My first Derby match in ten years or so, probably more. Was worth the drive down from Edinburgh and taking my zoom lens!

The kop sing and bounce following the goal by Torres that makes it 2-0 before half-time.

Last night I had an enjoyable evening at a Sportsman dinner with Gordon Banks at the Value of Lune Rugby club.

He’s Gordon Banks  world famous save against Pele.

Thanks to my girlfriend and my parents for buying me a new iPod and Nike Plus for the old birthday. Now I’ll be ashamed into running and improving!

Liverpool v Inter Milan 2008 Champions League

I mention a couple of months ago that I now own a stake in Ebbsfleet United. Recently we were asked which kit design we would like for next season.

I voted for Home 1 and Away 3.

After completing his move from Liverpool to Juventus Momo Sissoko has taken time out to send this heart-felt message to Reds fans all over the world.

Dear Liverpool fans,

As soon as I arrived in Liverpool I realised how much this team meant. Now, after two and a half years I have to say goodbye and I can’t hide the great sorrow I feel in leaving one of the best clubs in Europe.
Liverpool FC as a club, its fans, its coaches and my team-mates have together helped me to become a better player and, above all, a better person.

Liverpool FC is one of the greatest. The Liverpool fans never desert their team. Even in the worst moments you have a strong sense that the fans are with you, supporting you as much as they can, never giving up, those fans make Liverpool even stronger. I really want to thank them for helping me to feel and to understand what football means in its purest form.

I also think Liverpool FC functions this way because of its leaders; Rafael Benitez works from dawn to dusk, and the players know they must fight for the red shirt in every second of every match.
Now I am beginning a new adventure in another big European Club in Juventus. They have also now put their faith in me.

I shall play to my best in every single match, I shall fight hard for my new shirt to the end, but when every match is finished, I know what I’ll do first - I shall ask about the results of Liverpool FC.

Everybody knows the legend “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and I shall never ever forget the experience and the team.
I want to thank everyone for the opportunity and wish everyone* all the best for the future.

With my best regards,
Mohammed Sissoko

* Expect for you Matt from Edinburgh, I heard you bad mouthing me every time I was on Sky Sports!

Interesting story how shipping companies plan to use sails to reduce there carbon footprint and save a few pennies

There is something rather magical about being up on deck of a giant cargo ship as it pushes its way out to sea.

Ten thousand tonnes of metal heaving through the water, the ship’s giant masts glistening in the winter sun.

But there is something even more magical about being aboard MS Beluga SkySails.

On the face of it, this vessel - which is carrying parts of a timber production line to Venezuela - looks like any other cargo ship.
