Sports...

In CFL playoffs today, the BC Lions beat the Roughriders in OT, and I'm pretty annoyed. McCallum should NOT have missed an 18 yard field goal at the end - that's such a disappointment! (Last time I checked, Toronto was beating Montreal 19-10, but oh well, not a fan of either team. I suppose I *should* cheer for the Argo's now? I guess they're better than Montreal or BC at least, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.)

After the pain of that particular loss though, I went and checked the Premier League scores and found that Manchester United had defeated Newcastle 3-1 on the strength of two Rooney strikes and one Van the Man penalty kick. I am pleased. Unfortunately, the teams I wanted to lose this weekend didn't fulfill their part of the bargain, so the Reds weren't able to gain any ground in the league table. I hold out hope though that they'll be able to fight off the slow start and climb back atop the league by seasons end.

In other sports news, the Manitoba Moose have had a pretty good start to their season, at 10-4-0-2, and having gained at least 1 point in eight straight games. Go Moose! Also, the Saskatoon Blades are off to a great start this WHL season. The Kitchener Rangers are also doing pretty decent. I know, it's not NHL, but we gotta take what we can get! Go Moose/Blades/Rangers!

Canada defeated the United States today 2-1 to win the Gold medal in the Four Nations Cup women's hockey tournament. Way to go girls!

Sucker. True Blue(blue bommers) are better. We got to the Grey Cup. Sorry to let you down but with how good Chelsea and Arsenal are ManU should be up there, they aren't going to catch up. Guess it's ego's in the dressing room Van the man and Rooney the shoemmone.
Next year. Unless they go down. Crystal Palace are playing good. Ha ha Liverpools above you!!. Also good for the league with Everton and the other teams at the top for a change.
