Pathetic
Filed Under Carling Cup, Injuries | 6 Comments
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.

Keith Hackett on the Arsenal v Chelsea ‘brawl’
Filed Under Carling Cup, Fights, The FA | 3 Comments
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.

The match that had everything.
Filed Under Football | 3 Comments
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 [...]

…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 [...]

Hilarious Champions League coverage…

…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 [...]

A new definition of ‘fear’
Filed Under Football | Leave a Comment
From a story on Football365:
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.

United crush
Filed Under Champions League, Stadia | 1 Comment
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 [...]

It really is a joke
Filed Under Money | Leave a Comment
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 [...]
