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.
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.
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.

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.
