April 2, 200916 yr No Belgium? Call my travel agent, I'm not going to the World Cup without 'em! I know, right?
April 4, 200916 yr Yes! Another trip to Berlin, another away day glory. You might say I've got that Freiday feeling! And Wolfsburg went and tonked Bayern 5-1! All in the same week that Lukas Podolski gave Michael Ballack a slap! Großartig!
April 5, 200916 yr As far as national teams go after Italy my fave has always been Belgium, always rooting for them and it's pretty sad how the state of football is in countries like Belgium.
April 6, 200916 yr astronomer, you should be more proud of Canada's footballing heritage. I was a witness to the Rogers Sports coverage of the last World Cup and was in awe of the articulate punditry of former Ipswich Town goalkeeper Craig Forrest. They may always struggle at playing the game well, but Canada to me is the world champion of rational, thoughtful football commentary.
April 7, 200916 yr Shearer has been appointed Newcastle manager for the rest of the season. :| A bit of a surprise; interesting timing! Championship then? The only thing that can save them now is us
April 8, 200916 yr And Manure have been found out in recent weeks for what they really are: an overrated bunch of wankers.
April 8, 200916 yr Noooo don't say that. For the first time I'm supporting Manyoo! I still want them to get knocked out of the Champions League, but in the next round pleeeeaaaase. If they're knocked out now, they'll be able to concentrate solely on the league
April 8, 200916 yr Noooo don't say that. For the first time I'm supporting Manyoo! I still want them to get knocked out of the Champions League, but in the next round pleeeeaaaase. If they're knocked out now, they'll be able to concentrate solely on the league They still have the FA cup to focus on as well. They're going down either way.
April 8, 200916 yr All in the same week that Lukas Podolski gave Michael Ballack a slap! Großartig!Good for Porto, great for "football in general". Nice to see Man Utd concede a late goal for a change, usually they manage to sneak in a few during the obligatory six minutes of added time they get when things aren't going so well.
April 15, 200916 yr I see :| I was made aware that Crouchy did the Robot and even did the pull when he scored recently Have not seen footage yet
April 15, 200916 yr I like Crouch, I had a flick through his autobiography once which is called, fittingly, Walking Tall. He says nice things about Villa, makes knowing comments towards his looks being for an er, 'acquired taste' and generally seems a happy boy who's grateful for his lovely life. I'd rank it just below the literary treasure that is Totally Frank, the moving story of Francis Lampard, Jnr., and the defiant, tough as nails My Defense by Cashley Cole.All jesting aside, I don't like football autobiographies, even if they're characters from the days when football was played professionally by chronic alcoholics and fat, sideburn clad smokers. In fact, they're worse because they're always so depressing, which makes for an honest read, but one that's hard on the stomach. Paul McGrath's book is a good example. I love the guy and appreciate the candidness he brings but to read account after account of his woes is bordering on torture.
