Cricket, not so lovely cricket ...

So here we go. There was Cooksley, Williams et al saying the usual stuff about, Merlene Ottey, Don Quarrie, Michael Holding, Bob Marley your boys took a hell of a beating. It's like when Engerland won the Rugby, they all come out of the woodwork. Well as I say, and will continue to say one swallow does not a summer make. Put it this way, I decided to watch some of the Manx derby, put a chicken in the oven, talk to a mate of mine back from his hols in Brazil, turned the cricket back on ... and it was all over. I did the usual shake of the head and switched it over. The West Indies are abysmal. They are so bad that they made Steven Harmison look like the best bowler ever to pick up a bleedin ball. Oh well.

Anyway, Charlton put up a stirling performance to beat the old Rumbellows cup holders 1-0. A lovely Matt Holland curler did the damage, and I would like to say that that was Matts best game in the red shirt. He was everywhere, tackled like I never thought he would and was Captain Fantastic. Then we have Carlton Cole. Carlton played okay, linked up well, tried to hold up the ball but in reality came up against a good pairing in Ehiogu and Southgate. When he was subbed he got a little stroppy, and walked straight to the dressing room. Big deal. But the furor coming out of the CAFC email list. Some of the muppets on that list should take a look at themselves. They have these players cacooned in some higher plane where human emotions and actions don't exist. Bloody Carlton Cole is a 19 year old lad, who was dissapointed in being subbed. I have done the same playing on a Sunday morning, so get over it !!!!

I forgot to tape Wrestlemania XX last night. Blimey, wrestling it's all fixed ain't it??? Yeah and your point is!!!! It's quality soap opera, much better than Eastenders, but then again it takes all sorts.
