why am i not surprised?

there was an international motor-sport event in melbourne, and i had completely forgotten it was coming up until sunday morning… the world superbike series visited philip island, but there was no press before hand and very very little during, i wonder if there would’ve been any at all if troy bayliss didn’t win the first race? it’s not that i don’t like afl, it’s just that it gets so much attention in the news, other sports tend to miss out, and the actual afl season hasn’t even started yet!

hmm, here in melbourne, the other sport that seems to be getting a lot of attention is the swimming… i know we’re hosting the FINA somethings, but if you think about, swimming can only try to be as exciting as motorbike racing; people would say “they just go round and round, isn’t that boring?”…

uhh, motorcycle racing is dangerous, exciting, the racing is closer and, i believe, it demands more from a competitor… although i do concede this is an argument one can never win, as it is subjective… but this won’t stop me from thinking that swimming only gets the coverage it does because australians are fairly good at it, bearing in mind troy bayliss won the world championship last season, hmm…

i also watched the liverpool vs man u match on sunday afternoon (making sure not to look at the internet beforehand), i’m sure acres of space have been dedicated to stevie g and the liverpool formation, so i’ll try to keep it short. he just looked bored on the right, and was only ever influential when he came inside, sissoko shouldn’t have started, pennant should’ve been on from the outset… bellamy made vidic look silly on a number of occasions, kuyt didn’t stop running for the full 90, but even though liverpool dominated, they couldn’t convert their chances, and o’shea put away a skippy free kick…

the title race may as well be over now… damn.
