No but they aren't are they, ma petite chapitre deux? They're playing in the UEFA cup final. It's a bit different.

If it's the one with the round sheep's bladder rather than the egg shaped one, in my mind I am right.






Are they different, for real? I thought that was just what they called it now. I haven't got a fucking clue, I hate football.

I was, I was. That was some exciting shit. I shall be watching the match tomorrow and supporting my hometown's little team. Perhaps alongside you, Ferris, over a mead or two in the union. I shall call 'hooray' should we strike a winning pose, and 'the ref's a great big ninny' should we lose, as is the custom.

I love soccer.

I have mistakenly bought tickets to see Anthony and the Johnsons and Michael Nyman tomorrow so will miss 'our' teams finest hour.

However I could not give two fucks normally so I'd feel like such a dick if I didn't go to the gig to go and watch a football game on the tv.
It will smart some if we win but it would hurt more if I watched the game and we lost.

If we win however I shall not be telling the amassed crowds down Linthorpe Road that I went to see a big screaming gay on stage rather than watch the match.

Howay! though.

Michael Nyman's gay?

I wish Middlesbrough all the best in the UEFA Cup Final.

I have always had a fund of goodwill towards the England team. They usually provide at least one very absorbing match in a major tournament.

Regarding the selection of Theo Walcott:

In recent international tournaments the incumbent England manager has selected a "wild card" player, usually a very young player of considerable promise, though not the "finished article". Remember Michael Owen in France '98, Steven Gerrard in Euro 2000, even Joe Cole in 2002 & Wayne Rooney in Euro 2004.

Eriksson trusts Wenger's judgement on the player, look at the progress of Philippe Senderos and Francesc Fabregas this season, but the larger public only know of Walcott by incipient reputation.

It will be interesting to see how the likes of Carrick, Downing and Lennon perform if called upon.
