Soccer, TV & Football Week 1

I will dive right into the good stuff, Soccer - International Soccer i might add........................

Well where do i start, as a very proud Englishmen over the years i have enjoyed nothing more than ridiculing certain countries about their international failures in big tournaments or games.

The mere sight of a scotsman, irishman, welshman or even a froggy did not escape the wrath of my banter towards thier countries terrible results and pub football performances.

As years have gone by, especially this past year the tables have turned and now i feel myself on the receiving end of same abuse i dished out all these years regarding my own countries failures on the football pitch, and much to my amazement as i have never backed down from a footballing argument i agree and support the jibes thrown at me 100%, not only do i support the jibes, but I the proud Englishmen have been the instigator of the abuse to several of my friends either still playing professionally or the fans that pay over the odds for tickets to watch this utter garbage.

I have been so incensed by the English National team, not only the performances, but the sheer arrogance in which some of the players approach international games with, i have boycotted watching all games, press conferences etc until they prove to me and the rest of the country that they want to proudly pull on the 3 Lions shirt, get their fingers out and do the business.
There we go enough said, now watch em go and spank Croatia tonight and really make me eat my words.

It was a great TV week, 3 episodes of Prison Break watched and the Shield is also up and running again, but before i tell you how much i love Vic Makey and The Shield i want to say that i wasn't at all looking forward to Prison Break Season 4, to be honest we have been down this road before, in and out of Prison for 3 seasons, story lines have been OK, but come on move on from Prison and focus on something else or kill the show and be done with it....................... much to my liking Season 4 has started off with a bang, all the usual players are back, T-Bag is his usual self (the guy is sheer class) and yes yes yes the writer's finally took my advice and have finally moved away from the Prison theme, Micheal and the gang are helping the authorities take down the company to stay out of Prison, chilling stuff. There is a new addition to the team a wacky Asian dude who i haven't quite figured out yet, more to come.

The Shield is back for its final season, I'm gutted, but i guess its time. Vic is back better than ever and the next few weeks are going to be explosive. If your not a fan give it a try you wont regret it trust me.

And lastly Football week 1, now i am not a big college football fan, but NFL yes i am. Previously i was a Cheese head because of my mother in law's force full nature, but i have grown wings and fled the nest, i now sit proudly on the shoulder of Brett Favre and the Jets, why you ask because i like controversy and controversy creates memorable moments. Jets will be in the playoffs because of the gun slinger, look at his performance this past weekend, OK lucky 2ND TD, but overall a decent outing against Miami...... watch this space Jets in the playoffs.

Brady is done for the season, to be honest every NFL franchise has to be licking their lips at this news, the MVP of professional football is out for the season and the Patriots look in trouble.

And lastly i heard in the news today that Vince Young has gone AWOL because some fans have booed him as he threw a 2ND INT in his first game this season, you have to be kidding me come on son GROW a pair as i am sure the millions that the Titans are paying you is softening the blow. Can i interest you in a long soak in the bath tub with some bath beads and candles, what a pansy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
