So I was going to write a blog entry about this match, when I realised the whole thing was rather uninspiring and I find myself unable to make any thoughts flow. Here are some bulletpoints instead, in the order that they came to me.1. Ryan Taylor is much better at corners and free kicks than anyone who took one. I know he's knackered and probably woul...

So, shiny new season, pre-match nerves, stupid 5.30 kick-off and lots of spuds with a goldfish on the bench, so really it should have been fish and chips, but never mind.To the game then, and well, not the best I've seen. Had its moments of course, Steven Taylor chucking himself to the ground to head the ball to Krul being the one that sticks out the...

Okay, so I saw some of this one on TV. Not all, so here is my general match experience from last Sunday.Plan was to go to the $ky House (technically Virgin, but it gets $ky Sports, and otherwise known as my grandparents' house) for around kick off, but I got out of the shower and felt so ill that I had to lie down and curl up for a while, so...

I went to my grandparents' house for tea on Saturday and channel-hopped because they didn't think they could get ESPN, but they do and in HD and everything, so here are ramblings.Well then. Lack of Dembas, Tiote and Colo is nice... or, well no. Because Perch. Also, Shola is captain. This, I find bizarre. Quite a few near misses in the first 15-20...

Greetings from the same settee as the Liverpool game came from. I'm not there now, but I watched the match there. The $ky commentators managed to annoy me before we kicked off today (okay, not quite today any more but never mind) by referring to the match as Newcastle v United. Tossers.We took to the pitch in kit which had had Virgin Money scribb...

I don't know why writing up the televised games never occurred to me before, but there you go.Match started and we proceeded to be rubbish, although it was nice to hear the 'Speedo' chants on eleven minutes are continuing. We were outplayed for another ten minutes, then Cabaye scored off Ba's head and a scouse shoulder, but I can't rem...

I went to the match on Saturday for the first time this season and Pat said I have to blog about it, so here it is.The matchday experience started when Pat took me to a pub (Three Bulls Heads, I think) to meet some people. I'm not entirely sure who they all were, but it was very nice *hi people**waves*.We went to Shearer's next to meet Nige, Cade...

So, we trundled along to the last game of the season, vaguely hopeful about points and suchlike. The cash machine was in a funny mood but the Metro ticket machine wasn't swallowing money this time, which was nice. I think they only do it on Thursdays.The first half was all lovely and stuff, with Steven Taylor showing that we should clone him and play...

Or something similar. Well that's what everyone was singing, anyway. So. I went to a football match there yesterday. We have two Ameobis, and Chelsea have a shit one (I believe they call him Torres; again, crowd's opinion).The day began way too early because the Metros only run every half hour at that time on a Sunday, and the trains take longer....

Okay, this thing keeps deleting stuff so I'm hacked off with it, but I might use it for actual blogging eventually. Or Sunday. Sunday is eventually, and I'll actually have something to say then, depressing as it'll probably be, and not at all biased about how those cheating Russians totally robbed us. I was only happy about this bit because th...
