About Me

Im a student at the University of Westminster studying Criminology and Social-legal studies, mixed with working at a large retailer that cannot be named. I love sports and play rugby in particular, as well as football, and follow Tottenham Hotspur FC religiously. I'm also an avid Football Manager player and have spent many an hour living the highs and lows of simulated football management.

Oh dear Oh dear Oh Dear.....

Well it's finally happened and you can't say we haven't been warned....the sun came out ( a little bit), oh and also there's been this stuff about riots? Don't know if you've heard about it? Well we can't surely be surprised that it happened seeing that the Kaiser Chiefs predicted it in 2004. On the plus side of these riots, it means people are going to be able to get cut price goods off ebay as well as the fact that the job centre queue is going to be considerably less, however there are the terrible effects left behind by these thugs who, for the most part, are on their school holidays. It should be the parents that should be addressed as they are just sitting back watching their offspring destroy property and lives for no reason other than greed and mindless stupidity.
Now I understand that it is a bit drastic but the British Army is there to protect Britain and its allies, so why can we not have the army as a presence on the streets to stop these mindless attacks as at the moment there is no end in sight, other than when these dickheads have filled out their living rooms with new gear. A positive aspect to have arisen from an otherwise horrible situation is that of the old British community spirit which has developed in aid of the mass clear up, and shows that we still have such a community which will work together and help each other through such torrid times.
It is still worth mentioning the quality of work the emergency services have put in throughout these tough times and in particular the way of which the Police service has reacted and dealt with the situation at hand, despite them being the apparent "cause".

Now on a lighter note the football league finally kicked off on Saturday, which means as usual West Ham lost (lovely) and I lost money on my weekly accumulator (standard). The premier league kicks off on Saturday with Spurs handed a tricky first game at home to Everton which should be challenging, although it is most likely to be postponed based on this week's event. I'm hoping for a decent season for spurs although there has been a distinct lack of action in the transfer market, I can still see us getting a cheeky top-6 finish, which coupled with the continued downfall of Arsenal would be a successful campaign in my eyes.

Now in the world of fm11, I have just become somewhat of a Hearts legend after securing the Scottish double, winning the SPL and the Scottish cup and would of made it a treble had it not been for defeat to Celtic in the semi-final. I should have definitely applied for the vacant Hearts job in real life last week as I should have been odds-on favourite for it had they seen my amazing record.

Ah well...the hunt for a real career continues and if only I had gone in to the bandana business last week I would be laughing. Now as to leave it on a more cheery note, my song of the week is by Maverick Sabre and is a quality little tune so have a listen:

Now rugby training awaits so for now it's been emotional.
