Mildly disappointing to witness the glory of the England cricket team over the past few weeks, followed by a return of the ridiculous drama of playacting and referee-harrassment as seen in the Newcastle game over the weekend, along with the media sensationalism that came with it. Yep, the football season's started all right!

In other news, the beers are in the fridge, the shirt is washed, the phone's off the hook and the tissues are on the armchair in preperation for tonight. I'm ready.
