Amos Lee

I found Amos Lee on "Austin City Limits" while chillin' on the couch last week. He's got this killer song called "Working on a Night Train" which I don't see on any of his few proper recordings. This is the shit, so go have a look! What are you waiting for!

Ho, Ho, Ho!

The Jolly Red Giant fancies to hit the back of the net not once, not twice, nay...thrice! Call the bookies!

Wasn't There a Crap Movie Called "Little Buddha"?

It also starred crap actor Keaneu Reeves, I think. You decide.

Transfer Rumor Mill

It seems Liverpool are getting ever closer to our first winter transfer. Rafa, get that check book out and don't sell Cisse just yet. Get rid of the Jolly Red Giant first you overrating bastard!

The Best

Indeed, he was. Bon nuit El Beatle!

Been a While

I'm baaaacccckkkk! Comin' atcha!

Barcelona

I see whilst perusing the 72dpi pages of "The Guardian" in the rumour mill section that Barcelona are perhaps looking at obtaining the ever valuable services of Andriy Shevchenko.
Although this is the English press it is the first I've heard of this sort of transfer.

This is Shocking

Where did this come from!? And I hate Man. United so you know this is big news!

Do You Like South Park?

Go here and make a South Park character of yourself.

Chili Palmer???

I never new he was a footie fan.

New Media

Today is the launch of a new "open source" media. I think this is going to be a good thing.

Dickhead Headline Stealer

I am so damn glad we got rid of this useless bastard. I'm suprised Big Sam Allardyce puts up with his bullshit. We should start taking bets on when he's going to get the sack.

I'm Thinking the Same Thing

I believe Thierry Henry is going to leave Arsenal very soon. Arsene Wenger is spending too much time these days peering over the Stamford Bridge training ground fences. Henry is only 28 and I'm positive there are plenty of handsome suitors just waiting to pounce at the opportunity. Barcelona probably being top of the pack. They already have the second best team in Spain, next to Osasuna of course. If they swoop for Robben and Henry. Whoa! Look out Liverpool!

Transfer Rumor Mill

Liverpool seem to be setting up a second attempt at Brazillian defender Edu Dracena.

Attacking Down the Wing

It seems President Bush is poking and prodding at the defense since Friday. No doubt looking for a goal. Now the White House is fact checking the New York Times...I love it!
P.S. I had this written around noon this morning but, I knew my friends wouldn't want to read it and they would just give me shit.

The Horsemen Are Drawing Nearer

I'm a firm believer that television these days is fucking rubbish. Shit writing, shit stories, shit actors, Jesus I could go on-and-on-and-on-and-on. There are very, very few exeptions (in my not so hmble opinion) starting with "The Family Guy", "American Dad", "Arrested Development", and (here comes the zinger...) "Boston Legal". I have to say I also enjoy "House M.D." but, I do acknowledge the last two are a bit corny (that could be their brilliance though)...I enjoy their (Dr. House...as well as the Shatner & Spader link-up) crassness.
Oh LORD! This IS the Apocalypse. I have the feeling now that I actually enjoy a handfull of television shows is a sign of the "Fourth Horseman!" Ugh, grab yer socks!
Update: Heh it seems Fox has distanced itself from "The Family Guy" as it is not affilitated with the "Fox" website. Heh, heh, heh! FCC bollocks no doubt.

Wow!

Did I say WOW!???
I could have put this title for the previous post first. Then, I wouldn't have had a one word title for this one! Right? Right! Good? Good! Brilliant? Brilliant!

Brilliant!

Ronaldinho

Classic No Pasarán

Where does one start editing. One starts from the top of course!

Transfer Rumor Mill

Liverpool alerted to Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov.

More on the Robben Scenario

Is he unsettled? Is he just injured?
Update: Barcelona now seem keen on the pacey winger too. Rijkaard as the gaffer in the tansfer talks couldn't hurt either. On the other hand Tottenham Hotspur have the highly regarded Martin Jol. Camp Nou have had quite a special relationship with the Dutch Eridivisie for going on a decade now. Early days at Barca showed Franck and Ronald DeBoer, Michael Reiziger, Phillip Cocu, Boudewijn Zenden, and Patrick Kluivert on the same squad as well as the Dutch side. That surpasses the Arsenal/France team of Viera, Pires, Henry, and Wiltord for National side players on one team. Upon further thought, Liverpool are holding four players from the Spain side: Jose Reina, Sanz Luis Garcia, Xabi Alonzo, and Fernando Morientes. I suppose we need to sign two more to take the title.

1966 Was the Best Year for English Football

Eric Cantona was born.

...'Emotionally for me winning at beach soccer
was just the same as winning for Manchester United,' he said.

...'You should know that I am not a sheep. Sometimes I do good things and sometimes not so good,' he said.
'But if you want to know, yes I have been sent off in beach soccer but I have also scored beautiful goals.'

How Many Times Have You Read...

an article that starts like this

ASTANA (Reuters) - Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry threatened legal action on Monday against comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who wins laughs by portraying the central Asian state as a country populated by drunks who enjoy cow-punching as a sport.

What Can I Say

The Greats...in Japanese!

Opportunist Knocks

Jesus, the news is full of bullshitters today. Here is another one. What does one expect within politics and sports? Pretty much the same thing I suppose although, footballers are usually dressed smarter and have fitter chicks.

New iPod Gizmo

Heh!

Dickhead

Just cover your ass, you have a shit team anyhow. What a cunt! Let's have a look. I see Michael Owen started 18 matches for Madrid and came in as a substitute for 16. Hmm, already he is a starter as well being able to come on as a sub and bag 13 goals in that time. Not to shabby Sacchi.

Cue Cards Please

Who would ever think Wayne Rooney could string so many sentences together in one sitting?

Mac & Cheese Update

It appears we may return to te dodgey yellowish orange kits! Hopefully it's just the white one's with that powdery stuff spottings. I can imagine Stevie Gerrard wiping his fingers off on his kit. I KNOW Darren Fletcher does!

Not Good

The burning across Europe seems to be spreading. Perhaps, the E.U. should adapt a version of the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?

George Weah Loses Presidential Bid. Riots Start.

What the hell is wrong with people these days? I just don't understand. First France going on over two weeks and now Liberia. Good lord!

I Wouldn't Mind Rafa Swooping In

Martin Jol hints at a swoop for Robben. That would be a horrible loss for Chelsea.

There's Only One Michael Owen

Michael Owen secured an Eng-er-land win with a late brace! The winner came from his nodder at the 92nd minute!

It's True!

Arsene Wenger is a voyeur!

Lord...This is a MATTER OF MUST (AS Footie Video Series)

I saw this and I had to post it! A soft spot as he used to play for Manchester United. It really is Fantabulous!
Full Disclosure:
I do have Becks playing as my winger in the Champions League Fantasy Football. I have to admit though, he's only netted me a grand total of 4 points. That's Rubbish I Tell you!

Just in case you want to go ice skating while in New York City, I have the goods right here:
Bryant Park: Brand new for your skating pleasure and you can't go wrong with the price or vacinity.
Rockafeller Center: A bit more expensive, but you'll meet tourists
Wollman Rink (Central Park): Huge and inexpensive.
Lasker Rink (Central Park): Only $4.50!
Wollman Rink (Prospect Park): Not open just yet but, once it is, it will only be $5!
Check em' out.

Pot Meet Kettle

I never thought I would agree with a wacko, like Le Pen, but I suppose there is a day for everything.

Diminished Subpoena Powers

I think this is probably a good thing.

Have You No Shame?

I, personally cannot believe this bullshit is even allowed in football these days. Boy, how times they do change. Bill Shankly is probably doing corkscrews upsidedown with his shoes securely fastened in his grave for Chrissakes! Can you believe all the ways people in the world like make "Mountains out of Molehills?" Why couldn't football still be as simple as it was in Shankly's day when he spoke to Ian St. John, "If you are not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we'll discuss your options afterwards." Easy, peasy, eh?

Mother Truckers!!!

I know he (Patrick Belton) was taking a chance. As one should while collecting an edgey story. I especially appreciate the candid, truthful and witty writing from him. I'm fully sure he didn't deserve to get robbed/mugged. Animals! Not to mention I've been reading Patrick for the past few days (I've been reading "Oxblog" for a few years, but I'm especially reading for the Paris commentary), things seemed pretty lucid. I suppose the old saying, "Do not judge a book by it's cover" really rings home sometime. Something has to be done. Anything. I'm just shocked that nobody has done a damn thing for two weeks. Not to mention De Villepin opts to play croquet when he should be playing Duncan Ferguson (yes, I know he plays for Everton, but if you hadn't noticed they are 4th from bottom at the moment...at least they have the opportunity to play next to a top team...not to mention EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!) style football. Stupid shit like this really pisses me off!

That crappy rag, Sports Illustrated, actually has something worth checking out besides their annual "Swimsuit Edition"

"...Indie Rubbish."

The ever shy Noel Gallagher chimes in on his favorite bands, again. Bye the way, while Noel is giving his opinion, I'll give mine...the new NME site blows! Although you can check out the new video for "Let There Be Love" from Oasis.

Mental

I'll just never understand some people. She must have been really fat! You know Norweigian girls. They are either hot or fat/ugly. Just like redheads.

More Attacks

There has been another terrorist attack. This time in Amman, Jordan.

AMMAN, Jordan - Suicide bombers attacked three hotels frequented by Westerners in the Jordanian capital Wednesday night, and at least 53 people were killed and more than 120 wounded in the near-simultaneous explosions, police and a top government official said.

Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher gave the casualty estimate during an interview with CNN, in which he also said a car packed with explosives had approached one of the hotels attacked in the heart of the capital. He said there was no claim of responsibility, but Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, was a "prime suspect."

Finally, after what seems a decade, a shoe maker (Adidas, would you really expect anyone else) actually makes a boot one would be proud to slip over their metatarsals. Check these babies out.

World Cup 2006 Sprinkled mit Gastfreundlichkeit...Ja, Ja, Schnell, Schnell

It seems the World Cup is already underway in Germany complete with the usual idiotic shenaningans. I wonder if Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke will partake in all the festivities and the proverbial "waxing of the asses?"

Starting Up

So, this is my first post on this blog. It came about whilst trying to comment on another brilliant page and decided to run with it...like Ryan Giggs making a mazey (sp?) trot along the wing (I still hate United. Like Ryan Giggs, hate United...just to be crystal clear.) I've also, been thinking about writing more anyhow. This should help out immensely (I'd imagine...unless I happen to be drunk, then I'll just have to watch my spelling and my personal comments on Chelsea and Manchester United!) I'm not too sure which direction this will lean; footie, politics, music, family, friends, booze, travel...yada, yada, yada. We will see. Don't be shy, leave a comment or shoot an email, just do something already!
