Some footie related humor

An Everton supporter is walking through the streets of Liverpool when he sees a sale on at a video shop.

When he stops to look he sees a video called "Everton : The Glory Years". The guy enters the shop and asks how much the video costs.

The shop owner replies, "$300".

The Everton supporter exclaims "What! Im not paying $300 just for a video!"

The shop owner says "No, don't be silly, the video is $5 - the Beta-Max video player is $295!"

Predictions

Since Who Ate All The Pies, the best football blog on the fucking planet, is giving a prize for predictions this weekend, I thought I'd give it a go.

Everton v Fulham 1-0


Man City v Charlton 1-0


Arsenal v West Ham, 2-1


Blackburn v Aston Villa 2-1


Chelsea v Tottenham 1-0


Middlesbro' v Watford 2-0


Portsmouth v Man Utd 1-3


Reading v Liverpool 0-2


Sheff Utd v Newcastle 1-1


Wigan v Bolton 0-1



I have to eat pies today so I will not get to see the mighty man city's match until later (someone promised to get it taped for me) so no spoilers!!!!

In which our Footie Bird admits a horrible secret

Can I be more thrilled that Liverpool are the only club even relatively safe for advancing in the Champions League?? hah I'd be more thrilled if it were the Mighty City that's for sure..but omg. I have a soft spot for Liverpool. It could be because the Footie Geeza is a supporter. It could be because I dream of a very dirty midfield threesome between Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, and myself. It's likely because Liverpool supporters hate Manchester United as much as I do--and not because they are neutral ABUs, though the second reason does weigh heavily. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to watch any of the matches this week because of work commitments.

Only two of the matches will be that interesting next week. I think that Milan and Roma might have the hardest trek ahead of them of all the teams (not including PSV lol 3 away goals). Both for the same reason: They are going into really tough stadiums to score against, and they must score and win. Even without the Ginja Ninja(the man to bring Oldham Athletic back to the Premiership), United are going to score at least once at OT, and it's going to be very difficult for Roma to score at all. If Roma can hold United to 1 goal and score they'd advance which gives them an easier time (slightly) than AC Milan

Basically, Milan have to win. A 1-1 draw does them no good (it'd give Bayren winning on AG) and it's going to be really fucking hard for them to score 2 goals in Munich. Also the fact that this is going to be a super high scoring match with Milan on the bitch end, isn't going to help either.

Valencia are going to advance--Chelsea are not going to get the quadrupile (haha), the treble (lollll), or anything else. (Up the Rovers for the FA Cup)

Predictions:

Man United 2 - 1 Roma
Bayren Munich 3 - 1 AC Milan
Chelsea 0 - 1 Valencia
LFC Reserves 15 - 0 PSV (sorry I mean 1-0 Liverpool will sleep)

Norway football predictions

One fateful weekend last year the Footie Geeza and I went to the pub to watch City play Sunderland. That day we met three crazy Norwegians. Norwegians are as insane irl as they are online. It's great fun. Anyway, since that day, we've both been following IK Start from Kristanstaad, who we were assured by our new Norveeegian friends are the best team in all of Europe.

The upcoming Norwegian league starts this Monday and they play a 26 game season. All of Scandinavia has a fucked up schedule because of all the fucking ice and blonde ladies. That's why the Patron Saint of Glasgow was able to play for Manchester United before returning to Sweden (will have to post funny Favorite Swede story later today).

Anyway, the Geeza wanted me to make some predictions on the norveeegian league. Last year, Hamar Kam and Molde FK were relegated to the second division, and Stromsgodset and Aalesund were promoted to the top flight. Onto the predictions...

1) Rosenborg
2) Lillestrom
3) Brann Bergen
4) Valerengen
5) Viking Stavanger
6) IK Start
7) Stabaek
8) Lyn SFK
9) Stromsgodset
10) Tromso
11) Fredrikstad
12) Odd Grenland
13) Sandefjord
14) Aalesund
