This week Scott is joined by Steve, Andy , Joe and his cousin Luigi to take on the task of once
again making the Dinosaur laugh . Who will take home the prize of WU champion . Listen and find out
.
We're back again with a grumpy host and three panelist tasked with making the angry little armed
dinosaur laugh. On the show this week, it's the return of Andy Schueneman, Ata Dizdar and Mark
Villa. CSRN MEDIA PLAYER
I dunno how many football matches I've seen over the years in various countries; can't be far off a
1,000. But outside of a pub league game on a Sunday morning in brass monkeys weather I have never
seen a professional footballer take a phone call just minutes before kick off in a vital top flight
game.
Released from the stifling burden of his defensive responsibilities, Kyle Walker moves
purposefully onto a loose ball. He's spent a good while with his back to the wall, unable to shake
free of the relentless pressure coming his way as our north London rivals dominate. Walker's known
primarily for his pace but he's a fine footballer too, so it's a touch then head down, eyes on the
ball, it flies low and on target.
One of the things about the World Cup is that it puts the sport into perspective. With 64 games
in one month, it's easy to get a cross-section of where a country is. How well it's doing relative
to the other teams in the tournament. What the level of officiating is. And what improvements are
necessary.
Stuff to read while you watch Ronaldosaurus juggle a couple soda bottles which aren't computer
generated whatsoever..... Spanish press thinks Cristiano is a sassy sissy. (La Liga Loca) The
future stars of the Prem in transfer rumor. (View From The Terraces) The Brazilian celebration in
photos. (Futbolita) Another 5 lessons from the Confederations Cup.
So another Arsenal AGM passes with more waffle than you would find in Belgium.
One thing we did learn was the need to oust Peter Hill-Wood from his role as chairman because,
from what I saw, he was a joke.
I mean the old boy could barely read out the resolutions of the meeting from his notes and he
missed out the agenda of re-electing Stan Kroenke, the majority shareholder, on to the board.
It's not easy being a dinosaur you know, not in the instant digital world we now have to
inhabit. Now this dinosaur's brain might not be what it was, if indeed it ever was, but to me
twitter and face book seem like forums for airing your dirty linen in public.
One thing that really seems to rankle with other bosses is that Arsene Wenger always dodges the
opportunity to have a glass of wine with the opposing manager in his office after the game. It is
one of the reasons that many of the traditional English managers really don't take to him.
Quite frankly it is pathetic, it may be classed as traditional but a quick handshake and a few
words will suffice and quite frankly I can see every reason why Wenger doesn't want to be anywhere
near the fat, dribbling oik that is Fat Sam.
Right, well football's back and we can finally put the Interlull behind us. Obviously there was
plenty about Thierry, Ireland and France and what have you at Arsene's press conference yesterday
but I think enough has been said on here about it.
The only thing I will comment on is his call for technology to be used to help referees.
What the hell has gone wrong with Phillipe Senderos?.. Once he was going to be a future Arsenal
captain, the next Tony Adams. Now no one wants to entertain the man.
I like the guy, he is a very good defender he just lacks a bit of pace. But so does John Terry. So
why is John Terry so good and Phillipe Senderos so bad?
Keys and Gray won't be taking a bow as poor ticket sales see theatre shows
cancelled
In case you missed it, Sunday was derby day in Manchester. And one pub celebrated with an
interesting promotion. Spotted by @BlueM00NRising *** "Richard Keys and Andy Gray need no
introduction," begins the advertising blurb for their theatre tour.
Keys and Gray relaunch on the small, small screen, plus Cundy's on-air slip of the
tongue
Eight months after they left Sky Sports under a sexist cloud, Richard Keys and Andy Gray have
made it back to the screen in style. The dinosaur duo, used to broadcasting from state-of-the-art
studios with the aid of touch-screen tactics boards, have launched their own YouTube channel in
which they discuss football from what looks to be a park bench while being filmed on an iPhone.
Recently I read an article by Stan Collymore in which he had a jibe at match of the day, and I
have to say, I agree with him.
The former dogid Liverpool man, posted on his Twitter account that, 'I've watched it for 33 years
but, right now, in my opinion as a football fan, it's c**p, and like dinosaur football'.
Good first half. Familiar lack of finishing. Weak second and predictably punished. The defense did
look better organized (at least until Bocanegra left) though uncomfortable against the quick
counter, something that should have Mexico salivating. Anyway, just a few thoughts...
* Chandler looked really impressive at the problem left back spot.
Jermaine Jones has never been afraid of a bit of controversy. In 2004, he took a fairly softball
question, "Are there any gay footballers in the Bundesliga?" (Easy answer: I don't know) and turned
it into a major story when he answered "Hopefully not". Classy. He's also somewhat infamous for his
relationship, or lack thereof, with the fans of his former club, Eintracht Frankfurt, where he
announced he was leaving with a post on the club's bulletin board.
Speculation about the demise of their marriage is rife around Kickette HQ. Some believe it was
Sthef's poor force-feeding tactics that did her and her possible divorce settlement in.
Our new favourite feuding Brazilian couple is at it again and it's getting ugly. For a rehash of
Act 1, check out the initial divorce announcement.
No, not the time when you can finally justify spending your rent money on a pair of
over-the-knee boots because it's fall well, that too but, because it's Oktoberfest. Cue dozens of
footballers photographed taking part in beer swilling and much lederhosen merriment.

Over two years ago I got curious about Internet based club TV services, which more and more
Bundesliga clubs were launching at the time. With Cologne being a prominent absentee, I decided to
make my pick of test subscriptions based on presumed benchmark (Bayern), sympathies (Hamburg) and
Champions League football (Stuttgart).
This is Brazilian Ronaldo showing he has a sense of humour, in a "behind-the-scenes" look at an
actual television commercial.
He is revealed to be the Godzilla-like, CGI-generated dinosaur who causes havoc by appearing in
a football stadium, scoring a goal, then causing the pitch to dislodge from the earth when he
celebrates.
In this viral for a Brazilian soft drink, Fat Ronaldo is revealed to be the waddling dinosaur
that can freestyle with computer generated cans of the drink. The video is a "behind-the-scenes"
look at an actual television commercial that has the Godzilla-type dinosaur appear in a football
stadium, score a goal, then causes the pitch to dislodge from the earth when he celebrates.
As a follow-up to Saturday night's Salute To Heroes celebration and memorial, the New England
Revolution will be launching an online auction tomorrow at biddingforgood.com to raise money for
the 9/11 Memorial Fund. The Fund supports the ongoing development, operation and maintenance of the
new "Reflecting Absence" memorial at Ground Zero that was dedicated this past Sunday.
When Kenny Dalglish took over in January, there were many eager to portray him as a footballing
dinosaur who had lost touch with the game after a decade out. This was a sentimental choice, we
were told, and he would soon be found out.
As Liverpool improved beyond recognition in the following months, those who had been critical slunk
away.
And so it came to pass. Another day and another piece of high-quality linen to be bazooka'd
across the heavens and into your living rooms, courtesy of the good folk at Philosophy Football.
Here's their blurb followed by a dastardly scheme to get your paws on one.
The idea that MLS is headed down a dangerous path with increasing investment in players like David
Beckham and Thierry Henry is not a new one. Nor is the inflammatory notion that doing so will
create NASL redux, a repeat of history that will inevitably lead to the league's collapse.
Sports Business Journal is the latest to sound the alarm, though that conclusion comes at the end
of a piece on how MLS should focus on younger future talent, and the reasons why.
There is no question that the FIFA 2010 World Cup, coupled with the US team's success in group
play, has changed the way our country looks at the game.
EPL Talk writes about 7 different ways that the World Cup will change soccer in America-
"...if we take a second to consider what impact that the 2010 World Cup already has and will
continue to have over the next 12 months, it's quite awe-inspiring.
According to La Tribune de Lyon, Barcelona the club Michel Platini thinks about when he
touches himself at night have swooped in and taken a seven-year-old named Kais (not pictured above)
who was already signed by Lyon (seriously, I'm pretty sure he signed by drawing a green blob that
he then claimed was a dinosaur).
