It feels wrong to post about football today without mentioning Gary Speed. At aged 42, the Welsh national team's manager has been found dead in his home in Cheshire. It's a tragic loss, and one that has been marked with a flood of tributes on Twitter, from fans and players alike.

It's the tune of the summer and most definitely the tune for this years World Cup.

I have an odd fascination of horrific injuries to the body, bred - I suppose - from a natural curiosity of the human body. At the same time, this stuff really grosses me out. But I suppose it's true what they say, human curiosity knows no bounds. If you're weak stomached, I suggest not reading on.

A quick prediction post to summarise the football rush I always get at the end of the weekend. I should say, I'm a Chelsea supporter.
