Booze isn't fun

What a pile of old bollocks. Read in the newspaper today that tv adverts that advertise alcohol in an amusing or encouraging way are to be banned. That's the John Smith's/Peter Kay efforts and the WKD ads.

What a pile of crap, why not ban being born for fucks sake. People surely are able to make their own choices every now or then.

Masters, Primed a beauty?

Forgot to include how nicely poised the world of golf is heading into 2005's majors. Woods regained no.1 spot in the world yesterday, pipping Mickelson (last years master!) to the Doral classic in Florida, whilst over in Europe (or Dubai!) Ernie played well to oick up a W there. Vigay has been playing well as other big names Americans are, Monty was in the hunt in Dubai and
hopefully we will see a fantastic week. European hopes appear brighter with the likes of Owen, Donald and Howell playing well and many plying their trade in the US this Spring. Bring on the Azalias and Peter Allis's faux-pars!

Weekend Blues

Strange old weekend, once again all football was cancelled, I know it snowed a bit last week but it really wasn't anything to write home about and Hadley's park should have been able to cope! I think it was more strange with the fact BBC had some sport on it even if it were a poor mans Rugby. Sunday's two close but uninspiring games allowed Jonathan Edwards and Jerry
Guscott to once again castigate the poor skills in the Northern Hemisphere. I kind of like the fact they are using national television as a soap box, Davies appears at times suicidal that people haven't the basic skills he possessed. I get the feeling professionalism isn,t all it cracked up to be
in his eyes.

Good weekend for Chelsea and West Brom, Norwich out of it now and it is 2 from 3 unless Pompy get caught up in it. Fulham too are perilously close to the Championship abyss. Back to the Champions League this week, all talk of Chelsea-Barca and the folks at ITV have got it live. Could be a few freeview boxes pulling up with cramp though as United venture to the San Siro at the same time trying to overturn the1-0 deficit from Carrolls blunder at Old Trafford on the ITV2. I can't call the Chelsea game, think united will go out, Arsenal too although only after giving it a good go and Liverpool too will scrape through, they are a bit of a dark horse saving their best for Europe and their last two performances have a destiny about them.

F1 got underway and it all looks quite happy with the new regulations, it will be interesting what a normal climatic hour of qualifying will do. No one had to push too hard on Sunday am and how long will the engine rules stay in place after BAR so readily manipulated them.

Finally, good weekend for Tennis (yawn) and reasonable for Athletics, that hall in Madrid looks the part, the millennium dome has the promise to be a similar building for us, let it host these things, the capitals answer to the NEC.

Cup Replays

Apparently it was all about the romance of the cup last night, and to be honest, maybe the romance wasn’t there in terms of results, but all three diddy teams definitely stuck it up the big uns at certain points. Whilst Hansen was whining about the lack of goals the Blades-Gunners match was superb entertainment, if only because in the absence of Terence H, Freddie
Ljungberg decided to throw his toys out of the pram, when really he was at fault a lot of the time himself. Exciting to the end though, really made my night, didn’t want extra time to end. Sack shoot-outs, extra time should continue with golden goal after the 30 minutes, swapping halves every 15 minutes. Moment of the match, apart from Paddy Kelly not diving to his right in shoot-out due to injury has got to be Pascal Cygan’s terrible attempt on goal, Shinned it good and proper.

Blogging the way forward

Thought I'd blog from work, not too bad, very tired, working hard and looking forward to Arsenal on TV tonight even without any centre-forwards!
