Village Idiot

Shit boring game.

Silly facebook game I have become sort of addicted to: http://apps.facebook.com/fifasuperstars/ What makes it for me is that it has player licenses so you can collect real players from all over the world for your team (only able to buy shit so far, though).

David Gold quoted in our press saying that West Ham have abandoned the Henry signing because "looks like Barcelona have offered him a new contract". Why on hell would we do that?

English World Cup commentary, always finding the most obtuse ways to bring out 1966

That Mexico keeper looks really dodgy. Maybe he hasn't made many mistakes but his body language every time the ball gets near him is like a deer caught in the headlights.

I just checked out this FilmOn thing. Is it reliable? It isn't terribly expensive to subscribe to and I would love to catch on British shows.

As I suspected after watching their game against you, Mexico will flatter to deceive this year.

Well, that was some class from Vela.

New York Times poll: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/06/09/sports/soccer/20100609-worldcup-interactive.html?hp 63% think yanks will win or draw against England. Some of the comments just to wind you up

I'm pretty fine with them blowing them non-stop in SA games, it's their way of supporting football teams and it isn't much more annoying than the bloody Great Escape song or the guy with the drum for Spain (he's just one guy though). But it's a very different matter them things getting blown in games where they don't support anybody and just annoy the travelling fans there.

Can somebody tell me what's so special about the vuvuzelas? These horns were popular in Spain in the 1980s-early 90s and already annoyed the hell out of me at the stadia back then. http://www.spitorswallow.co.za/blowme.php 15 seconds for me.

Time for a "Fergie Watch: Parky 1 v Alex Ferg 0- The Decline of Manchester United" thread Actually funny you should say that I'm looking for my next victim.... You should do a Hughton watch so he can stay 3 years in charge too.

Three games every day, man. Best thing is that in the USA the latest game ends at 4pm which still leaves you the entire afternoon/evening to do stuff

Victory.

#10 Idiotinho Need to find a way to avatarise that.

Mascherano is better than any other non-Argentinian DM in that list though. Mascherano-Cambiasso-Sneijder would be a fearsome midfield and very in line to what Benítez likes in the center of the park. Shades of Albelda-Baraja-Aimar really.

They are getting good value this season I think, instead of all the stupidly high fees they have been paying these years (and which got them in the hole they are now).

Soldado has been unveiled by Valencia today. Hope he does well there, he's been steadily improving as a player these last three seasons since he left Madrid and I think he can be a very good striker. Plus he's a Valencia lad which is always nice for them. He should have been in South Africa instead of Mata, in my opinion.

I have seen Silva to *insert random big club* DONE DEAL too many times this transfer window. I honestly can't picture him going to Italy.

Liverpool owners, they fire their manager who walks into the European champions, and who knows who will they get now

One day I'll list the nicknames for all the Chilean footballers. They're just great. Too late now.

We (Catalans) have a donkey...

Cronaldo and Robben in the same team. They would have needed 3 balls. Never been much of a believer in that they did wrong by selling Robben (he's much improved at Bayern, he never was much effective for Madrid), but they did need a real left winger. Sneijder was a whole different thing, though.

Reckon nothing will come out of it but... http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2010/06/09/1966327/inter-risk-scudetto-coppa-italia-revocation-as-figc-investigates- Apparently since Genoa's owner was banned by serie A he could not have negotiated the Motta and Milito sales. Would be very silly if Inter could lose titles to a technicality.
