ipod – the new generation

Last week Apple unvield a new iPod lineup which caters for just about everyone. Over the next series of blog posts I’ll be reviewing each model and coming up with some sort of a verdict, in a very breif probably informative way…

…stay tuned!

is the special one still feeling special?

Wow what a surprise I had when I woke up this morning. Not only was waking up an hour earlier to go to work so I could finish earlier, but I woke up to the news that Jose Mourinho had parted ways with Chelsea FC. Okay they got off to a bad start this season but so have Man Utd and Liverpool started poorly last season. Also with Man United not being their usual prolific selves there was every chance Chelsea could have got something at Old Trafford on the weekend.

As yet (and probably for a good while) we don’t know why Chelsea and Jose have gone their separate ways at such an early part of the season, did Mourinho walk or was he pushed we will maybe never know as Roman, Peter and co will probably get all involved to sign a confidentiality agreement. Roman Ambramovich may well have decided enough is enough after the Rosenborg game, Rosenborg the weak team of Chelsea’s group held them to a 1-1 draw. Apparently Ambramovich decided on buying a football game after watching Man Utd play Real Madrid in an epic game. After that he then decided to buy a club to conquer Europe in the style which the Red Devils and the Galacticos played that evening, Roman should’ve noted that neither team won the European Cup that year.

I feel it definitely is not a step forward for Chelsea, Mourinho has done an amazing job at Chelsea, winning so much in such little time, okay he’s had the money but everyone knows money does not guarantee anything in football. It is hard to keep so many massive names happy like Mourinho did. I have not agreed wit a lot of what Mourinho has done and was the main reason why one of Europe’s top refs (on a par with Collina) Frisk took early retirement. Whoever will be gaining Jose will be gaining success, and the English Premier League will be leaving a great character and one of the greatest premiership managers.

I’ll leave you with one of Jose gems, it comes at the end of this YouTube video summarising his Chelsea life in three minutes, he came out with some really odd stuff but possibly left he strangest until the final few days, here’s Mourinho comparing his team with an omelette?!?!

See ya Jose!

england v russia

I decided against producing ‘my XI’ thoughts on these two England matches, against Israel (3-0) and Russia tomorrow as due to injuries and suspension the team pretty. Plus Crouch can be quite effective coming off the bench so will be a useful weapon. The big test for McClaren will be the next international and who to choose with hopefully the big guns (Rooney, Lampard, Lennon, Hargreeves, Neville, Terry etc.) coming back in contention for selection.

Score prediction: England 2 – 0 Russia

britney spear’s comeback?!?!

This was not very convincing… once the worlds biggest female pop star now a sorry shadow of her former sexy self (still not bad though!).

It just didn’t look like she knew what she was doing up there, maybe it was too soon for her comeback? This so called US comedian (no idea who she is) tore into her, though with some quite funny digs.

Britney comeback verdict: Crap song, lost all class, still pretty hot (for trailer trash though)!!
