Wigan 2 Birmingham 0

What a match! I have not seen us dominate a match like that in ages, Birmingham only got out of their own half about 7 times all match!

Up until the first goal the match was pretty even but after that Birmingham didn't seem to know what had hit them. Ryan Taylor scored both goals; the first being a fantastic left footed stirke the second one just bounced off him a yard out, but as they say: they all count.

Damien Johnson was sent off for a horrendous challenge on Kilbane, luckily he didn't get his standing leg. He should have been sent off earlier after an identical tackle on Mario melchiot.

Valencia and palacios were immense, Birmingham just couldn't do a thing with them all match, should we get a half decent strike force in summer we are going to be a force to be reckoned with. Ryan Taylor ran his socks off all day and went off to the biggest ovation i've seen all season, i bet he was still clapping in the shower after the match! Mario Melchiot was also outstanding, both at the back and going forward.

Oh deary me

Got the shock of my life this morning when i saw Paul Jewell shagging some tart all over the front of a down market rag! Aaarggh! Not surpised he lost his concentration at wigan! It's his kids i feel sorry for, i bet they're looking forward to going back to school. His wife i feel different about. Apparantly this whole affair happened just before he left Wigan and she didn't leave him, therefore i have very little sympathy for her now.

Yesterday we got beaten at Blackburn 3-1. Our defence looked shocking, so here i now start the official BRING BACK TITUS BRAMBLE CAMPAIGN. Chris Kirkland got injured so he is now also out of the England Squad to play on Wednesday. Blackburn scored the first goal, followed shortly with Wigan being awarded a penalty, good old Emile Heskey, knew he was good for something! Marlon King bagged but i bet my Green and Balcks easter egg that he won't score another all season, the lad couldn't find his arse with both hands! We lost Wilson Palacios in the second half for a second yellow, thankfully he'll only miss one match!

It was 'Super Sunday' today on SKY, hardly super but we all know what SKY are like with the 'big four' *rolls eyes* Man United beat Liverpool at Old Trafford 3-0, Mascherano got sent off for basically being a twat. Chelsea than beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Bridge. Arsenal seem to have lost the pace big time now and need to do something about their confidence and spirit, hardly the mark of champions is it.

"We've only got ten men....."

Wigan Athletic 1 - 0 Bolton Scumderers

12th in the league now, are we now classed as 'mid table'?

The biggest talking point of the match really was the referee. I very much doubt he'll be refereeing a premier league match again anytime soon so i hope he enjoyed it. Straight from kick off Emile Heskey got smacked in the face by the ball, soon as we kicked off again Koumas went in for a challenge and got sent off. It was the most farsical sending off i've seen in ages, and wasn't deserved at all. After that set back we adapted quite well. The referee got every decision wrong this afternoon for both teams, he really didn't have a clue. It's a good job the linesmen were there to make sure he got some things right.

We dominated the first half and were rewarded with an Emile Heskey goal, yes you heard it right, Emile Heskey scoring his 2nd in god knows how many games. He's lucky that Marlon Kings so crap and the flacks getting deflected off him for a while. Just before the goal we had a Paul Scharner effort 'cleared off the line' apparantly it was over the line but i'll have to see on MOTD later on.

Second half was a different story. Bolton came out the better team and threatened our goal quite a bit, the defence held steady though and Chris Kirkland made some great saves. Marlon King finally got subbed and was replaced by Kevin Kilbane. Good tactical move by Bruce as this left Heskey up front on his own and gave us a bit more steel in our midfield. We were never going to get another goal, the main aim was to stop Bolton scoring, and we did exactly that.

Good 3 points and pay back for that 4-1 drubbing at the Shitbok.

Baby Mia

My god daughter Mia was Christened today. She was very very good, even though we had to wake her up to go through the ceremony. She just sort of sat all day just staring at everything. She's a very nosy baby! She hardly cried at all apart from towards the end at the meal. She's gorgeous!

The ceremony was nice, not too long or preachy and the vicar was lovely. Mia wouldn't let go of her! The meal was scrumy i had melon and blackberry sorbet to start, roast beef and the biggest Yorkshire pud i've ever tackled and then chocolate brownie with red berries to finish. I was on a table with Charlene, Anton, Mia, Cheryl, Ste and my mum. We had the funnest table!

There were fun and games before the meal when Antons mum made a comment which Anton challenged her about, she then said she didn't even want to be there in the first place, so charlene marched over and told her to go, which she did with Antons brother in tow! Who needs entertainment!

Today there was also the small matter of a football match going on:

Wigan 0 - 0 Arsenal

Can you believe it! We['re now 13th in the league and two places above Newcastle! Cheer up Kevin Keegan.......

Bolton occupy the relegation places too, mwahaha!!

The match today was by all accounts a dull affair but who cares what the footballs like when your in this position.

Yesterday i bought a NINTENDO WII!!! Had great fun on Mario and Sonic Olympics and wii sports. My arms are killing me now though!

Man City 0 - 0 Wigan

Whoop whoop! Our unbeaten record against City continues. The match was dull though not many chances apart from Wilson Palacios right at the end who blazed over. This weekend we've got Arsenal at home and i can't go!!! :-( My friend is having her baby Christening who i am being god parent to at 2pm on Sunday and the match has been thoughtfully moved to 4pm on the same day. I was really looking forward to seeing Arsenal particularly Cesc Fabregas.

On the subject of the christening, i'm very excited. Got a lovely dress and bought some new shoes from Asda the other week a gorgeous cream patent colour. £12, bargain!

Not really much else to report. Work's boring, at the moment i'm researching Italy in preperation for our summer holiday. Rome looks amazing!

ciao!

Bored

Work is really boring today, it's my turn in student services and it's so quiet it's untrue. At the moment i am drooling over the new Fiat 500 and eating chocolate biscuits. Nice.

How beautiful is this car!? Wish i could get one.

I do like my 'green machine' though (although i'm sure i could get a good price for it) It's caused me no end of worry this week though. The starter motor went on Sunday and i had to be bump started home by the AA. Luckily i've got parts cover on my AA breakdown cover so i could get it fixed for free at one of their recognised centres. The nearest one is in Bolton so i got bump started again Tuesday morning and we took him in to Bolton. Just going down Dene Road into Bolton however and the engine completely over heated and started billowing smoke out of the bonnet, cue another phone call to the AA. They towed me to the garage and i was told that my head gasket may have gone. Cue virtual hysterics as the price of fixing this sunk in.

I spent all day Tuesday having people saying "ooo it might be time to cut your loses" etc etc, and me figuring out how i could get another car and my loan paid off without dipping too far into my savings until the bloke from the garage rang me back. My head gasket is perfectly fine, it's just low on anti-freeze!

It's now back in my possession and running like a dream. My radio and clock are buggered though :-( However they have put some WD40 in my locks. Whoop!

Got a day off work on Monday as it's Christophers birthday (i booked the day off, chris hasn't been promoted to a patron saint or anything) so i get a lie-in and a nice day off relaxing. Certainly need it at the moment!

Big Brother USA

Ok so i've watched this briefly in the past, but this year it's being shown on British TV, which means it's a must watch!

Now the American version of BB is completely different to the British version. There are no fame hungry show offs wanting to win over the voting public, here it's purely tactical and everyone is in it to win at any cost. Contestants compete for 'head of Household' which then means they choose who gets nominated for eviction. There is then a contest to win 'veto' which means the victor can choose to save one of the nominess if they wish. On eviction day each contestant is pulled into the 'diary room' to choose who they want to leave. The person with the most votes goes.

This year is different however. It's been named 'til death do you part' and each couple on arrival in the house was paired with someone who (based on answers to questions before they went into the house) could be their soulmate. So now each couple plays the game together, nominates together, and get's evicted together.....

The contestants:

Alex and Amanda

Ryan and Allison

James and Chelsia (my favourites!!)

Matt and Natalie

Joshuah and Sharon

Adam and Sheila

Parker and Jen

Jen and Ryan went into the show as a real life couple, the unwisely chose to keep this from the group but when the couples were announced they were paired with other people! All this came out into the open and ultimately, it got Jen and Parker evicted first.
