Keepy Ups

Over the past 3 years or so, I've amassed a huge collection of football blog links in my google reader. I mean, I spend 2-3 hours a day scrolling through football blogs, which could be why I never get around to writing my own.

FootieGeeza (my now ex) even said this to me the other day:

it's ridiculous how often i click on random links on soccer or philadelphia things and there's a comment from [you] prominently displayed

It's just how I roll.

Anyway, I was messing around on the internets and I found a great (new to me) blog Football and Music First off, it has a picture of my lust object, Phil Brown (as mentioned in TheFiver), in the Masthead. Secondly, it combines two of my passions.

It's irreverent and just all around hilarious. As of today, on the front page are links to songs by Kevin Keegan (from Kevin Keegan SINGS my fave album cover ever almost) and Terry Venables.

Here's a preview of what you're in store for:



How can you not love that shit? This blog is for teh lulz.

There's a fantastically lollerific piece from Who Ate All the Pies on the 20 cities for Premiership Matches. A Definite must read.

A few examples of the ones that made us chuckle.

Manchester United - Calais
Closer than Old Trafford for most United fans.
Sunderland - Dublin
Everything else about the club is Irish, including the chairman and manger, so the home ground might as well be.
Wigan - Las Vegas
Titus Bramble's Travelling Slapstick Show would be the hottest ticket in town.

Oasis is on VH1 Classic Right now. I have no time for Oasis--as musicians or people. But I do have time for them as football fans. This reminds me of a post that I posted in my regular blog which I'll repeat here.

Another post combining two of my favorite things… well three
Those being:
1) Footie
2) Music (Specifically New Order and Joy Division)
3) Causing trouble.

I was sent this email today from 1999 in which world renouned cnut Noel Gallagher caused some trouble at an awards ceremony.

LOADED?

I was fortunate to be at the Loaded Awards on Monday. Star attraction was Mr Noel Gallagher who picked up three awards. He dedicated the first to famed producer and City fan Rob Gretton who passed away last week. Later when Johnny Vaughan was reading out the footballer of the century, Noel shouted out “Andy Morrison!” before it was announced it was in fact George Best. Noel then proceeded to shout “Red Scum” as Best got his award, but he did take part in the standing ovation. There were also a few shouts of “Come on Wigan!” directed at Noel from the Charlatans’ table.

IRL Trolling by famous people is great! ;)

Only I would start a blog late on a Friday afternoon when I am unshowered and the pub beckons. So here's a "hit and run" post about my pub fantasy league team and my premiership predictions for this weekend.

Please do not be jealous of my fantasy team. Now, this isn't a terribly complicated team. This is one of those things where you only get points for clean sheets, assists, and goals...so it's a lot different strategy than what you would pick for say Yahoo! or Premierleague.com, both of which I am kicking ass at btw--this one is for bragging rights down the pub tho.. so you know, I care more about it.

My predictions:
Liv'pool 2 v Everton 1
A Villa 1 v West Ham 0
Blackb'n 1 v Sheff U 0
Charlton 0 v Chelsea 3
Fulham 0 v N'castle 0
Man City 1 v Reading 1
Watford 0 v Bolton 2
Wigan 1 v Portsm'h 2
M'brough 1 v Arsenal 2
Tot'ham 1 v Man Utd 3


I will write about Joey Barton, Fat Frank, and the Sicilian Derby that I watched today when I get back--or tomorrow while watching Liverpool or something.
