Brasil 2 - Citeh 0

Bring me the Delorean
As modern technology finally makes it into Old Trafford Overlord Ferg calls up for his Delorean

Morning Treacles

I’d like to start by thank Signore Mancini for having no intent to do anything but try and take a point home from London Town. Granted he himself must have been exhausted from tossing suitcases at his star striker who lacks the ability to dress himself (http://www.twitvid.com/AHCJ1). Its nice that the spirit of Craig Bellamy still lives on at Citeh. But he may have overrated their newly acquired jinx factor and got punished for it.

The EoD surprisingly started Kalou up front with the Birthday Boy, but unsurprising was the performance he put in. He may not have got himself on the score sheet, but our little 21 caused all kinds of trouble for a formidable Citeh defence, and tracked back nicely whenever he had a chance. And although Frank may have had a shocker of a pass at one point he was definitely pivotal to the entire midfield and getting the play forward. But, and I’m pretty sure you all see this coming, our star man was the one with the gloriously curly locks. In honour, I think not only the team, but all our supporters to do our best to grow our hair out to match. How amazing would we all be?!? ;) Tight perms are back in, no?
Anyways, our feisty Brazilian got properly stuck in doing a great job at the back with England’s captain and netted his second goal since joining us at the end of January. And although he worked hard to even get the free kick which lead to the header and the goal was very good, just about nothing in life was a good as that man’s goal celebration. I can’t imagine enthusiasm being more contagious. To make him even more hilarious and loveable, for those of you who stuck around to see the MOTM presentation with Essien, his only clear statement was that he loved Chelsea and as soon as he got the bottle of champers booked it and left Ess on his own. Fantastic stuff.

And so I don’t get crucified by you lot for not addressing it, yes, one little Ramires had a moment where he seemed to find his Brazilian roots and scored the goal of the weekend. Even I was impressed. We’ll leave it at that.

That supermoon seems to have wreaked havoc all over the league. The general rundown:

  • THFC v WHUFC: Football’s fashion police in full effect. Now that the snood has been banned, they have taken to focusing on the colour of tape on the legs. Although the referee would have had a good look at Bale’s thighs, I mean who didn’t, before the game kicked off he decided about 10min in to send Bale to the side for a little PG strip tease. The tape on his legs was deemed of unacceptable hue and he was forced to the touchline to strip down to his teeny tiny pants. And for that Mike Dean, I sincerely thank you. Oh and Sp*rs dropped more points or something.
  • WBA v AFC: is it really news to share goalkeeping errors when it comes to Arsenal? Especially when that keeper is Almunia? Especially when he has Lehmann staring him down from bench? No I didn’t think so. Hey, remember that time when there was a public cry for Almunia to be England’s number one? Proof that the English drink far too much.
  • SAFC v LFC: gone are the days of hilarious beachball gate, in are the days of linesmen awarding penalties for fouls a good 4 yards outside the box. Also in are the days of homoerotic positioning in the box. Yes, you didn’t read that wrong. I know he’s rocking a glorious ponytail and all, but Carroll’s special manlove for Skertl (and Johnson as well, the silly tart) made me feel uncomfortable in my lady bits. Is this something we can continue to see? And is this what they mean by Carroll’s ‘special partnership’ with Suarez?
  • MUFC v BWFC: in their bid to become the most hypocritical and ironic group of men that ever were to be, Jonny Evans continued his impression of noted hero Nigel de Jong by moving away from flying kung fu kicks and onto breaking the leg of Stu Holden. Yes, the same man who was in fact de Jong’d has now received the Jonny Evans treatment to his knee and will now be out for 6 months. After the stamping up and down about Nani’s challenge (to which he missed a shocking....zero league matches and cried enough to solve desert crises all over Africa), they felt Evans challenge was fair. You know, as fair as the cheeky Scholes type tackles. And since he had an amazing view by being on the pitch, one hopes that Nani noted that Holden’s injury not only was far worse than the flesh wound he received, but the American lad did not shed a tear. And to further show the United lot what class is, publicly accepted Evans apology ...again, the opposite to the reaction of Nani et all when Carragher tried to apologise. It just goes on and on doesn’t it?
  • (Not Leg Breaking) News from Old Trafford: They have finally moved into the 1980s with their amazing rotary dial phone. Lady Ferguson was shown several times to be using this rotary gem to stay in contact with his coaching staff during the game. It will be a special day when they discover the interweb and get mobile phone service. They’ll have to start simple with those 12” models with the 4” antennas.
 JT will be leading Lamps and everyone’s favourite sniper against Wales this weekend for those of you watching qualifiers. Otherwise, it won’t be until next month until we see the lads in action again. <-- ok, that was overly dramatic. April 2nd we see an amazing away trip (jealous of you lot travelling) up to see Rory Delap take thrown in after throw in. Stamford the Lions: if you are reading this, feel free to steal that ‘special’ towel.
