Snubbed!

I am obviously biased, the fact that Justin is not nominated for any of the top awards is bullshit! Not saying that I know him or anything, but he released Part 2 on a Monday,  September 30th, instead of a Tuesday because that's the last date of eligibility for the Grammys; so I'm assuming he had that in mind. It's just my opinion, I know, but I thought Part 1 is a phenomenal album. "Mirrors" is definitely one of the best songs this year. Why aren't they up for the major awards? :( I just hope Justin wins all the awards he's nominated in (especially "Pusher Love Girl").

That's one gone...

I have no idea what Jose Mourinho is doing with the Manchester United that I left, but only 2 years later, 5-6 of my starters want to leave the club. Four of them have had their transfer list requests granted.

The first one to go? Justin Bennett.

It's even more difficult than I expected to stop myself from taking my United back. These are great players that deserve to start for Manchester United. Bennett, especially, got through United's youth system; made it into the first team at the age of 18/19; he...he should be a United player until he retires! :(

Happy birthday Giggsy!

My favorite United player turned 40 today, and still going strong on the pitch. He gave a solid, full 90 minute performance in midweek against Bayer Leverkusen, with an assist for Nani's goal at the end of the game. I wish you a very happy year, and hopefully a few more years in that United #11 jersey.

Farewell, Mark!

Today's Brazilian GP was Mark Webber's last race in Formula 1. The 37 year-old, oldest on the grid this season, decided that he's had enough and would move on to endurance racing with Porsche for next season. It's a shame that he never got to be a world's champion, he surely deserves one. But, thank you, Mark, for all the memories. You will be sorely missed in F1. I do love his bluntness; saying whatever he feels to the media, as opposed to the younger, PR-trained kids, who say what they're supposed to say. I respect that, and I love that.

I'm just happy that at his very last race, Webber was able to battle a few drivers for position, and win them, and ended up on the podium. He had to overtake Alonso twice, because of a pitstop issue that put Webber back behind Alonso after his first overtake. These two has had great battles, and that's one aspect of the sport that I would definitely miss. And taking off his gloves and helmet during the cool down lap was definitely an image to remember. I understand that it's very dangerous, but it really humanized the drivers.

A few highlights from today's events:

I would love to see Mark Webber at Old Trafford

Carrick had just extended his contract to 2015, which goes against United's (or it could have been Fergie's) policy of 1 year extensions for players over 30. Webber is about to race his final Formula 1 grand prix this Sunday, at the Interlagos circuit. It's quite exciting, since this is looking to be the first and only wet grand prix of the season. The only thing is, the United game at Cardiff City is on at the same time as the race! I can watch one on my iPad and the other on my iMac, but it would have been much better if they were one after the other.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing Mark Webber at Old Trafford in the near future, especially since I won't be seeing much of him out of F1.
