Chelsea players have stuck two fingers up at the freezing weather and their dire form by engaging
in a series of fun and games at their training ground in Cobham All a bit of a laugh really
especially the scene where Fernando Torres and John Terry viciously grapple as the pair aim to win
the [...] Related posts:

Because knowing the final score makes Joe Hart's heroics far less frustrating. Because Craig
Bellamy is fantastic, even if for the final twenty minutes he was on the pitch it was hard not to
worry his knees would explode every time he took off. Because the crowd was absolutely phenomenal
and we could easily have devoted an entire entry to videos of just that.
Let's face it, yesterday's Manchester derby was awful. Yes, there were goals and a spirited
second-half fightback from City after an understandably poor first-half display.
But the game was ruined as a fair contest by Chris Foy and Wayne Rooney in the eleventh minute.
Anyone who knows the rules of football intimately will understand that Foy's decision to send off
City captain Vincent Kompany for his tackle on Nani was plainly wrong.
This preview was written yesterday, before the Suarez verdict. I thought about rewriting it. I
still don't know what to say. Everyone's fumbling in the dark with just the FA's paltry statement
to grasp onto, basing every opinion (and they are opinions) on their own biases (myself included).
Until the FA releases its corresponding evidence, this ordeal seems more Franz Kafka's The
Trial than "standard" football discipline.
In The Stands sticks two fingers up at the official Euro 2012 draw and plays God to create our very
own ‘dream draw' throwing up some potential blockbusters! Let's face it, the long-winded
ceremony-come-draw for Euro 2012 on Friday evening will be a bore. That is of course until the
balls start being drawn out [.
Now really, what's so bad about this Elite Player Performance Plan that's put so many in a
tizzy? This weekend, there will still be hundreds of thousands of fans filling English Premiership
stadiums eagerly cheering their clubs on to victory or putting two fingers up at their opposition
just as always, as football yobs are wont to do these days.
Referee chiefs are sticking two fingers up at fans by refusing to punish blunderers like
Martin Atkinson
How depressingly predictable that Martin Atkinson found himself gainfully employed in the
Premier League last weekend. And how depressingly predictable that Sam Warburton, the captain of
the Wales rugby union side, was given a three match ban after being sent off in the semi final of
the World Cup.
In The Stands sticks two fingers up at UEFA licences and brings you the best of Tuesday's Champions
League action with Manchester United's 2-0 win over Otelul Galati. Wayne Rooney proved decisive as
he netted two second half penalties for Sir Alex Ferguson's men who also had defender Nemanja Vidic
sent-off for crude lunge.
I'm not even going to begin a debate as to whether Rooney deserves the harsh sentence Uefa has
dished out on the temperamental scouser.
Any-one that has read my posts should be aware that I am a Man United fan, something that is
undoubtedly looked down upon on this site.
Regardless of who I support, I can remain objective enough to say that Rooney made an
inexcusable, rash and stupid mistake.
Samuel Eto'o is regarded within the game as one of the lead campaigners supporting football's
bid to rid the game of the cancer that is racism.
So it comes as somewhat of a surprise that the Cameroon striker looks set to leave Inter for a
team in the Russian Premier Division, a league notorious for having a huge problem with racist
behaviour amongst fans.
It's Friday going into the Fourth of July weekend and it's time for a few orange fireworks.
Dynamo head to Colorado on Sunday to take on the defending MLS champ Colorado Crapids. (I'm
sorry. No matter how many times I say, read or write that, I just cannot believe it. Oh well,
thanks to George John, at least I'm not applying that label to Frisco!
First there was Carlos Tevez. The giant blue advertisement screamed "Welcome to Manchester" as the
sky blue poster stuck up two fingers to the red half of Manchester and signalled their arrival in
amongst the big players in the Premier League.
Then came Sir Alex Ferguson and his infamous "noisy neighbours" remark which incensed followers of
Roberto Mancini's Manchester revolution.
