Got To Be Starting Something

*Apologies for this coming out so late, Livejournal failed to cooperate -- not to worry though...same nonsense as usual*


Next Year, Al Fayed will begin gradually bleaching the statue and conduction facial reconstruction.

Dear Neutrals, You are welcome.

That is all.

I’m sure some of you are hoping I would end it there. Hehe.

 
But genuinely, anyone without a vested interested in the points won and lost here certainly were given a proper match of football. It was end to end with fantastic shots and even more fantastic saves ( We’ve got Petr Cech... etc... and so on... ). And the battle of the captains was epic and respectful. When Shawcross went in hard on Terry (obviously not too hard...he’s not mental), Terry got up and shook his hand in a job well done. This was proper football between proper men. Both teams offered respect for the other and the game itself. Hard shots, hard tackles, no seat warmers and fuzzy blankets. Football as it was meant to be. My Stoke mate remarked, it was not a game you would have seen at the Emirates. Can’t really question that logic.

 Man of the match easily was Petr Cech, or maybe the cross bars. I’m pretty sure the one above Begovic is still ratttling from Drogba’s attempt. Either way, Cech showed why he’s again in contention for the Golden Gloves, and maybe now people will not focus on his game and not his injury. And by popular request, and at worry for another telling off, I will have to concede that the game changed when Ramires came off...and not for the better. That’s all you’re getting. I’m still not completely sold and an over reliance on any player is dangerous. Essien’s long term injury has very obviously affected his game. That’s as much criticism of him as I’ve got. But he definitely deserves the same opportunities that were afforded to Ramires was given so early on as the Bison has beyond proven himself to be a man of epic proportions.

 Unfortunately, with some other results being even less favourable than this draw, we’ve not only lost ground at the top, but have dropped back to fourth (but with a game in hand over Manchester 2.0).

 On to another little match with other Manchester. This is the first of three games we play against the former England captain’s club. We will be entertaining their masses of supporters who are travelling all the way from Guildford to Stamford Bridge this week at 7.45pm BST this Wednesday. (2.45pm for those on the wrong side of the pond). Will the EoD be clever and not start Bosingwa again? It would be nice to see a semblance of defence at right back. But with David Luiz unable to play and Alex possibly not quite match fit, we could see big Branislav partnering Terry. And probably the bigger question for you (and most definitely for the wind up merchants) – who will be up front? Out of all the strikers we’ve got, the one I’d definitely start is Le Sulk. Not because of his butterfly (although I really do love that), but he’s been amazing in Europe since the season began. And despite a bit of a goal drought at home, he still sparkles in this competition. His most fruitful partner is of course the man who finally scored and nearly broke the cross bar with a shot – Didi.

Weekend Roundup

Real Madrid v Sporting Gijon – I think there may have been some type of tear in the space time continuum. The impossible became possible on Saturday, as God The Special One suffered his first home defeat in an incredible NINE years. I could probably write a dissertation on his greatness, but I'll stop here. It's been 151 games and four clubs without a loss for Chelsea’s most successful manager. A moment should be taken by everyone to mourn the end of this. I blame Ronaldo. It doesn’t matter that he wasn’t playing and was busy tending to his hang nail. No good ever comes of his presence. ;)

MCFC v SAFC – Dear Citeh fans. If you’d like people to stop talking about your stadium being empty, stop complaining about it, and you know, go to the bloody matches. Tickets for the last FA cup match were £5 for kids, and £15 for adults.

WHUFC v MUFC – Another Rooneygate you say? Surely it can’t be. We’ve only just had the flying elbow attack go unpunished yet here we are again. In the biggest controversy of the weekend (aside from the Beckford goal / no goal of course), Rooney said a naughty to the camera. Now, personally, I found Saint Stevie snogging the camera far more offensive. (I pity Alex at times). And we all know that Monsignor Rooney’s grasp of the English language is limited at best. However, the issue for me really is in precedents set. Do I care that I heard a naughty on network television in the middle of the day? F*ck No. Do I care that he seemed to take personal issue with the cameraman and thought he should blow off some steam out of his mouth after being utterly pathetic over the first 45 minutes? I really f*cking don’t. My issue is the precedent that has been set. When someone goes to a nearby camera and delivers their potty mouthed message, apparently it warrants a 3 match ban. I don’t agree with it, but that is meant to be the fine. I still think Drogba’s outburst was amazing because it was both passionate and hilarious. But after Rooney dodged the ban for the elbow, maybe the FA should get some f*cking cajones, man up and do something about it or it will be an epic f*cking disgrace. F*ck.

BREAKING NEWS: The FA have banned Rooney for 2 matches, proving that saying a swear is in fact worse than: elbowing someone in the face, swearing and insulting all your supporters, shagging grannies, balding at the age of 16, and impersonating a loveable Scottish ogre. Cue the inevitable appeal and whinging from Guildford Manchester.

 

AFC v BRFC – What happened? Seriously? We can’t even discuss the hilarity that is Almunia.

FFC v BFC – Did anyone actually realise there was a football match going on? I’m thinking with the atrocity that is now outside Craven Cottage, I’m going to go out on a limb here and just say no. Rumour has it that Al Fayed had wanted a more lifelike representation of the dead pedophile pop star and considered offering the position to Nani. But with concerns of flooding via Nani’s tearducts, it would just have been to costly a venture. Nani, are you OK? Are you OK? Are you OK? Nani. So instead, he has opted for a 7’ monstrosity and told the loyal Cottagers that if they don’t like it they can go to heaven Chelsea or hell. I’m not really sure how I feel about Chelsea getting implicated in all this. Sullivan and Gold are said to like the idea so much that they plan to add Jackson’s counterpart to their ground, Jackson’s bessie, the chimp, Wayne Rooney....I mean Bubbles.

Roll on Wednesday
