I still can't believe Rafa lost today. I thought I wasn't going to dwell on it too much but it seems I can't help myself now. Credit to Soderling who played some excellent shots and never cracked when people expected him to, but Rafa was not at the races at all today. Just hitting it far too short too often. Such a surprise after the way he ( Read more... )

As of now, AFP reports that Arshavin has signed for £12m. Here's hoping, all the news seems to be like a pendulum today.

Ah, the Australian Open. Friday's semi was pretty unbearable, seeing as I was at my desk at work. So I was restricted to just flicking back and forth at the BBC Sport website and bashing F5 every so often. At one point I was ( Read more... )

Well, sitting here in Arsenal shirt, bandana and wristbands (well, what other way does a gal have to show her support for Rafa Nadal, eh?) awaiting the tennis. Apparently it's not on the radio, although I can probably live without our always very biased commentators fawning over Andy Murray as if he's the best tennis player since sliced bread. Fawn ( Read more... )

I hope everybody out there is well and OK :) Although you've all probably given up on reading me, if you hadn't a long time ago! Thanks tomiss_lollo for giving me a nudge.

Well, I haven't blogged in a long time, but I suppose the best way for me to recap is through all the amazing sporting events that I have witnessesd/attended in the last 6 months or so.

I'll ( Read more... )

What a horrid weekend for the Arsenal. That tackle was just awful and I'm so gutted for Eduardo, not only will he miss the rest of the season in England but of course, Euro 2008. I was so looking forward to seeing him play in the summer. I was just so depressed during Match of the Day, these things trascend the scoreline when someone gets so badly ( Read more... )

After I saw a wondrous old repeat of Taggart last night from 1987, full of product placement, reasonable gore, and yes, Ford Orions as unmarked police cars; I decided on a random whim to see if there were any DVD boxsets.  Well, there were a few, but after browsing a few more random boxsets, I found out that ER Season 9 is out for R2 - on 29th of ( Read more... )

I had a good week off last week.  Although I do enjoy my work and the company of my colleagues, it's good to be away for a little bit.  Especially as the summer appeared briefly and also because my Nan came to stay.  She's funnier and madder than ever.  Gaviscon not taken with a spoon, but drunk straight from the bottle.  Random abuse of ( Read more... )

Well, I'll say one thing, the Carling Cup Final was entertaining.  I don't think that we were wrong to play the kiddies, because it would have been wrong for them to get us that far and then put the first team out for the final.  And good for Theo scoring, and it's nice to know that those kids held the multi-million pund Chelsea for so long.  I ( Read more... )

I started my Christmas shopping today, and all in my lunch break and after work! Also treated myself to PoTC 2(only because, though, buying it in Woolies with another chart DVD, which was a pressie made it less than a tenner). Hurrah. Will treat myself to that at the weekend, methinks. Savvy ( Read more... )

Happy 5th November to anyone who has been hearing fireworks for the last week! LOL. It should be noted that dear ol Guy only tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament on one day, and didn't try and make it a weekly sesh!

Saying that, our local park as always had a fabulous display last night, so much colour and vibrancy. It all seems to have died ( Read more... )
