Thanks all for the congrats, great conditions, great day, can't give up now, but till next year...............
David, no i have run 5 marathons in the last year and promised my legs a break.
Alco - No the break in Tenerife and sensible approach (beer, curry etc...yuk i sound like Jade Goody)) before London seemed to work and shingles seems to be beating a hasty retreat.
Coops..happy to help..you have mail.......
Doylie - legend, mail returned....
Soooooo bored.......
Swimming and cycling are such good fun, with 3 sports, I'm never bored!
That said, just desserts on the penalty save - effin cheating diving b$%^$ds.
Anyway on a seperate note, went out for my first run since Paris. Got a blister(wore the wrong socks)and i'm breaking in a new pair of runners. My last pair were on their final days when i ran Paris, which would explain why I hurt my back doing the race.
Come on Barcelona! Crush AC Milano
Cardiff also has many dull bits, but finishing in the Millenium Stadium is a delight.
So it is with all marathons - there are dull bits and really good bits - the crowds see you through the not so interesting parts, if they are present - unfortunately, it is only in the likes of London and Paris where they are prevalent most of the way.
The only way Villareal were ever going to score in a month of Sundays was by a penalty from a dive (we all knew it was coming) - otherwise they couldn't hit the side of the House of Commons from 10 yards away. Other than that, they are a really decent side, and presented real opposition, really more difficult to break down than either Real Madrid or Juve - it's just a shame they have that faction of racist fans like so many clubs in Spain.
Anyway, Sol's return last night when not match fit and the early injury to Flamini were always going to put us on the back foot - but with an average age of only 14 3/4, our young side has a lot to look forward to in the new stadium.
Dont think you could have played worse and not lost so could be a good omen for 17 May. Gotta be a chance against either of the other two.
Well - he wasn't last night, he is again now.
Arsenal not interested in playing football
or doing anything much at all really
Good job i had several pints of Hoegarden to ease my aching body and take my mind of this dreadful game.
S'pose it's the result though that counts
Glad it's the cricket season
Apart from that Surrey for promotion
No-one will now remember Villareal, except possibly as a Latin American bunch of divers, and no-one ever remembers semi finals - it's all about getting there, and we are - the first ever London side to do so, on a budget of sixpence and a bunch of teenagers.
Who's Guy?
Although if they want to have any chance of winning they probably need the kind of defensive performance they put in last night. Barca are comfortably capable of giving them the kind of hiding that would make them wish they never got to the final.
I don't normally hold with nutters invading the pitch, but the bloke who gave Henry the Barca shirt last night was a cut above.
Arsenal have to hope that Milan pull off a minor miracle tonight as I think they'd have a better chance against them than Barca.
Barca, if it's them, will really suit the Arse's style of play - like Real, who we dominated, they are adventurous and leave gaps at the back for the likes of Henry and Van Persie to exploit - bring 'em on!
bloody marathon high - old hat now
even the pain is going!!
hell of a sense of achievement is great though
Come on Barca!
Bloooooooobirds.
