Happy New Year!

At least I remember to come on here on New years Eve!

Happy New Year to anyone having a look. Good luck and God bless in 2015.

I come on here sometimes just to give a view on anything that is in the air, or maybe to ramble on about  the continuing and ridiculously frustrating  fortunes of SAFC,  and of course those of the Durham and England cricket teams.

Well not even any of that tonight. Time is tight, although I am in with the whole crew tonight. So I thought I'd restrict myself to a few predictions, if only to test myself! And I'm returning to a few regular topics as well.


Politics.   The awful state of affairs in the UK is set to continue with another hung parliament. No overall majority.  The right vote is split, but despite the Tories and UKIP collecting 49% of the vote between them they have to sit and watch as the ridiculous Ed Milliband, taking only 35% with Labour takes the chair at No 10 , supported by Alex Salmond. So two people who hate England are now in charge of it. This will not end well.

Football.   Sunderland scrape to safety again.  By two points this time!
  Chelsea win the Premier League.  Man City, Man Utd and surprisingly Liverpool make up the rest    of the top four.  Derby, Ipswich and Boro are Promoted, Derby through the play offs.

Cricket.    Durham do okay again, making it to fourth in the CCC. England draw with Australia in the Ashes series.

Surely the world wakes up to the evil of militant Islam? 

We'll see. Happy New year!
