We won an amazing 2-0 last Friday.

We won an amazing 2-0 last Friday. Spizz could'nt play but fellow Aston Villa fan Mick did, playing a sterling role at the back. However, Mick was on the losing side courtesy of a couple of
goals from Charlie and some defensive organisation carried out by Big Dave. I played (albeit slowly) on the right. I think I am just playing out the last few games of my career since the
pace has completely gone. I suppose I just have to wait and see.

We won four-three on Friday although there was a disputed goal.

There was a disputed goal when the opposition stopped for a possible handball and we played on.
We eventually won four three, which included quite a soft goal. There was still argument in the pub afterwards about the disputed goal. When this died down, Spizz outlined his lack of religious beliefs. He examined all the religions and even went to a Buddhist ceremony, which he enjoyed but did not alter the belief that when we have gone then that is it.

The football tour might go to Duesseldorf (Germany) instead. However, there was a lukewarm reception to this idea. I suppose we don't want to be whipped by foreign opposition!!

Spizz has asked me to concentrate on green issues.

Spizz has asked me to concentrate on green issues from an atheistic point of view. This is response to a missive I sent him moaning about the lack of hits this blog is getting. I have not
heart to tell Spizz that I am a practising Catholic and as for green issues, the main differences
will or will not be made in the United States, Russia, Brazil, India and China. Some Chinese cities
are already choking on their pollution and considering that the Amazon rainforest is disappearing at a rate of knots and there is not a lot I can do about it. However, here goes.

As many UK electricity consumers should switch to Ecotricity, which claims that it invests more
in green electricity that all the other electricity companies put together.

On the atheistic side I have to read Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" but I am going to get a copy. I suppose I am agnostic about Fabio Capello but at least his side beat the mighty Swiss last night. I thought it was a neat goal by Jermaine Jenas, which helped calm the nerves. Capello is a
pretty tough customer.

I think Spizz scored a hat trick last Friday!!

On Friday night we tasted bitter defeat as Spizz swept through for a hat trick. He seemed to exploit holes in our defence. I played quite well on the right although I was the victim of some non-passing. We lost five-three and that included two own goals, one conceded by our goalkeeper. I thought we were going to win because we were playing some decent football.

Sorry to get it wrong for readers, but Spizz told me later that he only got two goals. We still lost
though.
