So you’ve got the idea that today is my birthday and later on I’ll share some more about that. For the time being, I want to put on the record how grateful I am for the friends that have helped me in this my 33rd year of existence. Unlike many years in the past, the […]
Read More A Word For A FriendI just spent the evening in the company of my wife whilst watching Japan take on and comfortably beat Denmark in their last group match in World Cup 2010. I love watching football with Authrine anyway, but there was something about the match today which took her to a whole other level of engagement with […]
Read More It’s Good To Talk – It’s Good To Tweet – It’s Good To TextYeah it was last Saturday, but apparently England are playing again, even as I type this, not that I am in anyway influenced by the game or it is in anyway distracting. (Come on England, surely you can get your act together better than this. Where’s the talisman Rooney? Why don’t England retain the ball […]
Read More Finding FaultIt’s all about the best winning. Today was the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea. Portsmouth have finished bottom of the Premier League while Chelsea have won the Premier League scoring a record amount of goals. I was reliably informed that this was the game that ‘no one wanted Chelsea to win’. Others suggested […]
Read More Why David vs. Goliath Is Not About The UnderdogWhen I started blogging back in 2005 it was something to keep me writing. OK to be fair, it was something there to get me writing more regularly in the first place. In those early days I was a bit sporadic in the entries and would go in fits and starts.

Often with a diary I don’t have to put down where such and […]
Read More You Support Liverpool?? DMCD Guide To Footy LoyaltyHear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. (Deut. 6:4, 5) So in the last entry I shared how my first cinema trip brought up some thoughts about the glorification of […]
Read More Believe It: When It’s All Up In The AirSo I have been blogging fairly well over at the other place – what with a general football review here and a Rafa reflection there not forgetting a big up to Law and Order right there, but over here it has not been as busy. Not to worry, there will be a change. It’s interesting […]
Read More Despite MyselfNot an extended blog for today, but I picked up the local newspaper this afternoon, now when I say local newspaper, I mean local newspapers. Little Hulton rocks in terms of being equally as close to Bolton as it is to Manchester and so although being counted as part of Greater Manchester we get the […]
Read More Being Spiritually AmbitiousI don’t usually write about football on this blog. I know I did earlier on in the days of this blog, but since the other blog’s come along I’ve tended to share my comments about the sport to that site. Bear with me over this two-parter, if you’re not that way inclined, there is method […]
