Found it unamusing that we had rain yesterday! Fortunately I was far too engrossed in the tennis to want to be outdoors. Thought Murray would be a bit more bothered by the big hitting American, but nope, he had it all under control, he didn't serve well, but he didn't need to. Very satisfying to see a Brit actually being professional in their approach to a tournament... take note the England lot.
Today started off cloudy, but made most of it by washing windows and nets, then popped out to supermarket to get a few supplies. Noticed that they'd taken down all the Come on England posters! Just wondering when they'll put the England T shirts at half price. Made myself a nice lunch of two poached eggs on toast, and settled down to watch the tennis. I chose the Cljisters match, thinking that Venus Williams would obliterate her opponent, so got a shock when I flicked over to see Venus was on the verge of being soundly beaten. At least that means it won't be an all williams final, which are utterly boring. Just need Serena to be knocked out and we may get an interesting final. Tis the men's quarters tomorrow, Murray on last on Centre court, tough opponent in Tsonga, but Nadal also has a tough opponent in Soderling. Sadly he plays same time as Murray! Rats.
Now watching Spain V Portugal, would like Spain to win, just to shut up Big Head, Ronaldo,who has taken to posing before free kicks, just like Beckham used to. But what they both show is how poor the England team are at basic ball skills. Football does not need to be played at the frenetic speed it is in the Premier league, the sooner we realise that the better. Keep Capello, put a cap on foreign players and on wages, cut down number of games, do away with League Cup. And we may just begin to find some talent. We just need to find another Ramsey, a manager who is not star struck, who does not take passengers (why was Beckham with the team?), and who builds a team. Oh answer to why Beckham was with team was just in case they won, so he could be photographed holding the trophy.
Right rant over, and would like to reiterate, only comments received in English will be approved.... This blogs comments are now moderated. So will the oriental plonker stop being so tiresome?
