’s not because of its success of trouncing the neighbouring team Manchester City in the Carling Cup Final.

It’s for its stance against hooliganism at that match.

To have any football player – even if they are representing your bitter rival - hit by a coin, even if it’s thrown by one of your ‘fans’ is insulting and cheapens the game.

I truly hope Manchester United catch the person(s) responsible for soiling such a brilliant game at Old Trafford with their childish actions.

I’m saddened to hear that Crystal Palace has gone into administration.

This was the club that gave Ian Wright a chance to play at a professional level. Because he was over the age of 21, it was a risk for them to take him on but it did pay off.

Ian left Crystal Palace acrimoniously because he wanted to move onto bigger things, which included winning championships.

At that time, Arsenal was the only club in London that could provide the challenge he so desperately wanted.

Looking at how things have since turned out for him and Crystal Palace, it’s clear that Mr Wright made the right – or should that be the Wright - decision.

But as one door shuts, another opens. Victor Moses, a striker for CP, looks set to be going to new pastures.

Well done Andy Murray for reaching the Australian Open Final.

Tennis doesn’t have the same appeal in Scotland as it does in England and Wales, which is why I’m both astonished and pleased at the success of Andy.
