intertoto cup

Dolly Mixtures

So a bit of a mixed bag today. Some good stuff. Newcastle United beat Lillestrom 3-0 and so that means we qualify to take part in the UEFA Cup competition this season. We have also signed Damien Duff.

And the bad stuff. Nick’s had problems with his family’s computer – couldn’t fix it. Chris didn’t get everything done today he should have done – couldn’t persuade him. I tried to be of positive contribution to the project with Weiran – I was of little help there, too.

His Master’s Voice

I went a bit mad in the HMV sale yesterday. I bought three albums! I got Razorlight‘s Up All Night (mainly because I like Golden Touch); Pink Floyd‘s The Wall and Then And Now, the greatest hits album from The Who.

I’ve listened to The Wall from start to finish. It’s good, but it takes long enough!

I also went to watch Newcastle United in the Intertoto Cup yesterday. We drew (just). We didn’t play very well at all. We lacked a bit of awareness and communication. The Norwegian side, Lillestrom, are half way through their football season, so they have had a better opportunity to prepare. I suppose, in that case, we didn’t play badly for it being the first game of the season.

My biggest annoyance, however, was the sun. It remained in our eyes until the second half, by which time I was getting a headache. Then Luque scored. Ouch! Still, I’m better now! :)
