Pompey 2 - 1 Man Utd.
Just sayin'. Less arm pumping joy, more gleeful giggles.

stuart o'grady won the paris-roubaix, the one day cycling classic dubbed 'the hell of the north'... fan-farking-tastic, is all i can say.

have been a great fan of his, and of aussies in european cycling, for a long while (can't wait til all this football is over and we can have le tour

) as my old man was a good rider in his day.

geelong beat sydney, yes!! and we sit two games clear atop the table, yes yes!!

sydney beat us to clinch their spot in the grand final (which they then won, p-tooie!) two years ago, so revenge is sweet. [aah, sigh long in comfort extremis...]

and sweeter, as this result now in the second half of the season means sydney have a long way to go to even make the finals play-offs. ha!

c'arn the cats!! yes!!

o, it's just me...

but the matildas, the women's football team, won a spot into the quarter finals in china at the world cup!! first time we ever won a world cup game and we go and win one, the draw against norway (world rank 4) and needed just a draw against canada (rank 9) and we did it!! in stoppage time, bang! wow!! yay!!

i hope to be back here next week, the mighty geelong cats are playing tonight to secure their spot in the grand final and we should win the flag, having crushed all before us in the home and away phase of the competition.

geelong haven't won a flag (the australian football league [AFL] premiership is denoted by the epithet 'flag', even though the team gets a trophy. hmmm...) since i was a foetus, so this is a significant period in my life, people!

and back i come, bam!

the cats not only won, they obliterated the opposition inflicting the biggest winning margin in a grand final ever!!!

o, yea! o, salvation! o, this feels sooooooooooooo good!! i had such a good day. i'm having such a good weekend. and it is all barely believable. barely. o, it's real!

unreal!! yay, etc...

For fans of American baseball:

I'm currently enjoying a match between my Philadelphia Phillies and division rivals Washington Nationals. A win today coupled with a loss by the New York Mets means the Phillies will see the playoffs -- something that hasn't happened for 14 years.

Dare I even post this for fear of the jinx?

Yeah, okay.

Indeed they did. In an electric and suspenseful game, too. Couldn't have asked for better. Next stop -- playoffs!

I'm just getting in position for the Rugby World Cup result tomorrow.

Oh yes.

I watched a South African gentleman interviewed on the TV earlier. He was sitting in a bar but appeared entirely coherant:

"England don't deserve to win the World Cup. They've been rubbish for four years and have had one good week. No."

He looked at the camera and there, just for a moment, you could see the fear. The idea that his team would not win was too much for him to admit.

I love sport.

This weekend is good for sports fans.... England becoming the first retainers of the Rugby World Cup and Lewis kicking Alonso's ass to be the first rookie to win the F1 Championship in the last race of the year. ITV is getting some serious love from me this weekend!

Reiland-Yutani

11:31 / 22.10.07

What a frightfully disappointing weekend!

Didn't hugely mind about the Rugby but Lewis really did show he wasn't ready to win the championship with that damned rookie mistake...

Ahh, no team's held the title for two consecutive World Cups (he said rationalising desperately). It'd have been great if we had won. But I'm glad that we had the chance to defend the cup in the final.

I honestly thought we were lucky to get to the semi's.

Suck it up, Danski.

A truly mindblowing evening at Pittodrie (it's gaelic for 'dung heap', donchernow) was had by all except the unfortunates who'd traveled west from Denmark's capital. To see their team, as the teletext put it "crushed". I really can't remember walking away from a game there on sunbeams before, but this time. Like, 2-0 was enough; no-one expected much after the doing at Motherwell on Sat. No-one. But 4-scud. 4.

You fucking dancer.

Bring on Everton, Bayern Munich, whatevs. Now is the time of Fantasyland.

y've got bayern munchen, then a meeting with anderlecht or bordeaux if you get past the german side.

four! mebbe mogwai'll write an album for the aberdeen heroes?? (wonder if you can meet the toffies at manchester stadium - that'd be a hoot!)

Mogwai are Celts. There is no way we will beat Bayern, but it's still exciting, and I did rather think that about Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk and getting out of a group that looked like a Champions League one. So.

The airhorns (and bam-bams) provided fans for the night were a great touch and hopefully will return in force in February.
