* Irritating trackback spam fixed, found misapplication of Net::Akismet Perl interface (missing user ip/agent)


Figured this blog had better show some signs of life before I lose my loyal readers (who however, the stats show, are still visiting as per normal despite nearly three weeks of non-activity). Fun stat: The previous record for longest period between posts was 16 days, between the rather succinct iSqueez on 20 April 2006, and the similarly short Filler Post on 6 May 2006. The more you know...


The Travails Of Fame

So that's a small taste of what being named John Doe is like (though I hadn't read the paper yet when I was alerted to this infringement of my image rights, I doubt that I would have noticed it). Shame they didn't print a life-sized sample card too.


Footy

Guess I shouldn't be chao geng-ing after the mess that is my FYP is done. So, what's up? Manchester United hanging on to win - twice - thanks to a 17 year-old Italian, Federico "Kiko" Macheda, would be ludicrous enough if it were a movie plot, but in football it's what passes for reality. To his credit, both goals were superbly taken, that's if the Sunderland one were intentional (note Carrick celebrating it though it was going nowhere close before Macheda's touch).

United are certainly stuttering to the finish line, but let's consider the challengers: Chelsea looked distinctly uncomfortable in holding on for 4-3 after going 4-0 up against Bolton, and this the same Chelsea who whacked Liverpool 1-3 away in the Champions League - virtually eliminating a Liverpool who had recently beaten United 1-4 away, and Real Madrid 5-0 on aggregate in the previous round.

As if that were not enough, Liverpool drew 4-4 with Chelsea in the return leg, and then contrived to draw 4-4 again against Arsenal in the Premier League, with all four of Arsenal's goals by Arshavin. That's one player I wouldn't have minded at Man United, but with a name like that, where else could he go but Arsene's Arsenal? Torres, the only Liverpool player whom I feel would unequivocally improve United, scored a brace too, and it can only be wondered how incredible the Red Devils would be with him, instead of say Cantbebothebetov.

Liverpool probably now have a lock on tragic story of the season, and even I have to grudgingly admit that they've made a brave run of it. However, there are no prizes for courageous charges...

Sometimes I think it's easier to just believe that it's all fixed to a degree that would not have been condoned in World Wrestling Entertainment. Scratch that, the WWE's probably more predictable - it's usually quite easy to tell when the heel's going to pull a fast one and cheat the face out of a win.

Still, with the effort that guys like Tevez put in, it doesn't matter a whit:




This was going to be a bumper post to make up for the recent lack of posts, but on second thought I'll reserve material for the coming days. Sneak peek: The FYP Mystery, Trip Planning, and Not So Current Affairs.
