simply having a wonderful Christmas time ...
Everyone is producing reviews of the decade at the moment – they seem to be everywhere in the newspapers and online. I was taken by The Independent’s sports poll in which Thierry Henry is a leading candidate for “Villain of the decade” for his recent handball against the Republic of Ireland, presumably on the basis that it is still fresh in everyone’s minds (and isn’t The Independent Irish-owned?). That’s always the problem with these polls, it becomes hard to remember who the villains were in 2008, let alone 2000.
