I’m bored with calling myself simply ‘Mr’. One of the reasons I’m pursuing a Master’s Degree is because I want to add ‘MA’ after my name, and maybe who knows, even one day I might be ‘Dr’. But that will take years of long, hard study, plus mountains of debt. But even ‘Dr’ is a fairly common title. I wish I could be ‘Count’, or ‘Baron’. ‘Earl Scully’ sounds nice, doesn’t it? Well, maybe I can, because these days you can buy titles. People all over the country are parting with pretty green to become ‘Lord XXX of Colindale’, and so forth. I might try it. I’d certainly get noticed down the bank. Speaking of buying titles, Chelsea FC became Champions of England tonight for the first time in fifty years. Roman the Emperor’s Russian Roubles have helped the Blues top the league, just as Blackburn did ten years ago. Yet even the most cynical must agree that they deserve it. Mourinho may ooze arrogance like Michael Howard oozes bullshit, but he has been the difference in turning those players into champions. As a Spurs fan I’m not usually one to praise Chelsea…but they have stopped a pretty unstoppable arsenal team from winning the title, and for that I am grateful. At the bottom, it is like a revolving door – Southampton have been dreadful lately, and deserved to be bottom. Norwich on the other hand have been mercurial; yet the Saints beat them 4-3 today, and leapfrogged them to move out of the drop zone. Personally I think Southampton should go down – I have nothing against them, and I’ll be sad to see them drop down, it’s just that Sunderland have been promoted, and they look the same. It’s confusing. At least Norwich offer us something different, colour-wise. The footy season is drawing to a close…
