I’d have liked to have gone to this game, it being a local one, but sadly, finances didn’t allow, so it was good old Online Footy again for me. The starting line-up was unchanged from the one that beat Liverpool 3-0 so I was cautiously optimistic of getting a result – though I had warned [...]
We’ve watched several of the World Cup games including quite a few that didn’t involve England – and it’s certainly been a strange tournament so far. Some big teams have gone already (France, Italy…) and we’ve seen some of the world’s best footballers missing chances and mis-passing the ball. I do think this ball, coupled [...]
In keeping with my mood at the moment, I spent Saturday watching a LOT of TV! (Unheard of for me.) In the morning, I watched The Trooping of the Colour, exchanging texts with mum as she was watching it too of course. It always amazes me when they say that many of the men have [...]
Just before the bank holiday weekend I found out that Billy was making me a cricket widow for the duration, and that my colleague and I were swapping work days the following week, meaning I had the Tuesday off work too. Hmmm, what to do with the extra time? Sadly, everything that needs doing around [...]
Our very last game of the season was away to West Ham – a game which potentially could have involved City battling for 4th place and the Hammers fighting to avoid relegation. However, these two things had been settled in the previous games so both teams could pretty much relax and play football. Technically, City [...]
On Sunday, Raji, Stephen and I watched the Carling Cup final together and I have to say, it was a thoroughly enjoyable match. I was naturally hoping Villa would win – for Dunnie as well as for ABU, and was delighted when Vidic gave away a penalty in just 4 minutes. What none of us [...]
As our game away at Stamford Bridge was on the Saturday lunch time, I rushed around in the morning, getting things done so that I could sit and watch the match on TV. Raji was off that day, so he watched with me, and Stephen joined us too about half an hour in. I was [...]
Still catching up after being offline for a while, so I’m putting all the sports stuff together as I know this is mainly on here for ME (as my own record) and is not very interesting for most others to read. DARTS: Two weeks ago we played The Sun Inn at Acomb, away and my [...]
Although I hadn’t been able to watch the other games in the U-21′s Euro competition, I had been keeping up with results and wishing them success. However, I DID manage to watch the semi-final against Sweden, whilst at mum’s and we were SO glad we’d been able to see it. WHAT a game! In the [...]
I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since I last blogged. Life seems to be running away with me again. (Does it ever NOT?) Billy and I watched the England football team in a boring 6 – 0 win over Andorra. Yes. Boring. Somehow it was a very tame game but a good run-out for [...]
