Hero of the Week: Bob Geldof: This week it was revealed that Sir Bob is to get the Freedom of the City of Dublin. The only question is, why did it take so long for this to happen?

Villains of the Week: Bush administration: The way they have handled the situation down in New Orleans as a result of Hurricane Katrina has been, in my opinion, shambolic and disgraceful.

Funniest Moment of the Week: Pink Cat: Narrowly beating out the folks at the Love Ulster site, is the story of the pink cat.

Dunce of the Week: Sven Goran Eriksson: 4-5-1 against a team with one victory in four years? Dunce.

Luckiest Person of the Week: Raymond Domenech: The French boss is lucky he has a player like Thierry Henry who can conjure up a goal out of nothing.

My favourite moment of the week: The fury of English fans: As disappointed as I am that Ireland lost to France, I've still found the English reaction to their defeat to NI most amusing! That's the English for you - they hype their athletes up to epic proportions and when they fail to deliver, they hammer them!

Quote of the Week: "So it should come as no surprise if I tell you that come Wednesday night, I will be cheering not only for an England win, but an emphatic England win; a trouncing, a rout, a spanking, a tanking, an embarrassment (but not a national embarrassment, of course)" - Robin Livingstone

I'm guessing he wasn't a happy camper on Wednesday.
