Bank Holiday

I was very busy for the last few days, tryig to finish off two assignments for law & web applications.

Thankfully now, the law assignment is finished,and the most of the web applications report hopefully finished by the end of this week, Happy Days!

Spent the most of Sunday watching the Liverpool vs Man Utd game on Tv.

What a match, and an even better result, 2-0, and it just goes to show, how important Fernando Torres is the liverpool side, he was absolutely outstanding, he really skined Rio Ferdinand for the 1st goal, and David N'Gog added salt to the wounds with a 2nd in injury time in the Kop, fantastic!

Any win against ManYoo! is a good win. And there was no need for any beachballs!
The most pleasing sight was the look on Fergie's face at the end, a face like thunder!.

Yesterday i spent most of it, finishing off the law report, college is get very hectic because the number of exams and assesments keep comming up quicker with every passing week.
On Saturday night i could afford myself the luxury of a few games of Fifa 09 on my PS3, I've got a league started with Liverpool,just started my 6th season, having won 6 trophies at the previous season,and ended the entire season unbeaten, pretty impressive!

Anyway, that's all for now.

Done & Dusted


On Sunday Jenson Button, finally, won the 2009 F1 Driver's Championship.

Now I must admit, i was rooting for Rubens Barrichello, but it is amazing to think that the Brazilian Gp, could be such an unlucky event for a driver who grew up near the Interlagos track.


Lap 62 of the 71 lap race,Barrichello suffer a devastating puncture, that killed off his championship aspirations.


While the english media, are basking the fact the for the second year in a row, a english driver is Formula One Champion, Brazil is still waiting for its next world champion,after 2 heartbreaking disappointments in succesive seasons.
Next up Abu Dhabi on November 1st, should be interesting!

Vettel stays in the Hunt

A pole to flag victory for Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, still keeps the young German with a mathimatical chance of taking the 2009 Driver's Championship.





The 22 year-old, dominated from start to finish in Suzuka, with the only real pressure coming from Mclaren's Ker-aided Lewis Hamilton, that apart, Japan was a breeze for the Milton Keynes based team, with Italy's Jarno Trulli, who's future has been under threat in recent weeks, answering his critcs, with a well-deserved 2nd, and Lewis Hamilton following in 3rd.


Kimi Raikkonen, now as things stand without a drive for 2010, obviously that should change in the coming months, with Mclaren & Toyota rumoured to be vying for his services, the Flying Finn finished 4th in his Ferrari, Williams Nico Rosberg in 5th, Nick Heidlfeld for BMW-Sauber in 6th Place.





The final two points places went to the championship contenders, Rubens Barrichello(7th) & Jenson Button (8th), The Brawn Gp pair indulging in an exercise of damage limitation after falling foul of the race steward's in Saturday's Qualifying.





Button has drawn critisism from many corners through-out the summer,and in more recent races for only doing barely enough to tease out ans maintain a slim lead in the driver's title race, as BBC F1 commentator Martin Brundle put in recently, he felt Button was "Reversing his way to the title", As a fellow Englishman, Brundle obviously feels that Jenson is not being as dominant as he should be given Brawn's superiority in the early races of the season.





And with some vindication, it is nearly 4 months since Button crossed the line in Istanbul for his 6th win from 7 starts, since then is form has dropped alarmingly, substandard performances in qualifying and in races,added to that a 1st lap crash in Belgium, 2 victories to his team-mate Barrichello in Valencia & Monza, has put F1's elder statesman within a chance of the title at the age of 37.





As for Vettel, he too has made crucial mistakes at various stages this season, added to that the uncertain of the health of the Renault V8 powertrain in the back of the RB5, Red Bull must now thread carefully with regard to Vettel's engine in the remaining 2 rounds.





Next up, is Interlagos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Any just like Lewis Hamilton, last Year, Button will have to overcome, a feverish partizan home-crowd, and a burning national pride, to deprive Barrichello of the title in his hometown.
