Am I Dreaming?!

It all came down to a bad team decision, they left young Hamilton out on his original set of tyres too long. In my mind, watching other drivers times compared to Hamilton's, watching them gain 3, 4 or even 7 seconds a lap on him, they should have reacted a lot quicker and brought him in for new boots. As it was, you could visibly see the rear right tyre de-laminating and with no grip, he couldn't make the turn into the pit lane and ended up in the gravel trap.

Hamilton is out of the Chinese GP

All is not lost though, he just needs to stay focused in the last race of the season (21st Oct in Brazil). If Hamilton finishes in front of the nasty Spaniard and the boring Finn, then it's all over. If the nasty Spaniard wins then Hamilton must come second. If the boring Finn wins then Hamilton must finish 4th or higher (and we will all fall asleep listening to the Finn speak in the press conf).

And it gets worse. As I type, Sunderland have come back from 0 - 2 down to 2 - 2 in there game against the Arsenal. We were cruising in the first 15 minutes, we should have been 3 - 0 up but for a bad decision from the linesman to rule out the 3rd goal for offside.


Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie

Went to Pet Corner R Us At Home World yesterday... couldn't fit an Emu in the car though so came home with a hamster. I'll try and get a pic of him (or her?) later but he's (she's?) asleep right now. He's (she's?) been christened RVP after the Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie (it was either that or Hammond, after the Top Gear host). After the amount of time he spent on his wheel last night I would think (GET IN!!! Van Persie just scored to make it 3 - 2 to Arsenal!!!) the hamster is fitter than the footballer. I read last night that they run between 4 and 8 miles during the night! (hamsters not footballers...).

RVP's house (the hamster, not the footballer!)

Going to pick Harriet up from work later and go out for Sunday lunch, I hope they get the bill right this time!


On the car iPod: Mike Lindup - Changes

On this day: The last ever competitive match at Wembley Stadium is a 1-0 defeat of England to Germany and the last goal was scored by Liverpool's Dietmar Hammann. The match was Tony Adams' (come on the Arsenal!) 60th at Wembley setting the record for most appearances at the stadium.
