BBC news Update:


A weekend of furious sports action around the globe had prompted this update.
And of the persistent whining of the man they call poh.

Venus (above) Williams sealed her fourth Wimbledon title in straight sets. She was seeded 23 before the competition but really lifted her game to win the title. Her expression of sheer joy in the picture above reminds us that even sportswoman are human afterall.

Federer won the men's title. No real surprises there, but his record of five in a row matched that of the legendary Bjorn Bork. Let's not forget the man is only still 25.

Kimi Raikkonen eclipsed Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone as Ferrari upped the ante for this year's title race. Next up, German Grand Prix. I fancy Nick Hiedfeld for the victory there.

The man they (I) call the beast is in the headlines much this week. Against Peru in the Copa America, he came in as a 2nd half substitute to annihilate the Peruvians (allusion to next article). I like him as a player and think he is fabulous. Please don't go to United, Tevez. It is Anfield where you can join Mascherano and be Kop legends.

Liverpool has reportedly made a £10m bid for Ryan Babel (above). I have not seen this youngster play before, but I do know that he is highly rated. His pace is what we need. For your information, Liverpool submitted squad numbers yesterday, with Torres getting the number 9 and Voronin the number 10. What surprised me was that only two goalies had numbers - David Martin as our second choice? Oh God ... please...
