Well, its truly official - international football tournaments are just another fuckin Eurovision song contest. For all those not in the know, the Eurovision song contest is basically an event where every country in Europe is represented by a singer (or singers). They sing their song (which is often crap) and all the other countries set scores out of 10 for them. Of course its totally political with each country just giving the best scores to their closest friends rather than anything to do with the talent of the singer.
Thats is exactly whats happening with these poxy international football tournaments. In the last World Cup, Korea got amazingly far - screwing over the likes of Italy on the way who got a shedload of bullshit decisions against them. Of course it wouldn't be anything to do with Korea being co-hosts. Now we have this fuckin poxy tournament. Tons of free kicks to Portugal that were just pathetic to say the least, then, right at the end, one of our defenders scores a bloody excellent goal, but oh wait ! The refs disallowed it - wow what a fuckin surprise, the hosts have another chance. Not only that, but while England are celebrating the goal, that piece of shit ref allows the Portugese to kick the ball out and run up the field in an attempt to score one back so it puts us out instantly.
They didn't manage to do it, but that bastard made sure they had as much help as possible to win. Of course, typical England story, we lose on penalties. Oh and real classy move by the ref to let that wanker goalkeeper walk upto Beckham and give him a load of shit before he takes his penalty - real cute.
So yeah, you won't find me shedding a tear if I hear any news on that ref getting stabbed to death outside the stadium. Oh wait, I take that back - I'm bound to with the laughter.
I wouldn't have minded if Portugal had actually won honestly, well done, maybe in another couple of years for our guys. But going out like that is just fuckin sick and a sad day for football when its all about being the host if you want to progress. Thankfully club football hasn't deteriorated into that kind of shit yet. The day it does is the day I stop watching it. What a fat load of shit, I hope the Czechs get to the final and fuckin crucify the wankers !
Sorry if anyone is upset at any comments I'm making, but I'm offloading it all on here cause I'm not gonna start pumping it into Jul's ears when she gets on. And my sympathy goes out to Sol Campbell - he works his ass off for England and thats twice hes had a goal disallowed for pathetic bullshit reasons. Sorry guys, but until we're the hosts, we're not winning jack shit.
Woohoo ! We're through to the quarter-finals ! Bit of a scare within the first 5 minutes, but we were strong throughout the match and won 4-2 !!! Ave it !!!
So this Thursday it will no doubt be another rollercoaster of emotion as we face the hosts of the tournament - Portugal. ;-)
So this time next week my sexy fiancee will be here ! :-) My birthday soon too - turning 26 - noooooooooooooo ! Oh well, at least Juls will be here. ;-)
Just trying to kill this week now and get it over with. With a slight pause for the England game of course. ;-)
Ordered a few stand up comedy DVDs to add to the collection while Juls is here. One of Jack Dee and two of Eddie Izzard. With the Sky TV being cancelled in the house for awhile, we need all the DVD entertainment we can get. Normal 5 channels.....brrrrrrr, what a load of shit. Once the England games are finished, there isn't much to look forward to on those crappy channels.
Well, at least me and Jul have an invite to a BBQ on my birthday, so that should be pretty cool. As long as that spasticated camel's balls sack of a partner one of my female cousins is going out with isn't there of course. The blokes a fuckin walking freak show. I gave him the nickname Trigger after the character in Only Fools And Horses cause he really is just that thick, if not worse.
Anyway, I'm gonna end this one here for now. COME ON ENGLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had to post because my lovely Fiance has rejoined the blogging world if only temporarily ;) I will make it so he can get comments on here and all the new stuff blogger offers. Love you baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Yeah I know I haven't posted for ages. But seeing as I still live in a free country, bollocks if I'm gonna apologise - so nyaa. Its humid, I'm sweaty, theres a fly in my room that seems determined to piss me off until I rip its wings off and those pissing jammy French gits managed to win against us in the dying minutes of injury time.
Just to add to it, one of their midfielders (Viera), told the press how they managed to pull through and triumph despite England's "dirty tricks and cheating".
Fuck off you tart ! Bunch of wussies can't take being tackled and of course them tripping over their own feet - looking for free kicks and bundling us over is clean tactics. Bunch of surrender monkey wankers.
Anyway, its not all over, as long as we win the other 2 games in the group. Football aside, still unemployed, but I'm going to either get onto the railway or get at least a part time job while I do courses for better jobs. I refuse to do another warehouse job or anything on that level. If I give in to that, I'm just continuing an ongoing loop and I want to marry Juls.
To do that I need to get a decent job, but financial reasons aren't the only thing. I want to have a decent job so that Juls doesn't get labeled as the girl in the family who married a loser whose beneath her and I don't wanna be seen as the one who just got lucky, got a great wife and lives off her.
Its not like I feel I have to earn more than Juls in whatever jobs we end up in, but I do have a sense of pride. When it comes to intelligence, I see me and Jul as pretty equal. Of course there are areas where one of us is stronger, but overall, we're very similar. The difference is that Jul is a lot more sensible than me and where shes at college, I went straight into work as soon as I could rather than doing the same when I should have.
I'll be 26 soon, but I keep reminding myself that there are people that were older than me when they decided to better themselves through courses and now they have some good jobs. So at least I'm getting a general sense of direction now.
Well Juls will be here in a couple of weeks - yay !!! Need to clean up this bloody room soon. Make space in cupboards and drawers and throw away these jobs papers and stuff that have been gradually building up. ;-)
Thursday is another England game, hopefully we'll win that one along with the last group game. I'd like Jul to see what the place is like when England play in a major tournament. I think she has at least a minor interest to be here for it too, but at the same time doesn't give a shit if we go out cause its less of a headache having to deal with me through it. ;-)
We'll be going to the Romeo & Juliet play at the Globe theatre for my birthday. I want to take her to that because shes really wanted to go and to be honest, all I want to do for my birthday is spend it with her. Not bothered about a party or anything, I'll be happy being with Jul, so although the play might be thought of as more Julie's thing (I am interested in it, just not as much as Juls is), I'm still getting what I want out of it all and thats to just be alone with her non stop through the day.
Will have to see whats on at the movies and stuff too. Not gonna have much money to spend, but I want to keep Juls as entertained as I can cause I don't want her bored. I wouldn't mind if we went to plays everyday (funds allowing) as long as I get to be with her. Florida tends to offer more for us to do, but her being here allows us to be more of a normal couple with a lot more privacy and stuff.
Anyway, I'm off to bed now - hopefully the dreams will be based on lustful thoughts of my sexy fiancee and not the last couple of minutes of that bloody England vs France match.
