Lucky Number 7!

The future's bright, the future's red.  

I'm completely obsessed with watching footage of Raheem Sterling - Liverpool's 16 year old wonder-kid.  He's the talk of the town right now and rightly so.  Whilst the Premiership has been infinitely entertaining this season, I have had a feeling of impending doom with regards to the future of my beloved LFC.  Until now that is.

Seeing this kind of home grown talent enthuses me no end.  Perhaps I'm being naively optimistic and blindly loyal, but this kid (and his ability to dance with the ball) have restored my faith in the mighty Pool.   Maybe we will win the league next season after all, eh?! ;-)  

If you haven't seen him, then I'd advise that you do so now.  Prepare yourself for a little bit of awesome:



I don't like Andrew Strauss, oh no... I love him!

Watching interviews with Andrew Strauss last night made me appreciate how grateful I am for articulate sports people, who are able to admit when things just aren't good enough.  The fact that he's openly vented his frustration is strangely pleasing.  I'd much rather that than be fobbed off, which happens all too frequently for my liking.  Our boys have said that they need to improve their one day form, especially in light of the recent series down under, and I for one look forward to seeing how they develop their form in this World Cup!


In other news

Yesterday there was a documentary on the beeb about Caster Semenya.  I'd never heard her speak before, have to admit, I was a little shocked.  I don't know the ins and outs of the case, but it seems that all she wants to do is run.  That kind of passion, that makes you continue against all adversity, is something that I will never cease to admire.
