It's all over

Have been pretty busy with a visit from beercan last weekend and work has put me off computers. I didn't manage to get to another match before the season ended, but it was good to see Shakhtar win the UEFA cup and Barca's performance against Manure last night was exceptional. There is still the FA Cup final on Saturday, but I'll be at work :( On another bnote my new computer bust, but we managed to get the old one working which I am using now, it also means that I have got access to my old photos and music, but I'm really waiting for my new one to get back and running and then I'll attempt some sort of end of season review, although a special mixtape from the old tracks on this computer could still be on the cards

End of season

Well it looks like the end of the season as far as I'm concerned. Cambridge failed in the play offs again, so the Conference will again be the highest level of local football on offer again next season. Tomorrow is the UEFA cup final with Shakhtar taking on Werder, hopefully I'll get home in time for it and then a couple of days of Birkin. Hopefully he won't out stay his welcome, he quite often does. The only other matter is who gets relegated in the Premier League, let's hope Villa manage to down th Toon!

Not as good as the one below the got deleted, and the music is particularly annoying on it. It sounds like some crap those tools off Top Gear would listen to, apart from anything else Villa lost so I'm wondering why I am persevering with this.

Fulham v Aston Villa

Hammered in Hammersmith

Yesterday saw Villa take on Fulham at Craven Cottage, so I had a day out with Scott which took in the various sites of Hammersmith pubs, unfortunately that's as cultural as it got. We started off early on just outside Hammersmith station and then made our way to the ground along the Thames. We were supposedly sitting in the neutral stand, but it was a mass of claret and blue and the fans created a great atmosphere, at least before the game and for the first half. I had gone not expecting a win for Villa who are 5th despite having terrible form over the last couple of months, needless to say Villa didn't manage the win. Danny Murphy put Fulham ahead from the spot on 6 minutes after some poor defending and Ashley young equalised for Villa on 14 minutes. Villa and Fulham seemed eavenly matched for most of the first half, but it has to be said the long season seems to have taken it out on Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonalahor. Stylian Petrov didn't have a particularly good game in

What's been going on the last couple of weeks

well work has put me off being on the computer at home for starters, and last weekend Tolsti was in town with Ilhama for what was a ridiculous drinking session. Needless to say that I didn't go to any football, which was not that easy to do anyway with Ely not having a team of any type at home on what was effectively the last day of the season. Newmarket who were already promoted played on Friday and Cambridge and Histon were engaged in the play offs. Cambridge made it to the final, but Histon went down to Torquay, so it could end up that both Burton and Cambridge end up in the league. Shakhtar beat Dynamo to reach the UEFA cup final becoming the first and by default the last Ukrainian team to do so. They will face Werder Bremen in Istanbul. Champions League well blah, blah, blah. It's also been a time of anniverssaries with it being the 20th of the first Stone Roses album and 60 since Superga. Works been recording and fiddling round with documents. The Premier League is still
