Valentines Weekend

Well, well, well

On a weekend where all of us are meant to be loved up and exchanging gifts with partners, sport again took place with some eye opening performances.

Now those lucky enough to glance away from their partner's physical features and watch abit of footy this weekend would have enjoyed the F.A Cup ties.

First there was the small matter of Southampton against Portsmouth. Which turned out to be a cracker of a game. All credit must go to the Saints as they were terrific and played better than their League 1 status suggests. The first half was pretty much all them and to be honest, they shouldve scored.

But back came Portsmouth, and, with a switch of system, they went and scored 4 at their bitter rivals. Turns out Portsmouth aren't a bad side after all.

Then the cup served us up two premiership teams gunning for a place in the next round draw. Turns out Rory Delap has become as effective as Wayne Rooney for Man United. Get him on the in that London 2012 Olympic football team for jokes! Who knows, when Brazil concede a 90th minute winner in the final from Peter Crouch's head after Delap's long throw, the South American's won't know whats hit them!

Then the two games on the Sunday were crackers, proper cup ties. All played in good spirit and i'm eagerly waiting for the replays. But Darren Ambrose's goal, turns out that potential he had 5 years ago might just have come true.


Then there was the Rugby. Scotland played immense. It's a shame they don't have the brain to go with it. Stupid enough to get reduced to 13 men, then, when Wales drew level, the ref clearly said 'one more play'. Why didn't they kick the ball straight out? Thats your one play!

On a different note, France were impeccable. I really thought Ireland would win the Grand Slam again this year, but i've been told. 20 point victors over last year champs really states how good that French team are. And without the forgotten man, whats he called, Sebastian Chabal?

England, i admit, wern't the greatest, but Brian Moore really gets on my nerves. In the end i'm just happy we won, but the first half wasn't THAT bad. We were constantly in the Italian 22, but we just couldn't finish the chances. Second half, fair play to Italy, they were good, but you kinow every year, every team stturggles with that mitre ball when it comes to kicks, and if Jonny were playing with a Gilbert, im sure the score wouldve been much different.


Either way, i think the tele served up this weekend was brilliant. And probably a better date than what your going on tonight.

Anyways enjoy your date, and remember don't eat garlic!
