I did say that we didn’t deserve to win the World Cup, given that the Premiership has ruined football. But it isn’t exactly as if I chose to be English. I am. And I still like football. And I still wanted England to win. Maybe I got it completely wrong on Friday, and that it was the English who were always going to capitulate to Germany so as to build the German’s confidence to ensure they can knock the smile off the face of Diego Maradona. Clearly though, picking Scousers was always going to be a downfall, and I don’t … Continued
Some things will be classed as fate, but other things will be classed as the collective will of the absolute total majority of the right-thinking population of the world. Now unless Mexico throw a spanner in the works, whoever wins out of England and Germany on Sunday, will play Argentina in the next round. It is in every Englishman’s blood to beat any Argentinian, far more than it is a German – after all the Germans are good people (I’m sure the Argentinians are too but I just get a tiny bit irked by their Falklands demands, and one or … Continued
According to the attached story, the maximum amount of housing benefit a family will be able to claim next year will be reduced from £103,000 to £20,800 a year. What the fuck? £20,800 a year is nearly twice what the very damn nice 2-bedroom flat I am renting costs a year. What does £103,000 get a year? Why have I been paying towards this as a tax-payer? Two words – Labour government. Howard Farrand, The Chartered Institute of Housing’s president, said: “They [the changes] will impact on the ability of worse-off families to live in more affluent areas”. Oh no. … Continued
I just wanted a quick moan. Sky is a waste of money and is shit. Our box has never worked properly, constantly breaks, sometimes starts working again, then breaks again. Now I cannot watch ITV, and there is a perfectly good game of football on. Bastards. Oh and they have ruined football as well by encouraging and allowing the huge sums of money played to those players – how can anyone justify that? I certainly will never again give any money to Sky, unless footballers are paid something more realistic in the future.
OK, it is the last round of games in the group stages so about time I made some observations. South Africa have to beat France. They are appalling, though South Africa are not much better. It is most likely that Mexico and Uraguay will draw, Latin American solidarity and all. Argentina look very good, I hate to say it, and I think they will beat Greece. And South Korea I think are a decent enough team, so they are my qualifiers from Group B. In Group C, I still have every confidence that England will pull it out of the … Continued
Many thanks to my new-found friend for supplying me with this gem. I do truly hate Maradona. If ever there was a good reason not to become a cocaine addict (allegedly of course) then a look at this disgrace of a human would be the reason. Scum. Though if Rooney cheats to beat Argentina then he will be a hero.
Why am I blogging at 6am on my week off you may ask? Well the answer is because I have a theory. A dark theory. And I need to get it into writing. I was getting to like the Germans. Beating them 5-1 many years ago helped. Though not as much as Sven Vath did. However it seems to me as though there is a problem in this World Cup that hardly any of the teams can control the new ball, the Jabulani. Adidas, a German company, produced the ball. I heard before the tournament, many footballers, especially goalkeepers, had … Continued
For those who only get to watch Premiership football, the idea of watching the World Cup might seem like a super-ridiculous thing for me to do, given my disdain for the damage that the search for money does to all around us. But the World Cup is not really about money, certainly not in the same way that the Premier League and Champsions League are. It is somewhat about football. But also about humanity. It is the one time, every 4 years (unless you count the Olympics?!!), that the world can put its differences aside and celebrate the fact that … Continued
I thought I should have a go at playing the City – in fantasy of course due to lack of real money (not sure the bank would lend it to me just to invest in shares?). I have always fancied that I could get my brain around the City and make lots of money out of doing so if I put the time and effort into it, but I’m not convinced that I would ever want to, or that I would enjoy the kind of lifestyle that goes with it. So they give you an imaginary £100,000.00 and you have … Continued
