I Got All My Wishes

Yesterday was the long-awaited Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City.

As soon as it started, it became very clear that Manchester United had 'parked' a bus in front of their goal and were doing everything they could to prevent Manchester City from playing football.

Everything that Manchester City tried failed; Manchester United really tried to control the game by playing defensive football.

What did seem strange; was that the Manchester United players did not seem to be actually playing any football.

What they did do, was devise all sorts of tricks whereby they could get the opposition to tackle them badly and then dive and get the other player sent off.

Sadly for them none of their plans worked, and in the last moment before half-time Vincent Company, the Manchester city captain scored a magnificent goal.

It was hilarious to see the expressions of disbelief, on the faces of Manchester United it was wonderful to see, they were shocked that the unimaginable   could possibly happen to them.

After half-time it seemed for the first five maybe 10 minutes that Manchester United were finally playing football.

Sadly this did not seem to happen, and for most of the rest of the game all the action was down in front of the Manchester United goal, where Manchester city had a lot of chances.

Miraculously at the end of the game, despite there being no injury time, 5 minutes extra time was added, I would love to know how Alex Ferguson always manages to get this.

At every game when Manchester United has not scored a goal, suddenly there's always extra time when they usually manage to get their goal.

Yesterday again they got extra time, but this time no matter how they tried, they did not manage to get a goal.

Manchester City won the game with one goal; it now looks like they will win the Premier league, and not Manchester United who usually win.

I'm very happy, I got all my wishes, Chelsea won against Barcelona, Bayern Munchen beat Real Madrid, and now my third wish that Manchester City win against Manchester United has also happened which is wonderful.                              

Sunday, 29 April,2012. It's anyone's guess who will win.

Last night we watched Match of the Day on BBC TV, the signs are that the end of the season has become extremely nerve wracking.

For some supporters it has been very upsetting, as their clubs have either gone down already or are in danger of being relegated.

Wolverhampton football club have already been relegated to the Championship, however it was wonderful to see them put in a brilliant effort.

At one point Swansea had three goals and Wolves had none, that soon changed and the game ended with a draw, four goals each.

Wonderful to see the Wolves team play so well, I'm really glad they had such a good last game in the Premiership.

It means that they can start life in the Championship with their heads held high and who knows maybe they'll be back very soon.

I also saw a sad sight yesterday, Alex McLeish, the manager of Aston Villa was almost looking like he might cry, as his team are also in the danger zone.

Then I was cheered up even more when I watched Chelsea play Queens Park Rangers, the final score was Chelsea 6 Queens Park Rangers 1.

What made me laugh was the thought of Queens Park Rangers going down to the Championship, while Fulham will be happily playing in the premiership.

Mark Hughes, the manager of Queens Park Rangers, was briefly the manager of Fulham football club, he left saying that they had no ambition.

He needed a football club have plenty of ambition, sadly it seems that he may have made the wrong choice as it looks like Queens Park Rangers are in trouble now.

Tomorrow there will be excitement of watching Roberto Mancini's Manchester City taking on Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

Of course I'm hoping that the apple cart will be upset and Manchester city will win, that really would be excellent.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game and the last games next weekend, which will be very exciting.

Then on 19 May, is the final of the Champions League, between Bayern Munchen and Chelsea,
t's anyone's guess who will win.

A Weekend of Excitement and Tension.

Toni del Renzio 

It's been a pleasant weekend, with lots of excitement and tension surrounding the final games of the football season 2011-2012.

There have been some sad results already, Wolves football club have already been relegated, after they lost to Manchester City yesterday.

A shame this has happened, as Wolverhampton football club have been kept in the Premier league for the last three years by their excellent ex-manager Mick McCarthy.

The decision by the owner of the club, to sack him so close to the end of the season was very short sighted, and has resulted in them going down to the Championship.

The owner decided that they wanted a better manager, they even started interviewing people and there were several prospective new managers.

People like Alan Curbishley and Steve Bruce, both with proven track records as football managers, and both were very interested in the job.                                 

Then Wolves decided they would stop the interviews and gave the job to McCarthy's assistant Terry O'Connor.

A strange decision seeing as they wanted a better manager than Mick McCarthy, hopefully they won’t sack Terry O’Connor and will give him a chance next season.

Next weekend it will become clear which other clubs will be going down and which ones will be going up, but the tension will go on until the last games are played.

Then we have the European football Championship to look forward to, then that is the end of football for the summer, until the next season starts in August.

Before that there is summer to look forward to, and there are two visits from two very good friends to anticipate.

Something we both need, as we spend a lot of time with just the two of us, we do like each other's company we always have, but it's also good for both        of us to see other people.

I can hardly wait to see Jaya; she will be here at the beginning of May for three wonderful days.

Another good friend, Angela will be coming to visit in August, knowing that these two lovely friends will be visiting has given me a huge boost.

It will be brilliant to see these two friends again, nice to have such good friends coming to spend some time with us.

I'm so looking forward to socialising with our dear friends, its going to be excellent to have friends spending time with us here.

Painful MS arm spasms



Despite it being difficult to fall asleep, my nose was blocked pain shooting up and down my body, I managed it.

Glorius sleep even woke up quite quietly but my pleasure at getting a soft awakening was soon disturbed by painful MS arm spasms.

Could not even yawn softly without it setting off a veritable tidal wave or waves of painful spasms.

Poor Richie what a rude awakening for him, he did not even spend anytime waking up instead came over and massaged my legs and got me a hot water bottle for by my legs.

Then it was time for water and pills and my food supplement drink which is an excellent way to take a few more calories on board.

Decised to take it very easy today as I noticed that I was very tired today.

Pleased that despite the painful arm spasms still did my arm exercises and now post delicious cup of lentil soup am watching football West Ham against Manchester City.
