Holy God. I am more than a strong Liverpool sympathizer, as regular readers (that are still around) will know. How exciting is this result? Even for the neutrals! It puts the title race back on~!

Amateur golfer, karaoke ethusiast, and world renowned diplomat, Craig Bellamy scored for Manchester City on his debut yesterday.

To me, this is the most hilarious thing ever. I wonder if he'll stay with City after we get relegated

Happy New Year!

Everyone who knows me knows that I love the FA Cup. I'm not going to go on about how sad it is big clubs field softer sides for Cup ties because it's been done ad nauseam. All of the stupid nonsense on the television about Giant Killing and "everyone turns up for the Cup" is the kind of shit I eat up and love about it.

I was watching Soccer Saturday (which I LOVE during the FA Cup), and Stelling's reaction to Hartlepool going 2-0 up over Stoke was classic. Forest's 3-0 thrashing of City, while personally upsetting, is exactly what makes the FA Cup fantastic to watch.

I am just glad there are more matches on television here now. You don't get many opportunities to watch Gillingham in the US.

anti - soccerball commercial that's been making the rounds

2008-09-24T06:41:00.001-04:00

eh, it just seems silly to portray soccer fans as white ass geeks that 95% of them are, when these white ass geeks are the only ones with money to buy your shitty tv.

Also, Nascar is stupid and Payton Manning sucks.

David Beckham continues his campaign of terror against American children.

My information is that Hackett told Mark Halsey to rescind the red card [of John Terry] and he would not do it. Now I understand that Halsey is being made to referee in the Second Division this weekend. I just don’t understand how this could have happened. If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would never have done this for us.” - Sir Alex Ferguson.

While we and Pedro Mendes know that is not true, this was a crazy tackle:

It kind of reminds me of this with it's use of Rugby in football

QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Wait, wait, can I just ask one more question, I've just taken a five-and-a-half-hour train journey to get here?" - Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterril bursts into this afternoon's Dutch press conference just as it is ending.
"Edwin [van der Sar], do you think it would be a bad move for Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United?" - Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterril is allowed to ask his question.
"I'm only here to talk about the Dutch team. Sorry about your journey" - Van der Sar's response.

Cantona to Man United??

2008-06-11T08:40:00.002-04:00

the Guardian has some odd rumour today about how Eric Cantona is looking to replace Fergie as manager of Man United

While I hated him as a player, he's one strange mutha fucka, and I really hope this is true. This would bring the lulz for years to come.

Manchester United Champions of Europe

2008-05-23T12:19:00.002-04:00

I'll echo everyone around the footie blogosphere who say that Manchester United has been the best team in Europe this year and do deserve to win it.

I also thought though, being a City supporter, that I'd share this random thought I had while walking to work this morning.

Manchester United have won the European Cup as many times as Nottingham Forest

Congratulations to Pompey and Cardiff City for doing what Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea couldn't do over the past couple of years, spare us from more than 90 minutes of boring ass football.

I'm not in the mood to write about Man City's bullshit right now, but at least we're in Europe next year.

Well, I suppose that's true. (Funny pictures)

More Liverpool LULZ from Ahead of the Game

HICKS WARNED TO STAY AWAY
Merseyside Police have advised the Liverpool co-owner to avoid tonight's Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea because of fears for his safety. "Advice was given to the club based on a standard ongoing risk assessment," a police spokeswoman said. "The safety of all those attending has been considered." The club still expect Hicks to attend. Well, he'd be mad to miss a European Cup tie at Anfield.

City bewildered as Thaksin Shinawatra doubts Sven-Goran Eriksson | Manchester City - Times Online

Manchester City’s worst fears were confirmed yesterday when Thaksin Shinawatra, the Barclays Premier League club’s controversial owner, said that he is considering the possibility of sacking Sven-Göran Eriksson at the end of the season. Eriksson has done an impressive job since taking over as City manager last July, but despite strong denials from the club, there have been suspicions for some weeks that the Swede’s job is under threat.

Holy Jesus, what is it with Billionaire owners? City do not produce miraculous results. Did he really think he could undo 32 years of City being City with some fucking money. You can't buy well in January and Eriksson was appointed very late in the summer to do too much with the group. He is the fucking future of this club. I wasn't sure when he was first appointed, but he inherited a hodge podge team bought really well with limited time, and voila top half of the table. The best part is, he tries to get them to play flowing football, City are no longer masters of the Long Ball. (When they're not running scared that is, because they'll hoof that shit like Liverpool or Bolton if they get nervous--but they're a relatively NEW side). Wenger does it with Arsenal and he's got Moral Victory and no trophies. Why isn't that enough for Frank right now? Because seriously, die hard Man City fans are thrilled with Sven.

Gillett offers Parry Support
Liverpool's co-owner George Gillett has thrown his support behind Rick Parry in the wake of Tom Hicks' call for the chief executive to resign.

WOW this is amusing

Player of the Year Nominations

2008-04-11T08:15:00.003-04:00

THE NOMINEES

Players' Player of the Year

Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
David James (Portsmouth)
Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)

Young Player of the Year

Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd)
Fernando Torres (Liverpool)
Ashley Young (Aston Villa)
Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal)
Micah Richards (Man City)

How old do you have to be to not be a young player anymore? Ronaldo is well older than the rest of them. Not that it matters, Ronaldo is going to win the main one and probably the other, and deservedly so.

I think that Torres would be a better choice just because of demeanor and sportsmanship and if he was in the season any year when Ronaldo wasn't scoring 97 goals he'd be a shoe-in.

David James' inclusion made me laugh though I have to admit.

Let's all laugh at Liverpool some more

Hicks demands Parry quits Liverpool role - CNN.com

Hicks is believed to be unhappy with Parry's ability to run the club. His main concerns are supposedly that Parry is slow and unresponsive when dealing with manager Rafa Benitez and the signing of players, and that he is disrespectful to fans, particularly over tickets for last season's Champions League final.

Well, Tom Hicks is a fucking nut, and the best thing that could happen for Liverpool fans would be if he fucking dropped dead. BUT he is right about Parry rolling over to Uefa regarding tickets for last years' final. It was a disgrace. I wonder why Hicks would be on the side of good and not evil for that one though

I have been reading a lot about Karren Brady lately, and I want to be like her when I grow up even though she's only 10 years older than me which makes me past it.

Also, I've moved house and my computer died but I'm settled and bought a new computer. Back to regularly scheduled bullshit now!
