Full credit to Manchester United.

At first I thought Chelsea were going to win the league this year but looking at the success of the Manchester United team – I think it’s time for me and others to admit our mistakes.

I got it wrong and here’s wishing the best for Sir Alex Ferguson.

I believed he wouldn’t lift the cup this year as the current first team at Man U aren’t the best that he’s produced.

But they are just as determined as his previous teams.

I’ve noticed that Sir Alex always keeps four players at the back, come what may and this has proved crucial to his success.

The current level of achievement of Manchester United at both home and in Europe speaks for itself.

I remember watching the match a few months ago at West Ham – a team that now must accept life next season in the First Division.

As soon as he put on Berbatov, I knew Sir Alex meant business.

The match turned to their advantage there and then.

So all credit to Sir Alex as one can’t last as a manager in this industry for 20 years without doing something right!

It’s a shame that as one London team goes down, another goes up.

But I’m so pleased to see Queens Park Rangers – better known simply as QPR – finally getting back in the Premier League next season.

It was a mistake selling Les Ferdinand to Newcastle all those years ago but I’m glad to see they’ve finally brought in top quality players.

It’s transformation speaks for itself – yeah!

I have to say that as QPR is very close to where I live but I have to admit, I'm pleased to say this remark too.

Go London!

Please be kind.

I have to say this.

On Friday 15th April this year, I was in Harlesden, North West London.

One black man, of Afo-Caribbean origin, in his mid-thirties approach me, concerned in seeing me with a walking stick.

He was kind and polite but because I’m so used to some black people treating me badly because of this, I just smiled at him and made my way to the other side of the street.

Afterwards, I felt bad about this, so I did cross over again to see if I can find him and appologise for my earlier behaviour.

This wasn’t to be but I did see a black woman of Arfo-Caribbean origin, in her mid twenties who did ask me about my condition.

I didn’t want to repeat the same error, so I told her about my condition, even explaining what demylenation disease is and said I need a walking stick for my lack of balance and co-ordination - I do fall over for no reason.

This woman then proceeded to say hurtful things about me – like many (but thankfully not all in our ethnic group) it was made clear that I must offended God and praying to him (or her) will give me salvation from my illness.

I did my usual routine of smiling then walking away.

Please, I don’t know why I have demylenation disease or why it’s happened to me but don’t insult me because of it.

I’m determined to do things with my life, not sit at home and wallow in self-pity but these negative remarks and judgements don’t help anyone.

It was once said to me by a man, at the Belfast Benefit office, when I did ask (loudly) over the phone at the Wembley Job Centre, "why me?" He replied: "you’ve just got to deal with the cards life has sent you."

I now accept he’s right, so please don’t blame me for this disease.

Things do happen for which we just don’t know the reason why (I don't know why I have this disease) and this condition has dramatically affected me.

Before I was a person who leapt out of bed – now I can’t do that but I’m learning to adjust and still enjoy life.

Today’s a great day, we’re living in a great country, so let us all enjoy it!

Goodbye and good luck Fernando Torres!

Yes I believe he does deserve to benefit further from his own talents and skills.

As for the money that’s being spent on him and others during the British football transfer market – well I’m happy to say it’s not the public purse that’s paying for all of this.

Furthermore, Mr Torres is known as one of the good guys in football - Fernando is a family guy, devoted to his wife and their two kids.

After the success of Spain wining last year’s UEFA World Cup – he was a part of this team – Fernando was bound to wish for that same standard of success.

If it’s the ambition of Torres to leave, then like former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, he shouldn’t be held back from achieving his destiny.

I call this; the Wright reason - after retired footballer Ian Wright, when he left Crystal Palace for Arsenal FC.

It was his manager at Crystal who bitterly called Ian a hothead who wouldn’t last at this prestigious club.

Well Mr Wright did outlast the Arsenal manager who purchased him, George Grahame and even played during the early reign of current long-serving present manager Arsene Wenger.

This was despite Ian having a colourful life off the football pitch – his extra marital affairs when he was a professional player are well-known.

The same can be said for his public spat with another former Arsenal manager Bruce Rioch.

But up to this day, he remains one of Britain’s best loved and well-known retired football players.

The bottom line is; Mr Wright wanted to win things and Arsenal was the football club in London which matched his ambitions and was willing to open new pastures for him.

That’s why he too asked for a transfer from CP to the reds of London, despite being offered the same pay at both clubs.

It’s very sad to look back on your life and say: “it might have been.”

So I wish all the best for Fernando on joining Chelsea FC.

At the same time, I think it’s fair to say everyone in the UK will be watching this Sunday’s match between Chelsea and Liverpool, at Stamford Bridge – that’s Chelsea’s home turf.

Extra security will clearly be needed for that match!

I liked watching Aurelio Zen!

I think Rufus Sewell was brilliant as the sharp suited leading detective, brought to life thanks to BBC1.

Don't take my word for it. The Herald Scotland has a good review about it.

All the main actors and one sexy actress in this show are over 40 years of age (yes!).

I think it was about time we had a show like this on national TV.

Take care.

Andria.

I don't believe it!

Reggae star Buju Banton still under arrest?

Well the charges against him (Heroin trafficking) are serious.

Mr Marley was noble in putting his house up as bond - does he know his granddad is Caucasian and from Liverpool?

If it wasn't for slavery, this region in the UK wouldn't have been the 'success' it was a few century's back.

Then again, it’s probably better if you read the full story yourself, by clicking here.

It looks like Chelsea is going to win the Premiership title again for 2010-2011.

After Manchester United’s draw against derby rivals Manchester City and Chelsea wining in their London derby against Fulham, all of which happened yesterday, I think that’s very likely.

If you want so say I’m wrong, answers on a postcard please- then again, I think that’s all the space you’re going to need!

Short, sweet and spicy!

Amos Daniels, Rest In Peace

I’m sorry to find out that an estranged friend’s elder brother, Amos Daniels, has died on Tuesday, 28th September.

Amos was a true gentleman, who always had time for anyone.

I’m glad his family were around him during his last moments.

Anyone who knew him will tell you how true and honest he was – his passing shows that you don’t have to be rich or famous to matter to others.

He was just over the age of 40, of black Caribbean origin and his wife is of white UK origin.

I say this because I have no pictures of the happy couple when they got married, about five years ago.

I'm just glad they both found happiness with each other.

My thoughts are with his family, including his sister Barbara, his mum Christine and his wife.

Amos Danils, RIP.

What a whitewash.

The 6-0 defeat by Fulham of Port Vale yesterday speaks for itself.

It was raining but nothing could damper the spirits of the supporters from both teams.

If Fulham are missing Hodgson, they aren’t showing it.

The speed and tactics shown by Mark Hugh’s team was no match, clearly showing the difference of the two leagues of Port Vale and Fulham.

After their stunning 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Sunday 22nd August, they have every right to brim with confidence.

So it’s Fulham who march on to the next stage of the FA Cup.

£££££££

This reminds me of the 6-0 thrashing Chelsea gave West Bromwich Albion, on Saturday 14th August.

That was for the Premier league. Judging by the way Chelsea dominated the game from start to finish it wouldn’t surprise me that Chelsea won the league again.

Well done to Harry Redknapp on Spurs wining their game against the Young Boys FC.

Peter Crouch clearly has personal problems regarding his relationship with model Abbey Clancy, which are of his own making but I’m glad at his hat-trick score yesterday.

I’m glad Tottenham won 4-0 against the Young Boys team of Berne to go into the next stage of the Europa League.

No wonder Bolton wanted to show the Premier League they are here to stay, which they got against West Ham on Saturday 21st August.

When West Ham scored and it was 2-1 to the Wanderers, many in the Hammers end believed they had a chance of at least sharing the points.

But when it was 3-1 to Bolton, it wasn’t surprising that many of the West Ham fans left early, knowing that there team were out of the game.

Such is life.

Until next time, bye.
