I swear it's Redknapp

Or should that be Redknapp swears?

Quality stuff

Arsenal - Spurs (4-4) Fanzone

Why do people do this?

Can you imagine 'Son of a Baker' and 'Mighty Mouse' doing this?

Who'd be a manager?

Flipping 'eck, will make me think about my team selections from now on.

Player left out commits suicide

Read the last line - surely not right that. Could they not wait until after the match?

On another note, I thought Gallas was going to explode again last night - fragile that man, very fragile.

Post a great goal..............

With none of the usual suspects.............

Here are three from me:

Justin Fashanu - its against the vermin!


Mark Hughes sideways scissors kick - ah, childhood memories



Cambaisso at the World Cup - my favourite goal of recent times

Confused...........

This is the list for FIFA's World Player of the Year Award.

Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo),
Sergio Agüero (Argentina),
Andrei Arshavin (Russia),
Michael Ballack (Germany),
Gianluigi Buffon (Italy),
Iker Casillas (Spain),
Deco (Portugal),
Didier Drogba (Côte d'Ivoire),
Samuel Eto'o (Cameroon),
Cesc Fabregas (Spain),
Steven Gerrard (England),
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden),
Andrés Iniesta (Spain),
Kaká (Brazil),
Frank Lampard (England),
Lionel Messi (Argentina),
Franck Ribéry (France),
Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal),
John Terry (England),
Fernando Torres (Spain),
Ruud van Nistelrooy (Netherlands),
David Villa (Spain)
and Xavi (Spain).

The names in blue have me baffled - how on Earth are they on this list? What did they do last season? How is Terry there and Ferdinand not? How many games did he play? How many penalties did hero score? Oh

Based on last season Drogba shouldn't be there. Is Arshavin there based on two weeks in the sun during EURO 2008?

Why is Zlatan in red? Is there really a more over-rated footballer playing the game at this moment in time. What a steaming pile of SH*T. Absolutely atrocious footballer with the work ethic of a scouser.

Where is Rio, Evra, Sneijder, Benzema and Senna (who in my opinion was player of the tournament at EURO 2008)?

Football, it's all about opinions (and idiots it seems)

FFL Week 8

A good week for people whose names end in O this week. Robinho nets his first Premier League hatrick, Alonso ends Chelsea's four-year unbeaten home record in the league, and Theo top scores with 16 (in a week in which Spurs get their first 3 points of the season).

However, Mike's the one to really look out for at the moment. With 32 points in the past 2 weeks, he moves up to within 11 points of the top spot. With Robinho and Berbatov up front, and a solid defence, he's looking like a serious contender.

Spare a thought for Donald. Bottom of the table, lowest score of the week, Jagielka and Given chipping away at his total every week, and Jo nowhere to be seen.

The scores:

	FFL 2008/09 LEAGUE TABLE
Diff			Total Points
	1st	Stathi	94
6	2nd	Nick Ath	88
9	3rd	Nick PC	85
10	4th	James	84
11	5th	Mike	83
21	6th	Theo	73
24	7th	Sid	70
32	8th	Don	62

There was 1 transfer to report this week: Nick PC finally gets rid of Petrov and buys Ryan Babel (Theo's reject, Theo's reject, woah, woah).

Expect the table to look very different next week, with a double week upon us. Exciting times.

Your Chairman

FFL Week 8

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

I'm not sure what that means, but a French epithet feels appropriate in a week of upheaval and movement. We have a new leader, just as I predicted a couple of weeks ago, in Stathi. He may not have finisihed as the week's top scorer, but 15 points was enough to see him leap into the top spot. Once again Rooney was the chief provider, with 7 points. Let's hope Ferguson's claim that Rooney's goals come in spurts is not simply a ploy to keep the little fat balding man motivated (and the big fat balding man at the top of the table - sorry, that seemed to type itself).

It was Mike, with 17 points, who topped the scoring charts this week, his strike force of Berbatov and Robinho yielding 5 apiece. James also continued his impressive recent form with 14 points, lifting him into 2nd place.

As for me, well, how the mighty have fallen. 15 points in 3 weeks just doesn't do it at this level. However, Cech, Carvalho, Cahill, Santa Cruz, and Diouf can't possibly all miss another week this season. Not that any of you fuckers care, and why should you?

So, here are the points:

	FFL 2008/09 LEAGUE TABLE
Diff			Total Points
	1st	Stathi	86
8	2nd	James	78
9	3rd	Nick Ath	77
14	4th	Nick PC	72
18	5th	Mike	68
27	6th	Sid	59
29	7th	Theo	57
29	8th	Don	57

Amr Zaki's double at Anfield finally resulted in the scramble for his signature, with 3 managers bidding for him. Alas, Alves (Donald) and Owen (Theo) couldn't match Tevez in value, so he goes to Nick PC (who managed to take time out from planning his holiday to ring some changes). However, Nick's attempt to jettison Petrov for Malouda was ambushed by Theo, who ditches Babbel (there was only £1k between the bids).

That's it for another week.

Your Chairman

UPDATE: Oh, and I forgot to mention that James bought Peter Crouch last week for Dean Ashon. Sorry, it was that silly international week.

FFL Week 7

Well, don't say I didn't warn you. Could Stathi be the first manager to win back-to-back titles? Rooney and Defoe will surely be the top strike force this season, and with Deco to return there are lots of goals in the team. However, the defence is weak - Lescott's a sieve this year, Silvestre's not likely to feature much and Skrtel's out for a while.

As you've probably guessed, Stathi top scored this week with 12 points. He's now just 1 point behind the leader (that's me) who only managed a meagre 2 points, the lowest this week. Elsewhere, 8 points was about the average.

The table looks like this:

	FFL 2008/09 LEAGUE TABLE
Diff			Total Points
	1st	Nick Ath	72
1	2nd	Stathi	71
8	3rd	Nick PC	64
8	4th	James	64
17	5th	Theo	55
21	6th	Don	51
21	7th	Sid	51
21	8th	Mike	51

There were no transfers this week. And with one of those poxy international weeks coming up, it's time for another breather.

A bientot

Your Chairman

Will this be the summer's transfer saga?

Not another one......................................

FAB WANTS OUT..........eventually

RE: Japan Banking Update

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.

In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.

While Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

He's still special.......................

The Inter Milan boss enjoyed the last laugh in a joust with a journalist before a 1-1 home draw with Werder Bremen.

The former Chelsea boss offered to let an Italian reporter, who had been needling him, select the Inter team - rather than slag off the lineup afterwards.

"I would if you gave me part of the nine million euros you earn," beamed the scribe.

Mourinho shot back: "It's not nine million, it's 11 and with sponsors it comes to 14."
