Fourth from last

and better than Jon C.

Thank you Stevie G.

That is all.

Apparently this team sheet was recovered from the Liverpool team bus after returning back to Merseyside late last night. I think this is also how CT selects her team...

Caro's Breasts

The votes are in. The polling finished as follows:

Without labeling each column its still pretty obvious that most of you are obsessed with Caro having extraordinarily large breasts. It's sick that you would think about my wife in that way; though at the same time Dr. Simard may wish to consider how easily she can make her friends and family happy. She's always wanted a dog - how about a pair of puppies?

Good god I am a twisted bastard. With a beatiful wife.

Conspiracy theory

So, I'm curious. Is D-Rat making money off us?? I thought that ads on a blog generate revenue for the blog owner...

(or perhaps it's the site meter host's fault?)

I'll tell you where we start

WENGER OUT!!!!!

What a twat. We lost to WBA and then he says that Arsenal will "show everybody" by winning the Champions League. Is he living in the clouds? His reasoning is straightforward: Liverpool were shite last year, ended up 25 points off the lead, but won the CL. So, by his astute reasonining, if Arsenal are 25 points off the lead (by Xmas for sure) then the CL is as good as ours. Teams will be dropping out of the competition because they will know that our team of 14-year-olds will crush them.

Arrrrrrrrrrrgghh. What a bloody idiot. I'm ready for him to leave and manage France. Or a French bistro. Jon, your cheque is in the mail.

And also....

clarification of the offside rule

Bring It On!!

Thanks to the Chairman for putting the links back up.
Now that I've recovered from my flu (and yes, I have to mention it since I'm not getting enough sympathy at home...), and I've been able to implement part 2 of my oh so cunning transfer plan, I say bring on the weekend. With any luck I'll continue my rise to 4th to last. Imagine that?!?

No suprise really!

I just found this picture of Marc "Spursman" Trainis' kid on-line. Looks as if Trainis is wasting no time in teaching him how to act like a Tottenham Fan. Poor child has no chance at a normal life.

What happened to the links??

Although I am slowly getting used to the new look of the blog - Rat Boy is to be commended - I have realised a fatal flaw. HOW WILL I GET TO THE FANTASY SITE IF THERE IS NO LINK FROM THE BLOG? It turns out that although my small brain is able to remember this URL I have no idea where the fantasy site is. Is it all just a plot to prevent my team from perhaps even rising to 4th to last by preventing the completion of my fabulous series of transfers?

Who would be a Cameroon Supporter?

Real quotes:

"I know the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon shall win because I saw it in my dream that we were victorious by 3 goals to zero in favour of the Lions. My dreams have never failed me and this would not be an exception.But if we fail to qualify, I will develop heart problem."

and "The Indomitable Lions are indomitable. You just saw me buying a ticket to go and support them. I have my t-shirt also. You think I'm doing all of these for Cameroon to lose? Even if we have to use witchcraft, we will win."

Unfortunately, the score was 1-1 (against Egypt). Oopsy. This means that Kolo, Manu, and that twat Drogba get to go to the World Cup.

Current total of Arsenal players who will be at the finals (assuming no injuries) = 8. Anyone out there beat that?

More random news for your enjoyment...

Since apparently I have little to say about football (other than Baros), I thought I would continue my current role as purveyor of random yet somewhat amusing news stories.

Without further ado.

Apparently people in Florida have been releasing their pet pythons into the Everglades when the snakes get too big/smelly/dangerous to keep around. Apparently they flourish in the Everglades and grow very large. Large enough to successfully attack alligators (who presumably aren't used to being prey rather than predator). Unfortunately, the pythons are not quite big enough to actually digest the gator.

Consequently:





From here:
Battle of the giants

Dirty Harry.

Rafael Benitez reckons that having Kewell fit again is "like signing a new player". It's actually like signing a new overpaid, girl-haircutted, injury-prone layabout; is this a good thing? Will he ever be good again? Didn't he used to be?

Confidence or bravado?

According to the results of D-RAT's new mini-poll, Spurs fans are surprisingly confident that their 11 man midfield will see them to premiership near-glory this season. But are they prepared to put money on it?

Meanwhile, how about an Evil-New-Empire sweepstake: When will Chelsea drop their first points of the season? For their schedule, see:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/fixtures/default.stm
D-RAT has already suggested to me that they might win every game (yes, every single one), but I don't know if he's prepared to make that claim public. (Too late, of course.)

My bold prediction is that it'll happen next time out, against Bolton. Jaaskelainan is the world's best keeper, not to mention the keeper for the MoI, so I'm holding out for a 0-0 bore draw.

An Englishman Abroad

My favourite quote of the (still young) month...

"I had a good time in Madrid, both on and off the pitch but I missed the UK weather, I missed the food, the Premiership and being around English people." Michael Owen.

I'm sure he'll find a soulmate on Tyneside in Lee Bowyer who will no doubt agree with much of Michael's pro-European sentiment.

Still, not as insightful as Ian Rush who, describing his unsuccessful sojourn to Juventus, remarked that Italy "is like a foreign country". Bless.

Fueling further speculation concerning my burgeoning obsession with Baros

Has anyone noticed that since I added Baros to my team I have well and truly left the bottom of the league behind on the back of my meteoric rise to second-to-last?

Anyone?

Anyone?
