Ian Wright is an Asshole --hit and run entry

Ex-footballer Ian Wright in race row with African traffic warden| News | This is London
Ian Wright, the former footballer and television presenter, has been accused of calling an African traffic warden a "monkey".

He is also alleged to have told the man to "**** off back to his own country" in a dispute over a parking ticket.

Wright denies all the warden's claims, which followed the row outside his home in St John's Wood, North London.

Ian Wright confronts the traffic warden

"He's a liar," he said.

"He called me a white man who lives in a white man's road.

"I said to him, 'I'm sure your parents are happy that you've come to England and been a traffic warden instead of a lawyer or something'."


Ian Wright is an asshole, I believe he would have called an African guy a Monkey. Simply because he is too stupid to come up with his own insult. That "white man in a white man's road" comment sounds so fucking made up. It sounds like something Wrighty said white footballers said to him in the 90s. I really do believe that Ian Wright would have done this. I have no respect for the man.

Also, BBC. Please learn to write. This article about the same incident is atrocious. I had to google to find another article to find out what was going on. BBC NEWS | UK | England | London | Ex-footballer denies 'race abuse'

Let's try this again! (fb post)

So it's November and I am going to try to NaBloPoMo this month. That's write a post every day in November in the hopes that it will start a habit and this blog will turn out to be something. I love football and talk about it 24/7 srsly, but I can never get my ass together enough to actually update this blog.

First off, the Scotsman wins for the headline to this article:

Scotsman.com News - Balls up at cup draw by top politician
THE draw for the semi-final of the CIS Insurance Cup has descended into farce after it emerged that one of Scotland's most senior politicians apparently messed it up.

Hearts were initially told they would be facing Dundee United after First Minister Alex Salmond performed the draw live on BBC television.

But within hours it emerged that his colleague, the Scottish Parliament's Presiding Officer Alex Fergusson, had matched up the wrong teams with the balls which Salmond pulled out.

Hearts were then told they would be playing Rangers instead.


Hearts just beat Celtic 2-0 yesterday and then get told they've got to plan fucking Rangers after thinking they've had a (relative) cakewalk. I'd be fucking PISSED OFF too. Rangers are on fire this year. How a member of Scottish Parliament can fuck up 4 balls numbered 1-4 is beyond me.

Actually, it's not beyond me but I thought I'd be nice to the Scots for my first post "back". Don't expect another kind word about Rangers tho.

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

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?

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)

"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!"
