We finally got round to watching No Country for Old Men last night. It was a brilliant film. I’ve always like the Coen Brothers films especially Miller Crossing and this ranks with the highest. Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem are especially good.

As Gus Poyet said it’s all very well having a great pre-season but that counts for nothing in the Premier League. If the club really has aspirations for the Champions League then we must go to places like Middlesborough and win. Possession is all well and good. You must create chances and then take them.

Let’s hope it’s not another season of frustration. And at the moment it is hope rather than belief.

I suppose if you are going to lose one of your best players you might as well get a good price for him. £28m though is a lot of money. Berbatov is a great player but a £28m great player ? I don’t think so. What would Pele have been worth ? £280m is my guess.

I then went one point then no score for the last two holes. I broke the golden rule of not believing your own legend and paid the price. Still won the money though.

As someone who can barely do the breast stroke, watching these chaps is incredible. It just doesn’t look humanely possible to swim this fast.

These girls are 8st (48kg) and are lifting 18st (117kg). I complain when I have help my wife with the shopping !

Although it’s the fourth major, I just can’t get excited about the USPGA Championship. It’s being held on a classic course, the field is very strong even without Tiger and Rose is giving it an English twist but it’s just not exciting. Perhaps it’s me.

It might be the Paul Nash kiss of death, but with Spurs going so well pre-season, I’m not sure if we would actually need Arshavin anyway.

I’ve played well this season and have started to think that maybe I’m some way towards becoming a decent player at last. The last few games have seen me struggling and getting a bit frustrated and my handicap has slipped back to 11. It doesn’t follow in this game that just because you have a good run, you go on to bigger and better things. The game is always a struggle.

At least I’m still top of the Grand Prix in the SOS swindle and it would mean a lot to me to win it this year. Fingers and everything else crossed !

He may be ex-Arsenal but hey let’s not hold that against him. It’s good to see Ramos is willing to bring English players to the club rather than just going abroad to get players. It looks like there are a few other signings in the pipeline so it looks like Ramos’ plan (what ever that may be) is coming together.
