Quick Note

To let you know I'm alive (I started a new job been busy) and to say THIS is unadulterated bullshit.

If Dida were English or played for an English side Uefa would have decapitated him already and paraded his head around Europe.

It's crap.

Manchester City v Man Utd, Nov 6th 1971

I love that even though City were a much better team in the late 60's early 70's than Manchester United



they were still trailing most of the match and are happy with a draw at home.

This guy jungneil on youtube has a TON of classic city stuff. That the premierleague doesn't have the rights to lladdy laddy laaaa (but the FA does so who knows if they'll order it down)

I'm a weak woman

Remember when I complained about City's ugly shirt?

Well, in a moment of weakness I bought it on ebay.


Stephen Ireland needs to chuck his girlfriend for an adult.

a couple lulz from yesterday

Second half, Emile Heskey is in the box by himself with a great chance to set up something fantastic. Sends the ball via a cheeky back heal to--a russian defender. English kid two stools down from me "Aww bless. He does try though"

Second half again, some mystery black guy scores for England making it three - nil. Everyone including myself and the aforementioned English kid get up and cheer. Camera zooms in on mystery black guy's face.
English kid and me: "OH FUCK". Then we look at each other and give high fives.
The goal scorer? Rio fucking Ferdinand.
English kid: "Well at least we'll get another series of Rio's world cup wind ups"

Ireland lost and there was some WELL DODGY sending off. Noirn lost on an own goal. SCOTLAND BEAT THE CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEYS Norway drew. My 2nd favorite Norwegian scored the equalising goal (well early in the 1st half mind) of his rocket of a left foot.

Speaking of BBC

Why do columns in the UK correct Footballers' grammar in direct quotes? It's not a direct quote if you're correcting grammar or diction. I've seen interviews on Skysports and read totally different interpretations of them on bbc's website or in the papers--using direct quotes. It's as if we're supposed to believe that footballers aren't stupid and always use proper diction and grammar.

It's something that annoys me about UK press. It doesn't happen in the US, which makes for HILARITY when reading quotes from professional athletes.

Micah Richards has a bbc column

The Manchester City FC America Supporters club branch has been officially accepted by the MCFC OSC

It's really due to the hard work of Matthew Semisch. It's an idea I came up with and approached him about, and then I got too busy at work to do anything about it.

If you're interested in joining please email: mcfcamerica@gmail.com for the time being as our website is not quite launched yet.. at least as far as keeping membership goes :P

fuck off fat frank

SVEN CAN MAKE `BIG IMPACT` - LAMPARD



Frank Lampard believes Sven-Goran Eriksson will be under pressure to succeed at Manchester City but backed him to make a "big impact".


FootieBird believes Fat-Frank Lampard will be under pressure to succeed with England but backed him to do "sweet fuck all".

Please, what does it matter what Frank Lampard thinks?

blah

DeMarcus Beasley signed for Rangers.

Jesus Christ Man City were fucking retarded to let him go.

it's always better to laugh at other's misfortunes than to take a hard look at your life

from a post in my "real" blog

I’ve actually allowed myself to be trolled by a Sheffield Wednesday supporter, with the comment “Can we take a tour of the trophy room (Man City’s)? It won’t take long”, and counted down the list of top honors between the two clubs, since 1900. (Only top honors, because we all know that Manchester City have won the most Championship (nee Second Division) championships of any club–still beating Sunderland those mackem cnuts! )

Needless to say this was a pathetic exercise as well as an exercise in humility. I had no idea Sheff. Wed. won the league so many times. Mind you, they’ve not done it since 1930s but whatever.

WELL AT LEAST AN EASTLANDS’ STADIUM TOUR DOESN’T INVOLVE RENTING SCUBA GEAR


I forgot to add that Brian Laws is cooler than Sven-Göran Eriksson on so many levels.
(this is the first post (I think) in which I mentioned SVG with regards to the Mighty City)

Something dropped behind a cabinent today and I moved the cabinent and lo and behold: Professor Neville is back in his rightful spot in time for the Euro Qualifier this afternoon.

See the updated picture to the right. There is a lot more shit on my cabinent there than what used to be.

"Liverpool Fans are the Worst in Europe"

"Liverpool Fans are the Worst in Europe"

UEFA President Michel Platini stated, "As was reported in the fine English newspaper The Sun, [Liverpool supporters] pee on cops and they loot the dead. We do not need these sort of hooligans at our matches!"

fucking scousers

in light of the fact that my heritage is 50% of the italian descent FootieGeeza (who did not blog while I was sick btw) is disowning me.

21 May 2007

ugh

Your hostess is as sick as a dog. I'm turning over to FootieGeeza for a couple of days as I'm sure he has loads to say about Norway and Liverpool playing in some minority interest cup match on Wednesday.

Seriously, R.I.P. me, plz send mint aero bars from Engerland ASAP.


Oh he (FootieGeeza) just told me that I should write about how I met a IK Start supporter while paying wayyy too much money to go out (25 bucks, but at least I got a full brekkie out of it at no extra charge) and watch the most boring FA CUP final in history. The Start supporter was funny--he was amazed that someone here knew his team let alone followed it. That's about it not much to tell. Except that I should supposedly go to Oslo in October for the Norveeegian Cup final.
