Man Utd 2-0 Arsenal

An absolutely fantastic result for Manchester United!

Ruud VanNistelrooyI am a huge Manchester United fan, so as you can imagine I was absolutely delighted with this result. Beating our biggest rivals (note it’s not Liverpool anymore) is always nice, but stopping Arsenal’s unbeaten run added to my delight

Some say that the penalty should not have been given, but Ashley Cole brought Ronaldo down in the area later on in the game, which to me looked like a definite penalty. So it was balanced out in the end.

I’m surprised that there wasn’t a repeat performance of last season’s handbags from the Arsenal players, but I guess they learnt from their mistakes

Where do United go from here? Read Sir Alex Ferguson’s views.

Onwards and upwards I say - along the premiership table

    Swearing makes you impotent: official | The Register

    If this is true then chances are, putting together this blog has had more of effect on me than the odd loss of hair

    As crazy as the story sounds though, I have to admit that some of the women that live in the inner city who regularly use profanity (and smoke and drink lager, but let’s not get carried away), do have that masculine touch to them.

    Not in their sense of dress, but in their attitude. You only have to walk around the centre of the city and give a strange look to one of them to get a response something along the lines of “What you looking at?” or “I’ll bleedin’ burst ya!”.

    Anyway… personally I think everyone should try and use profanity as little as often.

    P.S I wonder if Wordpress has a bad word filter for the comments! I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough

  • Alternative Connections?

    Just after uploading the new style for this blog, I went to go about my daily routine of checking the forums I frequent for new posts, reading my email, and what not only to find that my broadband (DSL) connection was caput.

    You’d think that I’d have another connection setup to fall back on. Guess what? I didn’t!

    At the moment I’m on a free three month broadband trial. Because the trail was with the same company that provided me with my previous internet connection, I was required to cancel the account I had with them and start a new one. Ridiculous I know!

    So… being the nice guy I am, I cancelled the account while signing up for the trial. I never thought about the possibility of my brand spanking new (faster) internet connection failing on me. How naive was I?

    Suffice to say, as soon as my internet connection was back up and running I headed straight for the next best ISP and downloaded their internet connection setup software. I don’t plan on making the same mistake twice!

    So, as a word of caution to all you internet junkies…. make sure you have a backup connection setup, just in case.

  • The first of many?

    Hello everyone!

    I hope this blog finds you in good health

    This is my very first blog item. How cool is that? The big question is… will it also be the last? I sincerely hope not. Surely I have enough going on in my life to be able to post a second blog item, don’t you think?

    Well, we’ll have to wait and see won’t we?

    Till blog item #2
