Wasting time.

It has been a crazy old week. Twelve pages of sport is cool but don't expect that every week. Can't wait for a weekend of long lie-ins. I'm probably far less stressed than those who have done such a good job with the re-launch though.

Here's hoping Loughborough Dynamo do the business tomorrow and the same to Shifnal (who play leaders Atherstone). Could do with a nice easy backpage next week with the headline 'champions' complete with champagne pictures etc. Whatever happens though Dynamo have done a fantastic job to get where they are.
It doesn't seem long since the first game of the season on August 11 where they lost at home to Alvechurch.
Second (or maybe even third) might still be good enough for promotion but they face a long wait for confirmation from the FA's leagues committee and the Unibond League that nobody wants. It will be a deserved reward for a fantastic season.

May 3 is the LoughboroughCharity Cup final between them and Shepshed Dynamo. Hopefully it will be a league fixture as well next season.

One thing to get off my chest seeing as I have bored a few people in the office with it - Wednesday night's game between Barcalona and Manchester United.
Yeah i'm sure the Barca based papers will be critical of the visitors' negative style - but for someone's whose football is so hyped up I found Barca horrible to watch because of how easily they went down.
It was ridiculous to see so many of the world's most skilled players going down with a minimum of contact and wrecked the game as far as I was concerned, cancelling out the pretty (but lacking in end product passing).

What's the point in diving like that? They even made Ronaldo look like a (semi) balanced individual. They could probably take a better penalty though. :)
