.....and then I woke up to this

SECOND TEST, ADELAIDE, DAY FIVE:
Australia 513 & 168-4 beat England 551-6 dec & 129 by six wickets

Australia won the second Ashes Test by six wickets and went 2-0 up in the series after bowling England out for 129 on day five in Adelaide.

England lost nine wickets for 60 in 43 overs, with Shane Warne taking 4-49 and key batsmen playing some poor shots.

Chasing 168 to win, Ricky Ponting (49) and Michael Hussey (61no) shared a third-wicket stand of 83 in 16 overs.

Ponting and Damien Martyn fell in quick succession but Michael Clarke joined Hussey to win with three overs left.

No team in history has lost after declaring on a higher total than England's 551-6 batting first in a Test.

Staggering. My football team is shit. My cricket team is shit. Hasn't exactly been the greatest start to a month. Boro at home tonight. If we dont score at least 5 goals, I plan to riot.

About Rumourwhores

Welcome to The Rumourwhore; Blog and forum.

This is the blog (obviously) which houses our entries and news items. Even though I post about Tottenham, we tend to get guest bloggers now and again who contribute to the site, giving everyone a break from my rants about another Tottenham transitional season.

The Message Board is the hub of banter and discussion and the usual tripe of 'my team is better than yours'.

Sign-up, log-in, and join in with the larfs and larks of the disillusioned, the arrogant and the doomed. And yes, we hate Chelsea as good as any other website out there.

So, fancy being a part of this unique community? Of course you do, you slut.

A bit of blurb about the forum......

Rumourwhores began as an exodus of like-minded folk from a rather popular footie forum. Having outgrew that place; we ventured into the wilderness of the Interweb and decided to set up home by creating a new place to laugh at each other’s mis-fortunes.

The idea of calling the place ‘Rumourwhores’ was inspired by the ‘In the Know’ characters who claim to have inside knowledge on football clubs and post their rather cryptic clues of yet to be announced transfers and rumours. Thus leading to countless ‘we are about to sign XXX’ type threads (96.7% of which turn out to be players who nearly joined Spurs) appearing on forums and message boards all over the Internet.

Our Ethos

The net is a wonderful tool for gossip, making the backpages of the tabloids literally yesterdays news. Rumourwhores captures that philosophy and ethos and runs naked through the streets with it.

We know that there are already many football message boards out there. And some of them are pretty good. Others less decent. And others pretty woeful. Not suggesting for a second our board is paved with gold pixels, but our aim is keep the standard here firmly above mid-table and edging towards a Champions League position.

Who are we kidding? The place is a mess.

Sign-up and either indulge with the rest of us degenerates or laugh in our faces.
