PREMIER LEAGUE 23/24 MONTHLY REPORT - AUGUST

 

At long last, the new season is here. Waiting throughout the hot and agonizing summer was worth it, as now we can watch the world’s greatest football league right in front of us (or with the mates down at the pub or the betting shop).

But as this is the new season, new faces have entered the League. I’d like to give my personal “Welcome to the Big leagues” salute to the following promoted teams: BURNLEY, SHEFFIELD UNITED AND LUTON TOWN. I am particularly fond of Luton, as they are unique in the sense that their home ground, Kenilworth Road, can only hold a total of 10,356 people. Compared to the other stadiums in the Prem, that’s pretty small, but the atmosphere is perhaps the best. Houses surrounding the ground, fans being able to hear each other sneeze and being able to throw banters at one another. It’s beautiful stuff.

Another thing that’s new for this season is Manchester United’s squad. After 12 years of service, David De Gea is no longer part of the team and is currently a free agent. In his place, its Inter’s former stopper André Onana, who moved to Old Trafford on a deal worth £43.8 million. Wearing the number 24 on his back, a number that fans of United recognise as Daren Fletcher, another United bloke that is well liked within the fans of the Red Devils.

He has the spirit and determination, but brother really likes to bounce around for some reason. He's a bit confused, but he's a fighter...

Now onto the reporting of the month. Originally my new idea for the reports is going to be the following: take the best matches of that month, regardless of which matchweek it is, and analyse them briefly while also commenting about the performance for said month. And because we are back in the Champions League, that section will also receive a different style of reporting. My main issue right now is that August’s best matches all happened during matchweek 3, so my whole report on August will be covering those matches only. To be honest it was a banger of a matchweek, we saw lots of action drama, and excitement from both sides of the supporters, and those that watched the games and support neither club that played.

Intro done, now let’s move on to the show…

Video games have been a part of my life since I was spawned on this planet. Even my very own first post on this blog of mine was a little story based around a video game, with nods and jokes that complement the game itself, and the story too. Then my Yakuza reviews, followed by Street Fighter, and Race Driver GRID. I will do reviews on racing games someday because that category of games is kind of lacking on my blog. But that’s not important right now. What matters as of now is a review about a franchise that’s been with me since my birth.

This franchise has been my very first introduction to video games and has shaped me into the person I am today. It’s so important that often times when I’m about to do something or say something, I remind myself of the rules and words of the games. How to do all sorts of acrobatic jumps, to quickly roll out of a tricky situation, how to dual wield items with ease and scary accuracy and how to do a handstand. The last one is painful, just like the others because I’m not very acrobatic, but even with the limits, I can still do them. And after a hard workout at the gym (or jumping around like a lunatic), I always fancy myself some swi- I mean shower.

Even when I’m not writing a story, I still cannot help myself from inserting quotes or jokes from the games I play. This one, like the others before, doesn’t escape that fate. What game series has acrobatic movement, dual wielding items, handstands, swan dives and locking people in a freezer? Street Fighter? Rollercoaster Tycoon? Yakuza (possibilities are high for this one to be honest)?

It’s Tomb Raider.

ЛЕТО ГОСПОДОВО, ЛЕТО ЃАВОЛОВО, ЛЕТО УЖАС!!!

Не можеме да го избегнеме

Судбина е да се сретнеме со него

Иако предвреме не известува
