Pot. Kettle. Black.

Are these guys taking the p*ss or what?

Ferguson complaining that Bayern Munich players surrounded the referee and bullied him into making decisions in their favour? One name - Gary Neville. And we all know there are plenty others.

Benitez complaining that he hasn't had enough money to spend on his squad? If spending over £200m isn't enough then no wonder there's a financial crisis in football.

Have a little shame gents...

FFL Week 32

Firstly, sorry for yet another delay. Actually, fuck it, I'm not sorry at all. It's a pain in the arse.

Secondly, it's been an astonishing, record-breaking week. It's your year when a defender you took a punt on bags heaps of points and doesn't play when his team gets humped. It's your year when you make 2 substitutions and they both chip in with points immediately. It's you year when Frank Lampard scores 21 (twenty-one) points in a single gameweek. It's your year when you score 55 (fifty-five) points in said gameweek. Here's how he did it:

Reina 5
Clichy 2
Insua 3
Jagielka 6
Cuellar 0 (avoiding -6)
Lampard 21
SWP 0
Cahill 3
Valencia 0
Tevez 9
Carew 6

Stathi: Nani IN, Petrov OUT.

RE: Chrissy Waddle gives it to you straight...

Former England winger Chris Waddle has launched a savage attack on Theo Walcott.

According to Waddle, a pundit for BBC Radio Five Live for England's win over Egypt on Wednesday night, the Arsenal forward does not possess a football brain and hasn't developed his game since his 2006 transfer from Southampton to the Emirates.

"People keep saying he's young but Wayne Rooney understood the game at 16, 17," Waddle told The Times. "I've never seen any difference in Walcott since he was at Southampton and broke into the team at a very young age.

"I've never seen him develop. He just doesn't understand the game for me - where to be running, when to run inside a full back, when to just play a one-two. It's all off the cuff.

"I just don't think he's got a football brain and he's going to have problems. Let's be honest, good defenders would catch him offside every time. I just don't know whether he studies the game, learns the game, or what. He's at a great club where they play fantastic football week-in, week-out, and I'm just surprised he's never developed his game.

"I'm surprised Walcott was in the squad. He doesn't play a lot of football, he hasn't done anything. he hasn't done anything for a long time and I think Croatia was a one-off."


Here here Mr W, totally agree!!

Rico finally woke up and made four substitutions. He bought Zamora (beating off my bid with Keane in the process), Diamanti, Ferreira and Adam Johnson for van Persie, Eduardo, Ashley Cole and Geovanni respectively.

Death of football comes ever closer......................


I know, I know I'm a doomlord but I can't help but feel that football is coming to the end when you hear that a has-been Premier League footballer who was past it four years ago and has looked utter dogshit when playing against another Prem side in Europe is going to be paid £10million for 18 months.

Step forward Patrick Vieira.














"Hey Samuel, guess what? city are going to pay me 130k a week...........ha, ha, ha"


Surely the luckiest footballer in the world at this moment in time? (until Mansour opens his cheque book again)

Mourinho doesn't rate him at Inter - he can't get a game - so manchester wannabe sign him.

However, this signing says two things to me:

1) Mancini knows him better - is this an astute bit of business by the new boss - city to be the next force in English, European and World football

or

2) It just shows Mancini's naivety. Clueless twat.................
