Stoddart plots F1 return in 2008

BBC SPORT Motorsport Formula One
Fantastic news. The character and passion that Paul Stoddart brought to Formula One was brilliant to see and it was a sad day for the sport when he left, although I accept many in the sport may not have shared those feelings. Personally, I'd love to see the Minardi name back with him again.

BBC SPORT Football My Club Chelsea
Two words - ha! HA!
Nice to see a cheat get his comeuppance. The way he got Reina sent off against Liverpool a few weeks back was dreadful (although sadly diving is all too common in the sport these days of course).
