Footy On Thursdays?

As you may know, most EPL games are played on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. But now Liverpool are playing on a Thursday. My question is, why are we all of a sudden playing on a Thursday? It could be that there is another international break coming up but we are playing Brighton on Sunday and then Spartak Moskva the following Thursday so that theory is out of the picture. Thinking of other possibilities has left me bewildered. Do you know about this sudden change of schedule? But after all the more games the better.

Fluke Goal Causes Frustration For Liverpool

Liverpool suffered a frustrating 1-1 draw with Chelsea conceding a fluke goal from Willian late in the game to make it another draw. Super Salah scored just after halftime but Liverpool could not hold off the Chelsea attack. What makes the draw even more depressing was that Willian's goal was a miss flighted cross into a box which ended up dinking Mignolet. If Willian could actually cross this would never have happened. At least Salah got another goal to keep him on top of the golden boot.













Despite his best efforts Mingnolet could not keep out Willian's cross

I also think I showed Curiosity in the art by experimenting with body shapes.

As well as that I think I showed Connecting in art by telling Fraser that he was not lying in the correct position.

I also think I showed Being Me by writing about football on my blog.

Finally, I think I showed Creativity when I used a video as a blog post ;)

Liverpool Join The Man City Hunting Pack

With an impressive 3-0 win over Southhampton on Sunday morning, The Reds have moved a step closer to overtaking Tottenham with now only one point separating the two teams after Tottenham's shock loss to Arsenal. But we will have to get a move on if we are to have any hope of catching Man City with them beating Leicester City 2-0 on Sunday morning. In wait for Liverpool is 3rd place, Chelsea. If Liverpool win they will stay in fifth but only behind Chelsea on goal difference but if Tottenham has a very unlikely loss to West Brom they will jump to forth only one point from Man UTD.

My Weekly Reflection T4W5

This week I think I showed being me by bringing my football to HP Athletics to prevent certain border since I was only in one race.

I also think I showed Connecting at HP Athletics meeting lots of new people and also two people called Nathan.

I also think I showed Resilience standing in the hail at HP Athletics for 20 minutes.

As well as that I think I showed Creativity in my writing, writing a writing sample which I am very proud of.

Finally, I think I showed Curiosity in our comic activity finding a Maori Proverb to match my comic that I chose.

The Plunge


The howl of a wolf sent shivers vibrating down my spine down to my toes. I tried to find my footing in the dense and wet forest floor. Suddenly a crack of thunder made my hair stand on end. Then it started to rain, litres and litres gushing down on my head. Then through the mirky fog, I spotted a pair of gleaming orange eyes. As I inched closer I could hear heavy breathing like the beat of a kettle drum. Suddenly the strange creature unmasked itself. A huge brown bear sprang at me faster than a blink of my eyelid. The next moment I was running. Faster than ever before. The thumping footsteps of the bear became louder and louder in my eardrums. I began to hear rushing water and looked to my right. A gaping crevasse carved out slowly over the years by the thundering torrent of a waterfall. But suddenly the water ridden earth gave way. With the wet leaves covering the ground I lost my grip and started falling to my death. With a thunderous crack, I hit the water the splash barely being noticeable under the raging rapids. As I sunk down my foot became caught in a log. Second by second my oxygen levels were drained. I softly exhaled my last breath. My memories end there.

90 Minutes To Russia

The All Whites play Peru this afternoon in a desperate effort to book the last place in Russia 2018. With the first leg ending nil all in Wellington, NZ only needs a 1-1 draw at the least to qualify because of the away goal rule. But how will the All Whites cope with the crazy Peruvian crowd in Lima and with the dreaded altitude? I personally think it will not affect the All Whites but all will be revealed at 3:15 this afternoon.

All Whites Do A Liverpool

The All Whites world cup dream is still alive after a 0-0 all draw at Westpac Stadium. Peru wasted numerous chances throughout the game. Peru nearly went 1-0 up after a defensive fiasco where Winston Reid megged Stefan Marinovic and forced Marinovic to clear the ball off the goal line. In the late stages of the game, Ryan Thomas came frustratingly close to scoring volleying the ball millimetres from scoring. All we need is a 1-1 draw or 1-0 win at the least to now qualify.

My Weekly Reflection T4W4

This week I think I showed Resilience in athletics trying to get over 1.20m in high jump getting 3rd equal with Taj. I also found it hard doing the scissor kick and not the flop.

I also think that I showed Connecting when I helped Josh use a link to a comic activity.

I also think that I showed Creativity when picking an image for my blog post this week.

I also think I showed Being Me by booking into an optional high jump session.

I also think I showed Curiosity when reading my chosen comic for the comic activity.













The technique everyone wanted to use in the high jump.

Can The All Whites Qualify?

With the first match of the home and away leg which decides who will advance to the world cup in Russia next year, New Zealand or Peru. But being ranked so far behind Peru how much of a chance do we really have? Well, Peru has recently taken a huge knock with their captain Paolo Guerrero failing his drug test and receiving a thirty match ban. But Peru still has such formidable striking weapons in their locker. The All Whites squad to face Peru has been dubbed “The Greatest All Whites Squad Ever.” Starting from the back Stevan Marinovic holds the fort in goal, we will most likely see a starting back line of Reid, Durrante, Roux, Boxall, and possibly Ingham. The main men in the middle will be McGlinchey, Rojas, Thomas, Tuiloma, and youngster Clayton Lewis. New Zealand has also assembled a star-studded attack with Barbarouses, Brockie, Smeltz, Wood, Patterson and 2010 hero Rory Fallon has made an unexpected return to the squad.

My IE Reflection Term 3 2017


Hammers Hammered By Reds Onslaught:4-1 😀😁

Happy days are here again as Liverpool cruised to an easy 4-1 win at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday. I was watching the game up to when we scored our second goal. Mane and Salah used their Barry Allen super speed to outpace the West Ham defenders to convert a West Ham corner into a counter-attack and then into a goal. Joel Matip scored a few minutes later from a Liverpool corner. West Ham scored to ignite a possible comeback. But all hopes of a comeback were shattered like a sheet of glass with goals from Salah and Oxlade Chamberlain. Liverpool has now jumped Arsenal on the table after they got eaten for curry day by Man City.
