In 1966 England won the football World Cup. According to the autobiography of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the key characters in the success, one of the reasons for their success was the approach the players to give everything even in training. This determination to give 100% brings its rewards – people are not attracted […]
Read More Whatever You Do Give It Your AllToday (Thursday) I came across a valuable lesson of God in appreciating things from a different perspective – through re-evaluations. My dear friend Steve Wood is a Liverpool fan. You will be aware that I too support Liverpool, but this brother really does worship Liverpool Football Club. I am but an amateur in comparison to […]
Read More Re-EvaluationsGood. Those 24 hours were necessary to get a better grip on what I was going to rant on yesterday. I love football. I’m not ashamed to say that. It has been a glorious expression of many of the better qualities of life to me and has not been so much of an escape as […]
Read More Time, Team and TrustI don’t know what it is with me recently but I’m finding that my writing groove can pop up late at night. It’s almost 1am as I start writing this and I’m sure I’ll cat at least the beginning of Criminal Intent when it starts at 1am. Here I am though having had me late […]
Read More Life: In It To Win It – Not Just To Avoid DefeatSo January’s over and it has been an interesting way to start 2009.

Although it makes me all the more eager to see Stoke get relegated because that’s just the sad kinda guy I am. Anyway following the performance before […]

Read More Spot Of Late Night Blogging Before Bed MethinksJust some notes that I didn’t manage to put up last night for your reading pleasure. Here’s something of interest worth checking in terms of the top 50 goals in Premiership history. JC Ryle is someone I have a great deal of respect for and his book on Holiness is a landmark in my appreciation […]
Read More CD Notes From Last NightHaving a chat with a good colleague at work – just discussing fishing and how pointless it is to spend all that time to catch fish only to throw it away again! Not even to eat the thing! Other pointless pursuits I highlighted included F1 and the inanity of going round a track in a […]
Read More Fishing For The Journey’s EndI was walking along to withdraw some money to get some gas and electricity for our crib – we’re on a card system you see so we have to pay as you go. As I was walking along it occurred to me that with it already being the end of July then there’s only 152 […]
