14 Million Pound Waste of Space

Amateur golfer, karaoke ethusiast, and world renowned diplomat, Craig Bellamy scored for Manchester City on his debut yesterday.



To me, this is the most hilarious thing ever. I wonder if he'll stay with City after we get relegated

Happy New Year!

Everyone who knows me knows that I love the FA Cup. I'm not going to go on about how sad it is big clubs field softer sides for Cup ties because it's been done ad nauseam. All of the stupid nonsense on the television about Giant Killing and "everyone turns up for the Cup" is the kind of shit I eat up and love about it.

I was watching Soccer Saturday (which I LOVE during the FA Cup), and Stelling's reaction to Hartlepool going 2-0 up over Stoke was classic. Forest's 3-0 thrashing of City, while personally upsetting, is exactly what makes the FA Cup fantastic to watch.

I am just glad there are more matches on television here now. You don't get many opportunities to watch Gillingham in the US.

Setanta Sports on Comcast

If you want Setanta Sports added to comcast this is how you do it:

How To Get Setanta Sports On Comcast Cable | EPL Talk

I just spoke with a source inside Comcast Cable who confirmed that their head office in Philadelphia has signed a contract with Setanta Sports so that local Comcast Cable companies have the green light to add the (station).

*snip*

To find the contact information for your local Comcast Cable provider, visit the Cable Provider Locator tool and enter your zip code. The locator tool also includes pre-written e-mails to send to your local provider.


So go and do that already.

anti - soccerball commercial that's been making the rounds



eh, it just seems silly to portray soccer fans as white ass geeks that 95% of them are, when these white ass geeks are the only ones with money to buy your shitty tv.

Also, Nascar is stupid and Payton Manning sucks.

Excuse me while I clean up my spat out water

My information is that Hackett told Mark Halsey to rescind the red card [of John Terry] and he would not do it. Now I understand that Halsey is being made to referee in the Second Division this weekend. I just don’t understand how this could have happened. If it had been a Manchester United player, Hackett would never have done this for us.” - Sir Alex Ferguson.


While we and Pedro Mendes know that is not true, this was a crazy tackle:



It kind of reminds me of this with it's use of Rugby in football

Cantona to Man United??

the Guardian has some odd rumour today about how Eric Cantona is looking to replace Fergie as manager of Man United

While I hated him as a player, he's one strange mutha fucka, and I really hope this is true. This would bring the lulz for years to come.

Manchester United Champions of Europe

I'll echo everyone around the footie blogosphere who say that Manchester United has been the best team in Europe this year and do deserve to win it.

I also thought though, being a City supporter, that I'd share this random thought I had while walking to work this morning.

Manchester United have won the European Cup as many times as Nottingham Forest

201st Post

Congratulations to Pompey and Cardiff City for doing what Man United, Arsenal and Chelsea couldn't do over the past couple of years, spare us from more than 90 minutes of boring ass football.


I'm not in the mood to write about Man City's bullshit right now, but at least we're in Europe next year.

Well, I suppose that's true. (Funny pictures)



This is from Matt S. who for some reason was watching this horrendous MLS bullshit. Never let it be said that Fox doesn't love America

More Liverpool LULZ from Ahead of the Game

HICKS WARNED TO STAY AWAY
Merseyside Police have advised the Liverpool co-owner to avoid tonight's Champions League semi-final first leg against Chelsea because of fears for his safety. "Advice was given to the club based on a standard ongoing risk assessment," a police spokeswoman said. "The safety of all those attending has been considered." The club still expect Hicks to attend. Well, he'd be mad to miss a European Cup tie at Anfield.

I like the Fiver so much more but Ahead of the Game aka The Fourer comes out first!

Hilarity from the Old Firm last night



David Weir and Gary Caldwell were both suspended for being children last night at the final whistle after Longnamed mutha fucka Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink scored in stoppage time to give Celtic a 2-1 victory over the Huns.

We're not as ridic as Liverpool but almost there!


City bewildered as Thaksin Shinawatra doubts Sven-Goran Eriksson | Manchester City - Times Online
Manchester City’s worst fears were confirmed yesterday when Thaksin Shinawatra, the Barclays Premier League club’s controversial owner, said that he is considering the possibility of sacking Sven-Göran Eriksson at the end of the season. Eriksson has done an impressive job since taking over as City manager last July, but despite strong denials from the club, there have been suspicions for some weeks that the Swede’s job is under threat.


Holy Jesus, what is it with Billionaire owners? City do not produce miraculous results. Did he really think he could undo 32 years of City being City with some fucking money. You can't buy well in January and Eriksson was appointed very late in the summer to do too much with the group. He is the fucking future of this club. I wasn't sure when he was first appointed, but he inherited a hodge podge team bought really well with limited time, and voila top half of the table. The best part is, he tries to get them to play flowing football, City are no longer masters of the Long Ball. (When they're not running scared that is, because they'll hoof that shit like Liverpool or Bolton if they get nervous--but they're a relatively NEW side). Wenger does it with Arsenal and he's got Moral Victory and no trophies. Why isn't that enough for Frank right now? Because seriously, die hard Man City fans are thrilled with Sven.
