I remember being a young lad growing up when Kevin Keegan was first manager of Newcastle United.  The few seasons after we got promoted into the Premiership we were playing some of the best attacking football, which led Sky Sports to call us “The Entertainers”  Players like Beardsley, Albert, Ginola, Ferdinand, Aprilla, Shearer being involved in some cracking games! I’m sure everyone old enough will remember the first 4-3 against Liverpool at Anfield, and the subsequent game the season after that also finsihed 4-3.  Last night I thought we saw glimpses of it again.  We passed the ball round briliantly at times and made Coventry do a hell of a lot of running after the ball.  Lets hope we can continue our improvement this season going into this weekend game against Arsenal at the Emirates

Last night went to the gym, and worked chest, but this morning I’m feeling it more in my shoulder! Woke up in the middle of the night with a pain that felt like someone had stabbed me Think I’ll give it a miss tonight, and see how I feel, as I did feel it getting a bit niggly last night towards the end.  My dad phoned me just before half time with Newcastle coasting 2-0, and then Morrison went and popped the ball in the top corner.  His first words were, “who’s the team in the purple, cos it damn sure aint Newcastle” To which we both chuckled, that then turned to me turning the air blue for a minute He did the same just after they scored with the time on the clock reading 90+4!! Good old Micky Owen came off the bench to grab the winner with his only chance! So thats 2 goals in about 40 minutes of football for the lad   Spidey is looking like an immense signing by Keegan, and Pot Noodle head seems to be settling in well enough   Lets hope this aint a false dawn for the Toon!!!

A while ago, I used to buy food from the cob wagon, and used to nip away from my desk, and I used to come back to find a big bite taken out of it! Maddsy always claimed it was a big rat, but it was that quick that he could never get a picture!! Well anyway I bought a bag of crisps this morning, and turned my head and half a packet was gone!!!  This was the culprit….

As promised here are 2 pics I took from the other day with my perspex window in! Not sure if you can see the damage they did with what looks like it could have been a screwdriver

Not overly impressed

So this weekend was quite a nice yet relaxing one.  Met up with loads of people I’d not seen for a while, including many family members too, which was brilliant.

anyhow, went to football on Friday, and in “Team Red” was me, Coop, Tom, Phil, John, Ollie and Smithy against the rest.  SHOULD have been a complete mis-match, but after only a few minutes we were 3 goals to nil down which may have been to my defending but hey-ho   In the end we ended up winning, but not before a few comical moments.  One involving John shouting “Put it in the mixer” To which I turned round and asked “who the fuck said that gay little PUT IT IN THE MIXER” To which everyone started laughing at him, but then Tom had the ball right in the corner of the pitch, and we proceeded to play one-twos all the way down the pitch, until in a tired screech i shouted “Tom” in what can only be described by Troy as a “Very gay way”  Didn’t matter cos I still scored   After football, Me, Tom, Phil and Troy nipped back to the pub, with it being the last week Tom could make it to football, as he was moving down to Kent with his missus and needs to sort his accommodation out and that.  Had a right laugh once inside the pub, cos for some reason Phil wanted to sit outside where it was getting bloody cold   Got home after a shandy or two, and felt fucked   All that running about had made me quite dehydrated, and the lager on top just made me feel quite merry   Spent the night chatting to folks on msn, and watching the odd film or two

OK so I’ve neglected this for about 3 weeks, and wanna start using it again! Altho as per usual I Have not done a great deal

First of all Happy Birthday to our Lew.  Getting on a bit now son

It’s not been the most interesting 3 weeks I’ll admit.  Mainly it’s been work ~> Gym ~> Home and chill out sort of thing during the week, then pop over to my mum and dads at the weekend and that.  Also been out down Liquid once or twice, and chilled out near the DJ box with Pete.
