Oportunities Missed

Edward's back from China tomorrow, which is obviously very exciting for all of us - that's right, you know who you are. He's had, I'm assured, a marvellous time, and has some very exciting news. It's sod all to do with this blog though, so you probably won't get to hear about it. Sorry.

Anyway, to the point: it's quickly transpired that Ed picked a really sucky couple of weeks to go away on holiday. Off the top of my head, we've missed the following:

- The Women's FA Cup Final, where Arsenal completed an historic quadruple in front of nearly 25,000 people
- The Zurich Premiership Play-Off Semis (Ed, this one's rugby)
- The Awesomely Shambolic Final Of The ICC Cricket World Cup West Indies 2007 (to give it its full title)
- Man Utd regaining the Premiership title for the first time since 2004...
- ...days after crashing out of the European Cup away to Milan, ruining the prospect of an All-English final with Liverpool
- Mark Selby and John Higgins re-writing history in the final of the Embassy World Snooker Championships (you have NO IDEA how much I would have enjoyed making him watch that)

I could go on. Suffice to say, we're off to a slow start, and for that I can only apologise. But don't worry - this is far from finished. To say sorry in the meantime, here's Argentinean wunderkind Lionel Messi scoring for Barcelona against Getafe. Words fail me, which is why this video comes with a generic mid-Atlantic rawk soundtrack. Hurrah. Brilliantly (and somewhat randomly), Messi's goal is followed by a bunch of kids playing football. All of these children are better at sport than Edward.
