PFA Player of year nominations out

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

RooneyThe nomination for the PFA Player of the year have now been announced.

PFA Player of the year

Joe Cole (Chelsea)
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
Frank Lampard (Chelsea)
Thierry Henry (Arsenal)
Wayne Rooney (Man United)
John Terry (Chelsea)

PFA Young Player of the Year

Darren Bent (Charlton)
Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Anton Ferdinand (West Ham)
Aaron Lennon (Tottenham)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man United)
Wayne Rooney (Man United)

You will notice that Rooney is nominated for both awards. I think the winner of the main award will be Rooney or Henry. Joe Cole and Lampard were excellent before Xmas but since then they have been very ordinary. Gerrard has been good but not quite good enough. Terry has a chance but Chelsea have been poor recently.

The young player award is possibly more tricky to predict. I dont think it will be Lennon even if he is in some great form at the moment. Bent is one of the top scorers (if not the top scorer in the premiership), Fabregas is developing into a top midfielder, Anton is alright and did score one of the goals of the season, Ronaldo has been amazing since the new year but before then wasnt that good. Rooney has been consistently excellent. I think this will be Rooney, Bent or maybe Fabregas.

Rooney is not likely to win both so I think he will win the main award and Bent will win the young player award.

Old Trafford on fire!!

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Old Trafford was on fire today … literally. The fire started in the new North Quardrant where builders are building the extension to Old Trafford. The small fire was caused by scaffolding and gas cylinders being used. The fire was put out within 40 minutes – 3 fire engines attended and also an aerial appliance helped put the fire out.

There are rumours apparently it was “Arsene” :)

A photo of the fire from a few miles away is in my FlickR gallery

More Tom Cruise madness

Wednesday, April 12th, 2006

Tom Cruise and Katie HolmesTom Cruise antics recently seem to be abit ‘unconventional’. It seemed to start when he was on Oprah and wont mad pro-claiming his love for Katie Holmes. The latest is regards to the ‘silent birth’ of his new child. Apparently while giving birth Katie will not be allowed to make any noise. A few weeks OK scientologists were seen taking massive placards into her home saying “”Be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable”. Deary me!!

UPDATE: (20-04-06)

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now parents to a baby girl they have called Suri – they have apparently said it means Princess in Hebrew. However it now seem that the name is not Hebrew at all and in fact the name Suri in some Indian dialect means pointy nose!! The name in Hindi is apparently a boys name. The closest translation for princess in hebrew is Sarah or Sara or maybe Sari.

Great new song

Monday, April 10th, 2006

Heard this song over the weekend on The Box. Its a great song. The song is by Nerina Pallot and is called Everybody’s gon to war. Nerina comes from Jersey and this song is actually from her 2nd album which is out in about 2 weeks. It was actually release a year ago on her own label but she is now signed up with 14th floor records. Heard the song on The Box over the weekend. Sounds brilliant. Heard it again in the car this morning and had to turn it right up. You can find more about her on her website or on her myspace page – you can listen to some of her songs there.
