Champions League comedy blockbuster

Posted on May 22nd, 2008 in Champions League, funny, penalties by Left back

It’s a small man who takes pleasure in another’s misery.

I look at John Terry’s weeping countenance and I admit it freely, I am that small man. I also enjoyed Drogba, the great big bottler, getting sent off. He didn’t fancy a penalty and took the easy way out. English football won’t miss his drama and histrionics no matter how many goals he scores.

What’s great is that basking in the pain of Terry allows me to ignore the fact that United won it. Thank you, JT, thank you.

On the other hand Avram Grant was quietly dignified, consoling a man who many suggest might have been one of those voices from within the dressing room leaking stories to the press about the Israeli’s supposed ineptitude.

On another note, what the hell was Peter Kenyon doing leading the team up to get the medals? He really is a despicable man - but then as a ‘life long red’ his night surely had a silver lining.

What a goal

Ferguson is having a laugh

Quote from the United manager yesterday:

One minute we were top and then Arsenal score their 95th-minute goal from their normal seven minutes of injury time.

Honestly, he must be taking the piss, right? Manchester United, kings of the lengthy injury time, inspired by their manager chewing his gum and angrily tapping his watch at any official in the vicinity, are complaining that another team gets too much injury time?

Laughable.

What Would Spurs Do If They Won The League?

Posted on March 2nd, 2008 in Football, True stories, funny by The Mac

After the revelation that Juande Ramos vetoed the open-top bus parade, this piece makes me wonder - what sort of tattoos were they? I expect Darren Bent’s read “We won the Carling Cup and all I got was this tattoo. I was at Spurs that season, in case you didn’t notice.”

What WOULD happen if they won the League? Pillage? Human sacrifice? Is the Carling Cup worth THAT much to the Spurs players, or is it years of underachievement manifesting itself in overboard actions? A DVD, mug and commemorative t-shirt of the semi-final win against Arsenal is obviously not enough. Perhaps this competition is finally coming back to (near) the top of some teams priorities. Maybe.

Yeah, right.

Boro v Sheffield United an absolute stormer

Threats?

Posted on February 21st, 2008 in Managers, True stories, funny by The Mac

The story that is coming out of Stamford Bridge that a package containing white powder was sent to Avram Grant is a cause for concern.

Frank Lampard is particularly concerned, as he though it was icing sugar.

(n.b. No, I don’t think anti-Semitism is funny, btw)

Nani’s juggling not quite Kerlon

Posted on February 18th, 2008 in Idiots, funny, youtube by Left back

Nani’s ball juggling in the FA Cup game on Saturday was irritating for Arsenal fans, but then young players do things like that from time to time. They learn. And if they don’t they’ll soon get taught by the opposition.

Witness Kerlon, famed for his so-called ’seal’ dribble where he runs with the ball bouncing on his head, get put in his place by a defender distinctly unimpressed by the antics. I think this lad was linked with Manchester United as well. Can you imagine him trying it in England? He’d have his head taken off, and quite rightly.

Just what is Don Givens suggesting about Giovanni Trapattoni?

Have a listen to the first 5 or 6 seconds of this. The word, Don, is ‘interest’.

Trappatoni for Ireland

Posted on February 3rd, 2008 in International, Managers, funny by Left back

Could Giovanni Trappatoni be Ireland’s new manager? Frankly, I couldn’t care less, but if he can provide the same kind of entertainment in his English speaking press conferences as he did in his German ones when manager of Bayern Munich I’ll be quite happy.
