‘Where Have You Been And What Are You On About’ Blog
I start this blog by saying sorry for not putting one up for a while, I’ve been moaned at by a few people for basically being lazy for not putting one up, which is actually true [bar the fact I had my birthday, I had another birthday to do and I had to plan for a pitch for college], nonetheless the blog is back. I also start by saying what I post below is what I think and feel and, although you may not agree [which is, ofcourse, your right to disagree but it is not right to dismiss an opinion and say it is wrong, as I was being told I was wrong, despite the fact opinions can never be wrong], I won’t change my views unless I have a valid reason to, reasons like “you’re a racist”, “you’re an idiot”, “you’re a secret BNP follower” (which I’m not) and other things of this nature won’t be deemed valid. Proper reasons please. Read on with care. Anyway, moving onto this week’s blog.
I start by clearing a few things up about last Thursday’s events and what I said, and, according to some people, secretly meant but were not in the slightest way true. I’m sure we all heard what happened on Thursday, it was Remembrance Day for Britain, a day where the nation remembers those soldiers who have died in past wars, most notable World War I which officially ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (11th November this year), and at 11am every year on this day, a 2 minute silence occurs to honour the memories of these soldiers. All was good and well, until a group of Muslim Islamic extremists decided to gatecrash the event, burn poppies and chant “British soldiers, burn in hell”. In England, we use poppies as a symbol of remembrance for the soldiers; they often appear on people’s coats, jackets and other pieces of clothing and can appear on other types of objects. They burnt these during the silence, something I am hugely annoyed over in all honesty.
I’ll tell you why I’m annoyed, I’m annoyed because, a few months back, a priest in America was declaring a “Burn a Koran” day on the 11th September [the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks ofcourse] and everyone was basically jumping out of windows to stop him from doing it, yet these extremists come along and the police just stand by and journalists get right up to them and start taking photos and filming them instead of trying to stop them, they just got left to do what they want. Why?! This just makes us look even softer than we are, and I don’t think this country can get any softer at the moment in all honesty, it makes them think they can get away with anything, which is completely wrong. We need to make a stand against these people, send in the police, full force, and kick their arses for disrespecting a country they chose to live in. They bum off our benefits, getting money for free, get free health care, free houses, free electric and gas, all sorts of free stuff, which us [the tax payer] pays for, yet they still disrespect us. Strip them of what they have and let them work on their own again or, even better, kick them out the country. If we done this in their country, we’d have our balls and hands chopped off, let’s not forget they have Sharia law there [a ridiculous law]. They wouldn’t be lenient with us so let’s not be lenient with them.
To me, the poppy means more than the bible, which means them burning the poppy is like me burning the Koran to them, why do you think I say burn the Koran? The poppy is the reminder of who fought for our freedom, religion has done nothing for us, and soldiers have. If religion has done something for us, then please tell me and prove your point [points that include stuff like “God invented the earth”, “Jesus died for us”, “God created us” etc are all invalid as they haven’t been proven]. The poppy is basically a bible in its own way. Now imagine if I burnt the Koran in their country, I’d be shot at dawn, let’s not be lenient with them!
Also, I hate the word “racist” being thrown about like confetti; let’s break the word ‘racism’ down. It’s, basically, saying that I’m being offensive to another race. Well wait, for starters they’re not a different race, they’re humans [despite how idiotic they are and how much of a disgrace they are to the human race]. They’re a different religion, so shouldn’t I be called “religist” more?
It was said on the news today [BBC Radio 2 News] that we can’t win the war against terrorism through conflict, so expect these extremist attacks to keep happening for the next 30 years and we should try and limit them as much as possible [no shit to the last part!], I know, stop these ‘extremists’ coming into the country, stop them getting benefits if they’re able to come into the country, don’t give them “freebies”, make them work for it.
One last word of note on this, I’m not saying ‘all’ Muslims are the same, ofcourse they’re not, I’m saying Muslims as they’re Muslims. It’s like when people accuse catholic priests of being paedophiles, that doesn’t imply ‘all’ catholic priests, are paedophiles, but some are, and they’re the ones who get all the headlines!
Just a quick point on Uncle Woy, I still think he should be kept in the job, as trying to turn Liverpool back into a force in 4 months and 1 transfer window was never going to happen, let’s not forget that 90%+ of this team were Rafa’s buys, so he is trying to put together a team which isn’t his [a bit like what Rafa was doing in 2004/05] and it takes time. Rafa got given all the support he wanted last season [despite some abysmal results including losing to Wigan [away], Sunderland [away], Aston Villa [home], Fulham [away and managed, funnily enough, by Roy!] and money-troubled Portsmouth [away]], why not support Roy? Pathetic from ‘so called’ fans (I remember the abuse I got for not supporting Rafa, but now I’m being abused for supporting a manager), and especially from a fan base who have always supported their managers through thick and thin. Wasn’t so long back when people thought he was the right man after all after beating Chelsea 2-0, then only to jump back on the “sack Roy” wagon a week later. Give him time; he won’t do worse than Rafa did last year.
The blog [hopefully] will be back, weekly, from now on. The opinions above are my own and, as they’re opinions, they cannot be wrong. I’m not racist either; I’d rather be considered patriotic, which I am [hopefully]. Comments below are appreciated and, don’t forget, your comment won’t post straight away below, I moderate them all first, so, if it doesn’t come up [which it won’t straightaway], don’t worry, it is fine. Abusive comments [towards me and others in a harmful nature] will not be allowed and therefore not posted. Thanks.

No Name Blog
Time for this week’s blog, I’m tired but I’ll stroll on regardless after such a cracking day in college. I usually have something to explain or to talk about quickly in the intro part but not this week, so onto this week’s blog.
Well to start with the obvious, it seems like Liverpool’s sale to NESV will go ahead after all, after two court hearings in the space of 3 days. I mentioned last week about the takeover and a lot has happened in the last few days, after it was announced that the NESV offer had been accepted, twit and twat weren’t going to have any of it and so they took it to court because the offer “undermined” the value of the club. How much were they expecting to get for a team who finished 7th in the league last season and is 18th in the league this year? Oh wait, in the region of £600m actually. They were also, presumably, fuming because they were/are about to make no profit from the sale whatsoever. They took it to court after Hicks tried to change the board just a few minutes before the meeting with NESV, in an ‘RBS [Royal Bank of Scotland] and Liverpool FC board vs Hicks and Gillet’ battle royal! Ofcourse, they [H&G] were going to lose this case as they’re not allowed to change any of the board, only Broughton can do that, and as soon as he said he had that on paper, they had no leg to stand on in that court case.
With that down the drain, they went to Texas to get an injunction on the sale of the club there, the court gave it and it begs the question: “What authority do they have on granting requests on an English asset? Especially one as huge as Liverpool FC”. They were never going to beat the high court in England anyway and the American’s have until 4pm tomorrow to comply with the selling of Liverpool FC.
Once again, I raise the question on whether or not England should start Wayne Rooney. I reckon they shouldn’t as his heart doesn’t seem to be in it for England. Also, Rio Ferdinand should not be captain as his performance against Montenegro the other night was no better than average and he never played or acted like a captain, failing to inspire any confidence or urge into the team, instead he sat at the back fiddling with his fat bottom lip. Surely Capello sees that Steven Gerrard should be captain as he made that game his own and controlled the game from midfield, carving out chances for the strikers.
Anyway, moving on from football [as I’m actually tired of hearing about it this week (but, ofcourse, you can comment about it below)], two new [awesome] demo’s have came out in the last week on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 [PSN and Xbox Live respectively]. The first being Star Wars: Force Unleashed II and, having just played the demo today, I can honestly say it’s a brilliant game with fantastic graphics and hugely impressive combat fighting [dual sabers being a fantastic addition]. The second being Dragonball: Raging Blast 2 being the second, with brilliant graphics for an anime game and brilliant combat moves, really addictive, just a shame only 4 characters can be chosen [the final game will have 90], 2 arenas can be chosen in the demo [the full game having 13 arenas] and the final game will have a new, reanimated, 30 minute movie.
Also, it’s great news to hear that the 33 Chilean miners have been lifted out of that mining hole. 17 days passed without them being noticed and then they had to spend another 52 days before anyone could be managed to be lifted out [69 days in total before the first person was lifted out]. Only one question, are they going to be paid overtime?
Not much really to speak about this week. I know Liverpool’s takeover and the Chile miners are big news but I’m not going to rattle on about stuff which people keep hearing about. Looking forward to seeing Lee Evans Roadrunner tour next year, if George decides to get his arse in gear and book some. Oh and also, comments are now monitored [by me] so if your comment doesn’t appear below, don’t worry, it’ll mean it’s in moderation and I’ll work as quick as I can to put them on the blog’s comment section. Abuse of any kind won’t be tolerated!

Suggestions For The Name Of This Blog Please Blog
Wow, it seems so long since I last done a blog and I promise it will be back to schedule weekly now, I had personal reasons why there was no blog last week, ranging from my laptop charger dying so I couldn’t use my laptop till I bought a new one, me feeling tired last Thursday night, no Microsoft Word thanks to the reformat of my laptop and even a trip to hospital [weren’t me in there, it was someone else]. It was a pretty fucked week in all honesty, but now times should get better and I can crack on with this weekly. Enough of last week’s crap, let’s move onto this week’s crap.
As you may have noticed, the name of this blog is ‘Suggestions for the Name of This Blog Please Blog’, I say this as I wish for some people to perhaps come up with a name for this blog as I think having a permanent name, instead of the random bullshit headings, would look a lot better, suggestions to the usual places, either the comment section below or to my Facebook page, thanks.
We move on now to the obvious news of the potential takeover of Liverpool, by company New England Sports Venture [NESV], led by self-made millionaire John Henry, purchasing the club for £300m, £200m going towards clearing the club debts. If the NESV deal goes through, Hicks and co-owner George Gillett stand to lose a total of £144m, though, not surprisingly, they have decided to take the case to court as they’re not happy with the deal [due to the lack of profit].
The interesting thing about John Henry is the philosophy he has. He likes using reams of statistics to build a winning team based on the theory that lesser-known players who perform consistently are more important than big-money superstars.
There is one thing that is pissing me off more than Tom & Jerry [Hicks & Gillett] hanging on for dear life at Liverpool, and that is the spokesperson of the Spirit of Shankly group, James McKenna. Whether it be the BBC, Sky Sports News or the Daily Mirror, he’s been there as if he was part of the Anfield boardroom. He is speaking as if he owns the club and makes the decisions and that whatever he demands has to be listened to. It was annoying to hear a woman on the radio yesterday morning stating the new potential owners “must speak to the SoS [Spirit of Shankly] group before making a deal”. No, not at all, he has nothing to do with this and shouldn’t really be poking his nose into stuff, ok be part of it, voice your concern, put banners up about your disgust against the current regime but don’t act like you are god of Liverpool FC, it’s up to the board to get rid of the yanks now, we’ve sent emails to the banks that Hicks tried to get money from, it worked, now we have two potential new buyers let the board make the decision and sit back in peace, it’s not his position to be butting in and telling a self-made millionaire what he must and mustn’t do, he wouldn’t be a self-made millionaire of a successful baseball club if he never knew how to run a business/sports team.
Another thing that is really bothering me about Liverpool is the terrible on-the-pitch performances as well as the ones off it. I will not accept the pathetic excuse that the players will be affected by the board room issues, that’s a crap cover up for players who get paid mega money for what they do. This also says to me that they’re unprofessional, easily distracted and not determined enough. What Uncle Woy should be drilling into them is that this is nothing to do with them and they should be going out on the pitch each week giving 100%, the better the performances on the pitch, the better the investors come in to try and buy the club, would you prefer to buy a club who were amongst the top 4 each season or buy a club in the bottom 3 of the Premier League if you could. Ofcourse it would be the first option. Also, they should be reminded of who they’re playing for, they’re playing for the most decorated club in Britain [forget Rangers, you can’t really boast winning a Scottish Premier League title, it’s a piss poor copper cup league compared to the likes of the Barclays Premier League, the Spanish La Liga and the Italian Serie A] and they should be made to give their all or not be paid, like I’d have done to Mascherano for the way he treated the club.
If we’re to start pushing up the league, we need much better performances week in, week out and they need to be of the highest quality every match and we MUST drop the 4-2-3-1 for the 4-4-2, I mentioned this on a recent blog. We must start by winning the Merseyside derby, if we lose that, then heads will start turning as they already have [Christian Poulsen (a victim of being a very poor performer this season) revealing the whole team is in crisis over recent performances and the board room being as it is].
Moving on from this, I have a question for people, should Jamie Carragher finally take a place on the bench? I don’t mean this as a disrespectful comment towards Carragher, he has served the club tremendously, but every player has his day and Carragher has certainly seen that, being 32 now and not looking a year younger and has had a lot of mixed form, I believe we should start looking to an Agger - Skrtel partnership as the new Hyypia – Hechoz combination [centre back pairing of the year at one point] as they’re young and are very effective and are far quicker than Carragher. Carragher’s lack of pace and speed has been pointed out time and time again with him giving away needless fouls in and around the penalty area. What bugs me most about him is the way he pumps the ball long 90% of the time, why can’t he pass it along the floor instead of pumping it forward and always giving possession away to the opposition. So that’s the question, should we let Carragher have his day and let the younger generation take over?
Tomorrow is the day the new Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 game comes out and, believe me, it’s one million times better than FIFA 11. The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League both return, as well as the addition of the UEFA Super Cup and the Copa Libertadores [the posh way of saying the South American Champions League]. The game is completely revamped from last year and far different, and will take a lot of getting used to, even to the experienced PES player. If you wish to see any screenshots of the game, either Google them or look at the screenshots I have made myself of the Champions League, player faces and Master League in the link below.
Moving on from sport related things, I was listening to a late night radio phone in [on TalkSPORT [a British radio station]] and it was about 2 or 3 things but mainly the way our army soldiers are treated once they leave the army, and I think it’s disgraceful. During the army, they’re treated like kings and queens, which is how it should be [they’re putting their lives on the line for us] but once they come out the army, they’re left to fend for themselves like animals. When they leave the army [and ex-army soldiers were phoning in the show which confirms this], they’re technically classed as homeless. This means they can’t get benefits, they can’t get a job and they have no home [ofcourse], and having no benefits and/or job[s] means they can’t get money which means they can’t live. They’re forced to stay on friend’s couches and, according to one or two people phoning in, this is truly demoralising as most friends have kids and a wife and a happy family, yet they don’t have a home themselves. One caller said when they did finally get onto the property ladder, they would have had to wait 9-13 years for a home and they were getting no benefits from the council as the council didn’t want to help them. Is this the way we treat our army soldiers? Yet these illegal immigrants who come in get a job, benefits, a house and food all paid for them by us, why not our own? Our own, especially people who fight for our freedom and risk their own lives for us, should be treated much better than they are and be given priority [as all British should] over these immigrants. It is a disgrace to the nation and a disgrace on the government for not allowing the councils to help them.
The next discussion I’d like to bring to the table is the question of whether or not British people have lost their unique sense of humour. This all stems from a Facebook status I had last week which had an old British joke on which read:
‘Why did Hitler cry when he got to Heaven?’
‘God gave him his gas bill.’
Providing Hitler gets to Heaven, ofcourse, but anyway, I see no problem with this joke but I was later informed it was “hurtful against the Jews”, bollocks! It’s an attack against Hitler against what he done, and who wouldn’t want to attack Hitler for what he tried to do [and utterly failed at]? If this was a joke against a British person then no one would be arsed but it’s because it’s against someone else that it is. Imagine this scenario, have a look at this joke.
‘How do you starve a British drug addict?’
‘Hide his food vouchers in his work boots’.
Not offensive, ay? Now, let’s put it this way:
‘How do you starve an immigrant?’
‘Hide his food vouchers in his work boots’.
Now try this:
‘What have sperm and North England’s people got in common?’
‘Only one in one million actually work’.
Now this:
‘What have sperm and immigrants got in common?’
‘Only one in one million actually work’.
The first one would not be considered offensive, but the second one would. Why? Most of the times, jokes tell the truth in a comical way, sometimes it’s a stereotype, sometimes it’s just plainly a joke, would you consider an “Englishman, Irishman, Scottishman” joke to be offensive? I wouldn’t, so why anything else should be considered offensive, I’ll never know. It’s pretty pathetic from the Political Correctness brigade, let us have our Britishness back! It’s what makes us British, our humour.
The government are pissing about again we can see, with David Cameron’s laughable ‘Big Society’ campaign where he is basically telling us to do public sector jobs [Police, NHS [National Health Service], Fireman, even charity work] for free. No thanks, I wouldn’t want to do a full job, which is very hard work, for free. A quote from yesterday’s comedy club, I mean, er, Tory jungle club from Cameron was:
“So that great project in your community — go and lead it. The waste in government — go and find it. The new school in your neighbourhood — go and demand it. The beat meeting on your street — sign up. The neighbourhood group — join up. That business you always dreamed of — start up … Society is not a spectator sport. This is your country. It's time to believe it. It's time to step up and own it.”
We can’t do this, Cameron, as you won’t let us have the money to do it, you’re too busy attacking the poor and protecting the rich to think about this, benefits being cut for the poor and nothing happening against the rich, as we all knew would happen. When he said this, none of is ball licking crew stood up with him and cheered with him for it, the only time they did was when he attacked labour in saying they done a poor job, if that was poor, then he is doing terrible.
Finally this week, the Commonwealth have kicked off in rather comical and seriously bad fashion. Not only was the games started with stadiums which weren’t finished, they were rushing for the two days before the tournament to get them finished, something which, ofcourse, never happened. The opening ceremony was comical as women were falling over and ruining routines [a woman falling off a guys shoulders when he was picking her up was something I was fortunate to see], the opening day of events saw 15,000 seater stadiums only being filled by about 100 people. All through the early hours of yesterday morning, the athletics track had to have its pot holes filled in, which had been created from the opening ceremony in time for the 100m sprint and 5000m race, I’m not talking small pot holes either, I’m talking very big ones. Today, no less than 15 British and Australian swimmers caught the “Delhi Belly” bug, the causes are unknown, and there are moths flying everywhere and the swimming pool was covered in them, these games are going downhill very slowly.
That’s your lot for this week, and it’s been a hell of a lot this week. The blog will be back to a weekly schedule from next week and I still wish to hear suggestions for the name of the blog and suggestions for what you want me to talk about and/or answer. Comments below are welcome. Thanks.

The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League both return, as well as the addition of the UEFA Super Cup and the Copa Libertadores [the posh way of saying the South American Champions League]. The game is completely revamped from last year and far different, and will take a lot of getting used to, even to the experienced PES player. If you wish to see any screenshots of the game, either Google them or look at the screenshots I have made myself of the Champions League, player faces and Master League in the link below.
Moving on from sport related things, I was listening to a late night radio phone in [on TalkSPORT [a British radio station]] and it was about 2 or 3 things but mainly the way our army soldiers are treated once they leave the army, and I think it’s disgraceful. During the army, they’re treated like kings and queens, which is how it should be [they’re putting their lives on the line for us] but once they come out the army, they’re left to fend for themselves like animals. When they leave the army [and ex-army soldiers were phoning in the show which confirms this], they’re technically classed as homeless. This means they can’t get benefits, they can’t get a job and they have no home [ofcourse], and having no benefits and/or job[s] means they can’t get money which means they can’t live. They’re forced to stay on friend’s couches and, according to one or two people phoning in, this is truly demoralising as most friends have kids and a wife and a happy family, yet they don’t have a home themselves. One caller said when they did finally get onto the property ladder, they would have had to wait 9-13 years for a home and they were getting no benefits from the council as the council didn’t want to help them. Is this the way we treat our army soldiers? Yet these illegal immigrants who come in get a job, benefits, a house and food all paid for them by us, why not our own? Our own, especially people who fight for our freedom and risk their own lives for us, should be treated much better than they are and be given priority [as all British should] over these immigrants. It is a disgrace to the nation and a disgrace on the government for not allowing the councils to help them.
The next discussion I’d like to bring to the table is the question of whether or not British people have lost their unique sense of humour. This all stems from a Facebook status I had last week which had an old British joke on which read:
‘Why did Hitler cry when he got to Heaven?’
‘God gave him his gas bill.’
Providing Hitler gets to Heaven, ofcourse, but anyway, I see no problem with this joke but I was later informed it was “hurtful against the Jews”, bollocks! It’s an attack against Hitler against what he done, and who wouldn’t want to attack Hitler for what he tried to do [and utterly failed at]? If this was a joke against a British person then no one would be arsed but it’s because it’s against someone else that it is. Imagine this scenario, have a look at this joke.
‘How do you starve a British drug addict?’
‘Hide his food vouchers in his work boots’.
Not offensive, ay? Now, let’s put it this way:
‘How do you starve an immigrant?’
‘Hide his food vouchers in his work boots’.
Now try this:
‘What have sperm and North England’s people got in common?’
‘Only one in one million actually work’.
Now this:
‘What have sperm and immigrants got in common?’
‘Only one in one million actually work’.
The first one would not be considered offensive, but the second one would. Why? Most of the times, jokes tell the truth in a comical way, sometimes it’s a stereotype, sometimes it’s just plainly a joke, would you consider an “Englishman, Irishman, Scottishman” joke to be offensive? I wouldn’t, so why anything else should be considered offensive, I’ll never know. It’s pretty pathetic from the Political Correctness brigade, let us have our Britishness back! It’s what makes us British, our humour.
The government are pissing about again we can see, with David Cameron’s laughable ‘Big Society’ campaign where he is basically telling us to do public sector jobs [Police, NHS [National Health Service], Fireman, even charity work] for free. No thanks, I wouldn’t want to do a full job, which is very hard work, for free. A quote from yesterday’s comedy club, I mean, er, Tory jungle club from Cameron was:
“So that great project in your community — go and lead it. The waste in government — go and find it. The new school in your neighbourhood — go and demand it. The beat meeting on your street — sign up. The neighbourhood group — join up. That business you always dreamed of — start up … Society is not a spectator sport. This is your country. It's time to believe it. It's time to step up and own it.”
We can’t do this, Cameron, as you won’t let us have the money to do it, you’re too busy attacking the poor and protecting the rich to think about this, benefits being cut for the poor and nothing happening against the rich, as we all knew would happen. When he said this, none of is ball licking crew stood up with him and cheered with him for it, the only time they did was when he attacked labour in saying they done a poor job, if that was poor, then he is doing terrible.
Finally this week, the Commonwealth have kicked off in rather comical and seriously bad fashion. Not only was the games started with stadiums which weren’t finished, they were rushing for the two days before the tournament to get them finished, something which, ofcourse, never happened. The opening ceremony was comical as women were falling over and ruining routines [a woman falling off a guys shoulders when he was picking her up was something I was fortunate to see], the opening day of events saw 15,000 seater stadiums only being filled by about 100 people. All through the early hours of yesterday morning, the athletics track had to have its pot holes filled in, which had been created from the opening ceremony in time for the 100m sprint and 5000m race, I’m not talking small pot holes either, I’m talking very big ones. Today, no less than 15 British and Australian swimmers caught the “Delhi Belly” bug, the causes are unknown, and there are moths flying everywhere and the swimming pool was covered in them, these games are going downhill very slowly.
That’s your lot for this week, and it’s been a hell of a lot this week. The blog will be back to a weekly schedule from next week and I still wish to hear suggestions for the name of the blog and suggestions for what you want me to talk about and/or answer. Comments below are welcome. Thanks.

Does My Arse Look Big In This Blog?
Rant Blog: [23/09/2010]
Does My Arse Look Big In This Blog?
Firstly, sorry for the no show last week, I was really ill and weren’t really in the mood for anything other than sleep. Normal service is resumed this week, though, with your usual crap talking, nonsense speaking, non-racist chanting fun! Secondly, onto this week’s blog.
I start this week with a question. What the bloody be-Jesus is going on with Liverpool? A dull 0-0 with Birmingham 2 weeks ago in an absolute disastrous display, followed by a 4-1 win over a pub team at home, followed by a 3-2 bollocking by Howard Webb’s, I mean er, Fergie’s Man Utd, a game in which Man Utd should definitely had at least 1 player sent off, and then humiliated last night by Northampton Town at HOME...
How did John O’Shea not get sent off for Man Utd on his challenge on Torres? He was the last man.. Surely a red card... Also, Nani should’ve been sent off for his persistent, and blatantly fucking obvious, diving. I see Fergie was quick to attack Torres for him trying to get O’Shea sent off but refused to say about Nani’s diving. Nani was a fucking disgrace on that pitch. Why Howard Webb never sent him off I’ll never know. Where did he think he was...? The World Cup final?
Not to be one to miss out on the obvious, what the bloody hell is going on with Fernando Torres? I’m not one to believe in this “he’s had no support” crap, he’s had many times on the ball where you look back on the old Torres and you think “he’d have buried that”, what’s happened now? All of a sudden we’ve been dumped with his fat cousin or something and the real Torres is having a “session” with David Villa at Barcelona or something?
Uncle Woy needs to drop the unworkable 4-2-3-1 and go more attacking, especially at home against teams like West Brom. 4-4-2 will work the trick, drop Lucas and Poulsen and throw Raul Meireles in the middle with Stevie with Ryan Babel up with Torres. Why Babel isn’t getting a look in properly I’ll never know. Another thing is to tell Carragher to stop hitting the ball up long, time and time again I see him do it and we’ve never won the ball nor posed an attacking threat through it... We need the ball on the floor in possession, rather than up long towards our front line who will never, ever get it nor ever look like getting it. Is there anything you don’t like about the way Liverpool play or anything you want to praise them about, comments below.
Moving on to the next part of the countdown of the 2010 World Cup’s Most Shocking Moments, on the last blog we mentioned numbers 50 to 41. They were:
50) Fabio Capello.
49) Holland’s “Dirty” Football.
48) Joachim Low.
47) Diego Maradona [His charismatic side].
46) Theo Walcott.
45) Emanuel Eboue.
44) Ray Domenech.
43) Cristiano Ronaldo.
42) ITV HD.
41) South Africa’s first goal.
I would move on to 40 to 31 but I seem to have lost the list and can’t find it online... It’s a mistake on my behalf and I’ll try and see if I can recover it in the next few days. I reformatted my laptop so I lost everything. Normal service on this will, hopefully, be resumed next week.
We move onto the business of the Muslims again, this week. The bastards are back and, what a surprise, they’re doing something ridiculous again. A religion of PEACE?! Ok, not when you see that a band of them, naming themselves ‘Muslims Against Crusades”, were protesting at the Pope at the weekend. Although I’m not a fan of the Pope, nor the £20m it cost us, the tax payer, [instead of the Church who should’ve took this money from their own pockets] to see him come over here, to attack another religion is ridiculous. Now, no one give me the “Muslim is a peaceful religion”, don’t try and fill my brain with bollocks, I won’t be mind fucked as the Muslims themselves have been. I see past the lies of them bastards and they’re bums just trying to take over the world, yet we know it won’t happen, I’ll have more luck punching Allah and Mohamed in the face than that happening. Chants of “Watch your back Pope Benedict”, “Worship Allah” and “We’ll free the lands of evil” all shout out to me that these are desperate people in a desperate religion which is seeking attention so badly that it is trying to flog a dead donkey as a healthy horse. Islam will soon be like Latin, dead.
I was happy to see that the French government have finally got round to banning the Burka. This is the one and only time I’ll ever envy the French in what they do. This government needs to take note and do the same. We shouldn’t be scared of this as it won’t make us racist, it’ll just tell the world that we’re a catholic/protestant country and we will stick to that. Don’t give me this “We’re a multi cultural country” crap, bollocks to that, we’re Christians and always will be. We really need to take the bull by the horns on this one and ban what I believe to be the ugliest thing created since Victoria Beckham. Ban the fucking thing and be done with it, make us all happy. I have no time for the silly looking thing and refuse to accept that people can wear that in a bank and yet we can’t wear a bike helmet, it’s the same liability, so why the difference? I also always wondered why we can’t have a white man’s award, like the Mobo’s but for white people, and then I remembered that we’d be called racist. Yeah ok.. By the way, remember the guy, the Pastor, who said he’d burn the Koran on 9/11? Yeah.. Well what about the guy who declared an “International Burn An American Flag” day. Link below!
Also, Britain has 17 times MORE Sharia law courts than first thought. 85! That’s 85 more than there should be! Why are we allowing this when we have our OWN law system? They live in this country so they live by OUR rules, not their own.
Finally this week, new laws in driving could mean that people aged 25 and below who pass their test could still be banned from driving at night. Also, they’ll be banned from having people 25 and below in their cars until they have experience of driving. Ridiculous idea, surely the idea would be to learn to drive as we do know or suffer the consequences later. This government needs its priorities sorting out [Kicking out Muslims > Silly Driving Laws].
That’s your lot this week, I’ll try and sort out the countdown thing and see where we get with that next week. Comments below as usual.

“Does this blog make me look fat?” blog
Rant Blog: [10/09/2010]
“Does this blog make me look fat?” blog
Well sorry for not having a blog for over 2 weeks, I’ve been busy sorting out college and other things at home. After seeing the last blog’s [dare I say it] success, I thought I’d bring things back down to earth this week whilst still doing my promised bumper issue to make up for the no show last week. With that being said, let’s move onto this weeks blog.
Firstly this week, after England beat Bulgaria 4-0 and Switzerland 3-1 [showing Spain how it’s done], the media is still on Fabio Capello’s back. Why?! Oh wait, they still haven’t got over the World Cup, that’s why. It’s over, it’s been over for weeks, and even so, it weren’t Mr Cap’s [my new name for him maybe?] fault, it was the “London Mafia’s” fault, namely being John Terry and, partly, Frank Lampard’s fault. Be it from Terry spouting lies to the media about the team after the Algeria game to him and Lampard being jealous of Stevie G for being captain. It was a Lampard and Terry vs Gerrard and Carragher situation, and I know which pair I’d rather have in my team. Moving on from that, Capello has taken the blame for the disappointing campaign, despite it not all being his fault, and yet he still wasn’t respected for that. He has came out in the last week or so saying he will step down after Euro 2012 and an English manager will replace him [English managers tending to be shit... Oh dear]. At the time of him being appointed, he was [and still is] the best coach in the world.
After the Switzerland game, he said that Terry, Lampard and Ferdinand will all have to try extremely well to get back into the team, any other coach would shit themselves and say “oh no, these three have to be in the team”, no, no they don’t. I don’t want any of them three to ever play for England again. Rooney should also be dropped until he wants to play for England and be replaced by Crouch. Milner should be dropped as he is a winger who can’t cross a ball and Joe Cole should start in his place. If we use this philosophy, we can win Euro 2012 [call me hopeful, but our team is far too good not to be considered contenders if we play like we usually do]. If the media don’t stalk the team in tournaments every single minute of the day then we might not flop.
There was discussion of Mikel Arteta potentially playing for England because he has played in England for 5 years and not represented Spain [his nation of birth]. UEFA [mainly Michael Platini, surprise surprise, he hates the English!] were quick to dismiss this saying something like “he never had a British passport when he represented the Spain Youth Team” or something like that. Ok, let’s look at other national teams who have had the same situation and been let off to do it, Portugal with Brazilian born Deco and Germany with Polish born strikers Lukas Podolski and Marislov Klose and Brazilian born Cacau. Discrimination against the English again I feel, anyway, I feel that England would suffer if a non-English player played for them and I want England to remain English with English players as this is the point of your national team, not finding loopholes to have other players in your squad. Manuel Almunia is another player who can potentially play for England but hell no, fuck that, I would never trust him in goal for England. Joe Hart all the way!
Moving on from Mr Caps, I want to say one word to all you fake Spanish supporters: “HAHAHAHAHA!” Simply because you support the Spanish because you claim “you support them because you like them”, no you’re basically supporting them for one/two reason/s. These reasons being either:
a) You want to shag one [or eleven!] of their players. Namely Fernando Torres, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, Bojan, David Villa etc.
b) You’re basically glory hunting, supporting them because they won Euro 2008 and then the World Cup 2010 [which they didn’t deserve].
The poor Spanish were rolled 4-1 by Argentina, showing they're an overrated, average team.
What’s wrong with people supporting their own national team or one of their family? I can’t accept “oh because England disappoints”, didn’t Spain do that every single time before 2008? They were one of the favourites for every tournament they entered and yet failed to produce, just like England? I, for one, do not accept that excuse.
Another thing I want to mention, for a bit of fun, is the countdown from 50 to 1 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup’s biggest shocks [this appearing on Britain’s BBC 3 show which I’d like to share and see what the people who don’t live in England and haven’t saw this think about it]. This week I count down from 50 to 41.
50: Fabio Capello
The man who would “deliver the World Cup” etc. Against Algeria, he bullied “Phsycho” Stuart Pearce, on the bench, and even moaning at the media for trying to take pictures through the windows of a building before the World Cup matches began.
49: Holland’s “Dirty” football
When you mention ‘World Cup 2010’ and ‘Holland’, people probably won’t remember them for being probably being the best team in the tournament, them beating Brazil 2-1 after being behind 0-1 behind, beating Uruguay 3-2 in a fantastic semi final or Gio van Bronckhorst’s fantastic goal vs Uruguay. Instead, they’ll be remembered for their so called “dirty football”, against Brazil in some tackles and the final vs Spain.
I personally think their tactics vs Spain were spot on. They stopped Spain playing and even had chances to win the final with Arjen Robben having 2 fantastic chances to score. If Holland had of won, they’d have easily deserved it.
48: Joachim Low [Germany Manager]
Joachim Low eating his own bogey from his nose. He didn’t half pick it well, then proceeds to roll it up a bit, then eats it. It shows that some people never grow up.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocT4O27onec
47: Diego Maradona’s charismatic nature
Diego was back and as energetic as always, despite finding a few extra pounds on his weight from those burgers, and drugs *cough* *cough*. Be it from hugging his players when they score or enter the field, to being asked by the English press if he had a thing for his players and him perhaps learning this as a player, his affection for others, the question being a joke, and Maradona ,then opening his eyes like he was possessed when asked, responding by saying he has a wife and kids and he only likes women haha.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA5fH7Xw9wI
46: Theo Walcott
Despite not going to the World Cup, he is still in this list, the media thinking Walcott should have gone to the World Cup. I would’ve agreed, had he not been injured for 3-4 months, getting back from injury about March/April and then having a torrid end of season. If he was on form, then yeah, he should definitely have gone. If I’d have known Rooney would’ve been that shit, I’d have moaned that Walcott should’ve gone instead of Rooney beforehand.
45: Ivory Coast’s Emanuel Eboue
Classic clip from the World Cup, where the North Korea manager is talking to one of his players and Emanuel Eboue stands near to them, listening in, and then having the cheak to nod his head, agreeing and walking off. Priceless!
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LFZJIm3mD0
44: Ray Domenech
It was a torrid campaign for the French and they refused to train after the Anelka debacle, the fitness coach had an argument with Evra and left the training pitch. Ray Domenech then had to read out a letter from the team about why they wouldn’t train, ultimate shame for Domenech. What made things worse for Domenech was when he refused to shake hands with the South African coach when France were beaten 2-1 in the final game and knocked out and sent home.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBQJPkyLPPA
43: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo was being talked up as bringing Portugal to new heights, how they were so wrong. The one thing Ronaldo will be remembered for is, not his goals, his spit at the camera when Portugal were beaten 1-0 by Spain. He told the camera man to back off, he never, so Ronaldo, being the dirty bastard he is, spat at him. Don’t worry Ronaldo, you can bag a winner with a prostitute.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L010TGqCVs
42: ITV HD missing England’s first goal vs America
‘ITV HD: See everything in the highest quality’, including the World Cup shows sponsor advert instead of England’s goal.. Poor by ITV, this being the second time they have done this when someone scores in a big game, they done it in 2009, too, when Gosling scored for Everton vs Liverpool in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay in the 118th minute.
Link for England missed goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjghz--qSMU
Link for Everton’s [almost] missed goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGCw0UjYR1I&feature=related
41: South Africa score the first goal of the World Cup on home soil
A great start for South Africa in the first World Cup held in Africa. Tshabalala putting South Africa ahead with a fantastic goal. They went on to draw 1-1 with the Mexican’s.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEJwrVHR06I&feature=related [I chose this version because the commentary makes the goal so much more special].
Number's 40 - 31 next week.
The silly Yanks believe that American Football [Gridiron] is better than Rugby. Let’s just say “What the fuck are you yanks playing at?” I’ll call ‘American football’ Gridiron from now, as that’s what we call it as it’s not technically football, you don’t kick the ball much. Gridiron, a game where fat people run at each other in armour, wait, in armour? Which faggots play sports in armour? Oh yeah, that’s it, Americans!... Don’t give me the “oh they’re keeping safe”, Rugby uses no armour whatsoever apart from a cup to cover their bollocks, that’s it. Put a Gridiron player against a Rugby player, and the Rugby player will outrun and outmuscle a Gridiron player. In Gridiron, it’s a stop/start game, hence why they look healthy, because they’re always having breaks, in Rugby it’s non stop unless there is a blood injury or a broken bone, like football. There was an old story where the British offered the Americans a game of Rugby vs Gridiron, where the British used what they wore in Rugby and Americans what they wore in Gridiron and they’d have a half of Rugby and 2 quarters [or whatever half the time of Gridiron is] and see who won, and the American’s refused because they were too scared. Rugby beats any sport the American can think of, it’s almost [and I mean almost] as good as football.
Finally this week, Big Brother is FINALLY off our TV, finally, finally, finally! What a shit program that is, twats who want fame on TV by being dumped in a house for 3 months. The only way we’d get great entertainment from that show is if we put all the government in that house and throw away the key! Finally it’s gone.
Sorry for the delay in the blog, but all is back to normal now. Comments by anyone are welcome and please try to be friendly haha.

Well sorry for not having a blog for over 2 weeks, I’ve been busy sorting out college and other things at home. After seeing the last blog’s [dare I say it] success, I thought I’d bring things back down to earth this week whilst still doing my promised bumper issue to make up for the no show last week. With that being said, let’s move onto this weeks blog.
Firstly this week, after England beat Bulgaria 4-0 and Switzerland 3-1 [showing Spain how it’s done], the media is still on Fabio Capello’s back. Why?! Oh wait, they still haven’t got over the World Cup, that’s why. It’s over, it’s been over for weeks, and even so, it weren’t Mr Cap’s [my new name for him maybe?] fault, it was the “London Mafia’s” fault, namely being John Terry and, partly, Frank Lampard’s fault. Be it from Terry spouting lies to the media about the team after the Algeria game to him and Lampard being jealous of Stevie G for being captain. It was a Lampard and Terry vs Gerrard and Carragher situation, and I know which pair I’d rather have in my team. Moving on from that, Capello has taken the blame for the disappointing campaign, despite it not all being his fault, and yet he still wasn’t respected for that. He has came out in the last week or so saying he will step down after Euro 2012 and an English manager will replace him [English managers tending to be shit... Oh dear]. At the time of him being appointed, he was [and still is] the best coach in the world.
After the Switzerland game, he said that Terry, Lampard and Ferdinand will all have to try extremely well to get back into the team, any other coach would shit themselves and say “oh no, these three have to be in the team”, no, no they don’t. I don’t want any of them three to ever play for England again. Rooney should also be dropped until he wants to play for England and be replaced by Crouch. Milner should be dropped as he is a winger who can’t cross a ball and Joe Cole should start in his place. If we use this philosophy, we can win Euro 2012 [call me hopeful, but our team is far too good not to be considered contenders if we play like we usually do]. If the media don’t stalk the team in tournaments every single minute of the day then we might not flop.
There was discussion of Mikel Arteta potentially playing for England because he has played in England for 5 years and not represented Spain [his nation of birth]. UEFA [mainly Michael Platini, surprise surprise, he hates the English!] were quick to dismiss this saying something like “he never had a British passport when he represented the Spain Youth Team” or something like that. Ok, let’s look at other national teams who have had the same situation and been let off to do it, Portugal with Brazilian born Deco and Germany with Polish born strikers Lukas Podolski and Marislov Klose and Brazilian born Cacau. Discrimination against the English again I feel, anyway, I feel that England would suffer if a non-English player played for them and I want England to remain English with English players as this is the point of your national team, not finding loopholes to have other players in your squad. Manuel Almunia is another player who can potentially play for England but hell no, fuck that, I would never trust him in goal for England. Joe Hart all the way!
Moving on from Mr Caps, I want to say one word to all you fake Spanish supporters: “HAHAHAHAHA!” Simply because you support the Spanish because you claim “you support them because you like them”, no you’re basically supporting them for one/two reason/s. These reasons being either:
a) You want to shag one [or eleven!] of their players. Namely Fernando Torres, Sergio Ramos, Iker Casillas, Bojan, David Villa etc.
b) You’re basically glory hunting, supporting them because they won Euro 2008 and then the World Cup 2010 [which they didn’t deserve].
The poor Spanish were rolled 4-1 by Argentina, showing they're an overrated, average team.
What’s wrong with people supporting their own national team or one of their family? I can’t accept “oh because England disappoints”, didn’t Spain do that every single time before 2008? They were one of the favourites for every tournament they entered and yet failed to produce, just like England? I, for one, do not accept that excuse.
Another thing I want to mention, for a bit of fun, is the countdown from 50 to 1 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup’s biggest shocks [this appearing on Britain’s BBC 3 show which I’d like to share and see what the people who don’t live in England and haven’t saw this think about it]. This week I count down from 50 to 41.
50: Fabio Capello
The man who would “deliver the World Cup” etc. Against Algeria, he bullied “Phsycho” Stuart Pearce, on the bench, and even moaning at the media for trying to take pictures through the windows of a building before the World Cup matches began.
49: Holland’s “Dirty” football
When you mention ‘World Cup 2010’ and ‘Holland’, people probably won’t remember them for being probably being the best team in the tournament, them beating Brazil 2-1 after being behind 0-1 behind, beating Uruguay 3-2 in a fantastic semi final or Gio van Bronckhorst’s fantastic goal vs Uruguay. Instead, they’ll be remembered for their so called “dirty football”, against Brazil in some tackles and the final vs Spain.
I personally think their tactics vs Spain were spot on. They stopped Spain playing and even had chances to win the final with Arjen Robben having 2 fantastic chances to score. If Holland had of won, they’d have easily deserved it.
48: Joachim Low [Germany Manager]
Joachim Low eating his own bogey from his nose. He didn’t half pick it well, then proceeds to roll it up a bit, then eats it. It shows that some people never grow up.

47: Diego Maradona’s charismatic nature
Diego was back and as energetic as always, despite finding a few extra pounds on his weight from those burgers, and drugs *cough* *cough*. Be it from hugging his players when they score or enter the field, to being asked by the English press if he had a thing for his players and him perhaps learning this as a player, his affection for others, the question being a joke, and Maradona ,then opening his eyes like he was possessed when asked, responding by saying he has a wife and kids and he only likes women haha.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA5fH7Xw9wI
46: Theo Walcott
Despite not going to the World Cup, he is still in this list, the media thinking Walcott should have gone to the World Cup. I would’ve agreed, had he not been injured for 3-4 months, getting back from injury about March/April and then having a torrid end of season. If he was on form, then yeah, he should definitely have gone. If I’d have known Rooney would’ve been that shit, I’d have moaned that Walcott should’ve gone instead of Rooney beforehand.
45: Ivory Coast’s Emanuel Eboue
Classic clip from the World Cup, where the North Korea manager is talking to one of his players and Emanuel Eboue stands near to them, listening in, and then having the cheak to nod his head, agreeing and walking off. Priceless!
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LFZJIm3mD0
44: Ray Domenech
It was a torrid campaign for the French and they refused to train after the Anelka debacle, the fitness coach had an argument with Evra and left the training pitch. Ray Domenech then had to read out a letter from the team about why they wouldn’t train, ultimate shame for Domenech. What made things worse for Domenech was when he refused to shake hands with the South African coach when France were beaten 2-1 in the final game and knocked out and sent home.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBQJPkyLPPA
43: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo was being talked up as bringing Portugal to new heights, how they were so wrong. The one thing Ronaldo will be remembered for is, not his goals, his spit at the camera when Portugal were beaten 1-0 by Spain. He told the camera man to back off, he never, so Ronaldo, being the dirty bastard he is, spat at him. Don’t worry Ronaldo, you can bag a winner with a prostitute.

42: ITV HD missing England’s first goal vs America
‘ITV HD: See everything in the highest quality’, including the World Cup shows sponsor advert instead of England’s goal.. Poor by ITV, this being the second time they have done this when someone scores in a big game, they done it in 2009, too, when Gosling scored for Everton vs Liverpool in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay in the 118th minute.
Link for England missed goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjghz--qSMU
Link for Everton’s [almost] missed goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGCw0UjYR1I&feature=related
41: South Africa score the first goal of the World Cup on home soil
A great start for South Africa in the first World Cup held in Africa. Tshabalala putting South Africa ahead with a fantastic goal. They went on to draw 1-1 with the Mexican’s.
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEJwrVHR06I&feature=related [I chose this version because the commentary makes the goal so much more special].
Number's 40 - 31 next week.
The silly Yanks believe that American Football [Gridiron] is better than Rugby. Let’s just say “What the fuck are you yanks playing at?” I’ll call ‘American football’ Gridiron from now, as that’s what we call it as it’s not technically football, you don’t kick the ball much. Gridiron, a game where fat people run at each other in armour, wait, in armour? Which faggots play sports in armour? Oh yeah, that’s it, Americans!... Don’t give me the “oh they’re keeping safe”, Rugby uses no armour whatsoever apart from a cup to cover their bollocks, that’s it. Put a Gridiron player against a Rugby player, and the Rugby player will outrun and outmuscle a Gridiron player. In Gridiron, it’s a stop/start game, hence why they look healthy, because they’re always having breaks, in Rugby it’s non stop unless there is a blood injury or a broken bone, like football. There was an old story where the British offered the Americans a game of Rugby vs Gridiron, where the British used what they wore in Rugby and Americans what they wore in Gridiron and they’d have a half of Rugby and 2 quarters [or whatever half the time of Gridiron is] and see who won, and the American’s refused because they were too scared. Rugby beats any sport the American can think of, it’s almost [and I mean almost] as good as football.
Finally this week, Big Brother is FINALLY off our TV, finally, finally, finally! What a shit program that is, twats who want fame on TV by being dumped in a house for 3 months. The only way we’d get great entertainment from that show is if we put all the government in that house and throw away the key! Finally it’s gone.
Sorry for the delay in the blog, but all is back to normal now. Comments by anyone are welcome and please try to be friendly haha.

Women Rant
Rant Blog: [26/08/2010]
Women Rant:
After last week’s football-engrossed blog, this week I have a subject that some people [probably males] will find funny, whilst the women will probably get a cob on and bitch to me about how they’re not like the stereotypical woman. Let’s be honest, ALL women are the same! This being said onto today’s blog.
I say this because all women are similar in so many ways... The main similarity with women is the bitching... I’ve not known one woman to not bitch over something, no matter how small it is, all women do it. The most comical one being: “OH MY GOD! Oh my word... Oh my fucking word... There are two spoons in the knife compartment!” Yes, I’ve actually heard someone say that, no word of a lie. They bitch about anything and everything, it’s true. It could be the smallest thing in the world and they’ll bitch. Men sit down and don’t give a shit. Here’s a scenario: If the TV fell off the stand and broke. A man’s reaction would probably be “oh, we’ll just buy a new one in the morning”, a woman’s response? Along the lines of “oh my fucking god, how are we gonna pay for this? I wanted new shoes, a new dress, a new pair of earrings and a new diet” [forgetting a new straight jacket sometimes too].
Women, also, tend to overreact far too easily, too much, all the time. You’d almost think they were passionate over having a moan at why there are unwashed plates in the sink. Women even have conversations without you which are quite unique, they talk to you and then either say a response back to themselves [which they assume we’d say [but never would]] or they’ll keep talking as if you did answer... It would be fun to see how a woman’s mind worked, full of list of things to do, shopping and how to wreck your head for a 10th consecutive day. Have you ever saw a woman’s reaction when they see the smallest crumb in the world on the carpet? Fuck, they hit the roof! It’s like North Korea have just set a bomb off or Michael Owen has agreed to play for Liverpool in Carragher’ testimonial [oh wait, one of them is going to happen, the other might do as well]...
I also hate the way women moan at us [males] for our “bad habits”. I’m sorry, but if women think they’re perfect and never do any “bad habits” then more fool them... I’m not just talking about picking your nose or having a farting contest with your son, I’m on about things like the shit they watch on TV or the shit they read... Women moan over us watching football too much on TV, I’d say I watch about 5-6 hours of football a week, but compare that to a woman... They watch hours and hours of shit TV shows every day [Eastenders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, Gossip Girl, Twilight [ok, that’s a film but oh well], The Bill and many more shit]! Another thing is throughout the day, you ask them ‘are you ok?’, 99/100 they’ll say I’m fine and then, just as you’re about to sleep in bed, they go on and on about how they’re feeling, right as you’re about to have a good sleep... Why?! We’ve been asking you all day..
Another, major(!), habit of women is to never compliment another women, yet instead they choose to nitpick over them to make themselves look better, from things like weight to hairstyle. Only a woman could notice that a woman’s purse doesn’t match her shoes and make it sound as if the world is going to end at any given moment. If you even mention another woman’s name who she doesn’t even know [could be a co-worker at work, a friend of a friend or a long lost relative], they’ll tense up and act as if you’re the bad person and that all of a sudden something is going on. You think of the same to them and they flip a lid and start pulling out the stocks to deny it.
Women, remember this one! Males are no good at helping a woman crying on their shoulder... Women cry over all sorts, sad films, happy films, breaking a nail, bad haircuts, the lot! If it’s anything we suck at, we suck at that! If you’re gonna cry, at least make it worth it! Don’t cry over every little thing.
“Give women the ammunition and they’ll shoot you”, good advice this. This meaning that anything you ask them, will probably lead them off into a 45 minute ramble. If we ask them ‘how was your day?’ they’ll ramble on and on for ages. We only want to know if it was ok, that’s all. It’s not that we don’t care it’s just that we don’t want to know about every last bit of detail.
The biggest, most annoying, most energy draining habit they do is SHOPPING! Yes, that 8 letter word... If I could suggest one thing that would give you an idea of how hell is like, shopping would be that... For most women, there are not enough hours in the year, never mind the week, to fit in how much shopping they want to do. They sit there admiring everything, even down to how good the price tag looks [which to me is horrifying as they never go for the cheap stuff, always this “name” product where you’re paying 80% money towards the logo on the piece of clothing rather than the clothing itself].
Women think they’re god’s gift too... Have you saw a man on an iron board? Holy fuck... They take forever to get all the creases out.. A woman does it and it takes 2 seconds and it’s done, waiting to be worn, acting like it’s just been mugged.. Also, what’s this about women can multitask? Ok, they can... But they’re still no better than a man at it.. A man will do one job at a time and do it well, women will do 10 jobs at once and never finish them or they finish them but not very well, or get pissed off and tell you to do it.
All in all, women are the most confusing things on the planet.. How their minds work I’ll never know...
Moving on a bit to Liverpool and their disastrous display, despite getting the result, last night. Uncle Woy, certainly must start to wonder why he doesn’t start Ryan Babel... As soon as he came on last night, he set up a goal with his first touch of the ball. Against Man City, he came on and ran at City’s defenders and forced Joe Hart into a good save about 2 minutes after he came on. He is lethal and has done more than Torres and N’Gog. Don’t tell me about N’Gog’s 4 goals in 6 games, I don’t give a damn. 3 of them were against a pub team, and he is offside at least a million times a game. Torres just hasn’t done anything and looks less than a third of the player we had, if he is like this for the rest of the season [which I highly doubt, given a few more weeks] then I’ll be extremely gutted we never took then £50m+ being spouted about in the papers.
Also, why have you let Aquilani go on loan to Juventus? Yet, have the likes of Lucas playing, still. Aquilani is very talented and shown that in his hand full of games last season, yet is still being called a flop despite not having many chances, which is very unfair. We’ve basically given Alberto away and got Poulsen in who is looking sluggish. I hope to god Mascherano leaves, in all honesty, as not playing for Liverpool [who he is still under contract with and should play to that contract until it expires or he leaves] against Man City was a total disrespect to Liverpool. Why didn’t he play? You can’t get cup-tied or anything by playing in the league and your excuse of ‘my family can’t adapt to living in England’ doesn’t cut it with me. If they can’t cope in England then how do you know they’ll cope in Spain or Italy? If you was going back to Argentina then fair enough, but no, we all know you want to go to Inter or Barcelona, it’s the worst kept secret in football at the moment.
I still have the utmost confidence in Roy Hodgson and firmly believe he will be a success at the club.
My prediction for the game against against West Brom is:
Liverpool 4-0 West Brom. [at least]
We need a good, firm win with lots of goals to get confidence and West Brom have come at the best time, especially at home, Scott Carson looks terrible and Chelsea have already run riot against them, it’s a must win for Liverpool.
Thanks for reading, need a subject for next week so suggestions needed. Comments below.

I have no name for this blog blog
Rant Blog: [19/08/2010]
“I have no name for this blog” blog:
Just to start off by saying [about last week’s topic] to look at the comments section in last week’s blog, it shows you examples of why I feel so strongly about what I say. From things from St. George and his flag being “anti-Muslim” to “20 things you must know about Islam”. Interesting read I’m sure you’ll agree. Anyway, onto this week’s blog.
I’ll start off this week by talking about the level of goalkeeping that was on show in the opening weekend of the Premier League last weekend. The league kicked off with Tottenham vs Man City with Joe Hart having a game to remember it seems. I doubt he will have a better game than that, all sounds good for the new England number 1. Pulling off fantastic saves that even Pepe Reina would be proud of. Then we get to the games after that and we see a whole host of goalkeeping howlers that would make Robert Green’s mistake against the USA look like it was intended. Tim Howard gifted Blackburn a goal which will make America think twice about giving shit about howlers [No you never beat us you silly bastards, you drew 1-1, you never “won 1-1”, silly uneducated people, gotta love karma]. Then we get to Chris Kirkland and his comical [well the whole team was comical in all honesty] display and I still will never know how Blackpool’s 4th goal went in, a keeper being beaten at his near post like that needs to be shot.
The later 5:30 kick off between Chelsea and West Brom saw Scott Carson, who was once though of as England’s future number 1 keeper (remember that?) [other such keepers in this bracket included Richard Wright, Chris Kirkland and even Stuart Taylor a few years ago] have a day he will want to forget forever! Chelsea’s first goal, he fumbled with the ball like it was a hot piece of coal and the second goal [not all his fault] the wall broke apart and he was beaten at his near post.
Now I move onto the comedic Arsenal goal in which [if you haven’t saw it already] was quite funny but at the same time guttering as we was minutes away from starting off with a win in the league. There was a comment from a person, not someone I know, who claimed he should have been shot for what he done, but let’s not forget that, although this may be a biased opinion [but I’ll back it up soon], he is the best keeper in the world, if not then definitely one of them. You can say to me “oh but look at Iker Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech, Edwin van der Sar, Shay Given, Jussi Jaaskelainen etc” but give me a choice of which keeper I would want to have in my team, I’d choose Pepe Reina any day of the year.
My point for saying why I choose Reina is this; Casillas is not the keeper everyone makes him out to be, he used to be, sure, but not now. Look at him in the World Cup, flapping around and costing his team goals [remember Spain 0-1 Switzerland?] and even his home town, Madrid, had a vote in who should play in goal and 97% said they prefer Pepe Reina. Also, look at Real Madrid’s team, no wonder he keeps so many clean sheets because the team is the best compared to the rest of the league [apart from Barcelona] due to the Spanish league being a poor league apart from the 2 major teams, Villarreal and Valencia are not as good as they once were.
Other keepers like Petr Cech, Buffon and co. well... Petr Cech has not been good in the slightest since he got that knock on his head [and still won’t take that Rugby cap off], Gianluigi is too old and not as good as he was in his prime... Shay Given is fantastic but I would still rate him second best to Reina. Joe Hart needs to improve his distribution to be in contention. Van der Sar is far too old to even think about. Any other keepers I may not have mentioned please name below on the comment section below.
Look at the amounts of times Reina has saved Liverpool’s arse, especially last season. Best penalty stopper in the world and was breaking Liverpool records when he came here and he only cost £7m [one of Rafa’s [few] great signings]. I’ll link something videos below to prove what I mean.
Gutted about my prediction last weekend [Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal] being wrong but I was majorly happy [as I said I would be last week] with the draw but gutted in the way we conceded the goal.
Moving on to a few games [for the Xbox 360 [and PS3 too]] with it being Gamescon week that I’d like to mention and recommend to people, starting with Gears of War 3 and the final piece in the Gears of War trilogy. The graphics look fantastic, a new game mode called Beast mode which looks fantastic and even female gears! The game is out in April 2011 on Xbox 360 only.
Another game I’m looking forward to [call me a fanboy if you wish] is Dragonball: Raging Blast 2. It includes 90 characters, new fighting arenas, 20 new characters from RB 1, 6 new characters that have never been on a DB game before and a newly animated 30 minute movie, previously called the “lost episode” as it’s never been dubbed in English before.
PES 2011 is another game I’m looking forward to as well. New licenses include the Copa Libertadores and the UEFA Super Cup, adding onto the already claimed licenses for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. Anfield looks set to not be in the game, Liverpool FC have lost their license, but there is now no more limited saving space [preciously limited by PES save slot] and now only limited to the size of your hard drive. The Stadium Creator looks immense and I’m increasingly pleased [in a laughing way] at the extra content on the game, look at the latest trailer at the end for it [link below] to see what I mean. Move over FIFA, you’re still second best.
The last thing I have to say, really, now is how I think Liverpool will get on, starting with tonight [and the news that Ryan Babel starts up front, watch him roll the goals in!]. My predictions:
Liverpool 4-0 Trabzonspor
Man City 1-3 Liverpool
Yes I’m hopeful but I truly believe Roy Hodgson has made a huge difference now, just unfortunate that Joe Cole got himself sent off despite his tackle not being as bad as Jack Wilshire’s on Javier Mascherano and another tackle which I actually can’t remember now, I think it was Tomas Rosicky.

Immigrant blog
Rant Blog: [14/07/2010]
Immigrant Rant:
Sorry about the blog being late but I’ve felt a bit sick in the last day or two. This week I touch on, what some people may think, is a sensitive subject but something I want to, and was bound to, talk about. If you’re not easily offended, read on, if you are, perhaps read on anyway, although I won’t be offending anyone who doesn’t come under this category, so although I might be attacking a certain group of people, don’t automatically assume I’m saying it’s you unless I personally say names. If you think you’re being offended, then the only person offending you is yourself. Anyway, moving on to this week’s blog.
I talk, this week, about the subject about immigration and the way a certain group of people try and change this country to suit them. This group of people are a group of Muslims. This does NOT mean all Muslims, to think that would be pathetic. I just mean the certain few who rally up and march for what they want and cause pain and suffering for something which is nothing more than a religion, a belief!
Now, I don’t mind them coming over here, by all means, I’m not as narrow minded as the British National Party, but what I do not want is them changing the way we live. They’ve come into this country with, what seems to be, a list of demands. We want Sharia Law, we want a free house, we want a job and we want free money. No, no, no! We can’t demand this, so you shouldn’t be able to either.
People might say “oh but they’re looking for a better standard of living”. Ok, imagine this: Imagine, let’s say, Pakistan is in a strong economical position like Britain and Britain is in the same position as Pakistan, yet both countries keep the laws they have now. We go over to Pakistan and do the same as they do here, take jobs, houses, money, we’d basically be told to fuck off.
Why are they so adamant to get their own way? I’ll tell you why, because they’re the new type of Nazi’s. They want the whole world to be like them. The whole world to follow this Muhammad dude. I, for one, will never, ever be a Muslim.
Why do we let these people get away with what they do? They march, they riot, they bomb. Why are these people allowed to stay in the country? They adopt East London as their own. It’s not! It’s ours! They say things like “What are you doing in a Muslim only area?” FUCK YOU! This is our area! If anything, what are you doing in our area? They have Muslim only banks, Muslim only buses, Muslim only schools... Ridiculous... If we done that, we’d be called racists. Why is our government full of shit houses? Sort it out!
They say they come over here and do the jobs that no one wants, well at this moment in time, people here would take any job. Give the British people priority with everything! When people come over here, don’t give them a house straight away, if they have no family here to live with, it’s tough, they have to stay where they can, like we do. We have to wait years sometimes for a house whilst these bastards get a house that is paid for by us, the tax payer! Like when a Somali asylum seeker family was given a £2m house after he complained his 5 bed house was in a “poor area”. He has since been kicked out thankfully. Full story link below.
I’ve saw videos on YouTube, including a news report from CNN, have shown how much Muslims want to change this country, including threats of more violence if they don’t get their way. Their belief that anyone who isn’t Muslim is a “worthless and valueless dog”, why are we letting these people stay in this country? Their belief that Muhammad rules everyone, that everyone should respect him, nonsense. Jews don’t go around telling you what to do, Catholics don’t go around making you believe in Jesus, who are Muslims to go round, threatening violence, and tell us who to believe in.
They’re making threats that Islam will take over the world, no it won’t. It won’t even take over England. The way a Muslim, Tohseef Shah, defaced a British War Memorial was disgusting and yet our shit house prosecution service decided he wasn’t racially motivated despite writing the words “Islam will dominate the world - Osama is on his way” and threatening to kill our Prime Minister [at the time, Gordon Brown]. How can you say he wasn’t racially motivated? Surely the words ‘Islam’ and ‘dominate’ tell you something. I’d have thrown him out the country for that. If that is not evidence of racial hate then what is?
There was a news story, 2 weeks or so ago, that told of 9 men abducting a non-Muslim 14 year old girl and forcing her into prostitution for their own benefits. Is this what we want in this, or any other, country? Muslim people can just think they can rape non-Muslim people because they’re “worthless and valueless” to them. Maybe they rape under age girls because their beloved Muhammad married a 9 year old, I don’t know. It’s ok them raping and/or abusing non-Muslim women but it’s not ok for us to look at their wives without them being covered in bed sheets.
Which brings me on to another point and it is of that pathetic burqa covering. Why oh why have we not banned this? If Syria, a Muslim country, can do it then we must do it too, otherwise let me walk into a bank with a bike helmet on or let me walk into a shop with a hood on. The problems this burqa, and I’m talking about the covering over the face more than anything else, is astonishing. A man robbed a jewellery store with one on, on CCTV you can’t identify the person. It’s an absolute sham wearing one. It’s not even part of Muslim belief, it’s a silly Islam rule and it is not religious in any way. If I ever have a shop, I would ban having a burqa on and I would be proud of having that rule because, if I never, it would cause me problems.
I’d like to move onto the point of Muslims wanting to bring in Sharia Law. The cutting off of your hand if you rob, no thanks, that’s like some sick, sadistic law. The segregation of men and women, that’s just sad, what’s wrong with having men and women together? What... You think a mass orgy might kick off or something? Rather sad... Freedom of speech is also limited, included criticism of Muhammad [I’d be fucked on that one] and is punishable by death. Gay/lesbian affairs are also prohibited. Ok, I’m straight myself but I don’t agree with banning gay/lesbian affairs as it is one’s choice as to who they like. If someone likes another person of the same sex, who cares? It’s their private life.
Finally, before I give you a few links to videos that might interest you, a new law has been brought in, absolutely fucking ridiculously, by the government that has allowed Muslim men with more than 1 wife [which is pathetically allowed in their religion] can gain benefits for each wife they have. A Muslim with 4 spouses could receive up to £10,000 a year on income support alone.

Finally, I’ll give a prediction on tomorrow’s Liverpool vs Arsenal game just because I can. I would be happy with a draw, but I’ll stick my neck out for a 2-1 Liverpool victory.

No Name Blog!
Weekly Blog: [05/08/2010]
Guess who is back:
Well after a week away, I was surprised by how many stories you can find to talk about. This week alone I’ve found at least 21 different issues to talk about and I’ll try to talk about them all, at least partially, in today’s blog.
Sorry for all those people who missed me whilst I was away haha. I’m back now, though, and you could say this is a bumper issue blog. Anyway, enough of that, onto today’s blog.
The first issue to raise today is, ofcourse, the issue of the “bid” to buy Liverpol FC from the Chineseman, Kenny Huang. Although, yesterday, he came out and said that no formal bid has been made for Liverpool FC. The news being reported today, on the BBC Sport website, is that the Chinese government has been linked with a move for Liverpool FC.
There is one small issue with this Kenny Huang. Although Liverpool fans are desperate for Liverpool to be sold from the cowboys, we must be careful not to sell to any old person just to get rid of the Americans. This Kenny Huang is reasonably unknown, although he claims he has a rich family behind him. He said he will take the debts from RBS [Royal Bank of Scotland] and pay off the debts, but if we give the debts to someone unknown, who knows what might happen with that debt.
Moving on from that story to another story about Liverpool which was their game vs Rabotnicki last week. Ok, it was mainly the youngsters (taking away the fairly experienced backline) but it wasn’t the best viewing ever. Although, our main team is yet to play a full game together and, ofcourse, everyone is expecting them to play better as we’re sure they will. Rabotnicki fans are also being looked into for “racist” comments about Liverpool’s players. Despite this, we won 2-0 which is all we asked for (not the result, but the win), let’s see how we fair tonight with our bigger players playing.
I’m very happy with the news of us resigning Fabio Aurelio after releasing him (stupidly) at the end of June. Who knows what is going on with Emiliano Insua after his move to Fiorentina fell through due to contract demands. I’m still extremely gutted with selling Benayoun to Chelsea, but what I don’t understand is why we sold him when we had no manager. Surely if we have no manager you shouldn’t be selling players from the team, no matter how big or small they are. Benayoun was easily one of our best players and to just sell him to Chelsea (who, funnily enough, Martin Broughton supports) is a bit mystifying. Joe Cole is more than adequate to cover for his loss, though, and I will go on record now saying he will be the scoop of the summer. It’s not everyday you can buy a player with his quality on a free. Imagine having Joe Cole, Benayoun, Steven Gerrard and Alberto Aquilani behind Fernando Torres. I would mention having Javier Mascherano in the squad but I don’t know what the hell he is doing, if he goes, I’d be demanding £30m for him and I’d kick him out the door with that.
There was rumours a week or so ago about Liverpool being interested in buying Jan Klaas Huntelaar with money plus a Ryan Babel swap. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d rather keep Ryan Babel. My reasoning being:
- He is quicker;
- He is used to the Premier League;
- Huntelaar is not used to the Premier League;
- Ryan Babel has a lot of potential (most of which has been wasted y Rafa by playing him on the wing).
I keep hearing people saying that Ryan Babel is a flop but think about the amounts of chances he has had and where he has been playing when he has had his chances. He has been mostly playing on the wings. He is a striker! Not a winger. He is playing second fiddle to David N’Gog, what the fuck? Ryan Babel is far better than N’Gog (don’t let N’Gog’s two goals against Rabotnicki blind you). Play Ryan Babel up front and watch him bag the goals. Give him more chances and don’t play him on the wing.
It was brilliant hearing the news that Fernando Torres has said he is staying after having an interview with LFC.tv and I hope he can stay injury free this season.
Bad times for Manchester City as the new Premier League rules say you need to register a 25 man squad on 1st September for the league and Manchester City have 59 senior players. The 25 man team must include 8 players brought up in England for 3 years before their 21st birthday and 4 of them brought up through the Man City rank within the same 3 year time before their 21st birthday. That means only 17 of the big names they have can be registered, whilst they can have as many players under 21 in their team playing as they want.
This weekend, the Npower Leagues (formerly the Coca-Cola leagues but now renamed) kick off and I was thinking to myself “who will be promoted to the Premier League?” It’s a tough decision, but I expect Middlesbrough to push for promotion, Hull City and, perhaps, Bristol City who have acquired David James and have been told they may loan Michael Owen. Portsmouth may be hit by a 20 point deduction due to them being in administration and even owing the local cat money (joke!). What has happened to Portsmouth? About 50 owners in the last 3 years and they can’t even afford the electricity to power their ground. If they lose this court case, they might be forced to disband and Portsmouth FC will die. Sad times.
With England manager Fabio Capello choosing to drop a lot of the flops and old players after a dismal World Cup, it seems like David James, Stephen Warnock, Ledley King [who Capello admitted that he should never have taken to the World Cup], Rob Green, Michael Carrick & Aaron Lennon will all be dropped. Jamie Carragher and Emile Heskey have both retired from international football. Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshire. After seeing Wilshire in the Emirates Cup, I’m surprised that Arsene Wenger has said he might not get the game time he wants, although he was fantastic and I hope he gets a place in the England team. Joe Hart is expected to take top spot in goal and Ben Foster might be recalled in the friendly vs Hungary.
Although I hate Harry Redknapp, as I think he is stuck up, arrogant and not very friendly (although I don’t know him in real life), I do agree with him that playing an international friendly 3 days before the Premier League kicks off is ridiculous. A lot of the players have just spent 6 weeks together for the World Cup and are probably sick of seeing each other and they’ve just got back to their clubs for preseason and now they’re off for another international game, after preparing for a few weeks for club duty, and then they come back on Friday. It’s ridiculous and a waste of time. Fabio Capello’s suggestion of having a mid-winter break like the rest of Europe has been rejected, Capello said this was the reason England flopped so much as they was tired after such a gruelling season.
Yesterday was the day Konami lifted the embargo for people to talk about the latest code of PES 2011 and, from what I’ve saw, it looks fantastic. Ok, I say that every year it seems, but this year, I can say right now, it will wipe the floor with FIFA 11. The first thing I looked to find out was whether Liverpool is licensed. Sadly (for Liverpool fans anyway), they aren’t. Manchester United are licensed but no other Premier League teams have been announced as licensed. The UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League are licensed again, rumours of the UEFA Super Cup being licensed are flying around and the Copa Libertadores (the South American version of the UEFA Champions League) is licensed.
The biggest news, though, to come out of this is that there is no stadium editor, as first thought, but there IS a stadium CREATOR. This shall be interesting to look at when the game comes out. The annoying Mark Lawrenson has been replaced by... an annoying Jim Begin. Replace one idiot with another, it makes sense. At least now we have an ITV commentary team, Jon Champion and Jim Beglin. The new menu layout looks awesome, new and refreshing. During the game, from what I’ve saw, the name plates at the bottom are gone, the players names appear above their heads, the power bar appears below their feet and there was no radar, although there probably will be one.
The news this week that Gary Neville has fucked up his £100,000 Mercedes was comical. The idiot put petrol into the car, which is ok, until you realise it’s a diesel car. What a twat!
Moving onto some non-sporting news, “adult entertainment” [basically pole dancing and shit like that] has been banned from being advertised in job centres as women might feel like they’re being “forced” to work there if they can’t find a job. A lot of nonsense.
The idea of the Mosque being built close to Ground Zero has gone ahead and will be done. This is absolutely ridiculous, it’s like putting a Nazi memorabilia shop next to a World War 2 concentration camp, it doesn’t happen! Which twat decided to do this? The sick minded bastards!
A funny story this week is a man is packaging himself to the Edinburgh festival. He is going to get his mates to tape him into a box and pack him onto a delivery van to be delivered to Edinburgh. He will have a drink and a phone with Twitter on to keep him busy and others updated on his travels. Another person is challenging himself by only catching local buses to get there.
This week, David Cameron is thinking of bringing in yet a new law which is anyone living in a council house will be reviewed every 5 years to see if they are allowed to keep their house. Basically, if there is only 1 of you living in a house and you have a 3 bedroom house, you might be told to move to a 1 bedroom accommodation. Basically, moving British people so that immigrants with 20 kids can take our houses, that is another story though. It looks like Cameron is attacking the poor.. Again! Does this mean the Queen has to move out of Buckingham Palace? She doesn’t need that many bedrooms.
And finally, 3 men travelling abroad on RyanAir had to pay £1,135 to transport their 3 violins abroad. Looks like RyanAir are on the fiddle again! Sorry, I couldn’t help the joke xD
Anyway, that is all for this week’s blog. I haven’t quite got through all 21 subjects but I will finish the list off next week. Comments below please and I’m yet to decide on next week’s blog so ideas will be welcome.
