No wonder Manchester United's players were out of sorts for their match against Tottenham on Saturday. After all, their team talk seemingly included a suggestion that they watch out for the pace of Batman. In his pre-match inteview, Sir Alex Ferguson flagged up the threat posed to his side by "Christian Bale".
In which Schalke 'keeper Manuel Neuer leans in for the kiss only to get slapped across the mush
by a supporter presumably as a result of Neuer's reluctance to sign a new deal at the club as the
squad make their way through Gelsenkirchen to show off the DFB Pokal trophy that they won on
Saturday courtesy of the 5-0 whupping they doled out to second division Duisburg.
El portero mas malo del mundo Khalid Askri, y no hablo de que sea malo por su caracter o algo
así, me refiero a que es el portero que mas errores ha cometido recientemente, el titulo es muy
agresivo lo se pero el error anterior fue un penalty parado que termino en gol, de hecho en ingles
el titulo es Khalid Askri The Most Stupid Goalkeeper Ever Is Back y el error que veran a
continuacion desencadeno en su retiro prematuro de las canchas ante la presión de haber cometido
un error del tamaño del estadio decidió salir del campo de juego, no se si odiarlo o admirarlo
por retirarse de la cancha.
El futbol debe de ser diversión y hay jugadores de una u otra manera lo entienden así ese es
el caso del portero Pablo ¨Batman¨Aurrecochea quien salió con una sudadera geek con los colores
y escudo de batman en el partido de Guarani contra el Rivel Plate de Uruguay, al parecer el
caballero de esa noche salió imbatido y su equipo gano el partido de la copa Sudamericana 2-0.
In case this seems out of context, you might want to check out Arsenal Season Review Part 1: The
Bad and the Ugly!
One oft repeated line over the course of last year was that this was THE season for the
‘neutral'. I put that word right in the middle of an apostrophe sandwich because I for one cannot
comprehend how anyone following any sport can be a neutral.
It's your Easter Weekend Wrap Special, where you'd better surrender your bunny
outfits in exchange for tomorrow's Arsenal-Man City showdown. Forget about those
egg chocolates and donate them to Samir Nasri instead because this is THE
standout, Premiership match of the holiday!
Theo Walcott is in awe of his captain Robin Van Persie for the way he can pluck goals out of
nothing and thinks that the Arsenal and Holland striker must be a hot favourite to win the
Player-of-the-Year trophy. "Everything is going his way and that is great to see," Walcott said.
"The most important [.
Returning home after Christmas, I opened my mailbox to find a wonderful surprise awaiting me – a
copy of 'So Paddy Got Up', the Arsenal anthology edited by Andrew Mangan of Arseblog.com. How my
brother had managed to be one of the few people to snag a hard-copy, I don't know, but it was, to
quote Arseblog's famous slogan, ‘fuckin excellent' to discover that he had.
Who needs Batman when we've got Robin! The Flying Dutchman once again scores the winning goal for
Arsenal, and it was a very very special one today. Arsene Wenger was of course all smiles after the
game and just had to sign Robin's praises for the umpteenth time this season. He said: "You [the
media] [.
This week while Ted is away, Chris and Scott take a look at the news of the week in MLS , and
look forward to this weekends games . And discuss some Batman
A spellbinding 3-0 win by Dallas away at the Galaxy on Sunday as midfield maestro David Ferreira
pulled the strings has the MLS Cup match-up set.
FC Dallas vs. Colorado Rapids for the right to rub it in Real Salt Lake's face. (I'm sorry, it
must be said that RSL was squawking quite loud before Dallas dismissed them on their way to
dismantling Los Angeles.
I want to make it clear that all things considered, I believe Thierry Henry signing with the Red
Bulls is a good thing for MLS. It is another step in the right direction. Stadiums will be full,
fans will be excited and perhaps the average New Yorker might even acknowledge the validity of
MLS.
However, the biggest benefit Henry brings to our domestic league is that he is so easy to cheer
against.
One of the main rules of the Intertoobz is that thou shall not repost, (or cross-post or go
postal or something like that. I've never been very good with rules.). However, this one is
something I noticed today, and put over on the comments thread of the previous post about the third
kit, as well as on the DT Facebook page.
I'll give you a second to let that headline sink in. It's strong, you can't deny that. Where one
might take issue, though, is in the folly behind stumping up twenty-odd million pounds for a
winger, when the last we heard was that dross would very much need to be shipped out before we
could start thinking about players coming in the other direction.
There's something about Ibrahimovic and Robinhohigh-fiving one another that speedily conjures up the Batman and Robin
theme song. Sure, you're now desperately trying to force images of Ibrahimovic in
spandex and a cape out of your minds (your welcome) but despite all his individualistic
glory, Ibra has thankfully, remembered that his superb goal in the 65th minute was
only possible through his teammates, Robinho and Urby.
Bari are staring down the barrel of the Serie A rifle after becoming the latest victims of the
Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani show. A goal in each half from Napoli's version of Batman and
Robin was enough to ensure that Walter Mazzarri's men left Puglia with all three points to leave
Bari cut adrift at the foot of the table.
Before Cristiano Ronaldo scored with his seeing-eye backheel against Ray Vallecano, Sergio Ramos
was lucky not to get sent off even before the half hour mark. He picked up a yellow card in just
the third minute, putting him on dangerous ground from the start. And about 15 minutes after that,
he casually employed a defensive technique that is usually frowned upon (keyword: usually) by
elbowing Diego Costa in the face.
Somebody on the Czech physio team is a just little too enamored with Christopher Nolan. Or maybe
he loves Tim Burton. I vote for Tim Burton.
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
For those too young to remember, my caption is an homage to the original Batman film, directed
by Burton and starring the greatest Dark Knight, Michael Keaton.
Right back at you Men. Now let's go get that kumbaya moment in Chester, Pa. and back here at
Robertson next week.
Oh, and while I do seem to have the floor here. The Worldwide Leader put out their Top 10 MLS
Goals of the season this past weekend from all games except the Dynamo win from Sunday night.
Everton launch their new pink away shirt for the 2010/11 season
Holy eyesores Batman, that is even more pink than it looked in the leaked photo. At least last
season's away kit was only a little bit pink, and mostly black.
The storming game at Stamford Bridge last night is likely to be remember for quite some time, if
only because YouTube exists.
Late in extra time, Chelsea holding onto their lead, and Didier gets a flying slap in the face
from absolutely no one. And then a cursory look around leads to a few more second on the
ground.
The MLS 101 series will be a "living/breathing document" in that I
will continue to edit and update these post to keep up to date with the inevitable changes that MLS
will make. I encourage you to bookmark the post so you can use them as a reference going
forward.
In this edition of MLS 101, it's time to tie up some lose ends about MLS roster rules, along
with player movement and acquisition.
Ads with footballers are typically cliched and formulaic. Valencia's Christmas video is anything
but, opening as though we're about to embark on a Tim Burton film the soundtrack does wonders. Or
maybe it's appropriately Batman's true underground lair.
And all simply to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Holy Bratwursten Batman, the Zjermans are bitchslappin' us
We fooled them yet again!
Back in 1986, we played Germany ( West-Germany to be precise) in a friendly and we missed a
couple of regulars ( Van Basten and Rijkaard weren't there) while Arnold Muhren and Erwin Koeman
weren't selected yet.
Well, judging by the things people say when they're standing down below me, I reckon the feller who
sculpted me must've made a pretty good job of it. Y'see he probably thought to himself, Hmmm,
it's Old Big 'Ead I'm working on here and he could've adjusted the sizes accordingly. I'm glad
he got it right, even though I have to rely on what people say when they walk past to know whether
I'm looking all right or not.
