Wigan's woes to continue?
I can't help but foresee another tough season in store for Wigan.
With complete disaster averted last season there is again something of a dejectance around the club from reports I have heard, and though the new season holds in store the same old elements of new beginning, there is so much catching up to be done that I'm not sure we won't see another long season in store for the former greats.
Willing to be proved wrong, of course, though a lucky late win at Catalans Dragons shouldn't paper over the cracks.

Murray into semi's
Am I the only one who thinks Murray is on the verge of something big?
He's still only 19 after all, and having now advanced through into the semi-finals at Memphis, is about to enter the world's top ten.
Wimbledon could be very exciting this year.

Murray keeps on going
Andy Murray could find himself in the World's Top Ten if he performs well at the Memphis International later today.
A big tournament with some quality opposition, it's easy to forget how far he has come, and how young he still is too - 19.
I wonder if those who dislike him will still be turning their backs when he creeps into a Wimbledon final in the next couple of years?

GP Karting again
Further to my last blog, I've had some people ask for more information about karting, so just to let you know the place in Northampton is www.gpkarting.com.
I'll be adding a proper link as a fansite.
Should be getting some photos back from there as well so you can see what it's like.
There are many like this place around the country - I'm just sold on the buzz again having not done it in so long.

GP Karting
I went karting last night - first time in a long time - and forgot how much fun it was.
There's a place called GP Karting in Northampton and they've got some excellent circuits and a number of different race set-up's.
Think I will really get back into it this year. Despite my advancing years you never lose the buzz of steaming past you drinking mate who has stacked it into a wall of tyres on the final corner!!

Will Northampton stay up?
Cobblers!
"FORMER Cobblers boss Colin Calderwood has backed Stuart Gray's side to beat the drop in Coca-Cola League One this season.
Calderwood's Nottingham Forest condemned Town to their fourth consecutive league defeat on Saturday with a 1-0 win at the City Ground, a defeat that leaves the Cobblers perilously close to the relegation zone, just a point clear of the drop zone.
But the former Sixfields chief, who took Town to promotion from league two last season, is sure that the current side have enough talent to stay up this term.
"The performance on Saturday will give them a lot of hope," said Calderwood.
"But it's easy to go to a stadium like the City Ground and raise their game and be competitive, especially when we can't get the opening goal.
"It's all ahead of them. We struggled long and hard to get into this division and I fully expect them to be in this division at the start of next season, because there is enough about them."
The Cobblers travelled to Nottingham with nine first-teamers missing for the game with promotion-chasing Forest, including regulars Sean Dyche, Chris Doig and Joe Burnell.
The resolve of a young Cobblers side impressed Calderwood, and he is sure that if they can start netting wins at home, they will start next season in the same division.
"I think the young centre halves coped really, really well, added the Scot.
"And big Deuchar up front looks a handful and Andy Kirk will go on a goal-scoring spree at some point.
"I think if teams win their home games at the top then they will win promotion and I think if teams at the bottom grind out victories at home, then they will stay up.
"If you win your home games, then you don't have to chase victories away and anything you can pick up is a bonus.
"I know what it's like at Sixfields, I wouldn't really want to be going there so I'm going to look at the opposition they've got, and hopefully one or two in the top six will be going there.
"That will be a difficult place with the ground full and the crowd behind them and them striving to stay in the division. They will, I'll guarantee you they will."
