Should've gone up yesterday...

St. Valentine’s Day Massacre
Ah, February 14th is upon us again and for singletons like me it’s a chance to wallow in self-pity or go out there and do something about it. That is if you believe the hype. It amazes me how each year Valentines Day becomes more commercialised. Yes, if did have a girlfriend then I probably would take them out for a meal (unfortunately McDonalds and Burger King don’t count), buy them some chocolates and some flowers. However, the way society is at the moment, it’s as if we’re under some mystical pressure to do all of these things, and if we don’t then we’re a “bad boyfriend”. I simply shake my head and sigh at this sort of thing sometimes.

England = Poo
Oh My God. England lost to Australia last night in a football match (though to call what England played last night “football” is an insult). Not that Australia didn’t deserve to win. They played extremely well and fully deserved the plaudits. But England were abysmal. No, they were worse than that, they were the pits. I’m not 100% certain whether I think this is a worse result for England than their 2-2 draw with Macedonia or whoever the hell it was.

Playing one team for 45 minutes and another entirely different team for the second half worked about as well as a solar-powered torch. Sven, you have messed up bad, and I understand you’re under pressure from club managers but something needs to be done. I feel like creating a blueprint and sending it to the FA and FIFA on how they should change the game so that the debacle that happened last night never happens again. Rant over.
