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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
