el rock



last night's (2nd) show was attended by quite a few people, most of whom had very nice things to say about it.  This was celebrated with a hearty session which took in a spagetti bolognaise at 5.30 this morning.

The subsequent hangover was lightened no end by the arrival of The Wire season three this morning - add to all that that I have next week off work, then all I can say is ...sweet.

Season Round up Part Dos



Following on from last week's Sunderland summary.

This on from my Real Zaragoza mate, explaining quite clearly what needs to happen this weekend if his side is to avoid relegation:


"It's a bit complicated lads, but here goes:

If we win we are definitely safe because Recreativo and Valladolid are playing each other so we would finish above one of the two.

If we lose we are down.

If we draw, we are safe if Recreativo lose, or if Recreativo and Osasuna lose. If Recre does not lose and Osasuna does it would go down to goal difference with Osasuna. We are equal with them on our head to head encounter and our goal difference is shite so basically we would need Osasuna to lose 5-0.

I would not be surprised if match fixing took place. It wouldn't be the first time. For a start, Racing-Osasuna, they are playing each other, Racing fighting for UEFA, just above Mallorca who are also fighting for the same UEFA Cup spot. They will keep an eye on Mallorca-Zaragoza and will probably fix the game to match the same result as in our game, because that would mean that bith teams meet their objectives.

I would also not be surprised if someone gave Mallorca a hefty amount of money to lose. Watch this space. This is Spanish football for you. Match fixing has taken place more than you would care to imagine."

Basics



With the football season officially over, I've been having some idle email banter with friends about our respective clubs.  kudos to Jim L. for this honest assesment of his side's Player of the year...


"Overall I'd probably say Andy Reid. He can hold onto the ball and most of the time will pass it to one of his own players. It really is that basic at Sunderland... "
