Well a few days have passed since last post and a lot has happened.
The mighty owls have clawed back our cross city neighbors to within just 1 point. With 2 games left, its anybody's guess which one of us will go up automatic. I hope to god its Wednesday because i cant see us doing well in the playoffs, especially being so close to the auto spot.
Barca lost ground, the title and surrendered themselves to Madrid, this past saturday. A lacklustre display from the blaugrana boys and more worringly, they looked really tired. I hope it was just a moment of human frailty rather than something bigger. We have a major game against Chelsea now and must focus all our efforts into that. My fingers will be firmly crossed!
Canucks, canucks, canucks! What the frak??? Humiliating to say the least. No fight and thanks for nothing from the big earners during this playoff series. If anyone manages to track down Kesler, Henrik Sedin, Raymond, Ballard, Bieksa, Edler and Hamhuis then please leave them where they are. DO NOT bring them back to Vancouver! Big changes needed in the off season for me and need a bit more Canadian spirit in the squad. Freshen it up with the young guns from the wolves.
Out.

Been a while but they're coming to get you!
Been a while (again) but this is going to be a very very short post split into sections!
Football (soccer to the across the pond dwellers)
Its been well over a week since i posted about football so here's my little update on the teams i support. Firstly i'd like to congratulate Doncaster Rovers for a highly comical season in the Championship. Wasn't going great under O'Driscoll but what a masterstroke it was by Mr Chairman to bring in Dean Saunders. Take a bow Mr Doncaster Rovers (or so you want people to believe!). You'll be residing in the divisions you suit best. Try to do everything on the cheap and there is your return. Just feel sorry for some of the loyal fans that you actually take for granted.
My home club, the Wednesday, have done fantastic since strangely sacking Meggo but im afraid automatic promotion is out of the question now. I just can't see our cross city rivals dropping the necessary points to allow us to overtake so its onwards to the playoff. Whatever happens in the playoffs, its going to be nervy and a whole lot of fun at the same time.
Lastly, the Blaugrana. After chasing and chasing Madrid for what feels like months, we got really close to them only for them to scrape away again. With 'El Clasico' on saturday, i can't help but feel 6 pointer doesnt quite do it justice. It will be one of the most intense games of football, i think i'll have ever seen. I just hope the passion doesn't get mixed up with the cheating that was served up last season.
Hockey (Ice Hockey for all UK people)
Wow, this hasn't been that short a post then! My bad.
Right then, the Sheffield Steelers finished their season and playoffs in a terrible way. After being so close and pushing so hard, they just collapsed in the final month of the season and the playoffs were gone. Next season maybe!
And onto the Canucks. Where the hell do i start?? Maybe its time for AV to depart now? For 2 years running we've been the no1 team in the regular season yet come playoff time, struggle. Last year was a struggle through the playoffs and this year has been worse. All the good that was created during the season, is just 1 game away from being undone. Too many players on the Nucks books, don't have the heart or bottle to provide performances during the playoffs. We cannot be sentimental anymore. Time for a change. This is what we live for.............doesnt mean losing, surely??
Music
Finally got to see my music idol (hero) last thursday in Leeds. Tom Delonge has been important in my development as an adult and every time something negative happens in my life, his music (either Blink or AVA), gets me through to the other side. I have even dedicated 2 large tattoos on my arm to Angels & Airwaves and to one of Tom's lyrics. It was a dream come true getting to be that close and listen firsthand what they create. Magical
And as i write this, im currently listening to the new fare from Linkin Park. I've always been a fan and i really like this new song 'Burn it Down'. I find it catchy as hell really and i can only hope the new album hs more of this sound.
Thats it. Pogzy out!!!
