Drama, drama, drama...

Christ alive, I’ve been gagging to write all day but I’ve had my pesky day job to deal with.  Grrrrr.

What a weekend eh?!   There’s about a million things I want to talk about, but technically I’m still at work, so I’ve got to keep it quick.

Okay, so we know how I feel about England winning the rugby - flamin' marvellous it was.  Although, I have been pulled up by one of my friends who rightly pointed out that if you’re not ‘pooped’ by the end of a match, then you’ve not being playing hard enough.  Fair point.  Although, there’s a difference between giving it your all and playing catch up.  I maintain that we need more to make an impact at the World Cup.

Next to my prediction of Arsenal vs Birmingham.  I did not see that coming!  I am most thrilled though, let me tell you. Not least since it allows me to post gems like this…

That’s what I love about finals, everything is at stake and anything could happen.  Liverpool have been involved in two epic finals (obviously the Champions League and ironically, in light of yesterday’s performance, against West Ham), so I know the feelings of euphoria that the Birmingham fans will have experienced in that 89^th minute.   

A weird part of me actually feels bad for Wenger, the little manager that could.  I look forward to reading yet more interviews where he is asked if he feels the pressure to win a tournament, and where his answer will be something to the tune of “but of course it is important to focus on ze next game and to get ze tree points, blah,blah, blah.” (Sarcasm fully intended.)

Arsenal’s keeper issue has only fuelled rumours linking Pepe Reina to the club.  Well I don’t need to tell you where you can stick that info.  Although, in truth, if he has to go this summer, then Arsenal is a lesser evil than Chelsea in my book.

Then there was the Cricket.  Ahhhh, the cricket.  As a British Asian, I never know whether to support England or India.  And with cricket like that, well, I don’t have to make a choice now do I?  Okay, so very little about me is actually Indian, but it’s difficult to detach yourself when a. they are awesome and b. they remind me of my Pops.  He’s not dead or anything, he just really likes Indian cricket!  Fortunately, they both played brilliantly, with Tendulkar setting the bar high and Strauss totting up an epic score.  I’m happy as Larry with that, really I am.  More of the same please, either way I’m a winner!

I’ve been putting it off, but it’d be poor form for me not to talk about West Ham’s 3-1 battering of my beloved Liverpool.  It’s worth pointing out that this is our first loss in 9 games, so things could be (and have been) much worse.  It’s the lack of consistency that we’re really going to have to remedy next season.  We just cannot fluctuate so drastically from one extreme to another.  Hopefully when our new signing is match fit, we’ll see a difference.  We better had for that kind of money! 

Lastly, I have to make a mention if the fact that Ashley Cole has shot someone.  I’m not sure what else I can say to convince you that this man is actually ridiculous, if that doesn't do the job then nothing will.  You honestly couldn't invent this stuff!  Bonkers.

Right, better do some work…
