The hysteria surrounding the England job is quite simply laughable, mainly because in my view,
whoever you put in charge of the national team, the current set up and set of players does not
stand a prayer of even getting close to winning a tournament in the near future.
Anyway, rather unsurprisingly, following the jury's decision to find Redknapp guilty of tax
evasion, combined with the sudden resignation of Don Fabio, the Droopy looking one has found
himself firmly at the front of the queue for the England job perhaps sooner than expected.
Bit bored, so here are my top 10 moments of Chelsea's season this year. Some real crackers in

It seems that a lot of people are not talking about football these days. Whether it be racism,
gayism (ok not sure if that's an actual word) or other outrageous incidents not even related to the
beautiful game. Here are a few things which I think should be brought back/or removed to help bring
the English game back to the glory days of the 90s.
Did you know that the name Joey Barton is an anagram of the word "Wanker"? I know, it took me a
while to figure it out as well. Anyway, I think its fair to say that I have long considered that
this odius character should have been banished from the footballing world and his latest actions
have done nothing to alter my opinion.
Its been a while since I have posted anything remotely interesting so here is brief summary with
all things that are annoying me in football these days
Roberto Mancini
I have a lot of respect for Roberto for the following reasons;
1) He was a brilliant striker
2) He brought madcap Mario Balotelli to England
3) No matter what the weather or situation he looks so suave in that scarf and coat you just cant
help but admire his style (in a non homosexual way : but if you look at him that way thats no
problem)
However, his recent whinge that he would struggle to fill his subs bench for the Man Utd game was
simply laughable.
After another Christmas of not doing especially a fat lot, I decided to take my usual place on the
sofa and tune into a Boxing Day feast of football which comprised of the usual dose of Soccer
Saturday followed by Match of the Day.
Whilst this for me is pretty much a perfect Saturday and nothing can quite beat the sound of Chris
Kamara shouting "Unbelievable Jeff" or Paul Merson screeching "He's hit the Beans on Toast!
Liverpool FC. A team often associated with great past glories, one of the best match day
atmospheres and some of the finest players to have ever graced the British game. However, their
actions in response to the suspension handed to Luis Suarez have in my opinion been nothing short
of extraordinary.
If there is one thing we love in football, its a villain. Someone to hurl abuse at in such a
fashion that it would not be out of fashion at a Pantomime at the Hippodrome in Birmingham.
However, in pantomime we all know that anyone booing or hissing is merely in jest and by the end of
the evening the actors and actresses all are smiling away as they accept the standing ovation which
their performance (just about) deserves.
Some more words of wisdom from the biggest tw*t in the Premiership to date
"However, despite criticising media intrusion into players' private lives, Barton hit out at the
behaviour of England captain John Terry and Manchester United star Giggs in their private
lives.
He said of the latter: "The Giggs issue in any walk of life is not right, the behaviour of the
man towards another man, towards his brother.
Part 2....Players Celebrating Goals (OTT)
It has been said by many a man that
scoring a goal is better than sex. Whether this is actually true I personally am not too sure, but
I think that the feeling of scoring a goal is pretty much unparalleled in world sport. And for
years, everyone knew that footballers felt this way.
Part 1...Fat FootballersIf I was to ask you to name the fattest footballer currently plying their trade in the Premiership
then what would your answer be? A difficult question to answer isn't it. Perhaps Yakubu? And even
then he is hardly a Rik Waller lookalike. Fat Frank? Lets be honest here, this is really just a
moniker and probably arose because over 10 yards he is slower than most people's grannies, rather
then anything to do with his actual physique.
Rather later than planned, here are the ups and downs from the Premiership this week
Going Up...
Robin Van PersieSo the glass man has entered the records books at Arsenal with a ton of goals to his name, both of
which were sublime finishes. Its a shame that his injury record is so poor or else he would be in a
position where he could play for one of the best teams in Europe (muhaha).
I was sitting in my new flat a couple of weeks ago watching the entertaining Benfica Vs Man United
game when the name of Javier Hernandez was uttered by the commentator. "That's pretty cool" said my
flatmate Micky when an image of the Mexican one came onto the screen. "It's like he's got his
rapper's name on the back of his shirt.
An apology for the lack of updates recently...this hasn't been because I couldn't be arsed. I was
away on my travels in Thailand and came back to find my computer had died. Not good. I will be back
up and running when tonight's match is done and dusted. In the Wo meantime, I will leave you with
the above picture which I took when conducting some informal scouting for my local team (ahem).
As the Americans would say, Gameweek 1 is over. F*CK YEAH! Let's see who's feeling higher than Pete
Doherty and those who are lower than a snake's belly.Going Up
Sergio Aguero & David Silva
I am sure I am not the only person who is going to be commenting on the spunktastic debut from
Sergio Aguero but it was truly wonderful to watch.
