Avram Grant takes over at Chelsea

2007-09-20T13:26:00.000+01:00

Chelsea have announced that following the surprise departure of Jose Mourinho by mutual consent, they have appointed Avram Grant as manager.

Grant had recently been appointed Chelsea's director of football, and it remains to be seen whether his new role is a short-term or long-term appointment.

Quote of the day comes from former Chelsea player, Pate Nevin: "Avram Grant is going to be as welcome as Camilla at Diana's memorial." (source: BBC's article Chelsea name Grant new manager)

Unconfirmed reports that Mourinho is leaving Chelsea

2007-09-20T01:13:00.000+01:00

Reports have been coming in from the BBC and Sky that Jose Mourinho has left Chelsea.

Mourinho is believed to have text messaged various Chelsea players with the news of his departure from the club.

His departure has not been officially confirmed but Andy Burton of Sky Sports News reported that a senior player had said that Mourinho had been sacked by Chelsea.

Similar claims were made by BBC Radio 5live football correspondent Jonathan Legard.

Big Brother's Sam and Amanda signed by Sony

2007-09-11T23:42:00.000+01:00

The twins Sam and Amanda have been signed by Sony and are releasing a cover version of Barbie Girl.

The BBC reported that: "A spokesman for record company Sony BMG, which has signed up the twins, said: "It is a measure of how much viewers identified with the twins that they were the only Big Brother contestants never to have been nominated for a single eviction.""

However, this seems to show a fundamental misunderstanding of Big Brother. With the very rare exception, it was housemates who decided on nominations and not the public.

So, although there is no doubt that the twins are popular, it has nothing to do with nominations.

Brian wins Big Brother

2007-08-31T22:27:00.000+01:00

The results are in: Brian Belo has won Big Brother series 8. The final three of Liam, Sam and Amanda, and Brian was fairly predictable, but it was anyone's guess who would win.

Liam took third spot, but still came away with £100,000. The twins were delighted to take second.

It was one of the most dull Big Brother series, but the final night proved surprisingly entertaining and justice was done with all the first three (counting the twins as one) being bonny lads and lasses as Liam would say.
