Extremely BAD injury. Even Wenger would have seen this tackle

Quality or bad taste? - YOU decide

Found this little gem (in my opinion) but there is a part that some may find of poor taste.

It's your choice and if you feel it shouldn't be here, I'll delete it.

FFL Week 1.....what goes around comes around

So let the games begin.........

My first year as reigning champion (that phrase may well become a regular feature of my weekly blatherings) and my first year as scorer on the blog so bear with me and feel free to correct any scoring inaccuracies..........my opinions however you're lumbered with!!

Firstly, self-congratulation all round on the smoothest auction yet, done and dusted in less than 4 hours.

Secondly and hence title of my blog. Couldnt help but enjoy the irony of McGeady;s sending off for a BLATANT dive and this sentence from Mowbray......... "If we hadn't had the week we've had in the media, I would suggest the referee would never have made it a sending off," said the Celtic manager.......whose fault is that then Tony!

So the early scores done post-auction yesterday which I will check at my first audit after Internationals:

1. James 63


2. Nick Ath 57


3. Stathi 49


4. Rico 46


5. Mike 39


6. Don 35


7. Nick Ach 32


8. Theo 22


9. Sid 22

Useless stat of the week..........costliest team:

1. Cech 8m


2. Evra 13.1m


3. Bosingwa 13.5m


4. Vidic 11.2m


5. Terry 11.3m


6. Arsahvin 16.5m


7. Lampard 16.7m


8. Gerrard 15.2m


9. Fabregas 15.5m


10. Rooney 18.1m


11. Torres 16.5m

Total cost is 155.6m and unsurpisingly all players from the traditional Big 4 (4 CFC / 3 Man Utd / 2 Liverpool / 2 AFC). What a team...swap big Fat Frank for Essien for a bit of bite and you're unbeatable!! Only me and Nick PC don't have any of the most expensive players. 2 each for Rico, Nick (both CB) Stathi and Mike.

Bargain bucket team....my take on worst of <0.5m>

1. Gomes


2. Ferrira


3. Rafael


4. Agger


5. Davies


6. Geovanni


7. Huddlestone


8. Modric


9. Reid


10. Yakubu


11. Tevez

Probably irrelevant but 3 of those each for Theo, Sid and Rico and 1 each for Mike & Nick.........

We shall see.............

Bitter, bitter man

Just let it go Arsene. You lost. Get over it. There are 35 games left.

Wenger: United approach is anti-football

This is why this man is so infuriating. Love his philosophy on football - he plays it the right way but he can NEVER be allowed to take the moral high ground on issues like this.

Ever since he sent out his team to NOT play against United in the 2005 Cup Final (120 minutes and NO shots on goal) his protestations about how the game should be played and his "anti-football" rants should be ignored.

Oh, and for the record................

Most fouls 08/09 Utd v Arse
Denilson 57
Van Persie 46
Song 44
Vidic 39
Berba 33
Fabregas 33
Diaby 31

And another thing, wasn't it the Son of a Baker who pointed out that a certain Gilberto Silva made nearly double the number of fouls before he was booked when compared to other players?

For you Mr Kaplan............

To prove your point sir.

Enjoy

LADY BOY DIVE

Has football gone MAD?

Remember the story that did the rounds regarding John Arne Riise's payslip which stated he earned something in the region of £140,000 for September (including bonuses)?






















That was a ridiculous amount of money then but check out today's story:

JOHNSON KOPS £13OK PER WEEK

Sorry I know football has gone to obscene levels of paying the top stars, but if this is true then that is quite possibly the WORST/BEST contract (depending if you are the player himself or the club) in terms of an ability/pay ratio of any player in the history of the game.

Simply grotesque amount of money. If I feel this way, how do Liverpool fans feel?

It is a shocking amount of money for any footballer to earn let alone an average to shit one!!!

I'm staggered...................

Ukraine's got talent...........

Wow!

Such loyal fans...............

So, it seems neither do those lovable rogues believe 'this is their year', or that they have 'turned the corner'

LIVERPOOL NOT SELLING OUT

But they do have form though.

What would Sky and the BBC say about the "best fans in the world, espceically on those amazing, special, European nights when the Kop is rocking and there is not a person who is not shouting themselves hoarse" if they did their research?????

TWELVE THOUSAND? Yes twelve thousand............................(and no, unemployment is NOT an excuse!)

Footballers and REAL jobs..........

With the news that forklift driver and former England interntional Neil Webb is going to auction off his 1990 FA Cup Winners medal as he is skint, it got me thinking.

1) Wouldn't it be amazing if the likes of this C**T


















had to make a living after football? Hopefully somewhere like NETTO or Costco?

2) If current footballers didn't make it as footballers, what would their 'profession' be?

Adebayor is a dead ringer for a Traffic Warden near where I live!
Vinny Jones and John Terry would be a hod carriers working for Roy Keane's bricklaying firm
Petr Cech would wash windows, assisted by Peter Crouch
Wayne Rooney would be on the dole along with Eboue.
Gerrard would be clearing pint glasses in his local boozer
Jermaine Pennant would be in jail.
Joey Barton would be in jail

any more?
