						<description>&lt;p&gt;The outcome of a bid by West Ham to move into the Olympic Stadium should be revealed today. The club's plan is favourite among four being considered by the London Legacy Development Corporation board. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key factor is whether West Ham are prepared to pay an extra &amp;#163;25m towards the &amp;#163;160m cost of converting the stadium from its 80,000 Olympics size to a 60,000-capacity arena, rather than the &amp;#163;15m they have offered.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;West Ham have denied that their striker Andy Carroll was involved in a physical confrontation with a photographer in Dublin while on a team Christmas trip.&lt;/p&gt;

			<title>The Paralympic Games arrive in London!</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Olympic fever returns to London this evening as we welcome our Paralympians in what&amp;#8217;s set to be another spectacular opening ceremony at the Olympic park in Stratford.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sold-out ceremony will begin this evening as the Paralymic flame enters the stadium after a whirlwind 24 hour torch relay which began last night. The flame was lit in Stoke Mandeville, the spiritual home of the modern Paralympic games, and is currently making its way across the capital passing various landmarks along the way.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Britain&amp;#8217;s greatest Paralympian, Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson will carry the torch through Trafalgar square as one of the hundreds of torchbearers taking part in the build-up ahead of tonight&amp;#8217;s ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The content of tonight&amp;#8217;s show, entitled Enlightenment, has been kept a closely-guarded secret, but rumours abound that it will feature Professor Stephen Hawking, a troupe of disabled acrobats alongside 3,000 volunteers. As the name suggests, it is thought that it was focus on the Enlightenment period of history between 1550 and 1720. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tickets for the Paralympic events have been selling extremely well so far, and it&amp;#8217;s expected that this year&amp;#8217;s games will be the first in their history to sell out. The Olympic Games certainly inspired the hearts and minds of millions of people from across the world, so here&amp;#8217;s hoping the Paralympics can do the same!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bet770.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/29/the-paralympic-games-arrive-in-london?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Swansea kick off the Premier League season</title>
			<link>http://bet770.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/23/swansea-kick-off-the-premier-league-seas?blog=1</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;The premier league season got off to a flying start last weekend, with goals being scored left, right and centre, and only one match ending in a 0-0 draw. Arguably the most exciting game of the season&amp;#8217;s opening weekend was the Swansea vs. Queens Park Rangers, where we saw the Swans defeat QPR in a mammoth 5-0 victory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last season Swansea became the first Welsh team to enter the premiership, but there was a lot of pre-season doubt circulating as to whether Swansea could repeat their previous successes. It was the first match for three new Swansea players, as well as new manager Michael Laudrup after Brendan Rogers&amp;#8217; recent move to Liverpool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, Swansea didn&amp;#8217;t disappoint as Michu scored his first girl in the 8th minute of his debut match for the Swans, and then another in the second half. Nathan Dyer scored a further two goals, with the fifth and final goal scored by Scott Sinclair in the 81st minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It was a perfect start to the season for Swansea, but only time will tell if the Welsh team can maintain their performance as they face West Ham on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bet770.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/23/swansea-kick-off-the-premier-league-seas?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>Fabrice Muamba retires from professional football</title>
			<link>http://bet770.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/15/fabrice-muamba-retires-from-professional?blog=1</link>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba has today announced that he will be retiring from professional football effective immediately. &lt;br /&gt;
The announcement comes five months after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch during an FA cup match against Tottenham Hotspur in March. Muamba collapsed on the pitch and his heart stopped for a total of 78 minutes. On-site medics were able to come to his aid, and his heart started beating again after 15 defibrillator shocks from paramedics and doctors at the London Chest Hospital.&lt;br /&gt;
Muamba did have hopes to make a return to his football career, but made the decision to retire on the advice of his medical team following a number of consultations since the incident in March.&lt;br /&gt;
In a statement issued on the club&amp;#8217;s website, Muamba said &amp;#8220;While the news is devastating, I have much to be thankful for.&amp;#8221; &lt;br /&gt;
Muamba had visited a heart specialist in Belgium last week, and it is on the basis of advice from his cardiologist that he has been forced to retire.&lt;br /&gt;
 Speaking about the announcement, Bolton manager has spoken out in support of Muamba, saying &amp;#8220;We have spoken with Fab and he knows we will always support him in whatever he wants to do and that we will always be here for him.&amp;#8221;&lt;br /&gt;
The announcement from Muamba comes just a few days before the Championship season begins on Saturday with Bolton facing Burnley in their first match.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;item_footer&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://bet770.com/blog/index.php/2012/08/15/fabrice-muamba-retires-from-professional?blog=1&quot;&gt;Original post&lt;/a&gt; blogged on &lt;a href=&quot;http://b2evolution.net/&quot;&gt;b2evolution&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

			<title>London 2012: Out with a Bang!</title>

						<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday evening, the World watched as we said a tearful goodbye to the Olympic Games for another 4 long years. London 2012 has been hailed worldwide as one of the sleekest, biggest, and most meticulously planned Games in recent history. London did not crumble under the pressure as so many cynics had anticipated, and Sunday&amp;#8217;s closing ceremony was the star-studded icing on the top of a fine Olympic cake.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In what was predominantly a musical event, across the 3 hour show, we were taken on a journey through British music from the last 60 years, including George Michael, The Who, Ray Davies of the Kinks, Muse and teen heartthrobs One Direction. The show was arguably highlighted by an energetic (albeit rather short) Spice Girls reunion, where the 5 girls performed two of their biggest hits: &amp;#8220;Wannabe&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Spice Up Your Life&amp;#8221; from the tops of personalised black cabs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further highlights included a tribute to British fashion which involved supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and David Gandy, Annie Lennox singing from a pirate ship and comedian Russell Brand performing The Beatles&amp;#8217; &amp;#8220;I am the Walrus&amp;#8221; from a psychedelic school bus, which soon exploded into a terrifying inflatable octopus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
While it&amp;#8217;s fair to say that the closing ceremony by no means matched the visual spectacle of the Danny Boyle&amp;#8217;s opening ceremony (were that even possible), there was certainly something for everyone on Sunday, and even the strongest of cynics would struggle to end the evening disappointed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rounding off the ceremony, London organising committee Chief Sebastian Coe said, &amp;#8220;We lit the flame, and we lit up the world,&amp;#8221; giving the perfect evaluation to what has surely been the biggest British success story of recent times. Now until the Paralympics kick off on August 29th, we&amp;#8217;re all dealing with the post-Olympic blues and back to wondering what to watch on TV and complaining about the weather. Oh, to be British.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br />On Sunday evening, the World watched as we said a tearful goodbye to the Olympic Games for another 4 long years. London 2012 has been hailed worldwide as one of the sleekest, biggest, and most meticulously planned Games in recent history. London did not crumble under the pressure as so many cynics had anticipated, and Sunday&#8217;s closing ceremony was the star-studded icing on the top of a fine Olympic cake.
<br /><br />
In what was predominantly a musical event, across the 3 hour show, we were taken on a journey through British music from the last 60 years, including George Michael, The Who, Ray Davies of the Kinks, Muse and teen heartthrobs One Direction. The show was arguably highlighted by an energetic (albeit rather short) Spice Girls reunion, where the 5 girls performed two of their biggest hits: &#8220;Wannabe&#8221; and &#8220;Spice Up Your Life&#8221; from the tops of personalised black cabs. <br />
