Random Musings - Day #4

Yesterday was arguably the best day of football in England. It was round 3 of the FA Cup, where little teams like Blyth Spartans and Barrow take on bigger clubs like Middlesborough and Blackburn. Also Southend holding Chelski at Stamford Bridge! There will be at least two non-league sides in the 4th round with Torquay and Kettering making it.

Round 4 will be great with Liverpool drawing Everton and Kettering taking on premiership Fulham.

Manchester United look like they are 4th round bound as the are leading 3-0 against Southampton. I am listening to the commentary. I love Ian Holloway's colour commentary on the radio. He was eulogising over United's Berbatov. "He has been carressing the ball all afternoon. Any girl would love him so much!" He says a lot of weird and wonderful stuff. There are some notable quotables about.

He should write a book or be a panelist on one of those quiz shows like 8 out of 10 cats or mock the week.

Just to add, I was told that it was possible to get live streams of football games for free from my dad. After doing some research, there apparently is a way at the moment, through freepremiership.com which leasds to myp2p.eu.

I've had a haircut to basically tidy up my hair. Essentially I've not had it touched for 8 months, so it is everywhere and a little itchy at the back. I think I have my own style. I got a friend to cut it. This turned out to be a good idea. Every time I go to the barbers, I ask for a short, back and sides they cut the top off anyways, which is not what I want. I don't believe there is a name for my hairstyle. But see my hair is long on top and drops down, I could style my hair in a number of ways.

A children's classic albeit very creepy was also brought to my attention in the form of Noseybonk. It's simply some guy with a mask that has a long pointy nose and sets riddles for himself for the viewer to work out. He's the very saw-like trailer.
