Sticking it to Ashley C***

May 22, 2008 | 57 Comments

Now the season is officially over, I suggest we re-channel all our emotional energy to someone who really deserves it. Instead of insulting each other under the guise of healthy debate, let’s make this a dumping ground for all the toxic love we feel for football’s Mr. Greedy/Vomiting/Cheating Scum. Memo from Moscow to Ashley: It’s called karma c***hole! What a bonus: I just loved it, loved it, when John Terry slipped because I knew he would blub like luvvie. As they say in The Big Lebowski, “Strong men also cry… strong men also cry.” Well, cynical f***ers like me also laugh ourselves silly. “Strong men also cry… strong men also cry.”

Test your knowledge of this seasons winners and losers

May 31, 2005 | 12 Comments

I was just sitting here reflecting on the season as I prepare a few things for next year, when it sort of hit me that, like NCAA football, a lot of teams came out of this season with something to boast.

However, a lot of teams came out of the season with not much to brag about. So I thought a quick match game would help pass the time…

1. Arsenal a) UEFA Champs
2. Chelsea b) FA Cup
3. Liverpool c) Back in Europe for the first time in a while
4. Everton d) EPL Champions
5. Man Utd. e) Absolutely nothing of value whatsoever to speak of…
9th. Spurs f) Even less than above…
1b, 2d, 3a, 4c, 5e, 9th (if that wasn’t obvious)

I can’t really add anything to this

Check out this picture:

And then the accompanying caption:

It all turned to custard for Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United when Fulham stole a point at Loftus Road on February 28, 2004 in London. The champions now trail Arsenal by nine points with 11 rounds to go.

Karma bites Man Utd. in the arse yet again. They’ve now drawn or lost their last 4 league games. They went down in the CL after Fergie talked (expletive deleted) about FC Porto “buying their league title at the corner shop.” (Um, yeah, and they got the Buy One Get One Free special for the UEFA Cup over Celtic too?) Keane sent off for running over Porto’s keeper, and now our favorite Diving Dutchman gets booked whilst still on the bench, as the title gets ready to go back to Highbury where it belongs.

Yeah, what more can I add to this?

Dancing with the Wolves!!

January 17, 2004 | Leave a Comment

What a good start to my weekend. I knew the Manu v. Wolves game was on at 7:30 am, and I was like why should I break my sleep to watch Manu hit four past them?

So I woke up at 8:30 and with nothing better to do switched on the TV.

Nil-Nil. Then I remembered Manu. had a hard time with the Wolves the last time. Were the planets in alignment?

Needless to say the game ended with a Manu. loss. Bottom beats Top. Upsets don?t come much bigger than this!!.

I was hopeful when they won that poisoned chalice – premiership team/manager/player of the month. Manure has since dropped five points in two games with three against the bottom team. The curse at work again?

FERGIE INVESTIGATED

January 12, 2004 | 4 Comments

Reported in all papers that Fergie is to be investigated about financial wrong-doings over the signing of Tim Howard.

It’s not a good time for Fergie. He is taking ManUre’s largest shareholder to court over a racehorse and his son, who acts as a players agent is also to be investigated.

Happy days.

Also, a point of some interest, the last team to score a penalty at Old Trafford was Norwich City in 1993!

Like Reids, blowing in the wind

Yeah sure, it may be a bit early, but this party’s starting right in welcoming Leeds to Division 1 football, where they frankly belonged LAST year, but were it not for a lucky win at OUR expense…

Bitter? Damn right I’m still bitter about that.

TAGGART OPENING UP HIS MOUTH YET AGAIN

November 2, 2003 | 1 Comment

Well, well, well….For a change Alex Ferguson has opened up his mouth yet again by trying to stir things up between him and AW, by insinuating that Arsenal “did a deal” with the FA over punishing our players over “the handbags at 20 paces” incident at Old Trafford in September. Looks like this has backfired on him now as the FA wants him to explain his remarks to them. I hope that the FA throw the book at him by not only fining him heavily but also giving him a lengthy touchline ban like the one his forgetful central defender (Rio) will receive for forgetting to take that drug test!!!

Gerrard Throws in the Towel

I thought that this was interesting. Pay particular attention to which club he mentions at the end of the article!

Title Looks Beyond Us: Gerrard

Steven Gerrard has admitted that Liverpool are unlikely to win the Premiership title. (AS IT WOULD REQUIRE ACTUALLY SCORING EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE)

“Yuck, these grapes are sour!” – Manu Petit

March 27, 2003 | 2 Comments

Here are some choice words from a guy who has won exactly jack-squat at club level since leaving…oh that’s right, since leaving us…

Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has aimed a shot at his former club by branding Arsenal’s FA Cup replay win “lucky”.

The Gunners ran out 3-1 winners from Tuesday’s quarter-final replay at Stamford Bridge after absorbing heavy Chelsea pressure and hitting their London rivals on the break.

Sir Alex Gives Becks The Boot

February 17, 2003 | Leave a Comment

Apparently Sir Alex wasn’t happy with the result on Saturday:

Manchester United have refused to deny reports that David Beckham was left needing stitches in a head wound after being accidentally struck by a boot kicked by an allegedly apoplectic Sir Alex Ferguson.

According to today’s Sun, Beckham sustained the injury as Ferguson – famously feared for his hair-trigger temperament – blew his top following Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup defeat by Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Here’s the full story from The Sun:
