As I started writing this Queens Park Rangers have terminated the contract of manager Mark Hughes following a disastrous start to the season, it could quite possibly get worse for them when QPR walk out at Old Trafford this weekend.Speaking of 'The Theatre of Dreams' today ex-players and staff are turning out to see a nine foot bronze statue of Sir Alex Ferguson. The unveiling will be televised on MUTV. The ceremony starts at 13:30 GMT and will be free for the 90 minute program to Sky TV customers.
Last night there was quite a few Europa league games on. Because there were so many here's a few that caught my eye...
Rubin Kazan 3-0 Inter
An early goal for Karadeniz and 2 goals in the last 3 minutes for Rondon sealed defeat for Inter.
Lazio 0-0 Tottenham
More racial chants from the Lazio fans and a 'Spurs fan was stabbed in the neck prior to the game.
Rosenborg 3-2 Rapid Vienna
5 goal thriller in Rosenborg. After taking the lead Vienna were let back into the game and go ahead. Rosenborg then scored twice to seal victory in the 80th minute.
Liverpool 2-2 BSC Young Boys
After taking the lead twice Liverpool could'nt hang on and now need to beat Udinese away to seal progression.
In Cricket England aren't doing to bad after day 1 of the 2nd test in India. After a spanking in the 1st test Mont Panesar returned to the bowling line up and ended day 1 on 4 for 91. India on the other hand had Pujara at the crease and he finished the day on 114 not out. In total then India ended the day on 266-6.
Down under in the 2nd test between Australia and South Africa, captain Graeme Smith hit back at the Ozzie's massive opening day score with an unbeaten 111. At stumps on day 2 South Africa are 217-2 a deficit of 333. Yes Australia put on 482-5 on day 1, that's the second highest day 1 score in test history. They batted on till they were bowled out just before lunch on day 2 reaching a score of 550.
3 games yesterday in the NFL on Thanksgiving day and a shoddy performance by Kid Rock at halftime in the Lions game. Here's some results as I didn't get to watch any of the games =(
New England 49-19 NY Jets
Houston 34-31 Detroit
Washington 38-31 Dallas
In the world of music I've been listening to the reason I love dance music... Tiesto. Yes the Club Life Podcast opened with a mashup by TeeT's and Henry Fong. The mashup was Coldplay's 'Waterfall' and Porter Robinson's 'Language'. Because I'm kind here's a link to it:
Elsewhere, I've known of these DJ's called the BassJockeys. I've seen them play at our local clubs before and bigger nights at Sankeys Manchester and Warehouse Project. They also have a radio show on Manchester Global radio where they have guest DJ's on, recent guests include; SoulClap, Deniz Koyu, Matt Darey, Matt Zo and Michael Woods. Next week they welcome who they describe as, 'one of our biggest guests' in Steve Aoki. If you fancy checking them out or you're just an Aoki junkie the show airs on Tuesday 27th of November at 8pm GMT. Here's some links so you have no excuse to miss it!
Manchester Global Radio <<< this is where to listen to the show ;)
Lastly a TV catch up.
Usual crap on MTV not to be watched.
I've been watching a series on SyFy called Continuum. It's coming to an end of series 1 now but if you can get hold of the DVD its well worth it. The show starts off 65 years in the future, a future where corporations have taken over and there's loads of cool gadgets everywhere. Go see for yourself, it does start a little unbelievable but as you watch it, it gets better and better!
A series I've picked up on Sky called Falcón gets better too! In the third episode, Falcón played by Martin Csokas, puts a bullet through his 'brother's' face and the special effects are quite graphic. Another show well worth a watch!
Thats that for now I'll be back either later today or tomorrow with some of what I got up to Friday night or some weekend tunes.
