I've been living with grandmother for almost ten years now and our relationship has been so strained that, she's had enough of me and has decided that I should look for an alternative living accomodation, she wants me to go back and live with my mother in Chester-le-Street, which is in the middle of nowhere.

Now, I appreciate that my mother would take me back but the fact is, I am better off staying in the area that I have been living in over the last decade or so. All my friends live here and or are local to me, bus services are only a 2 minute walk away and easy access to the town and shopping and ofcourse football pitches.

I have been in touch with the council housing people and I have one month, until my mother comes back from Australia to find a place to live and hopefully, I will as soon as possible.]]> 1231073281 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:48:01 +0000 <![CDATA[Watch MUTV For FREE!]]> http://www.lee-stewart.co.uk/?subaction=showfull&id=1230634766&archive=

They did it the hard way. Completely dominating possession and play in the first half, United were in control of the game. That was until Nemanja Vidic elbowed Claudio Bieler in the face - and the Red Devil ended up seeing red. However, despite their numerical disadvantage, United still tried to play positively rather than try and close the game out and rely on the lottery of a penalty shoot-out, which saw them qualify for the competition after defeating Chelsea on spot-kicks in Moscow seven months ago.

Inspired by the prompting of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, Sir Alex Ferguson's side were rewarded Rooney, the adidas Golden Ball winner fired past the outstanding Jose Cevallos in the 73rd minute, which proved to be enough. Yet the English side were forced to rely on the heroics of Edwin van der Sar who pulled off two world-class saves to frustrate Alejandro Manso, who claimed the adidas Bronze Ball.

Third place went to AFC champions Gamba Osaka, who prevailed by a single goal over Pachuca in a tight match for third place. A well taken strike from Masato Yamazaki proved to be the difference between the two sides; with Osaka's victory blighted only by the tournament's first sending off, an injury-time red card for substitute Takahiro Futugawa.Yet the squad together with their enthusiastic supporters, who sang from start to finish at each of their three games in this.....(read more)

The most coveted individual honour in world football, the award recognises Ronaldo’s outstanding performances over the past 12 months.

"I dreamt of this when I was younger," he said. "It's a great day for me and my family."

The Portuguese winger scored 42 goals last season on the way to domestic and European glory with the Reds and was the resounding favourite to win the trophy.

After France Football’s confirmation in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the 23-year-old joins United legends George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton on the award’s honours roll.

Recent winners include Kaka (AC Milan, 2007), Fabio Cannavaro (Juventus/Real Madrid, 2006) and Ronaldinho (Barcelona, 2005).

Ronny is the 42nd different player to pick up the prize, and the third Portuguese after Eusebio’s victory in 1965 and Figo's win in 2000.

"The Ballon d'Or has been won by two great Portuguese players and for me to be part of that history is a great feeling," he added.

In an exclusive interview with ManUtd.com and MUTV, Cristiano Ronaldo speaks of his delight at being named the best player in the world and insists there is much more to come...

The satirists at The Onion are offering just that on their website, promising buyers the chance to buy the award-winning USB toaster for $8 (£5).

"Don't be tethered to the kitchen. Take your toast…to go!" the advertising spiel goes.

"Now you can take a toaster everywhere you take your laptop. Insert a slice of any bread- white, wheat, even rye -and in 7-9 minutes, you have the kind of perfect toast you could only get from a computer."

The gizmo is said to have been named 'Winner of the 2006 Gold Floppy Disc Award for Best Cooking Peripheral' but unfortunately there is one small hitch - the toaster does not exist.

Instead buyers will have the pleasure of wrapping up an authentic-looking box and watching the recipient of their gift go through a roller-coaster of emotions as they see their gift and then realise it doesn't actually exist.

For those who may be interested, the box's dimensions are 12"x9"x4".

Other similarly cruel gift boxes available include the Kleen-Stride Personal Debris Removal System Gift Box (a brush/shovel that attaches to a shoe) and the iFeast Pet Feeding MP3 Docking Station Gift Box (which pretty much speaks for itself).
