football, soccer and the world game

Well, if our teams last efforts in indoor soccer are anything to go buy - I suck. But I like to watch. Premier league and A-league have started again and this year is looking interesting. As ashamed as I am to admit it - I have traditionally been a Man Utd fan. (maainly from visiting man when my bro lived there). This year they are looking crap and it is good to see Man City starting off so well. Arsenal are also looking hot this year, and even the wolves have potential. Liverpool need a bit of help and we'll see how chelsea end up doing (off to a good start). Even newly promoted burnley beat Man Utd. So yeah - I am going for man city this year I think... but hope arsenal or chelsea take out the crown - Man Utd has just won too much.

In the A League - I am a melbourne victory supporter. This year, however, they look shit. Need some serious help. I am curious to see how well the new gold coast ends up doing.

For those looking for a new internet provider use iinet (use me for a referral). 4 live premier league matches (in HD) a round and 5 pre-recorded (via fox sports online). Free and quota free.

If you have a digital tv you can see serie-A and bundesliga LIVE in HD on that new sports channel ONE HD (ch 10 sports). They also show UFC wired, which is a crack up.

anyway, off to work.

TV, cars, melbourne, soccer

SO – priorities. Trying to finish thing that NEED to get finished and sorted. Also trying to organise time better so there is minimal waste. Getting there.

Now some random thoughts – TV: is crap, especially in australia. There are very few shows I like to watch. Bones, rush, nciis and occasionally csi. SO there is now a new tv channel (on freeview) called GO. It is basically a second ch 9 tv channel – where they show all the shows they canned. I like the crap shows!

Cars: So, I’m a little sad. The proton is gone. traded in. But i’m over it. Got a used 5yr old peugeot 307 xse (2l, 5dr hatch, 100kw). It’s nice. the leather seats a tiny bit cold when your skin touches them after work and melbourne is 8 degrees. – but it warms up fast enough.

Melbourne is awesome – still love being here – even with the sporadic weather patterns. Last weekend was so beautiful on the saturday arvo at a chilli cookoff in a brewery in the yarra valley. The sunday was bucketting down in rain. c’est la vie. Still managed to visit one winery. p.s. coldstream brewery rocks.

Sitting in the lounge room watching soccer, chatting to steph, chilling (feel too sick to do any work) and yeah – the soccer is streaming through the mac onto the TV c/o iinet/telstra fox sports online. In case you haven’t guessed – the new premier league season has started. It is lookig interesting. Arsenal and liverpool are both playing well now, and Man utd is playing crap. WIll be interesting.

Haven’t watched b’ham or the wolves play yet – burnley was looking ok though.
