Only In Dreams

My my... its been long since I last updated my journal as promised... but I am truly sorry to say... too bad folks... I was really pre-occupied with a hell lotsaf things... I wonder what as well... so, don't ask! But having something to do is definitely much better than nothing to do right? In view of my current well being... it's nice to say that I am coping well and many things are going smoothly which pleases me... but we'll never know ain' it? Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Let's talk about the World Cup for a change... not sure if everyone is following it but I presume everyone is. Thing is... I live in the UK right now to only know that things are so bad. Patriotic in one way but I would rather call it arrogant bas3rds. No offence though and I'm sure I earn the right to speak as I live... what I am trying to say ere' is that I would rather support the Irish than the English because they are full of shite. Look... they call it the ultimate finale to the World Cup... Brazil vs England... I fully agree... but having predictions on how the English would beat the hell outtaf Brazil on live national television shows no respect over Brazil. Yeah... the English won 3-0 against the Danes but that does not necessary means that they have conquered the whole blardy world. Take a hike mate... I mean... its good to sound optimistic but hey... it was ONLY a 3-0 win over the Danes... and the whole nation was euphoric as if they have won the World Cup... show some blardy respect! Tabloids went berserk over the reports on how the England camp were jubilant and are already thinking about the finals. What a whole load of shite! Front pages of every daily here reads... "Bring on Brazil"... "We're Not Afraid"... etc... I mean... check this out... Owen's penalty claim over Argentina wasn't actually a penalty but just a self inflicted trip when he tried to avoid a tackle! Yeah...call me a hypocrit... I am a die hard fan of Liverpool with Owen in it but dont' you think the euphoria surrounding the whole nation is too much to bear? and too ARROGANT I would say... be optimistic, YES, but how the whole football crazy nation addressed it was as though they were the only class team around! And to add insult to injury... they even criticized Brazil over the lack of skill and depth after only managing to beat Belgium 2-0... I am utterly dumbfounded! How else can the English go wrong... we'll see this Friday! I would love to see the subdued faces out on streets this Friday after some really crazy scenes over the past few days... football hooligans who were unable to watch it there partied 24/7 on the streets like they were above the law...

Anyway, I'm sure most people who are supporting England but not living here would think I am a bit of an arrogant bas3rd as well after saying all this but trust me... I have no reason in not supporting them... the English brought it to themselves. I am a Liverpudlian by heart... be patriotic YES... but coming to terms with arrogance, criticism of other teams, being far too right wing-ed... I don't think highly of them as gentlemen. I am hoping for a good match this Friday... Brazil is my definite choice... and I cant' wait to see the red faces of the English and the ONE PAGE coverage of the Brazil vs England match on every newspaper in Britain when they lose. Anyway, it's not something new... they only have good reports when England is the forerunner on something and totally bin it when things go wrong... or better still... Adam Crozier or Sven being scapegoats... I would love to hear how they shift the story around... that's why there are so many spin doctors around in the UK.

Well, so much for today... we'll hafta wait and see, shall we. My team to win the World Cup would be the Spaniards... totally not arrogant, they just play their game and that's it. Second to it will be Brazil... and thirdly, the IRISH but they have already crashed out from the party after a really good fight to the Spaniards... 3 Cheers to Ireland! You'll Never Walk Alone...

Till then... ta' but before I forget... Happy Birthday Desmond! Good Luck in your future undertakings and we'll go through all this together mate... YNMA...
