To Dream The Once Impossible Dream!

Tottenham Hotspur in europe next season? It is something i thought would not be possible at Christmas!

However the fighters of White Hart Lane have turned a relegation scrap in to a fight for a place in the Europa League (Uefa Cup), And although i am taking nothing for granted, i am very confident that we can finnish in the 7th place.

Basicaly, Manchester United (grr), Chelsea, Aresnal and Everton are in the Semi-Finals of the F.A Cup, and because they are all in European qualification places a extra spot is up for grabs on the grounds that however gets to the F.A Cup final is given a place in europe.

This is the table around 7th at the moment.

5. Aston Villa - 53

6. Everton - 52

7. West Ham - 44

8. Fulham - 43

9. Tottenham Hotspur - 41

10.Wigan - 41

11.Manchester City - 38

We are three points behind that crucial 7th place, and who would have thought that after suffering our worst start to a season since the Titanic sunk!

17 Again

Today is an important day in blog land...my first film review!

(insert cheering, clapping, all round happiness here)

This afternoon along with leaders and members of the youth group from my church we all went for an outing to Luton to go for a cinema trip.

Because of the age of the group, the film had to be age appropriate. I had horrible visions of sitting through the Hanna Montana Movie (She has the best of both worlds...but now she has to chose one...what will she do???) or Marley and Me, which as far as i can see is about a Dog that both Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston both love...great story!

However after much thought (there really was not much on) we decided to go and watch Zac Efron's new film 17 Again (this is not strictly true, two guys went to see Alien & Monsters 3D).

The film on first thoughts, was pretty boring, but if you look deeper there are some very good performances in it...for example Zac Efron.

It hurts me to say this, but he was brilliant in it as was his flat mate and 'dad' Thomas Lennon.

The film basicaly is about a guy called Mike who wishes his life was better and that he could go through his youth again, somehow, and im not sure how, because he falls in to a river he becomes 17 again (hence the film name!), and trys to make up for mistakes he made. He does and he is 17 again.

Its not going to win any awards, and its not in my list of favourite films ever, but looking back on it...its a good family film and a good way to spend a horribly wet and damp day in luton.

And by the way...Zac Efron...SO good at basketball!

Comming Soon!

As i struggle to write decent song lyrics, i have been thinking...what are the perfect lyrics?

In my eyes the perfect lyrics should combine story telling, love, passion, emotion, the ability to take the song from one level to another, to capture the listerner in the world of the singer or song writer! Lyrics are amazing things!

I hope to go into more detail about this but i will just give you a list of a few songs that i feel have hit that benchmark...the perfect lyrics!

• Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
• Stupid Boy - Keith Urban
• Nobody Drinks Alone - Keith Urban
• More Then Words - Extreme
• Dreams - Fleetwood Mac
• Blue - Steve Warner (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=66604354)

Also check out a song called 'Accidents' that is one of my songs!

And So It Begins (Again!)

The ever on going war between me and Nissan took a violent turn yesterday when i found that there is to be a Nissan Cube 2009.

AGGGGGH do people never learn? The Nissan Cube was horrid, the Nissan Denki Cube was horrid and guess what...the Nissan Cube 2009 is also horrid!

Did you ever read the magazine The Dandy? There was a character called Desperate Dan and the 2009 Cube looks like a car version of him. Look at it, it has a sticking out chin and is just a block of stuff. To be fair it is no longer a Cube, but still there attempts to add curves has failed!

The review of the car called it "a funky car". It has about as much Funk in it as Gorden Brown!

There also appears to be a Nissan Cube 2010...Why does life suck so much that they have to carry on bringing out new ones? We dont need another one!

I quote the designer "If cars could talk, Cube would be likely to say, ‘Nice to meet you'"...I know what i would say to it...

The Stalkers Commeth

I find it amazing how things can change in a short amount of time. In between going out for various exploits that included being hit very hard in the stomach, wearing a hoodie backwards and trying very unsuccessfully to explaining why there is suffering in the world i have found that Facebook has changed (AGAIN!)

The first thing that comes to mind is why? But for me the most important thing is why has it become a way of stalking your friends? I logged on and could recite (if i was sad enough to read it all) what a friend had written on another friends wall! Why is it any of my business, and also why do the people at Facebook think that we want to know about others private conversations?

I know i have descended back into rants but this really has got under my skin! I had been thinking about leaving but this may well just make my choice easier.

Short rant but i think it gets the point across!

Lets hope that i can re-enter the world of Sunshine and general niceness next time!

God Bless Nice People!

A little bit of kindness goes along way but so does generally being nice.

I have just had one of the nicest conversations on Facebook that i have had for ages, actually one of the nicest conversations i have had in general for a long time!

its amazing how a person, who is obviously very nice can appear to be up for a chat at anytime. There was no forced on act, it was generally a kind, fun and pleasurable chat.

This has really made me feel a whole lot better!

God bless nice people!

It Needs Respect!

Fresh from my spontaneous blogging last night i decided to give this post a bit of a thought and see how this compares...i fear that this tactic is not only more sensible but easier, so although doing things spontaneously sounds fun (apart from spontaneous combustion or spontaneous pneumothorax) to write a sensible and readable blog...giving the post some thought may be a good idea!

Anyway, the FA Cup as we all know (should know anyway) is the biggest cup competition in the world and i fear it is being forced to lose its importance.

This year Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton and Arsenal/Hull (i cant see Hull beating Arsenal...but this is the cup) are through to the semi finals. Last season West Brom, Portsmouth, Cardiff and Barnsley played in the semi finals. Last season was the Cup at its best, this season very much at its worst.

With Manchester United seemingly able to field a team consisting of the lady who cleans the kitchens or the grounds keeper and still win and Arsenal who seem to be able to do anything despite having a awful season and basicaly not being anyway near a League winning side i suspect that the FA Cup semi finals will be turned into a runout for the young players, B Teams if u like...Now for me that is disgusting. Would they do that for the Champions League, the answer is no.

Football has become a world of greed and has lost any tradition that it had. Despite my hate for Everton (dont ask me why) i hope they win, to show that the FA Cup still has some of the dream and class that the Cup used to have.

Saying that, if a team who is in a Champions league position wins then a extra place for the re-named Europa League opens up. Can i see Tottenham back in europe against the odds? CMON YOU SPURS!
