Champions League Final Review

Alright guys hear is my review of the Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Enjoy! Pre Match It was all about the fabled 'La Decima' for Real Madrid, as if 9 European Cups was not enough?! On the other side was Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid, the recently crowned La Liga champions. For Atletico just getting to the final was a huge achievement considering where they were when Simeone took charge, some pundits said if they were to lift the trophy it would be...

Heineken Cup Final Review

I know it's a few days late but here is my review of the final, which was played in the Millenium Stadium last Saturday between Saracens and Toulon. Pre Match The final was Saracens vs Toulon, but the way it was marketed was more Farrell vs Wilkinson. The current England fly half against arguable the greatest English fly half ever. Pre match the favourites were Toulon, they were after all the defending champions, and had world class internationals in near every position. However Saracens...

A Brief History of My Mobile Phones

So where did it all begin? Nokia 3310 So where else would it begin? The one of many legendary Nokia 'brick' phones as they were known. But this one at the time was different, it had polyphonic ringtones! I remember my first purchase was Blazin' Squads Flip Reverse. That made my year on the rare occasion somebody would actually call me. Also the small matter that the 3310 had the new Snake game...Snake...

World Cup 2014

Well I for one cannot wait for the World cup to start in Brazil...Brasil?? Despite being a Welshman, I would like to see England do well, which to my Welsh reader I promise you will be the only time. I am a Manchester United fan so would like to see the likes of Rooney, Jones and Smalling perform well. My Pick for the Winner? Despite them being boring to watch sometimes, cannot see past Spain. Their squad is immense in every position, and undeniable their tactics under Del Bosque works...

UKIP...discuss

Well, in the past year the rise of the United Kingdom Independance Party (UKIP...duhh) has been impossible to ignore. Their rise from a laughing stock, to a serious contender in British politics has been enthralling to watch. Also there is an element of comedy about their rise, from horrendous quotes, to genuine blunders. The Positives  First of all yes I believe there are positives to this party. For the first time in decades a political party is actually in touch with the majority...

The peculiar story of Deal or No Deal

Pot luck, or just advanced probability? Just read a really good blog on Deal or No Deal, you know that show with Noel Edmunds and the phone with nobody on the other end? Well it argued whether you can in any mathematical way, have some method to the madness. Or whether it is in fact pure luck, a lottery as such.  I used to watch the odd show, and remembered when there would be a player who would have 'predicted' what each box contained. Then be on the verge of tears when their...

Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad??

Both are raved by millions. One contains Dragons, gore and Sean Bean dying. The other containing crystal meth, a school teacher and a chicken restaurant. But which is better? (In my opinion of course.) First Game of Thrones, now in its fourth season it is more than going strong. The plot has taken many twists and turns, most noticeably some certain main characters dying unexpectedly (will mention no names!) The best part of the show in my opinion is the characters, and how they change...

The Simpsons...sorry not funny.

Sorry guys. I've watched a lot of Simpsons episodes during university and I am still yet to find an episode genuinely funny. I'm a huge Family Guy fan so people who say The Simpsons is funnier actually makes me laugh more than the show itself. Family guy, despite it slowly running its course is still at least a dozen laughs a show. Where as with Simpsons I don't even think I have laughed more than once during a show. I don't even see how The Simpsons have been going on for this long with...

Orange is the New Black!

So yeah...started watching that after being told "it's a girly type of show...but it's really good...and has lesbians in it" So with reluctance I started watching it, and fair play it delivered! So yeah if you want to start watching it, don't read on as I would find it hilarious if I ruined it for you... The theme song is annoying. I don't know why, but I just find it annoying and that's all I will say on it. But credit has to be given to the clever prisoner montage of actual prisoners...

Manchester United manager appointment!

Moyes out, Van Gaal in! Well, we knew it was coming the moment David Moyes was given his marching orders. With regards to the Moyes sacking I felt that something had to give. From what I could see from players twitter accounts and from the body language of the management staff, Moyes had lost the dressing room. He seemed to have lost control of the club, the fact that his sacking was leaked a day before the club officially parted company with him was evidence enough. But how much blame...
