Butt's Brain on a Monday...

- Mediocre Voronin and mediocre Dossena leave Liverpool, but who will replace them at Anfield?
[Football Corner]

Like the headline says, ouch. OUCH. This is actually painful to watch, though
nowhere near as painful as it was for Christian Chivu, who came off much worse
after a brutal clash of heads with Chievo forward Sergio Pellissier during a recent Serie A clash
match:
The desription of the injury suffered by Chivu, found on Inter's official website (Spotter's
badge: 101GreatGoals), is equally painful to read:
"The player [Cristian Chivu] sustained a trauma to the right side of the cranium and it provoked
some fractures with the collapse of the structure and some blood, but the bruising was
contained.
It's really quite amazing how a lot of people open their mouths without engaging the brain. I was
just listening to the radio last night and heard fat Sam Allardyce talking ahead of their second
leg match against Villa. Obviously fat Sam has an average set of cloggers playing for him at
Blackburn and he wants to reduce expectations but he went a little far in his interview.

A tearful America supporter sits outside Angeles Hospital, awaiting news of star player
Salvador Cabanas, who was shot in the head in a Mexico City bar in the early hours
of Monday morning.
Cabanas, who was a reported transfer target of Sunderland, is in a critical but stable
condition after undergoing seven hours of emergency surgery.
"Growing up it all seems so one-sided/Opinions all provided/The future pre-decided/Detached and
subdivided" -- Rush, "Subdivisons"Normally 1980s Canadian synth-prog rock and the English Premier
League don't exactly roll off the tongue in the same sentence. A song about Toronto FC, maybe.
Welcome to the twisted place that is my brain.
An interesting look at the changes Mancini has introduced from a player who looks set to feature
heavily in the immediate future at least:
"It's not an emphasis on defence. I believe that he pays a lot of attention to details, and he
makes it clear what he wants. Everybody on that pitch knows exactly what he has to do.
You can't talk footy fashion without mentioning DJ, hell no you can not.
But where does he feature in our third day of Readers Choice Award categories? If you guessed,
"he features in the mocking category", we suggest you get your coat because you've pulled, luv.
Okay, Kickette army, here's your selections for today.

The emotional part of the old fan brain is cheering for this guy. It is the great underdog story,
the late, late draft pick who turns out to be a star. TFC history would indicate that he has very
little chance of sticking with the team. Brian Edwards is the only second round pick who has been
on the roster of late.

I mean, the dude hasn't been young for a long time:
Then while at Tottenham, a teenaged Ledley King caught Keller in a quiet moment in the
locker room. "When I was a kid I used to watch you at Millwall," King said in Keller's laughing
recollection.
"That's when I knew I started to make that transition into the mature veteran," he
said.
