Nicolas Anelka ‘performed’ his now infamous ‘quenelle’ geture after scoring a goal on December 28th. I think it safe to say that at that time, unless you are French or part of a worldwide anti-semitic conspiracy, that, like me, you’d never seen nor heard of such a thing. I thought a ‘quenelle’ was a new – Read More-
Fantastic goal was scored on Sunday by Cheik Tiote, the Newcastle midfielder. Stunning goal. Goal of the day/month/season type goal. And then it wasn’t. After careful consideration (we don’t got no tv replays in our national game) and discussion it was decided that it was not a goal. Someone was offside. Not Tiote, he was – Read More-
China is making big efforts in improving its image. As well it needs to. Its an awful place. Corrupt, overcrowded, full of poor people, under a brutal regime, no human rights, forced to eat dogs, cats and slugs, and it produces more carbon than the rest of the world put together. But its rich. Very – Read More-
Poor Valerie Trierweiller. Upon hearing of her partner’s love affair with Julie Gayet, she felt as if, according to a friend, ‘she’d been hit in the chest by a high speed train’. She should live in England. The trains are never high speed, if they turn up at all. But this explains why certain women – Read More-
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-
