For years managers have been criticised for picking the same players who failed to deliver on the big stage previously. Be interesting to see this time how the press and England followers react to mistakes being made by inexperienced by promising players.
Just finishing Lisey's Story by Stephen King. Had it since my wife bought it for me on release in 2006 but after 3 failed attempts at trying to get through the first few chapters I have finally managed to stick with it. Doesn't start paying off until the 350 page mark so one for hardcore King...
Finally got to a showing of 12 years a slave on Tuesday. Considering the subject matter it seemed to be lacking in character depth in some places, I imagine there was a lot left on the cutting room floor. The whole Brad Pitt part was disappointing, it seems as though as a producer he wanted the...
The whole show just has a feel of going around in circles now. They are all heading towards Terminus where they will no doubt meet another community where all is not as it seems and Rick has to step up and save the day. Also, Monday should have been shocking, horrific TV but to me it just felt...
Can't wait for Gravity. Apparently it is well worth seeing in 3D and you can't say that for many films. Not a recent film by any means but saw Eyes wide shut the other day, thought it was brilliant. Had never bothered with it before as heard it was pretty poor and I'm not a great fan of Cruise...
Oscar clearly wanted to give Bruno another chance to prove he can play in that role. One game where pretty much the whole team was poor was never going to convince Oscar that his idea was a non-starter. Feel for Ince though, MoM performance and then dropped.

Got a new tv recently and it has 3D. Didn't choose it for the 3D but some of the films are quite good and the kids love it on some of the things they watch.
I think the quality of opposition yesterday made the performance all the more impressive. Inevitable he will have a two game ban due to 10 yellows soon, will be interesting how we cope without him.
