Today I was reflecting how yesterday….Saturday 25th October 2003 was a day to celebrate. In the morning I watched a team with several ex-Gooners in it and who have no home ground of their own and were most people’s favourites for relegation taught those manure scum b@$t@rd$ how to play football. To see Ruud Van Nistelcheat put in his place by Moritz Volz who in my opinion should be playing at right back for us now instead of Lauren was a sight to behold. Another ex-Gooner…Boa Morte put the fear of god in United’s defence when he had the ball near their goal. Not only that, but Inamoto who AW never gave a chance at THOF put the death knell in United’s coffin with that third goal. To see the look on Tim Howard’s face was magic after he’d been beaten THREE times:)lol To see Taggart stuck in the directors box because of a two match ban was even better. Wonder who he kicked in the face with the football boot this time?:)lol Not only that, but that other overrated sports team who is the manure’s partner namely the New York Yankees lost the World Series to the upstart Marlins….oh dear, oh dear, oh dear:)lol Saturday 25th October 2003 was not a good day if you were manure fan from the Bronx or a Yankees fan from Manchester:)lol

Oy! Just because we share taste in football, doesn’t mean we share them in baseball. I’m a Yankee fan, and, here are my thoughts on the subject:
You could see the writing on the wall Thursday night. Despite an amazing top of the ninth comeback by the Yankees in Game 4, the Marlins still went on to win the game in extra innings. The moment I knew the Yankees were not going to win this World Series was when Jeff Weaver came out to pitch in the 12th inning of that game. Weaver, who was awful all regular-season, and had not featured until this point in the post season as a result, gave up the winning homerun to some clown who had gone 0-for the century or something like that. It was then that I realized, 2003 was the year of the Floridians.
Things started out so well in the beginning of the year, when the Buckeyes of “The” Ohio State University finally put the University of Miami Hurricanes where the whole country wanted them -in the loss column - with an amazing win in the Fiesta Bowl. However, the promise of early January soon gave way to a darker reality, one foreshadowed by the 2000 Presidential election and the popularity of Grand Theft Auto, Vice City. It took only a few weeks for the land of Disney and Jeb Bush to re-assert it’s unworthy influence on the nation, when the faux-Oakland Raiders - the Tampon Bay Buccaneers - beat the real Oakland Raiders in the Super Bowl.
It continued in the spring when the Tampon Bay Lightning won the division title in the Southeast, arguably the NHL’s weakest division. The “Bolts” went on to advance to the Eastern Conference semi-finals, losing only to eventual Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils, but still having a better season than the New York Rangers and the New York Islanders.
In late summer, the Philadelphia Phillies surrendered a good-sized lead in the National League Wild Card race, and then fell flat on their faces in a set of home and home series against the Marlins. Clinching the Wild Card was all the chance the Marlins needed. They went on beat the San Francisco Giants in the first round by not pitching to Barry Bonds, then paid off Steve Bartman in order to beat the Chicago Cubs for the National League pennant.
I was absolutely exhausted after the Yankees vs. Red Sox series, so I can only imagine how the players must have felt. Mentally, emotionally, and physically drained after fighting tooth and nail with their greatest rivals, they now had the unenviable task of playing Goliath to the completely unlikeable Davids of Florida. Florida’s slingshot took the form of the sneering, cocky Josh Beckett, who’s in desperate need of having that smirk wiped from his face.
Last night undoubtedly saw the end of an era in the Bronx. It’s sad to say, but still highly likely, that we’ve probably seen the last of Mel Stottlemeyer, Don Zimmer, and Lee Mazilli on the Yankee coaching staff. And if that’s the case, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joe Torre call it quits. It would be a tragic end to an amazing run, and I for one hope cooler heads prevail. With George Steinbrenner at the helm cool heads seem to be woefully absent in the Yankee front office, and this winter is shaping up to the be the worst in the Bronx since 1981.
There can be only one good outcome from all of this…
The last time the Yankees lost in the World Series, Arsenal went on to win the Double. Let’s hope that history repeats itself.
- COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

Let’s just get this straight. The yankees suck and always will. Their frontrunner fans are pathetic no matter what way you look at it. Having said this, Saurday was one of the best sports days of my young life, with my 2nd favorite team, Fulham, beating up on ManUtd and the Yankee twats getting embarassed by a 23 year old or whatever Beckett is. Lets go Mets and Gunners!
