Shay progressing every day… to full fitness
posted @ 17:05 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
Shay is currently back to diving again, this week on mats, and next week the plan is to take the mats away and see how he gets used to hitting the ground again, as per usual.

Shay improving by the day!
posted @ 11:02 in [ Newcastle Utd ]
When Shay was asked about his latest injury setback, you have to give him credit for putting things in perspective, saying …
““I’ve had a punctured bowel in the past, so dislocating my shoulder was like having a tooth filled in by comparison! I’ve had pain before, it’s part and parcel of football and it’s about how you deal with it.” (more…)

“German pain from Spain!”
posted @ 11:04 in [ World Cup ]
It was a painful experience living in Germany to watch Spain dominate most of the 90 minutes of football. I think Spain must’ve played their best game in the whole tournament last night. It’s almost like they knew, if they didn’t come up with the goods, they’d be…

My Germany versus Spain prediction
posted @ 17:13 in [ World Cup ]
“Football’s a funny old game”. I would never bet on either team coming through tonight. Going on Germany’s form in this tournament, Spain should get a whipping perhaps, but you never know whose going to get the better start and hit the half-time mark with goals in their locker. I’m a

Germany 4:1 England: Who would’ve thought this scoreline?
posted @ 10:42 in [ Newcastle Utd -World Cup ]
It is from a German point of view a dream to put in a 4:1 scoreline against any team in any competition, but to do so against England, your arch rivals is something that nobody on German soil could’ve dreamt of. Even Angela Merkel (Germany’s leading lady) came out from G8 to make a “Congratulations and keep it going” speech to the press. I said to my wife after the game “It’s more than just football”. There were convoys of cars going around our town for hours after the game here in Germany, wondering how we put 4 goals past an English defence. (more…)

Germany versus England – 1966 revisited?
posted @ 15:41 in [ Newcastle Utd -World Cup ]
Lots will be written and talked about between now and Sunday. What a game. I kind of hoped for a England / Germany final, but that of course was never to be in the way the groups were laid out. Pity. It could’ve gotten 1966 out of the system once and for all.

Am I glad that France are out of the World Cup?
posted @ 15:39 in [ Newcastle Utd -World Cup ]
As an Irish person, you ask yourself “am I happy to see France make a shambles out their World Cup?” and it honestly doesn’t give much comfort or joy at all. It almost makes me angry all over again about Henry’s handball in the first place to send France to the World Cup. We’ll get over it one day, but not just yet!

Spoke with Shay – Rehabilitation coming along well
posted @ 12:35 in [ Newcastle Utd -World Cup ]
Was in contact with Shay yesterday to find out how his rehab on his left shoulder is getting on. He tells me that things are going well and as expected. He’ll be working on it of course throughout the summer to get himself in top-shape for the coming season.
