    I feel old…

    *Sigh* my back is hurting and I don’t have any pills at work, looks like I’ll be onsite in 2 different locations later this week, so I’ve gotta get it back to normal before then. On a brighter note: I watched ‘London Boulevard‘ last night – what an awesome film! great casting (Anna Friel FTW) , superb soundtrack, and once again proof that British film-makers make the best gangster movies πŸ™‚ Saturday is Wales vs England in the Euro 2012 qualifiers…it will be interesting to see how Speed plays Bale for Wales – and how England cope with him. EDIT: […]

    Les Bleus…

    All that ranting…and WordPress stole my post 😐 Basically, I’m not too happy…I’ve never seen a ‘squad’ not get along with each other since I was 3. France, LOOK at the quality you have, please don’t ever go to a World Cup Final with a coach who’s already said he’s fucking off, and a squad he picked who don’t even talk to each other. I said from the start of the finals, that IF France get out of the group, they’ll be good to watch…doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen now huh? My l’il sis was working in the Tudor […]

    And we end on a high

    Great game! Crouch scored twice, Wright-Phillips got one in between those to give England a 3-0 win at Wembley πŸ™‚ This being England’s 499th international win – we play Brazil next month…could that be our landmark 500th win? I’ll grudgingly admit that Beckham coming on did liven things up (and he got man of the match) – but if I could shave today, so should he have 😐 I must admit though – Belarus looked very tidy, some nice passing, but they were troubled by the sheer pace of England. Could have been more goals too – Milner hit the […]

    Happy days!

    Even though England are (as I type) 1-0 down to Ukraine in the World Cup qualifiers, I’ve had a great day πŸ™‚ Had a lunch date today – and I think I did ok…by that I mean, I remembered where I parked the car and didn’t do my pirate impression (well, it’s not talk like a pirate day is it?). She also seemed to have a good time, so we’ll see where it goes eh? πŸ™‚ Preparing dinner for tomorrow now – boeuf bourguignon. The challenge (for me anyway), is to make it at least half as well as my […]

    YOU BEAUTIES!

    What. A. Fucking. Game! πŸ™‚ 5-1 Absolutely beautiful – completely pwned Croatia πŸ™‚ and deservedly Lennon got man of the match. Through to the finals with 2 games to spare – even Capello was smiling πŸ™‚ And me? I’M FUCKING DELIRIOUS! πŸ™‚ Not much more I can add without sounding, well, like every other England fan πŸ™‚ well, apart from I wish Defoe had scored too, but when he came on, Croatia spent so much time making sure he got nowhere near the ball (well, he IS the super sub), they made the mistake of letting a rampant England side […]

    Football update

    With a record (Ha!) of just 2 clean sheets from 18 starts, it seems Gomes’ is no longer the first choice goalkeeper for Spurs. Apparently ‘Arry has recalled Ben Alnwick (aged 21) from his loan spell at wherever. This makes me think – just how bad can the reserve keeper (Cesar) actually be? with Blackburn coming to the Lane on Saturday, our old ‘keeper Robinson makes his first visit back – and how he must be grinning. He’s found his form again, and must be laughing his socks off at the hapless Gomes. Don’t get me wrong – Gomes has […]

    Friday AGAIN already?

    It only seems like a week since the last one… Had yet another run to Heathrow last night to pickup the boss – seems like I live there nowadays (OK, slight exaggeration, I’ve been there 3 times in 3 weeks). Should be a good weekend – well, aren’t they all? I’m definitely going to try to save some money – as I mentioned, I need to buy new stuff (especially a bed…shu’up bu’er) but the weekends tend to call to me: “Drink beer snee, drink MORE beer…” Well, we’ll see… A sterling performance from England against the Croats on Wednesday […]
