Agony

So the story is, we're out...
I decided to take it upon myself to research the last time England won a penalty shoot-out.
It took me back to 1996. 16 Years ago since we last won a shoot-out!?
People will preach 'yeah well it's all about luck at shoot-outs', but if you're sole purpose in life was to play football, and you're in a game which has the possibility to go to shoot outs, you must practice them, surely?!
But then again, this time around you cannot blame anyone, which brings me to the next point of other ways to settle a game rather than a penalty shoot-out.
Sepp Blatter himself has put ideas such as Never-Ending Extra Time, or ADG (Attacker vs Defender and Goalkeeper, with 35 seconds to score a goal)
These seem just as pointless which question whether a replay could be brought into the equation?
But then again, what if its still a draw after another replay, and another?!
This will become more and more present after the introduction of Goal Line Technology.
Anyway i leave you with some heartbreak.

Hackney

This weekend provided the Hackney Weekend for Radio 1 and 1extra.
I am all for this 'festival' shall we call it, but it does show some form of perseverance leads to success, some of the worst areas in London being brought to life by a bit of companionship.
Jay-Z is headlining in the London Borough which 12 months ago was seiged by London Riots and theft, showing some sort of turn-around and that not all youths of today are hooligans.

FIN.

Euro Fever

EURO FEVER.
Any man across the country who doesn't watch England doesn't deserve the accolade 'man'
Seriously though can you preach for a man who doesn't watch football, yeah fair enough if you don't like the sport but it's all about the pride and the passion for following the English!
May i just point out, I've worn an England shirt for every game so far, WHERE IS THE PASSION?!
Not ONE other has shared this commitment. Disappointing.
Anyway, I leave you with my favourite player at the Euro's so far.

PEACE

Freshly Laid

No, it's not about a shit. My road has recently been re-laid and it is remarkably black compared to the weary pavements. I was just wondering how long these men work per day on an average. They started working a good 2 weeks ago. I saw them working once. PATHETIC. Rant over.

A True Hero

Most people know of Fabrice Muamba because of the story around his cardiac arrest at the Spurs game. To me, it takes a lot of courage from him to attend tonights game, which is against Spurs, and i thought to myself how the world of sport would've been affected if Fabrice would not have made it. To me, he is a hero and to come out the other side of being dead for 78 minutes, and doing an interview at the reverse fixture of the game he affectively died at, takes a lot of guts. Not a fan of Bolton myself, but for Fab, i'm hoping they win tonight. Full recovery soon Fab.

Spyro

22:18 seems pretty late to go on a bullshit blog and let my feelings known but i don't care because i am an individual. Today i discovered that my Dad is receiving a pay rise. It came to my attention that i need to run about the house finding miscellaneous objects that need updating or clothes i so desperately need. I then realised my parents are tighter than a couple of Jewish bankers and i am allowed pennies a week purely for food and water. WHAT IS THIS SHIT. I now see my brother licking my mothers arse (literally) and asking for a new phone. HE IS 11 YEARS OLD AND HAS A BLACKBERRY. When i was twelve i got Spyro on my PS2, i would've got an erection if i could've at that age. Modern times depress me and i'm only 17. Anyway i'm going to sleep. Farewell, i leave you with the dragon of my youth. HE IS A LEGEND.
