Australian blogger Miles is probably still smarting from England’s triumph in the Ashes at the weekend, but at least he’s got somewhere to vent his fury.

OmniBlog’s football site OmniFootball has been reviewed by independent news site Soccerlens.
“OmniFootball is in essence a big RSS feed for football,” they say. “That means you’ll get updates from club specific blogs whenever they add a new post. No more going back to each site and realising that there hasn’t been a new post in [...]
