Liverpool- Becoming a Red
My earliest memory of being "a red" was when I watched a match on a small portable TV(a 14 inch TV) that was sitting on a tall cupboard in the corner of a neighbor of my aunties' living room. I was about six weeks shy of my seventh birthday. It was a cup final — … Continue reading Liverpool- Becoming a Red
Premier League Gameweek 13
West Ham vs Tottenham Hotspur Jose is back. He is taking charge of a talented, if aging squad. Spurs have been underperforming for most of 2019. They are struggling to pick up points away from home, and their points total for the calendar year would have them battling relegation. Still, on their day, they are … Continue reading Premier League Gameweek 13
DeLaveaga Golf Course, Santa Cruz
"If this is your first time playing here I hoped you brought lots of golf balls', warned the starter. She then helpfully advised "Don't miss right on the front 9 and don't miss left on the back 9". This is a very enjoyable trek, every hole a different test. We also did well on the … Continue reading DeLaveaga Golf Course, Santa Cruz

We hadn't beaten them in our history before the first of those two wins. Ireland had a well-respected coach, and the team had performed well enough to be ranked number … Continue reading American Football or Rugby
Review of Premier League Game week 10
There were some strange results this week that played havoc with my predictions. Due to these peculiar results, I only ended up with five correct predictions out of the ten games played.

Premier League Preview Gameweek 10
1) Southampton vs Leicester City This is a tough game to call. I keep expecting more from the Saints and St. Mary's is a tough place to for teams to visit. Having said that Leicester are a stronger team and have started the season well. My gut tells me this will be a draw, but … Continue reading Premier League Preview Gameweek 10
