He said the exact same thing last season and we all know how that panned out. Chelsea became Premier League champions and FA Cup winners. Ancelotti tweaked his players about, threw in some fresh blood and what do you ... http://www.NewsTime.co.za/rs_articles_contributors.asp?conid=51&recid=2047 Sthembile Shelembe Tue, 10 Aug 2010 22:00:00 GMT Michael Schumacher became the bigger man this week after realising his mistake and apologising for placing his former Ferrari team mate Rubens Barrichello in danger when he performed a dangerous blocking manouvre as the two battled for the last scoring position at the Hungary Grand Prix.

Well of course television is about pretty people and watching pretty people, you would be hard pressed to even find a newsreader that looks anything like Cruella Deville; after all nobody wants to spend hours staring at unappealing persons.
