A Few Words: River Severn. Football Analysis

 A Few Words

A few words.


 make big pictures


 Big pictures can be 

sliced and framed,


Into motion video.


Video needs sounds.


Sounds can make music. 


Music and video can inspire 

Films.


Films need a few words 

of explanation.



📓📓📓📓📓📓




Rising in the mountains


Inspiring painters and poets


Very strong currents


Enveloping, at times the


River bank.



Sinuous and serpentine


Each bend and curve; becoming  more


Voluptuous as the Lady River



Enters her  last passage and


Returns to the sea 


Necessary for ensuring tidal flow.

With the new football season only five weeks away ( can you believe it ? )
Thought i'd better look at last year's predictions.

Premiership      prediction                actual finish


1 Man City                   1st                                    2nd

2 Liverpool                   2nd                                  1st

3 Tottenham                 3rd                                   6th

4 Chelsea                     4th                                    4th



Liverpool were the outright and throughly deserved winners.

Man City lost their way slightly  at the onset, but came strongly after lockdown.

Spurs were the big losers. A season to forget for the ' Special One `'

Chelsea had a good season. Enterprising start under Frank Lampard.




Championship


1Leeds              1st                                        1st.

2 Cardiff City      2nd                                      5th

3 West Brom       3rd                                      2nd

4 Middlesborough  4th                                  17th



Leeds were always likely to win staying upfront all season.

Cardiff never got act together. Made and failed in the playoffs 
From a long way off it looked like a match between the 'baggies ' and Leeds.
Good year for the Serbian manager.
With only Newcastle holding an increasingly bedraggled  flag for the north east,
'Boro and Hull just seem to have lost it. Not bothering with ' Boro for a while ;
especially , when my old friend Fulham, 
 made it through the playoffs to  secure the
Premiership.

Jimmy Uttley: God's Spring Blessing

Image
  Saturday 16th February Hi All, I want to start with a bold statement: we are all selfish. The more we age, the more we want to cling onto life. It's the old survival instinct. That's why it's important to pause at each Valentine Day and realise how important our family and friends are. The love and support they give us and hopefully we return; slows down that selfish gene and makes us glad to be human.  To love and be loved; makes us humble, content and lucky. VvvvvvvvVvvvvv My synapses, as you have probably figured, fire strangely.  Example: lucky made me think of gambling- having a bet - favourite jockeys; which led me  to Jimmy Uttley . Jimmy As  you can tell, if you clicked on the above link, jockey Jimmy Uttley, as far as I know,  only rode over hurdles, rather than fences. He will always be associated with the great Persian War, on whom he won three champion hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival 1968 - 1970  I have tried to look up further informa

Tuesday Glory: Spring is Coming

Image
When Tuesdays are glorious; the birds sing; the sun shines; the bright colours come out to play and all is well with the world. Such a day was Tuesday, February 8th, at eleven  'o ' clock, when I fetched up at the Sherborne National Trust Estate. This sign looked promising, but as I made my way out of the car park and into the woodland, no snowdrops were to be seen. But although the woods were still sleeping in the shade, some catkins were  in view. Reaching the road and turning right, I soon came by the nature reserve, with its gentle meandering stream. When I reached the nearby church, I beheld  my first snowdrops; a wonderful domesticated array of white, interspersed with yellow crocus. My route then took me, from the road, back into the estate. Here, through the effect of the sun shining on the ground; were further miracles before me as I walked back to the car.   A selection of images for you. All that was left to complete this excelle

Toys for the Boys

Visited Snowshill Manor,near Broadway today. I noticed near the Restaurant, an unusual replica wind toy, with back-up electric motor. Snowshill Manor houses the amazing collection of Mr. Charles Wade, with over 22,000 objects; including toys. Above is the original toy model, suspended from the ceiling in the attic of the Manor. The replica was built by volunteer Barry Silcock and took over seven years to construct. Although, it has been up for a season, it still has problems when the wind gets up, and conversely, when the wind dies, it needs a heavier  weight to start the electric motor up. It still looks mighty impressive though. As interesting as the Wade collection is;  I prefer the Manor Garden with  many arresting borders. Also because the Manor is positioned, near the top of the Cotswold escarpment, there is always the valley to look down upon. See also :  New Bits: Cotswold Coda 12/07/'10.
