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!
