A weekend without the premiership

When it is around we take it for granted. This weekend was completely devoid of the premiership, what with the internationals taking centre stage. And oh my did you see the England spine suddenly come to life against the Argies. That partnership of Owen and Rooney is beginning to look scary I say and I dare say England have a big chance to take it this time. Why did Brazil play UAE this weekend I ask. The money? I mean in all fairness who in world football are the UAE. They really did themselves a disservice when they could have chosen from a whole catalogue of choiciest sides in football as part of their preparation for the real thing. 1-0 at half-time and 8-0 at the end. Do you even break a sweat for that sort of thing? So what did i do with my weekend. Well I caught up on my movie watching on The Classic Movie Channel, treating myself to stellar performances from the likes of Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogar t. Now that is entertainment. You watch a lot of today's stuff, the act...

Like I called it

Man United is a team that revels in breaking long runs. They did it against Arsenal and they have done it against Chelsea. I believe Roy Keane said those things and I believe he had Fergie's blessing to wake them lads up and remember what team they were playing for. Van Persie is a player who potentially a phenomenon. He has four dimensions to football. Last year I said he would be better than Arjen Robben and noone believed me and today i say again he will be one of the best in a while.

Of a Frenchman And a Portugeezer in England

So the Frenchie says to the Pourtugeezer that his lot is gonna have it. The Pourtugeezer tells the frenchie that he thinks the Frenchie is a Vouyer. The frenchie doesnt like it and calls the Portugeezer stupid and detached from reality and disrespectful. Sounds like a playing ground incident but this is what in very simplistic terms what happened between Arsene and Jose. Jose needs to grow up and Arsene, well he just done him in like a naughty school boy hasnt he? Maybe there is something going on at the Chavs because suddenly they are drawing and losing as well. Way-to-go Betis. Arsene did bring up one very good point, this business of some foreigner taking over a club and then changing the team into a continental lot which the locale cannot identify with in terms of values and connection of the club to the community. I just think that the locals should own the club since the reality is that they are there for the community and not for some profiteering bl0ke. The bubble will burst so...
