It seems that the world of football punditry is being taken over. By Scousers. Jamie Carragher hung up his boots last year, put on a suit and open-necked shirt (protocols for the trade) and sat in the Sky studio making noises that no-one could undersand. Well, Stevie Gerrard could probably understand him, maybe Wayne Rooney, – Read More-
Its a faith thing. Trust. Belief. Devotion. Hope. But mainly trust. Unfortunately, God wasn’t available when AVB was sacked so we’ve got Tim Sherwood instead. Same difference. Obviously Tim is not the holy of holies, he’s not the Divine Creator of All Eternity!, he’s not the Master of the Universe. I appreciate all that. Furthermore, – Read More-
They found 14,000 people worldwide and asked them who they most admired. I didn’t even come in the top 96. Bastards. Bill Gates came top. Obama was 3rd or 4th, the highest Brit was Stephen Hawking in 16th, his wheelchair came 17th. Amoung Britains, the Queen was first, again there was no mention of me, – Read More-
Thomas Hitzlsperger is gay. He ‘came out’ the other day, having now retired from professional football due to health reasons. If playing for West Ham can be considered ‘professional football’. I don’t know how you’d describe what the Hammers do currently, but ‘football’ would not readily be the term that springs to mind. Thomas didn’t – Read More-
New Years here. In case you missed it while I was away. Its a time for making (hollow) promises, for resolutions destined never to make it til February, for turning over a new leaf. And, like all new leaves, it will turn brown, fall off and be swept away with one of those horrible 2-stroke – Read More-
“Chelsea don’t harbour divers.” Thus spake Jose Morinho, everyone’s favourite Portuguezer now that poor (not very) old Eusebio has gone to play in the great stadium in the sky. Odd then, that sixteen Chelsa players have been booked in the last 3 games for ‘simulation’. I think the problem is that players in general but – Read More-
I love sports. But hate exercise. In that I like doing things that involve others in a sporting situation but doing it on my own is like some form of mastubatory unfulfilment. I think its the trash talk I miss. I find it most unrewarding to sit in front of the mirrors at the gym – Read More-
I’m going to Denver. Colorado just this week legalised the use of cannabis for ‘recreational use’. Like 4 x 4 driving in the mountains; you can now do it stoned out of your box. Or deep-sea diving, marlin fishing, sailing or skiing. All recreations now to be greatly enhanced by smoking dope. Though good luck – Read More-
If you’re going on a nudist holiday, what do you pack in your suitcase? The answer is: suncream. Loads of suncream. Very powerful, factor 250, viagra flavoured suncream. When you walk along our beach here to the eastern (or possibly western, I have no idea, no clue and absolutely no desire to find out) extreme, – Read More-
How is it a ‘tropical paradise’ if you can’t get Sky Sports 1?? You can eat as many meals as you like, drink all the Mai Tais and Mojitos, walk as many beers along the beach as your heart desires (not sure incessant beer-drinking when already 14 stone overweight is good for your heart anyway: – Read More-
