Official Iron Man Theatrical Trailer 2008

This is the first Irom Man movie trailer and it looks awesome. can't wait for it to come out. Apparently 1 May 2008.

Effects look awesome and let us pray it has a decent storyline. Robert Downey Jnr gets my tick as Tony Stark.

Sneaky Sound System

Sneaky Sound System's are an Australian dance band that has been around for a few years, but this year they have broken into the mainstream music scene with their latest album. The band consists of lead singer Connie Mitchell, Producers Angus McDonal and Daimon Downey (who along with Connie, predominantly appear on the video clips), and band members Peter Dolso, Jono Sloan and Felix Blosom (this trio do not appear so much).

They have not been an overnight success as they started life as an independent act. However their catchy tunes caught the attention of a number of the public and they have supported superstars such Jamiroquai and Robbie Williams when they have toured Australia.

The first single of their latest album was "Pictures" a very catchy dance and funky number which climbed to 19 on the ARIA charts (Aussie Record Industry Association). This was followed by the songs "I love it" and "UFO" (my personal favorite song) which has provided the group with their biggest chart topper to date (number 11). Their album also peaked at number 9 on the chart.

However, their biggest accomplishment has been then garnering 6 ARIA nominations (the most of any artist this year) in the categories of Best Album, Best Group, Best Dance Release, Breakthrough Album, Single of the Year for "UFO" and Best Video - "Pictures"

Connie Mitchell has received world wide acclaim for her vocal skills and features on Kanye West's "Can't tell me nothing" of his latest album "Graduation".

Mo the Ho, has left the building

The self proclaimed “delusional one” (me being the “proclaimist” – is this even a word??) had decided that he has had enough and has quit Chelsea.

This is HUGE news in the footballing world. The man who has bought and brought 2 league titles, one FA Cup and 2 worthless cups is gone. It can be easily argued that he has been the greatest coach Chelsea has ever had.

He arrived at Chelsea with a lot of hoopla in 2004, proclaiming himself as the “special one” after winning the Champions League with Porto. The owner gave him the money and resources (that is money to buy players) he needed to bring glory to the club.

For most footballing nuts, it is evident why he has left. For those not in the know, the relationship between Jose and the billionaire owner of Chelsea, Roman Abramovich has deteriorated over the past 12 months through a series of public spats between the two.

Roman has a stated aim of winning the Champions League title but this has not been fulfilled (thanks to real teams like Liverpool). Further, the tem has not had a good run during the premiership season with a loss to Aston Villa and a draw against Blackburn.

Things culminated with a draw against that powerhouse of Norwegian football – Rosenburg yesterday. Further, the match was enjoyed by a half full Stamford Bridge (clearly all those Chelsea supporters have jumped of the bandwagon and are probably on their way to Emirates Stadium).

The style of play seems to have also turned off quite a few with Chelsea succumbing to the long ball style of game instead of the quick passing, exciting styles other teams play on.

Something had to give and it was Mo the Ho!

So what now for Chelsea – speculation about a new coach will become rampant and my money is on Guus Hiddink. He is currently coach of Russia, where a large proportion of his salary is paid by Roman. Guus has coached a national team and a club side in the past (Australia and PSV Eindhoven) so could do the same here, given that Russia may not qualify for Euro 2008)

There are others who may be keen – Jurgen Klinsman was purported as a replacement for Jose’ over the past summer. Names such as Phil Scolari and Didier Deschamps are also being mentioned.

As for Jose, I am sure he will get offers and will take some time to see what he will do. I am sure the position of coaching Portugal will be of interest to him. If the England FA is half as smart as they make out to be, they should consider him for the England job.

Chelsea – well those guys have a big match against Manchester United this weekend. They will also play MU without Frank Lampard, Drogba and Carvalho and now no coach. Who knows what could happen. MU could have the easiest match against Chelsea in some time or could face a fired up team wanting to make a statement.

Britney Spears making a statement

Britney Spears, the once famous pop princess (a long, long time ago) has been lampooned from her performance at some American awards show. But we should maybe step back and think about what she has really done while trying to get a hit, one more time.

While Justin Timberlake brought sexy back, Brit is showing the world that you can strut around in your underwear with a bit of a belly, looking 'dazed' and still feel good about yourself.

Her performance at this award show was really about her making a statement to the world about the obsession some (ahem...fashion industry) have about people looking like mutated stick insects.

Afterall, what is wrong with a women with a bit of a stomach? So what if she has a chest and something in the back. Heck, I like women with some junk in the truck. They look more natural that way, as god intended. i do not want to look at someone and worry that they may fall through a grate on the side of the road, or get blwon away during the next gust of wind.

So the hecklers should sit back and take note - Britney was all about brining the "belly back"

However, not all is well with me regarding this matter. One thing that did tick me off was her fan who posted a teary retort to the world telling them to leave Britney alone. Come off it mate, grow up a little. It is just Britney Spears and people do not really care so much (apart from clowns like me with blogs like this)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

It finally happened, after years and years of trying and receiving passes from my boys when standing in-front of goals, I finally put the ball in the back of the goal.

And it was not an own goal!!

I finally scored a goal.

Dev Vagel - GOAL SCORER

Let me paint you a picture of how it happened.

We won the ball on the right side and quickly moved it up the flank. I was in the middle and started running with the play. The ball was passed between two guys and then to the overlapping central midfielder. I was running to the left of him and as he got into the box, he picked me out with a pass. I controlled it with my left foot, took another touch and then shot with my left past the keeper, with two defenders coming at me and it went into the back of the net.

WHAT A FEELING!!!

No need to get over excited yet

Portsmouth, Reading, Aston Villa, Wst Ham United, Wolverhampton.

Search through the first few weeks of most EPL seasons and the above teams have sat in first place after the first 3 or 4 matches of the season. Liverpool currently sit freshly atop the pile after their fourth game and the faithful are getting excited about it.

While it is very nice to be top (especially since it was 5 years since were here) it is not time for fans to get excited and proclaim we are going to take the title. If anything, most 'pool fans should be cautiously optimistic - for int he past, when we have got to excited and arrogant, karma has bitten us in a big way.

So my advice to all LFC supporters - enjoy the start but let us not get too cocky.

Enjoy the fact we put 6 past Derby and saw our new signings feature in the goals. Enjoy the fact that the only goals we have conceeded have been two penalties - although the second one was about as plausible as Madonna adopting a child because it was a good thing and not because it was the in thing to do at the time.

Apart from the dodgy penalty and the draw with Chelsea, the season has gone well. We are winning the matches we should be and are playing well.

Let us hope the winning and goal scoring continues.

Early losses by MU and Chelsea show how tight the season will be. More teams are competitive and so the boys in red need to be get maximum points.

Still, I am not all pessimistic. I want to enjoy this position for it has been a while.
