Vincent Kompany.
If he's only going to score 1 goal in a season, it might as well be a special one - and it certainly was!

And against Schmeichel who was STILL the MOTM - and deservingly so (at least (overall) Player of the Match, as Kompany's goal could easily have merited MOTM award, for both quality and effect!)

A plate covered in chips, baked beans, two fried eggs and twelve fish fingers next to another plate with several slices of bread smothered in Lurpak.
The sandwiches really were the best!

Now for that cup of tea.

Some of you may remember a post I put up in random irritations a wee while back about an assault on my brother-in-law whilst he was out having a Christmas drink with work colleagues. Bearing him mind he is one of the quietest, nicest guys you could ever wish to meet it just seemed a mindless, senseless act of extreme violence. Injuries included a a broken jaw, broken cheek bone, broken eye socket, broken nose and a serious knife wound. Several operations later and he's slowly on the mend but struggles to concentrate during conversations and has anxiety issues when out.

Turns out to have not been a random act, the reason behind it being my (adopted) sister, his wife, is not quite Anglo-Saxon white.

A fairly lengthy court case has ended. 3 thugs have been found guilty of GBH and some serious, prolonged witness intimidation. The witness intimidation involved 2 of the thugs forcing their way into a witness's home and holding his wife at knifepoint whilst they explained what would happen to her if he didn't withdraw his statement. They then revisited at a later date, causing a lot of damage to the house and car.

They are now starting a long holiday(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

"Long holiday..."

The ringleader/drug dealer is out after 1 month, 1 flipping month of a 2 year sentence. The 2 heavies are still inside, but even though there was text message evidence of planning etc, 1 flipping month! A known drug dealer/hard man in the town, which the Police have been trying to take off the streets for years, is back out and the intimidation has already started.

Justice system? Is that really justice?

Certainly doesn't gladden the heart now

Danny Baker getting fired for that racist tweet. Obnoxious up-his-own-backside yob who got his commupance. The BBC get enough stick for taking offense where there is none but this was "black and white".
