OMG... Da playrz h8 me... Im a total ****... FFS!!! :(
We've all done it, had a few too many down the pub only to drunkenly text someone, usually an ex
or someone we fancy. However, I doubt many of us have sent a late night text informing professional
footballers that they had been dropped for the following day's game.

We thought long and hard about how to thank our faithful band of soldier boys and girls for
their support this year. Among the management proposals vetoed by the staff were:
- Spending the money set aside for the party season bar bills/lawyers fees on a couture outfit
for each and every one of you, with the balance to be contributed towards the search for Fernando
Torres' mojo.
Why watching the FA Cup 'with' Budweiser won't be everyone's glass of beer
It's only beginning to dawn, with the third round in sight, that the oldest cup competition in
the world is now called "The FA Cup with Budweiser." Not the Budweiser FA Cup, as that would sound
like they were endorsing alcohol.

Here's a little firecracker to start the morning off. Last night's last-16 tie in the KNVB Cup
between Ajax and AZ Alkmaar had to be abandoned after just 38 minutes (with Ajax leading 1-0) after
an incident involving a pitch invader caused the away side to leave the field in protest.
"La gente me dio el poder como un futbolista popular."
"Si la gente no tiene el poder de decir
las cosas, entonces yo las digo por ellos.""Si yo estuviera del otro lado, no del lado de la gente, no habría
nadie que escuchara mis opiniones".
Sócrates is dead. It's hard to see how anyone could be surprised. It's also hard not to think
that he died because he wanted to, since Sócrates always seems to have done what he wanted to. He
smoked incessantly because it gave him pleasure; he seems to have ingested vast amounts of alcohol
for the same reason.
11.11.2011 - Si a diez meses de haber asumido (como DT de la selección chilena), Claudio
Borghi no terminó de combatir la sombra (comparativa) de Marcelo Bielsa (y sus "viudas"), el
estallido en la Roja lo volvió a foja cero.
El complejo Pinto Durán (rebautizado como
"Tinto Durán") es un polvorín desde que el
Bichi decidió separar del plantel a Arturo Vidal, Jean Beausejour, Carlos Carmona, Jorge Valdivia
y Gonzalo Jara por llegar 45 minutos tarde a los entrenamientos en un estado "indefendible".
Via DW-World, nos enteramos de la iniciativas del alcohol en los Estadios en Alemania y en la
Selección Alemana, les transcribo la nota.
En el exterior, es decir, allí donde ustedes leen esto, cuando se menciona el nombre de Alemania,
hay tres cosas en las que automáticamente se piensa (¿o me equivoco?
Chelsea's performance (especially in the first half) and result on Wednesday night was fantastic
against (it has to be said) a disappointing Genk side at Stamford Bridge. For me, it was simply the
best night of Chelsea football for many different reasons.
I have been a Chelsea fan all my life, I am from the area, my family are Chelsea fans and my
Father, Uncle, Brother and Cousins all go to the game.
On 19 November I'm going to be a doing a 24 hour blogathon. A (minimum 500 words) post every hour
for 24 hours.
One of the organisations I'll be fundraising for is the Homeless World Cup.
Here's why:
There are
one billion homeless people in the world today.
That figure is so big as to be almost incomprehensible.
Former Arsenal and England attacking midfielder Paul Merson (43) was arrested on suspicion of
drink driving yesterday after crashing his Mercedes into the back of a 40 ton truck at 3.30am.
Merson who admitted cocaine abuse in 1994 while playing for England and Arsenal, has had a
serious of addiction problems from Drugs, Alcohol and gambling and it seems the likable SkySports
pundit has fallen off the wagon again, let's hope he can back back to the Paul Merson so many of us
love with his great sense of humour and constant piss taken.

Alcohol is not merely a constituent of a good party. Rather, it's the party's host.
Shay Given knows this, which is why he issued a call to the Republic of Ireland fans before
last night's Euro 2012 qualifier vs. Armenia to hit the booze. Shay apparently felt that a wee
dram or ten might help the faithful blow the roof off the stadium and simultaneously propel the
team to victory.
When you consider the amount of hot air, high fashion, alcohol and misbehaviour that generally
occurs when awards are dished out, you'd think we'd have a staff member whose only job is to sniff
out those nominations.
Well, we don't.
Generally, if we learn we've been nominated it's too late and even if we win, we're too
disorganised to go to the ceremony.
Top Gun, voodoo dolls and and avoiding the JPT and X-Factor
Matt Lawrence has played for seven league clubs including Fulham, Crystal Palace and Millwall,
for whom he appeared in the 2004 FA Cup final during his 16-year career. Now with League Two
Gillingham, his diary will appear on MirrorFootball every Monday.
Schalke fans might want to skip this. Everybody else, who has seen enough of Bayern players in
Lederhosen and WAGs in Dirndls, can skip this as well.
It's Oktoberfest time in Munich again and Bayern paid a visit. As they do every year. And either
Bayern are already operating on a level, where a 0-0 draw away at Hoffenheim equals a horrible
defeat, or they really would have rather spend their day someplace else.

Giovani dos Santos appears to be from the same moral fiber as Ashley Cole, y'all. How
interesting.
A cautionary piece of counsel if we may, Kickettes. Never and we mean ever should anyone be in
the presence of alcohol if their mobile devices are in possession of nude self-portaits.
Capello is right: alcohol DOES cast a shadow over our game
In football, just as in our society as a whole, there is a booze culture that is careering
out of control. So, I was interested to hear Fabio Capello say Andy Carroll drinks too much. I have
no idea whether the Liverpool star has been hitting the bottle too hard, but I know today's
players are the product of a system that makes it tough for clubs to educate them how to
refuel.
Chips, hats and alcohol free Amiens 0-1 Le Havre (12:08:11) Reporting on the first leg of a
three-part French and Belgian European Football Weekend, Andy Hudson of Gannin' Away... The coach
turned onto Buckingham Palace Road. "Thank fuck we're here" came the mackem accent from behind me,
"I'm never doing that again" it continued before morphing into a yawn.
Brandon Marshall has had a number of incidents off the field that have left many wondering
whether he was a bad apple. On Sunday, Brandon Marshall announced that he may have found an answer
for his behavior. The superstar wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins says he has been diagnosed
with borderline personality disorder.
20.07.2011 - Máximo goleador histórico de la Bundesliga (365) y de la selección alemana
(68), más 66 goles en Copas Internacionales, Botín de Oro europeo (1970 - 38 goles y 1972 - 40

goleador de la Copa de Europa: es
Gerd Muller (66) quien fue encontrado anoche perdido (y
confundido) en las calles de Trento (Italia) 15 horas después de que la delegación del Bayern
Munich denunciase su desaparición.

If an EPL footballer accidentally kicks a fellow player in the face during a goalmouth scramble
in a pre-season friendly (0.34), we are unlikely to run a post on the matter. We prefer to avoid
violent confrontation unless alcohol honour is involved.
Liverpool 6: Adam 27′, Ngog 68′ 69′, Maxi 76′ 90′, Kuyt 94′Malaysia XI 3: Rahim 40′, Mohd Sali 79′ 80′
Charlie Adam gets his first goal in Liverpool shirt, David Ngog and Maxi get two a piece, and
Liverpool wrap up their Asian tour with a victory in front of 80,000 fans at Bukit Jalil National
Stadium in Kuala Lampur.
We were all shocked when the story initially broke. If you were living under a rock at the time,
it surfaced in early May that Marcos Alonso was involved in a crash. One woman died and three other
passengers of the car were seriously injured. Alonso, the driver of the car, escaped relatively
unscathed but also with a hefty amount of alcohol in his system.

'Scandal' has broken out in this morning's Il Corriere dello Sport, who claim that Lionel Messi,
both Gab and Diego Milito and cape-wearing crime fighter Martin Palermo attended a 'sex and
alcohol' party in their native Argentina which was being hosted by local reality TV strumpet Xoana
Gonzalez.
Over the weekend, we said signs indicated that Oscar De La Hoya was having marriage problems. We
used Oscar De La Hoya's Twitter account as evidence. Well, it turns out we were right! TMZ is
reporting that cocaine use by the boxing legend led to him to marital infidelity. As a result,
Oscar De La Hoya checked into rehab.

What we love about the end of the football season is the innumerable chances we have to rub
shoulders with the rich, famous and successful. We also relish any and all opportunities to join in
on any winning side's celebratory champagne showers.
Fabio Capello's warning to Andy Carroll to steer clear of alcohol has seemingly fallen on deaf
ears. The Liverpool star, who scored his first international goal in England's 1-1 draw with Ghana
in March, was pictured apparently enjoying a pint of lager in Madrid on Wednesday.
Carroll was in the Spanish capital to watch the semi-final clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Scotland's top police officer has warned that a combination of alcohol, sun and a bank holiday
could make Sunday's Old Firm clash "the perfect storm".
The chief constable of Strathclyde police, Stephen House, predicted that violence, including
rape and domestic abuse, will surge this weekend.
Phone your bosses from your lunch breaks, Kickettes, and feed them a convincing "I'm
siiiiiiiick" excuse because this afternoon is finally the time for you to audit some
tantalising thighs in the privacy of your own homes.
You read right: everyone's beloved Thursday Thigh-Off competition has returned and with a cool
new logo to boot.
Gloria James, mother of LeBron, was arrested by Miami Beach police after reportedly assaulting a
valet worker. With alcohol on her breath and bloodshot eyes, Gloria slapped the valet parker,
Rockfeller Sorel, at the Fontainebleau Hotel for taking too long to get her car.
Gloria James and the man she slapped
The victim's account of the incident was supported by several witnesses.
In the fourteenth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Dan and Dan are once again back on the fernet (after
an alcohol-free episode 13), whilst Seba is dry as ever. We discuss the two giants of Argentine
football; Boca Juniors, ... Continue reading →
No hay fecha que no se llegue ni plazo que no se cumpla, se viene el fin de semana y como todo
buen regiomontano sabe que esta semana ha sido de tensión y como no si es la edición 93 del
clásico regiomontano.
Se sabe que no es un juego más, es el del orgullo y hoy en día es el del despunte para
cualquiera de los dos equipos, se tiene bien claro que este juego no se debe perder, no se puede
perder.
Yesterday was great, wasn't it? Basking in the glow of a great win over a fantastic side, in
what was a tense, entertaining match, it doesn't get much better. Honestly, for those of you on
Twitter, if you had a drinking game requiring you to take a drink every time someone claimed they
were "buzzing" yesterday, you'd have died of alcohol poisoning relatively early in the morning.
So of course since I think MLS should take it easy on the alcohol, Chivas USA goes out and signs
a shirt sponsorship deal with Corona. Awesome. That's...not at all what I wanted.
Via Steve Giada, DC Untied is getting a third uniform, presumably in the hopes of being mistaken
for a team which has actually made the playoffs in recent memory.
The Asian Cup begins in Qatar today providing a preview to the world's biggest dance in
2022.
Can the tiny, oil and gas rich country start turning around the skepticism that greeted it's
shock selection? How about their national team - a usual joke even with its neighbours? Can Brian
Metsu make them competitive?
Ariel Ortega, the 36 years old midfield maestro and a key player for River Plate in the last two
decades, was told by the coach Jose Lopez that he is not needed anymore in the team. Ortega missed
the first day training session for the upcoming Clausura tournament, without a clear reason. When
he came to training next day, he was told by Lopez on his decision.
Ted Williams, un indigente de 53 años de edad en Columbus Ohio tiene una voz magica y una
suerte tremenda, ya que después de haber caído en las garras del alcohol y las drogas, se
ganaba la vida en los cruceros con un cartel que decía lo siguiente:
"Tengo un regalo divino de voz.
Happy 2011, Kickettes! We sincerely hope you had a wonderful break filled with pudding and
presents.
We also hope you spent your New Year celebrations with someone you love/lust/like, and that the
alcohol poisoning only required an overnight hospital stay.
We can't think of a better way to welcome a new start than with this fascinating short tent
scenario from the Liverpool/Bolton game.
