In 11 years at Everton manager David Moyes failed to get them above Manchester United in the league. This year he has managed it in just 6 games.

An interesting weekend football wise.  Arsenal won.  Again!  We are top of the league!  I doubt it will last long, we have to play some hard teams and of course, there is Southampton who are a team that can be underestimated.  I guess the result of the Scum and Chelski was the best available as well, interesting with the red card being given in that match considering that the player should have been sent off when he got his yelllow!Anyway, my wife, who has been ill recently, is getting better.  I had to do the school run in the afternoon during the week, which while hard for me from a work perspective, was amazing when it comes to being a father.  Moments like that are moments I have to treasure as they do grow up so fast!
Anyway, I hope you like the advert.  Many fell for it and ruined their phones!  I found it amusing.

Mezut Ozil has announced he joined Arsenal cause he wants to pick up trophies. He's going to be as disappointed as the time I went to a gay club and tried to pick up women.

Well, we did win something last season, the best Premier league photo of last season.  Okay, we did not win it, a photographer called Adrian Dennis did, but the photo featured us and that has to count for something right?
Saying that, at the moment, things are looking good.  We won away to Sunderland thanks to a dodgy referee decision.  Sunderland had scored a goal that should have put them level at 2-2, the referee had already blown for a free kick when he could have played advantage, which could be argued to be one bad decision, but as a goal was scored, which he disallowed, technically it was a goal scoring opportunity and therefore I feel that we should have been down to ten men, which means that Ramsey would probably not have scored his second goal to make things 3-1.  Last season we gained quite a few points thanks to decisions going our way, which makes a change as in previous seasons we actually lose quite a few points due to this.  Instead that well loved right winger was sent off instead!  Our new signing was great and it is nice to be top of the table, be it only for less than twenty four hours.

Red Sky July at Little Rabbit Barn

Last night was a great night, a trip to watch Red Sky July again, and again at Little Rabbit Barn which is a great place to listen to them.  Last year we decided to go back again to listen to other acts, and so far we have not, but both my wife and I intend to go back again if we can. Then the acts before Red Sky July was a girl, her brother helping as well, Rafferty & Logan McKelvey and they were then followed by Jakob Deist.  Jakob Deist was on last night as well as a joung girl called Hannah Kessler.  As before, I loved the night. 

Thanks to my Mum for baby sitting the kids who seem to have adapted well to going back to school.  My daughter is now in the Juniors and is about to experience the loss of her last break soon.  The kids seem to be settling into their new classes and I will get to meet the teachers later this month.  My wife has met at least one before.  Anyway, time to go now...

Stress Free Airport Parking

Stress Free Parking my big fat bottom!  We arrived in Luton and as instructed rang them once we had collected our luggage.  We were warned at that time that there would be a wait, and there was one. The reason for this was traffic, not something that we were told about.  Now, I understand that there will be times that things like this will happen in any job, but considering that they had our mobile telephone numbers, I guess there was always the option of ringing us to warn us about the wait, or sending us a text, or even looking at the arrivals information that is available to send the cars round anyway.

So yes, I am annoyed as despite paying for a service where we do not have to wait too long for our car to arrive we had to wait.  At least it was not raining.  The down side was that I did not get home quickly enough to watch the winning goal in todays game.  No big deal really, but we are all knackered from our journey.  I am almost looking forwards to my return to work on Tuesday to mention this to the manager at work...
