In between the year World Cup & Euros there is a summer where fans really want football. There are other sports that take place on a regular basis, F1 Tennis Golf, but what about adding the Home Nations Football Tournament in the odd years?
There are 2 qualifying games held in the early summer of the odd years so the tournament can be held a week after them games, with the same squad. Two games can be held on Saturday, two games can be held on Wednesday and the final two games can be held on Sunday.
Sat: England V Scotland & Northern Ireland V Wales
Wed: Wales V England & Scotland V Northern Ireland
Sun: England V Northern Ireland & Wales V Scotland.
like the Six Nations the teams will swap who get to play home for each tournament. Also this keeps the tournament in a small window of the summer for players to have a break.
Another reason to do this would be a financial reason. The Scottish Welsh and Northern Ireland FAs do not have a lot of money coming in because they are not in the World Cup or Euros to gain the monies, which would help then develop there national Academies. The Home Nations Tournament can help them. By sell TV rights around the world.
Also it would be good for all the players involved. If they feel the win of a tournament it will give them more confidence going into the qualifying groups. Success breads Success.

Hey ive just joined tumblr. by the looks of it, its another blogin site but i am looking forward to findout more and to develop my creative skill (songwriting) and expand my online Formula1 commentary, which you can listen via http://audioboo.fm/jaiom.
Have a nice day.
These lyrics i wrote back in April 2007 Verse 1 Welcome all I'm Dr Jekyll, This is all you see for me to sparkle. No need to find out what's behind, My closed doors are in my mind. Lets go out and have some fun, While I'm on my happy run. In the end, ill step back home, Just to sit, in corner alone. Chorus I cant tell which is my Dr Jekyll and which is Mr Hyde. They both seem to be fighting and ripping my pride. Cus most of the time it feels like I'm living a lie. Verse 2 Has the beast inside gone to sleep, Is there any meaning that aren't so deep. As it wakes, it bleeds me too, Just to keep me away from you. Its out for my happiness and joy, And keeping from being your boy. As I lye in my bed, trying not to cry, I think of you to beat Mr Hyde. Chorus Solo Out-Verse What will win, I don't know, These battles may just come and go. Take the first step into the light, With some help it will all be right. And as you stand up you will shine, Knowing that your life well work out fine. Just take a look at what you've become, And all you've had to do, you have done.
I listen to talk SPORT a lot and heard a comment about the EPL fixture between West Bromwich vs Watford along the lines of, the EPL was formed to bring big teams and entertaining games. I remember the same being said on a news report following the Fulham vs Charlton game(please contact me if I'm wrong) which was aired on the Premier League channel on NTL cable. So this got me thinking. What would be the 'best', ideal 20 EPL. This is what I have come up with. Arsenal Aston Villa Birmingham Blackburn Chelsea Everton Ipswich Leeds Leicester Liverpool Manchester United Manchester City Nottingham Forrest Newcastle United Tottenham Hotspur Sheffield Wednesday Southampton Sunderland West Brom West Ham This would be my 20 League and I know everyone would have a different one. As I was making my list I remember watching the league in the late 90s and Blackburn, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forrest where in the EPL and Manchester City, Stoke city and Bournemouth where in the lower leagues. There have been a total of 47 different team in the EPL I thought about taking Nottingham put of my choice and replacing them with either Norwich, Portsmouth or Sheffield United to make more local derbies. Or even put Middlesbrough in there, who have been in the league longer but both would probably do the same in the league. See what you can come up with and I think you will think longer after you have put down 12 and keep changing 5 teams. It's just for fun and could help in the debate about which is the bigger clubs. 😆 Muteen Hussain @Jaiom

Ok so i need £150k, £35k to clear my debts, £80k to have my own place. I want my own space and be happy with my way off life. Living with family is depressing me and losing hope. That make £115k i have £35k left over. with that money i would invest in myself to become an Astrophysicist. I would love that as a career, and this time i wont get my mum saying i cant do it because its no longer up to her.

This year has been the best for me in 10 years. The first half was great, I was happy and believed I had found someone and was enjoying her around her even if it was for a few minutes
