  *Some may accuse me of bias, but I thought the Leeds v Blackburn game was one of the best games of football I have seen at any level for quite a while. It was an open game with chances for both teams, and good refereeing from Uriah Rennie (I know, I'm as shocked as you) allowed a good flow. The changed team with BATTY~! and Oliembe and Johnson swapping between left wing and left back worked well together, with LFOC (for those unaware, Lazy Fat Overpaid C***, to describe a certain Australian player) looking motivated in the first half. I would have loved to have seen the odds before the game on a Batty header in the penalty area setting up a volley for Seth Johnson. *Michael Owen's injury has me worried for the Turkey match. Unlike Beckham's 'injuries' ("Oh no!
Injured before big game! Don't worry, I'll 'try' to recover in time. "), this one will hurt us because he is the only player in the front line with the skill, experience and confidence to lead the attack against a top side. Here's hoping Beattie gets a chance before the useless lump that is Emile Heskey. *I bought Natural Born Killers for Â£4 on DVD this weekend. What tipped it for me is the fact that they have included a documentary on the possible influence of the film on a series of killings.
I have watched it, but may have to watch it again before I think of submitting a review w/ comedy 'Hollywood' banner due to the sheer amount of images that is constantly thrown at you. I will say, so far, I am not planning a killing spree. However, with a week at work and the possibility of Heskey playing on Saturday... *The most unfortunate minute of TV planning occurred last night. A documentary on David Kelly, followed by "If you are having suicidal thoughts, please ring this hotline. Next, Derren Brown plays Russian Roulette....". Well played, Channel 4. *Watching the said Derren Brown last night was quite the experience. We saw the selection process for the person who would be loading the bullet (a lot of which seemed like an excuse for Derren to pull out his tricks, which isn't a bad thing) and some lucky lad learnt that he is the easiest person to manipulate out of 12,000 people. The five minutes of Derren with the loaded gun was one of the most fascinating, horrifying and down right scary TV moments in years. Worse than seeing Southgate walk up to take a penalty. I have had a debate with the future Mrs. A-MOL about the 'fifth chamber shot' (where Derren seemed convinced this barrel was empty, fired at the sandbag instead of his skull and then appeared to panic as he realised it was empty) because this seemed typical of some of his previous work.
In the dangerous situations, Brown always seems to have a moment where he is stuck and is about to make the wrong, potentially hazardous choice, only to suddenly turn the right way at the last moment. The way he held the gun to his head, fired, then turned at fired at the sandbag in a matter of seconds said to me that this was his final flourish on an impressive demonstration of his skills.
