I’m dreaming of a cold can of Coke. For some reason, I’m canoeing down a river, but the Coke keeps appearing, inviting me. I wake, only to wonder if I’d been drinking sponges last night. It’s too early on a Sunday after a late night to get …

Another lap round the Sun

2009 is here at last! The way I see it, 2008 will go down as the year where things that you thought were certain suddenly became uncertain. The obvious thing to mention is the Credit Crunch – remember the Chewits monster ? Like that, it came …

My prediction? Pain!

Clubber Lang’s quote in Rocky III was all about inflicting pain on someone else; mine is purely is about me. I’ve been getting some peer pressure recently about going out for runs with my friends. I’ve been training for the marathon for months while one …

Dangerous Liege, sons

The Liverpool players knew they had been lucky to survive the Champions League qualifier against Standard Liege last night. Once again they put me through torture in Europe! Part of me wasn’t too bothered if we’d gone out, strangely enough. The rationale was that a) …

Keane to get going again

We’ve signed Robbie Keane! Listening to all the reaction to this transfer, it’s obvious there are two sets of supporters from each club: 1. Why did we let him go? I’m gutted! 2. Why did we sign him? He’s not worth that much! 3. Good …

Torres! Torres! Torres!

The wonderful feast of football that was Euro 2008 ended with an excellent match and a worthy winner from Fernando Torres. As a Liverpool fan, I obviously had a close eye on Spain, and it’s great to see our top man burst through and dink …

Building fitness

Had a day off yesterday to gauge if the run on Saturday had affected my troublesome legs. My lower calves were quite tight, and my weak groin is playing up slightly (no sniggering at the back!) I’ve got a long way to go (literally) before I’m …
