Facebook... Only time will tell!


So I've started writing my blog, but who's going to read it? 
I've just posted the link to this blog on my Facebook page and I'm not sure who give it the time of day, just hope that I get some sensible feedback. Fingers crossed.

Podcasts

Here are a few Podcasts which I am really enjoying at the moment, so if yo haven't subscribed to them already I recommend you give them a try!

Adam & Joe - BBC 6 Music (live show Saturday 9am-12noon)

Jon Richardson - BBC 6 Music (live show Sunday 10am-1pm)

The live shows are fun but I dont always get time to listen at the weekends so the podcasts provide a great way for me to still enjoy the shows. I'm trying some new ones this week so I'll probably be adding to this list in the next day or so.

Matinez' Magic

I was watching the Swansea match on telly at the wknd and like many was really impressed by the style of their play. I thought that it was a nice refreshing approach to see a side play with confidence in their ability and also in their team mates. Against Premiership opposition which came in the form of Fulham and under the guidance of Roy Hodgson this Fulham side are reformed from the shadows of last season and are a strong compact/efficient unit away from home,  that aside Roberto Martinez' side managed to play with style and flair that would not have looked out of place being played in the Nou Camp. I picked up on a real sense of enjoyment from the Swansea players as even in the early opening, normally tense first minutes they passed the ball with comfort and an assurance seemly beyond the level of a battling Championship side. Although the result was a draw the character shown in outplaying a decent mid tabled top flight side showed that Swansea would be well suited to life in the next round. With the replay at Craven Cottage to follow I hope that Swansea can turn the style into substance and get the result that their performances deserve. I want to wish them luck with the replay but I will save the gesture for if the do get the result against Hodgson's men, surely the luck will be required against the 5th round opponents Manchester United.
