Miracle man? What a load of bollocks. I read last night about Terry’s ‘remarkable’ recovery.
Now, what happened to him wasn’t nice to see but there really is nothing miraculous or remarkable about a somebody regaining consciousness. It happens all the fucking time.
I think players came together and I have no doubt the FA will look at the videos carefully and they will deal with it in their usual manner.
So, shoddily and with hilarious incompetence then.
Video of the incident with Chinese commentary. Well, it’s better than listening to Andy fucking Gray.
Bollocks to Alan Green, bleating away sanctimoniously about what a disgrace it was, the whole match was brilliant. Arsenal were great in the first half, and Chelsea were stronger in the second. Robben made a huge difference when he came on, and despite bearing the social stigma of gross ugliness, Drogba wasn’t as much of a cunt as he normally is. Eboue still managed to make an arse of himself like normal, and even Fabregas pretended he’d been hit in the face.
And what a fight! It was just like the glory days of football, where you could guarantee that at least one match a week would end up in a 22 player brawl, and this time we even had the added bonus of a player being sent off for nothing at all. Eboue twatted Bridge, Adebayor got shown the red card and almost swung for the ref. Oh my aching sides!
The only thing the game lacked was an equaliser, so we could have had another 30 minutes of hearty knockabout fun. Boys against men, it’s what football’s all about.
…that managers must chew gum like a cow chews the cud? I never thought anyone would top Sir Alex Ferguson but watching Sam Allardcye gurn away on the sidelines recently puts him way at the top of the list.
The only ones, off the top of my head, who I’ve never seen chew gum are Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez.
Milan’s Gilardino shows us how it’s done by the professionals.
…of Barcelona v Liverpool.
Every time Barcelona do anything of note they cut to Eto’o in the stands who is doing his utmost to make sure everyone knows how much he’s supporting the team.
At one stage Ronaldinho did a trick and they cut to Eto’o applauding but his eyes give him a way. He’s dying a little on the inside.
Update: And here he is in training making friends with Thuram.
And if that’s not enough for you check out this post from a couple of months back which shows Eto’o wailing on the ground after Cameroon lost a penalty shoot out. A shoot out in which he declined to take a penalty.
Shevchenko… has recently found the kind of form that made him one of the world’s most feared strikers.
2007: Two goals against Wycombe, one against Nottingham Forest, one against Norwich. That sound you can hear is defenders shaking in their boots.
It was a bit scary looking at pictures of United fans being crushed during last night’s Champions League game against Lille. I thought football, at least in Europe’s top leagues and premier club competition, had moved beyond that.
UEFA are investigating. It will be interesting to hear what they say about a situation that should never have happened and I’ll be very interested to hear what they have to say about the French police who thought tear gas was a good option.
I love Peter Kenyon’s quote about Chelsea’s £80m losses for last season.
These figures demonstrate the business is moving in the right direction.
I suppose he’s right. The previous season they posted losses of £140m. So £80m isn’t too bad compared to that.
That said it’s sort of like a serial killer saying, “I’m getting better. I only murdered 6 people this year as opposed to 10 the year before!”
So that’s a grand total of £220m lost in two seasons. It speaks for itself.
