Robbie Fowler just signed back with Liverpool from Manchester City on a free transfer. Hopefully, he'll regain his eyes and head for the back of the net. At the moment, not even Cisse could score in a brothel. Let alone Morientes or Crouch. I'm still not convinced on Sinama-Pongolle though. I mean, don't get me wrong, his goals against Luton were spot on, but he just doesn't seem strong enough. I could be wrong though.
James Bond = Football
P.S. I'd have to say, those of us who know football, know this happens. It's like entertaining a head of state. As a matter of fact, he's probably treated better than the U.S. Head of States visiting U.A.E. I mean, he's not a political figure, just a sought after gaffer!
The Officer's Club with another, in my opinion, great/obvious post ( I stole the link from them too...sorry fellas, I just thought it should reach the soccer boys.) Steven Green, at Vodkapundit, has some thoughts as well.
The New York Times has just gone down the fucking plughole...yet again...within the last few years, no, sorry, weeks. I don't know how their fucked up editor-in-chief, Bill Keller (can you even call him that now?) or their, even more fucked up publisher, Arthur Sultzberger (we'll just call him, well, born lucky...as he doesn't even stand up to a "Publisher" title.) lasted this long. Get rid of them...NOW for Chrissake! Jesus fuckin' hell!
In the future, if the "Old Grey Lady" is going to try and maintain an image, as it should, and has earned before, maybe pre-1990, it should have started years ago. It's not too late though. As a matter of opinion, it is never too late to start somthing.
"Shame on you!" The most cosmopolitain city on the face of the earth with the most cosmopolitain readers and the most bias editors and publishers. It doesn't read well does it? The NY Times has the potential really can reach everybody. The problem is...who is buying? Less and less is the answer. Why? The answer is simple. Go rent a Bogart film. Watch how gentlemen work. Watch how they gather information. For chrissake just listen to your father's advice. Do everyone a favor and go watch some old "Film Noir" and check out the "Private Dicks." Now those guys are, what one would call "neutral." Watch some and learn from it. Use it. Use it for everybody, not your personal speakerbox. You can record your thoughts on your own computer these days, or just start your own blog. Nobody, would condemn you for that. Not to mention you would be read well throughout the internet. You would also be respected for voicing your personal opionions in one format, then editing another. People really do recognize the difference and will not judge you on that.
Think about it. Seriously. In the end, if not, no loss...really. Except for yourselves. "Irrelavance" is still spelled the same way, it depends upon who reads it now, doesn't it?
I know "somthing" has to be done. I'm just waiting to see who is going to do it. I imagine Israel will take care of the dirty work, previous knackered thoughts here, I am a bit suprised that nothing has happened yet, not too suprised though. More commentary at The Officer's Club.
I have to admit that I'm a big fan of prodigy talent. I've seen Michael Owen, Wayne Ronney, and scores of others, less then the previous two come through the ranks. I grew up with football as I know it; corner kicks, winger left-backs, and head balls. Therefore, when I read a very interesting article about American football on that bullshit ESPN site I get rather upset. I mean, most of these sport "superstars" are good at what they do and they do not need a fucking journalist bringing them down in any fashion. I mean most of them come from rather humble households as it is. I understand the article, but I think the journalist is way off base.
I can only speak of what I know of Football in UK. I know alot of the people on the national team come from the same upbringing as the author is talking about. I know that most are good at what they do and are not supremely educated. I also, know that most of them take care of their families like nobody else could ever imagine. In essence, they are good/team people. That, just from being on many, many different teams I understand. I'm not a fan of American Football at all, although, I did watch the Rose Bowl this year. "Fuck You John Walters!" you obviously live for the words, and not the sport. You do not drop a pot of gold that that little dodgey Irish leprecaun lead you to because learning about Benjamin Franklin will help you if you cannot play sport anymore. FUCK THAT! You are a fool if you think that. Children in England play football to play football. That, if you cannot get that through your skull, is what they are good at. Not everybody is able to be taught words, math, history. Again, FUCK THAT, fuck the american movie shit, fuck your school book teachings...do what you can. I think, if he thinks he should go pro, then fucking do it and do it now! If you truely do not understand that...get out of journalism because, in my eyes, especially sport journalism, should be about passion.
You will find out just how important when you click here. Heh, heh, heh!
When I think of the top, ummm, let's say five, American companies Companies that have a massive influence beyond our borders in the business world, fashion, or entertainment. They would be the following (could be, mmm, just maybe, probably in this order as well):
Satellite radio is the best thing! Wow, I can find anything, and I mean anything (not to mention bullshit commercial free!) My mother has one of those dodgey PT Cruisers that came with a Sirius radio if you bought the fucker. The best thing about the car besides the turning radius (resembles the turning radius of an older Jeep Cherokee Country by the way...if you know what that means, you'll know what I mean) is the satellite radio. I do know Howard Stern has left the fucked up airways of commercial radio. Which has just been a waste as far as I can remember. As a matter of fact, the only good radio stations growing up, in Detroit, were from Canada. So, yes, EVER, have been non-existent in my lifetime. Now, I only listen to internet radio...plug, plug, plug (Not that anyone is reading, but, oh yeah, you can get C-SPAN on Sirius too!)... My point being is that Howard Stern debuted today on Sirius and I bet is was a fine program.
It seems Marco Marchionni, of Parma at the moment, has caught Rafa's eye. Let's see what happens.
Stephen Gaghan, the director of "Syriana" wanders into Oman from U.A.E. by mistake. Jesus, that could've been a bad situation there.
