Finally got round to updating the About Me page today so now it actually conforms to the title slightly better. Have been busy all day laying vinyl in the bathroom which was a nightmare to get round the toilet and radiator, also delivered some BT phonebooks to houses in my area, which I will be doing again tomorrow. Am a bit skint at the moment so taking pretty much any job I can, with that and decorating my room its taking up pretty much all of my time.
Now onto the most important thing that happened today, the champions league group stage draw in Monaco. The main focus was on Manchester United who came out of the first pot into group E, drawn against them were Villarreal C.F., Celtic FC and Aalborg BK.
Pretty good draw, as David Gill commented it should be a pretty easy group to qualify out of having avoided some of the larger teams that for some reason were placed in low pots like Athletico Madrid for example who drew into Liverpool’s group. I would expect to win all the home games, with only the away tie at Celtic Park being particularly tricky. Don’t get me wrong all the teams in the group are good, you can’t be bad to have qualified its simply in the name of the competition, however as the current holders not progressing would be very shocking.
I felt a bit sorry for CFR Cluj who the Sky Sports commentators seemed to be shocked by, even though they had beaten Steaua Bucuresti to become champions of the Romanian league. Sure it will be a new adventure for the team but surely one they are looking forward to as both champions and the beneficary of playing Chelsea home and away, which will bring a large increase in revenue their way.
Next to discuss my two favourite teams, Manchester City and Liverpool. The former having to win on penalties to get through to the UEFA cup and Liverpool needing a very late and also fortunate goal from Dirk Kuyt. Having looked possible to both be on their way out of Europe before it really started I was a bit gutted for both to make it through but hopefully the lack of skill will show in the next round and they will save us all having to watch them miserably perform on ITV.
