Ohh MB fantasty football! I shall join both hopefully.

Bit late for mentioning this, but I've been reflecting on two recent national games - Team GB vs Senegal at the Olympics and the victory over Italy by the national team. I was at Old Trafford for the game against Senegal (Stretford end!!!) and as my best friend agrees, it was one of the worst games we've seen. Although Senegal were incredibly rough and played very dirty, there were opportunities wasted, unnecessary blunders made and a very obtuse and clumsy attempt to work as a team. The best thing about that match was the atmosphere from the crowd and my pictures!

However the Italy game was very different. It was a deserved win, England were brilliant and I was genuinely thrilled to watch us defeat the 2006 world cup champions. What has changed?

There are quite a few useful observations, not least being the fact that Roy is a far more suitable manager than Stuart! But what I think is important to realise is the fact that we're still relying on a lot of our older players. For the olympics, the team had to be under 23 minus three. And those three carried the team. The challenge is to get Cleverley and the rest of our rising stars to get up to the world class standard they need to be.

Well, they didnt just give him to Man U. Is it really any surprise though? RVP wanted out, Song has now gone to Barcelona and Arsnela look as though they could struggle this season. The fans have been crying out for Wenger to dip into the clubs funds for years now and he hasnt, all the while the squad has gotten weaker and weaker.

I know they didn't just give him to MU. As much trouble as they have with MU, you'd think they'd sell him elsewhere. The EPL has as much drama as General Hospital.

Everton was outstanding tonight. I think I might enjoy watching them this season.

Villa start the season as we mean to go on, struggling, falling to not-exactly-top-drawer opponents, and bidding desperately for lower mid-table obscurity and safety, or, perish the thought (but remember last season!) survival!

Ah, it's good to be back!

If you're going to support a Premiership side, why waste your time with one of the most mediocre teams around.

But .. but I don't support QPR!
Seriously, for a long time I wasn't into footy at all, then when it came time to choose a team to support, well I hated Man U, like Liverpool but that seemed too easy, and as it happened at the time a lot of the Irish team were in Villa (Paul McGrath, Andy Townsend and so on) so I thought sure why not, I'll go for them! They're neither hated enough for that hate to reflect on to me, nor loved so much that everyone would say I was jumping on a bandwagon.

Great idea!

Yeah.

Twenty-two years later, I'm still regretting that decision. Oh well, that's football for ya: you're not supposed to ENJOY supporting your team, after all! What? You ARE?? When did THIS happen! Of all the....
