Looking forward to it!!!

9 hour flight

I have been following this team for a good while now and i thought i might as well say it. 

Luch Energiya Vladivostok are located in Vladivostok obviously and are a good team but one thing that other Russian teams don't like about them is not the way they play or how they work is merely down to the fact that......

Can you imagine travelling just over 6,400km to play a football match? I can it happens or at least it did happen in Russia. Spare a thought for those players. You hear Man United complaining about traveling to Greece or Turkey but this team have to travel 8,000km every away game to Russia with Kazan the closest at a small distance of around 7,000km. 

CSKA Moscow are 6,432km away from Vladivostok but Zenit St Petersburg are even further away at around 7,000km. All there opponents wanted Luch-Energiya thrown out of the league but they only have to make that trip once a season. But next summer one team will have to travel over 9,000km to play a match and Baltika-Kalingrad are not looking forward to it!. 

CSKA's goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev once said Luch should play in the Japanese league after his team were beaten 4-0 by the side. Afterall Luch are just over 1,000km away from Tokyo? But Luch-Energiya were relegated in November 2008 when they finished rock-bottom of Russia's premier league. Shame because they are a good side. 

Trips in Detail: 

In 2008 Luch-Energiya had to face 15 trips to Western Russia. Tom Tomsk were just under 4,000km and Kazan were 5,000km just two trips add up to 9,000km plus the 6,500km to all 5 moscow clubs is now 41,500km and that is just 7 trips!!! Saturn come in at 6,500 as well to that is 48,000km in 8 trips. 

The Trips to Grozny's two clubs are in total coming in at just over 11,500km to make it 59,500km in 10 trips and the next 3 in Amkar Perm, Zenit and Krylya add up to 15,000km and the remaining 2 trips to Shinnik and Khimki are 12,000km. 

Grand Total!!!

Luch-Energiya had to travel a total of 86,500km!!!! 86,500km to 15 away matches in 8 months?. 

And to add to that journey i missed one very important thing what of the return journey? In and out to those matches thoughout 2008 came in at a whopping 173,000km

Now Manchester United are you complaining about Jet Lag? haha and they have to travel even more in 2009 with the 2nd division having Kalingrad which is basically a continent away. 

Stockport 1-3 Leeds

This made my Sunday really we have been struggling for a win and this was our first win in 6 games!! We beat Stockport but still way off the pace. Big up for Simon though

New Releases

As the year approaches it's final days 2008 has seen some of the best house artists around release some quiet good stuff. We had Kerri Chandler release a few new tracks along with Nikola Gala, Moodymann and others.
With 4 days left in the year we can look forward to another year of new releases and i have heard rumours of Kerri Chandler coming to Ireland for a few mixes?? maybe but we will have to see.

Leeds 1-1 Leicester 26th December 2008

I am happy with this result considering what has happened this week with Gary McAllister's sacking.
We went 1-0 down in the 1st half and i thought then we would continue our losing run. But fair-play has to go out to the team who showed great character to grab and equailiser in the final minutes.
Simon Grayson to be honest was a surprise to see him get the manager's role ahead of Gus Poyet and Aidy Boothroyd. Me Personally i would've gone for Gus becuase he knows Leeds United FC inside out and in his previous stint with Leeds was the brains behind the team. But 1-1 i won't complain about that it's better to get a draw than to lose and thanks to Robert Snodgrass for that goal to give us the point. But still we are some way off the pace. Can't wait for Stockport tomorrow.

Fish go Deep's major New-year Show

Fish go Deep are planning a major show on Red Fm on new year's eve to end the year with top house tracks and roll in 2009 with more deep house tracks from all over the world.
I am quiet excited about this show because i know that, that awsome track will be featured. But some of the classics as well will be great to have in the show.
I have plans for a release of a podcast on this blog next year possibly in Late July early August 2009 still thinking about the tracks to add but i'd say that would be the time to release it.

There are quiet a number of good tracks at the moment but i am still waiting for one to overtake Moodymann's remix of Jose James' Desire track i will be putting the video up in the next few days so you can have a listen of it. Trust me it is a good track and Moodymann is quiet a good remixer.
