Nikolas Davydenko has had his fair bit of publicity relating to betting scams, but I don’t feel what I am going to talk about today will be investigated.
I trade plenty of tennis matches, but never get involved in any match the Davydenko plays.
Let me set the the scene to this movement.

For a while I have been thinking of the best way to use Twitter and it suddenly came to me the other day when viewing through tweets via Tweetdeck, the number of spammers I was following.

From Sunday August 16th your screens will go blank unless you pay £20 a month to keep up subscription of live racing pictures from most of Britains top racecourses.

The new season is upon us for us fans who support clubs outside the Premier League and more importantly another summer of endless transfer rumours and speculation only has a few weeks to run.
