Disappeared again for a few days there didn’t I? tut, tut, my bad. But just be glad I’m here at all. Cause you know… Nope, can’t come up with an ending for that sentence at all.
Anyways, remember back two years ago I made such a huge fuss about Munster and the Heineken Cup final. You’d be forgiven for thinking that I’d given up on supporting them at all, so little have I written about this season, or indeed last season. But that isn’t the case. The real problem is that since Sky nabbed the rights it is harder to watch the matches. And those highlights packages just aren’t the same.
I did head to the pub for a few, but then you’re in a pub and not really inclined to be blogging. Something to do with alcohol no doubt.
But this weekend is Heineken Cup Final weekend. Munster V Toulouse. And of course Munster are going to win. And of course we’re all supporting them. And of course Gift Grub have done a song for the occasion:
In other random exciting news I’ve just gotten The Wire season 4 in the post. Yay! Now, I need some device to stop time so I can manage to watch it all this weekend and still have time to do other stuff.
Strange thing happened when I was looking at the web stats today. It appears that someone got here by searching using the term koenigshklkoenigshklhafkljablerker. Yes, that’d be the made up word I used to describe the car on Top Gear on Sunday. Well, it made me smile.
Last night saw Roy Keane’s testimonial. He played for both Man U and for Celtic[1] But you know what was weird? Seeing him smile so much. I mean, Roy Keane, smiling while playing football. What’s going on there?
Was nice to see the huge turnout though, he deserved it. Whatever you say about him personally, you can’t deny that he was a great servant to Man U for 12 years, and was one of the greatest footballers they ever had. Maybe not in terms of talent and skill, but in terms of loyalty, drive, ambition and commitment.
I didn’t watch all the match, was switching between it and the rugby on Setanta. Munster lost to Llanelli[2] but they weren’t exactly fielding their best team. Saving them for the big show down in Cardiff. Which reminds me, it is ten days to go until that match, so I’ll be switching themes later tonight and going red for Munster.
I did have something else to say, but I can’t remember what it was, so I may be back later on. Than again, maybe it wasn’t important so I mightn’t. Who knows.
