TWO matches to go!…

Still behind city, we have won every game since my last post, the most recent League game being at St James’s Park against Newcastle. All even at 2-2 after going ahead twice, only to have a late winner scored by Divock Origi. The match was even more of a slog in that we had lost 3-0 at Camp Nou against barcelon… oh no, it’s alright, I can use a capital b now!… Barcelona in the UCL, Messi, Phil Coutinho, Suarez and all. EVERYONE in the media had given us NO chance of clawing back to get to the final and I mean EVERYONE. Opposition fans loved it, the prospect of us having such a fucking brilliant season (74 points so far!!) and finishing up with nothing to show for it apart from a huge pride. The media were also being ridiculously bias (as they seem to have been all season if I’m honest) against us, also giving us no chance of doing anything last night and waxing lyrical about ‘thee little genius’ Messi and ‘the relentlessness of city (capitals excluded on purpose), basically being lazy and banking on the more likely outcome.

Well, the more likely outcome DIDN’T occur, despite us being without Mo (concussion against Newcastle) and Bobby Firmino (muscle tear whilst training prior to the Huddersfield game before Barcelona). Oh no, Divock scored early on and it remained 1-0 until half-time, the commentators still continuing to sound like parents after a primary school sports day, “Bless them, they tried their best but the other children were just too fast”… the other children being Messi et al and their seemingly massive first-leg lead.

We came out for the second-half without Robbo, who took himself off at HT after being kicked (deliberately) by Suarez shortly before the break. He was replaced by Gini and Jimmy Millie was put to left-back. That was it… Gini scored 2 goals and the Divock scored the fourth after a mentally incisive quickly-taken corner from TAA and the whole place erupted, as it did here!! I was honestly so emotional it actually took me by surprise and tears (of HUGE pride in my Club) were shed on several occasions. It turns out that this was the reaction of LOADS of fellow fans all over the country (and WORLD) and the players on the pitch were no exception after the whistle finally went.

It’s to the UCL final we all go… who we play, nobody knows until tonight. Spurs are 1-0 down from the first leg at home against Ajax but then they HAVE got Son back, who was suspended for the first leg. We shall see…

7 matches to go…

Liverpool have just SEVEN matches to go until the end of the season and Liverpool have lost………….. ONCE. We are top of the league, 1 point ahead of man city who have a game in hand. We are also in the quarter – finals of the European Cup (as was, I refuse categorically to call it otherwise).

I forgot about this!!

Ha! Ha! Ha! I was just wading through my PC and I found THIS, I’d completely forgotten about WordPress! Here I am again, still alive and still kicking (fortunately for me, unfortunate for some). New dog, Shankly was put to sleep about 3 years ago at the ripe old age of 17. We’ve now got Duster, half Staffordshire Bull Terrier and half Jack Russell Terrier and please don’t ask me which was the Mum and which one was the Dad!! We got him just before he was 1 as a rescue and he’s now 31/2… We’ve got several new Grandchildren and we’ve even got a GREAT Grandchild on the way, all being well. MY dear and lovely Auntie Mar has left us, which was sooo sad. Over a year ago now but she lives on with loads of different things and memories too numerous to mention.

Well, I’m gonna try to keep this up on a regular basis (I don’t know HOW regular) but yeah, it’s better than a diary…

Hello REALWORLD!!…

Finished Uni, got a 2:2 (BA Hons!!) and now back in the real world. Got a great job working at a care home just outside Shrewsbury with learning difficulties guys and gals. Its ace. A burst of creativity came over me t’other day and I decided to build a piece of garden furniture. It involves a 1974 78cc chainbrake-less chainsaw and a 3’x10″x10″ slab of oak, some carving chisels and a naughty idea… watch this space…

isn’t THAT a beauty?…

its just aching to have something done with it…

Here, now it has finally had something done with it and has also got a friend in the shape of another piece. Itys a fine alternative to the old Garden Gnome and far less likely to get stolen as the perpetrator would probably give themselves a hernia trying to lift them!!

It’s A Fucking Chainsaw Thing…
