Frederick Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astronomer Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 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.

Michael* Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Shearer has been appointed Newcastle manager for the rest of the season. :| A bit of a surprise; interesting timing! Championship then?

SympathysSilhouette Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 And Manure have been found out in recent weeks for what they really are: an overrated bunch of wankers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Frederick Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
