whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
No win in 4. 9 days ago, after we’d drawn against Spurs and maybe just about had the better of that game, everything seemed rosy. Now, no win in 4, out of the top 4, I weep. When you add in the Scouse Messiah returning, Robin Van Persie remaining mystifyingly injury-free and Drogba doing one to Africa for a few weeks, I presage DOOM. DOOOOOOOOOOM. Of course, having just lost it would be...

MUST STOP
Wasting all my money on concert tickets, that is. Hell, I don’t care, MAGNETIC FIELDS and a cheeky mid-semester trip to Leeds to see Real Estate (anti-Caledonians though they are). I now, however, have literally (and I don’t mean in the Jamie Redknapp sense) no money until the 13th January. Which is a happy coincidence cos that’s when io vado a Milano.  Hang on. What is...

I made Christmas dinner and NOBODY DIED. In fact it was amazing. I am incontrovertibly an excellent cook.  Doctor Who was beautiful. ESPECIALLY RORY. Why must he leave, really, why. My mother bought me a tin of Roses instead of Quality Street, I have only just stopped weeping at this tragic mistake (oh God, #firstworldproblems or what). Now expectantly hanging around, not watching Downton Abbey...

John Terry tbh
Unsavoury shit happening off the pitch = amazing, match-winning/saving performance. He always does it. Also, totes should have won that. And Fernando actually got to play a bit. And I know we’re 11 points behind, but there are 20 games left so.

chels-oh.
3 years ago today Manchester City were 18th. Heh. Gareth Bale v Jose Bosingwa (or boswinger as Glenn ‘oddle says) cannot end well. I worry we won’t finish 4th. If we don’t I will weep, mainly for AVB’s inevitable exit. Also, Mikel. Last time he played, bad, Liverpool-based things happened.  Definite wibble.

I love you. I anticipate your return to defence-destroying form eagerly. Maybe tonight…?

in more important news
The Manics were SO GOOD last night. 38 songs in 3 hours, I swear to God it was one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. They are one of the best bands ever. The highlight? Hard to pick, but Motorcycle Emptiness was stupendous and yay Motown Junk. What a night.  This has been the best year in terms of music wot I have seen performed live. Roxy Music, LCD Soundsystem’s last ever show,...

dear people of the world
‘Mercurial’ does not mean excellent, incredible, so ridiculously good that my vocabulary has temporarily broken down in protest. Please stop using it as such. The second context is almost what you’re after, but I’m afraid you’ll have to find another adjective to describe Lionel Messi, if there is a word the can possibly sum up such routine brilliance. Yours...

adieu
Feliz Navidad Edinbrah, I voyage to London presently. For MANICS BABY and a day watching endless football matches slash ice skating slash Hard Rock eatin’. Then I actually get to go home, a mere 6 days before the BIG DAY. If I come back after Weinachten and there’s still mice scurrying around, I will rage like never before. Midlothian in its entirety will be consumed by the fires of...

vexing
Golden Globe nominations are rubbish. Nothing for Gary Oldman, or Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at all  Confusing amount of love for The Help (a film that ticks all the award nomination boxes but fails in perhaps the most important part: actually being any good)  #JUSTICEFORTILDA Ryan Gosling’s best performance (and, indeed, one of the best films of the year full stop) was in Drive but it...
