Manuel Almunia
It looks as though as Arsenal are about to sign a trio of midfield players. Nothing has been confirmed so I won't go into detail or make any comment. I understand that we need to replace Flamini after he departed to AC Milan. But why do we have to sign more midfielders? If Helb and Gilberto leave then the situation changes.
But what about other positions such as center-back or more importantly goalkeeper? Positions that I think we need strengthening.
Many Gooners feel that Manuel Almunia is not good enough to be the Arsenal 1st choice keeper. With Jens Lehmann now gone - his age catching up with him - is it time that Arsenal invest heavily in a top quality world class keeper?
Almunia has done little wrong, he therefore has done enough to stay in the side - for now. There are very few top class keepers around and until one comes on the market, we Gooners should get behind our new number one.

Cont of the Week
Not for the first time, Raymond Domenech has left Robert Pires and David Trezeguet out of the France squad. He has stated that the reasons have been tactical. Pires publically spoke out in opposition of Domenech in 2004 for the manner in which four eyes ran the team. I believe his exclusion was due to more than just “organizational choices”.
During Domenech’s time as top man, Trezeguet has had a horrible run of bad form with Les Bleus or has been left out of the squad altogether. One can understand the exclusion of Pires for one of the younger, up and coming stars from the ever full Clairefontaine cupboard. Trezeguet on the other hand is continually cast aside if not brought in with reluctance when he has been included, even if he remains a deadly marksman at club level.
Here is a man who has excelled in Serie A, the most defensive league in football. He’s scored goals for fun at times. He's won the European Championship with a dramatic extra time goal. A goal that was set up by Pires! I admit neither have been as prolific for France – not nearly so. But to treat such important players the way Domenech has done is just wrong.
Robert Pires has been one of the most creative and productive players around.
In essence, Domenech has deprived me of seeing two of my favorite players perform on football’s biggest stages. Fuck him.
I’d like someone to show me proof that it wasn’t Zidane who actually ran the show in 2006. I can just see Domenech trying to explain himself while the players waited until he finished and then availed themselves of the wisdom of the great one.
Fuck Domenech! I don’t care if he has had a decent run with the national team. He’s a cont for shunting players who deserve far more respect than that bellend has given. Who the fuck does that cont think he is!?!?
Like Average Grant, your team’s success has little to do with your “leadership” Monsieur Domenech you fucking muppet.
Fuck off you bastard

Cont Final
Tomorrow is the final of the Champions League. It's a final that I believe Arsenal should be in. Two inept refs and a cheating born again Dutch Christian cost us a place in the semis against Chelsea. If you ever want to see the hypocrisy of religion, then look no further than Ryan Babel's dive against Arsenal in the quarter-final second leg. The cheating cont needs to read The Ten Commandments before blabbing on about how Christianity has changed him. Yeah, it's made the goofy fucker dishonest. Some change.
You will get yours Babel.
CHELSEA WILL WIN TOMORROW
Why? Because they have had luck and an easy ride to the final.
The hardest team they faced was Luckypool, which they won due to a lucky last minute own goal by John "Long Ball" Risse in the first leg. The fat fuck Rafa also helped Chelsea by going on about having a DVD of Drogba's diving. Factor in the Luckypool center-back Skrtel going off injured after 22 minutes of the 2nd leg and Hypia not being given a penalty and you see Chelsea have had luck.
Look at the other teams Chelsea have played:
One of the worst Valencia teams for years. So poor that they nearly got relegated.
Rosenborg - they currently lie 10th out of 14 teams in the Norway First Division
Schalke 04 - they struggled to qualify for the knock-out stages and only managed to get into the quarter-finals by beating Porto on penalties.
Olympiakos - they conceded 7 goals in the group stages, and had a 40 year old keeper who looked as though he starred in the silent film era.
Fernabache - the weakest team of the quarter-finalists.
But this seasons Champions League final will be decided by one of two things: a single goal or penalties;
And it will be motivated by one factor: Death
Yes, the death of Pat Lampard, Frank Lampard's mum will be used to motivate Chelsea and the anniversary of the 1958 Munich air disaster will be used to motivate thickos like Rio Ferdinand.
Frank was labeled by the English press as being brave and heroic for stepping up to take the penalty that would give Chelsea a 2-1 advantage over Luckypool in the 2nd leg semi-final.
Let's get things straight here. Frank's job is to take penalties. He is the designated penalty taker of Chelsea. It's a fucking penalty he's taking. He's not dismantling a bomb that is about to explode and blow up half of London. Sure there is pressure, but all penalties in a crucial game carry that burden.
Calling Frank "heroic and brave" for scoring a penalty is cock sucking journalism at it's best. Nevertheless, divs like Ashley Cole fall for it. When Frank scored and went down on his knees in tribute to his dead mum, Ashley jumped on his back and hugged him in a way that was very homosexual. But Ashley was playing to the crowd. He couldn't give a fuck about Pat Lampard. By hugging Frank in such a caring way, Ashley tried to show the Chelsea fans that he cared. He tried to show the outside world the great team spirit at Chelsea. The respect the players have for Frank in such hard times.
Fuck-off Ashley you fucking fraud!
Manipulating the minds of thick people like Ashley Cole is so fucking easy. And conts like Alex Ferguson know that.
Take Rio Ferdinand - a man with the same room temperature IQ as Ashley. He said he wants to win the final for those that died in Munich 50 years ago. Why?
Did he know any of the victims? Did he lose any relatives in that crash?
Did he fuck?
But apparently Rio was moved by a speech made by Sir Bobby Charlton who told the Moan U squad about how important the anniversary of Munich is to everyone connected at the cont club. Why not just bring out the black armbands and start playing the "Death March" then?
I'm sick of the Munich anniversary. It's dragged on for long enough.
I think the final will be a letdown and I think that after Chelsea have lifted the Champions League trophy, the season of the anniversary of Munich will end in a huge anti-climax.
Winning Europe's most coveted trophy in Moscow seems like the most unappealing city to win it in. The city carries none of the romance or charm of Paris or grandeur of Rome. It just seems to be a cold and grey place illuminated by Red Square, occasional sunshine and Russia's nouveau-riche showing off their new found wealth.
It's only fitting then that a grey, autocratic club, full of rich individuals like Chelsea would seem like the ideal team to lift such a great trophy in the capital of a semi-totalitarian country that pretends to have democratic institutions but one that is run on a fascist-capitalist economy.
Chelsea after all are the nouveau-riche of football. They used to strive to be the Moan U of the south. But now roles have reversed. The Glazers want Moan U to be the Chelsea of the north - debt free and owned by one man who answers to no-one. A pure money making machine where football is the product and fans are the consumers.

Lee Carsley today signed for relegated Birmingham City. He left Everton after 6 and a half seasons at the long ball club.
He won zero.
Carsley is a journeyman midfield enforcer who represents the ugly side to the English Premiership. His job at Everton was essentially to stop creative players like Cesc Fabregas from playing.
In a 16 year professional career, where Carsley made 398 appearances for average clubs like Derby Cunty, Cuntburn Rovers and Everton, the anti-creative Irishman scored only 31 goals. That equals less than 2 goals a season.
Defenders of the clogger Carsley will state that he actually scored a goal every 13 games but I don't look at it like that.
Carsley played in central midfield. A position that demands more than 31 goals in 16 seasons.
If you pay a central midfielder thousands of pounds, week after week, month after month, you expect a bigger return than 31 goals.
But the bald headed, thug looking Carsley was bought to stop the opposition. Not to score goals. He's the antithesis of flair.
On his debut for Everton, Carsley quickly warmed himself to the Everton fans by breaking the Arsenal defender Matthew Upson's leg after half an hour. Not to worry, justice was done as Arsenal won the match 1-0 through a fortunate Sylvain Wiltord goal.
Just like Everton's style of play, the match itself was horrible. Played in terrible weather conditions of rain and a blustery wind that helped cut up the pitch and destroy Arsenal's passing game.
These was conditions that were designed to favor industrious players like Carsley. It's strange to think now that Everton finished the game with flair players like Paul Gascoigne and David Ginola, while Arsenal had donkey's such as Igor Stepanovs, Oleg Luzhny and Giovanni van Wankhorst.
Carsley is not an Irishman. He was born in England but due to the realization that he was too crap to play for the country where he was born and raised, he opted to play for Ireland's "hit it long" team, using his Irish grandmother's nationality as a way of claiming that he was Irish. He earned 38 caps during the period 1997-2006 where Ireland only qualified for one major tournament.
It's hard to see a player like Carsley getting even one cap for a country like Spain or France.
I am glad to see the back of Lee Carsley. He is an example of why the Premiership is not the best league in the world. For the past few seasons, the central midfield of Everton has been controlled by Carsley and Phillip Neville (a left-back cum midfielder). Both have turned Everton into the Abu Ghraib of football. Watching them has been torture.
I'm sick of the Lee Carsley's and Phillip Neville's of this world. Until the Premier League gets rid of them it can never say that it is the best league in the world.
Until Everton start to become more creative, they will continue to win nothing and continue to fail in Europe.
But Everton and Carsley belong together - in the Championship that is because I'm sick of teams and players like them that make watching football an ordeal rather than a pleasure.
Fuck them. Conts.

Arsenal don't have a game until July 18, 2008. It's a friendly match against League Two Barnet. Some people may say it's nothing to get excited about.
With the Champions League final and EURO 2008 upon us there is room for agreement.
But the Barnet fixture is important. It's a chance for Gooners to have a first hand look at new signings, trialists and up and coming youngsters.
In July, 2000, Arsenal beat Barnet 1-0 thanks to a goal by the then much hyped teenage sensation Jermaine Pennant, in a game where Lauren made his Arsenal debut.
In July 2003, when Barnet were a Conference side, Arsenal fielded two trialists: Ya Ya Toure (brother of Kolo) and Gael Clichy. In the second half of that match, Ya Ya played as a striker and missed Arsenal's best chance, heading wide when the goal was as his mercy. Ya Ya wasn't offered a contract and instead signed for the Ukrainian team Metalurh Donetesk, while Clichy was asked to join the Arsenal squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria. The game finished 0-0.
In July 2005, Arsenal gave a trial to ex-Barcelona, Monaco and Marseille center-back Philippe Christanval. Things didn't work out and Christanval eventually signed for Fulham. Arsenal won the match 4-1 with new signing Alexander Helb scoring the opening goal.
In July 2006, Arsenal again drew 0-0 with Barnet. Jeremie Aliadiere missed Arsenal's best chance after being played in by Alex Song. Aliadiere would have one more season at Arsenal before being sold to Middlesboro, while Song looks as though he will be challenging Kolo for the center-back position.
This year the Barnet fixture looks to be interesting, with youngsters like Vela, Gibbs, Lansbury, Merida, Wiltshire set to feature. There will also be the new signings. Below is a list of those that have been linked with Arsenal so far:
Ben Arfa (Lyon)
Roque Santa Cruz (Cuntburn Rovers)
Samir Nasri (Marseille)
Mahamadou Dabo (St Etienne)
Jean Makoun (Lille)
Lilian Thuram (Barcelona)
Raul Albiol (Valencia)
Alberto Aquilani (Roma)
Mario Gomez (Stuttgart)
Blaise Matuidi (St Etienne)
It's a shame that none of these players will wear an Arsenal shirt.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2009
Shame that AC Milan and Ajax never made it to next seasons Champions League qualifiers. We now have FC Twente and Fiorentina taking their place.
Flamini will be playing UEFA Cup football next season. He said he joined AC Milan for footballing reasons. Enjoy playing against your fellow Frenchman Diarra of Portsmouth.

Ben Arfa
Today Lyon signed Miralem Pjanic. He plays in the same position as Ben Arfa. So does this mean that Ben is leaving Lyon for Arsenal? Is Pjanic a replacement for Ben?
Pjanic blanked Arsenal and Barcelona for Lyon. Was his reason for signing for Lyon the promise of first team opportunities?
THE FA CUP FINAL
Like most cup finals this one was a bore. I'm pleased that Portsmouth won. I have nothing against Cardiff City.
Portsmouth have an Arsenal connection. The Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp supported Arsenal as a boy. His father was an avid Gooner. The number two at Pompey is ex-Arsenal captain Tony Adams. Saturday's winner was scored by Kanu. A nice fella who had a fantastic first season for Arsenal. Shame he couldn't repeat his form of 1999 for the rest of his Arsenal career. There's also Sol Campbell (who I have a lot of respect for), Diarra (who I would like to see back at Arsenal) and Lauren (who didn't make the bench but who will always be an Arsenal legend).
At least this year's final was better than the Moan u Cuntski final last year. Shame that those two conts are now contesting the Champions League final.
What a bore that will be.

Cont of the Week
On Monday, the Birmingham City chairman David Gold was interviewed by the BBC in relation to abuse he and co-owner David Sullivan received by their own supporters. Immediately after news confirmed that Birmingham had been relegated, Birmingham fans turned their fury on the two owners and Sullivan's two sons.
Gold and Sullivan complained that they had never seen such abuse during their time at Birmingham City. They called the abuse disturbing and uncalled for.
Bollocks.
Those two conts deserve whatever abuse is thrown their way.
Sullivan and Gold became owners of Birmingham City to make money, which they have achieved. Now they want to sell up and get out. Sullivan's shares are for sale at 12 million pounds. A massive profit from what he bought them for.
In December 2007, they tried to sell the club to Hong Kong businessman Carson Yeung. That deal fell through. However, the protracted negotiations with Yeung were one of the reasons behind ex-manager's Steve Bruce's departure to Wigan Athletic.
Bruce was unhappy that Yeung's consortium would not discuss a new contract.
Bruce kept Wigan up, while Birmingham went down.
In April 2008, Sullivan and Managing Director Karen Brady were arrested and questioned by police in connection with allegations of false accounting and conspiracy to defraud.
Sullivan and Gold are conts. Trying to sell their shares mid-season for personal profit is greed at its worst. They weren't thinking of the club's best interests. They were only thinking of themselves. The Birmingham fans didn't come into the equation.
Men like Sullivan and Gold are prime examples of conts who are now in charge of many football clubs around the world.
Fuck them all.

The Men to Replace Edleman, Flamini et al
The football world is very similar to the US celebrity world - especially this time of year. Instead of which Hollywood actor/actress is dating who etc, it's which club is buying which player.
Arsenal are always linked with everyone and everyone. While their top stars are misquoted as wanting to leave for pastures new.
Fans claim to have insider knowledge on transfers while players agents spin a load of shit in order to get the best deal for their client.
I fell victim to this world three years ago. I was working in London on my mate's house at the time. He was having satellite television installed and the cable guy claimed that his wife was best friend's with Ian Wright's cleaner. He vehemently swore that Wright's cleaner had told his wife that Arsenal were definitely going to sign Sean Wright Phillips from Manchester City. It was a done deal. That night I sent an e-mail to my mate in New York telling him of the news.
Three months later Sean Wright Phillips signed for Chelsea.
Now I tend to ignore transfer gossip. It's boring and half of the players that we are linked with I have never heard of. The ones that I have heard of, I've never seen them play. Youtube clips can give false impressions.
Take Ben Afra for example. Apparently it's a done deal - according to who you may ask? The Associated Press? His agent? The Player himself? Until Arsenal officially make an announcement I would rather concentrate on the ridiculously boring story of Barack Obama calling a female reporter in Detroit "Sweetie." The news networks need to concentrate on "real" stories.
I've never seen Ben Afra play. I know that he plays left-wing for Lyon and that his family are Tunisian. But I've never seen him play. I'm guessing that many other Arsenal fans have never seen him play. And those Arsenal fans that have seen him play, have only seen him play against Moan U in the Champions League. If at all.
The majority of my time is spent shoving alcohol down people's throats and listening to boring drunks talk about their boring lives. Unless you follow French football, you won't have a clue about this Ben Afra bloke. So why are so many Arsenal fans so happy that we maybe signing a player that they have never seen play?
Today more rumors were shoved down our throats. According to the website Teamtalk, Arsenal are trying to prise the Managing Director of Fulham to work at The Emirates. This is a man who fired Chris Coleman only to replace him with Lawrie Sanchez. He gave Mr. Sanchez 20 million pounds to sign average Championship players: David Healy, Aaron Hughes, Chris Baird, Diomansky Kamara and Steven Davis.
I think not.
Then we have rumors that Ya Ya Toure wants to join his brother at Arsenal. You can bet your house on the fact that this rumor will surface every summer as long as Kolo is still at Arsenal. We have Diaby who plays a similar game to Ya Ya. Why waste millions on signing a prototype player?
The players who can play center midfield are currently: Fabregas, Diaby, Gilberto, Denilson and Fran Merida. Add Song, Helb, Djourou and Rosicky to that list and you can see why the Ya Ya rumor is just that.
Arsenal are always linked with everyone and everyone. While their top stars are misquoted as wanting to leave for pastures new.
Fans claim to have insider knowledge on transfers while players agents spin a load of shit in order to get the best deal for their client.
I fell victim to this world three years ago. I was working in London on my mate's house at the time. He was having satellite television installed and the cable guy claimed that his wife was best friend's with Ian Wright's cleaner. He vehemently swore that Wright's cleaner had told his wife that Arsenal were definitely going to sign Sean Wright Phillips from Manchester City. It was a done deal. That night I sent an e-mail to my mate in New York telling him of the news.
Three months later Sean Wright Phillips signed for Chelsea.
Now I tend to ignore transfer gossip. It's boring and half of the players that we are linked with I have never heard of. The ones that I have heard of, I've never seen them play. Youtube clips can give false impressions.
Take Ben Afra for example. Apparently it's a done deal - according to who you may ask? The Associated Press? His agent? The Player himself? Until Arsenal officially make an announcement I would rather concentrate on the ridiculously boring story of Barack Obama calling a female reporter in Detroit "Sweetie." The news networks need to concentrate on "real" stories.
I've never seen Ben Afra play. I know that he plays left-wing for Lyon and that his family are Tunisian. But I've never seen him play. I'm guessing that many other Arsenal fans have never seen him play. And those Arsenal fans that have seen him play, have only seen him play against Moan U in the Champions League. If at all.
The majority of my time is spent shoving alcohol down people's throats and listening to boring drunks talk about their boring lives. Unless you follow French football, you won't have a clue about this Ben Afra bloke. So why are so many Arsenal fans so happy that we maybe signing a player that they have never seen play?
Today more rumors were shoved down our throats. According to the website Teamtalk, Arsenal are trying to prise the Managing Director of Fulham to work at The Emirates. This is a man who fired Chris Coleman only to replace him with Lawrie Sanchez. He gave Mr. Sanchez 20 million pounds to sign average Championship players: David Healy, Aaron Hughes, Chris Baird, Diomansky Kamara and Steven Davis.
I think not.

Craig Bellamy
I used to think that Craig Bellamy was a bit of a cunt. I looked at him as a Welsh Chav with a load of tattoos and bad attitude. He was an example of why many Premiership footballers are piss poor role models.
Bellamy has been cleared of assaulting two women in a Cardiff nightclub, fined for driving a car with no insurance, cleared of racially abusing an Asian bouncer, sent off, banned, and kicked out of Newcastle United and Luckypool.
Bobby Robson described Bellamy as a man who "could start a fight in an empty room." He had run-ins with Terry McDermott, he threw a chair at the Newcastle first team coach John Carver and was eventually shown the exit door by Graeme Souness for refusing to play right-wing against Arsenal.
Newcastle tried to flog Bellamy to Birmingham but after the striker sent a text to the Newcastle chairman that said: "I am Craig Bellamy I don't play for shit clubs" the deal was called off. Shortly afterwards he was sent on loan to Celtic.
After Celtic, Bellamy signed for Blackburn Rovers where he blossomed under manager Mark Hughes - a fellow striker and Welshman. While at Blackburn he sent abusive text messages to the son of the Newcastle chairman and also to the then Newcastle captain Alan Shearer after Newcastle were knocked out of the FA Cup by Moan United.
The following season he was sold to Luckypool but only lasted a season after he attacked fellow team mate John "long ball" Riise with a golf club.
But last week, Craig Bellamy shocked me. This was after he spent 650, 000 pounds of his own money to set up a football academy in war torn Seirra Leone to try and help develop the country's young talent. Bellamy's foundation will set up 14 new leagues, create 68 new boys teams, employ 141 coaches and educate people on health awareness.
Bellamy is promoting the game of football.
In Los Angeles, David Beckham claims to be promoting "soccer". He charges $1000 for five days of coaching per child at his academy.
Like I said earlier, I thought Craig Bellamy was a cunt. Obviously, I was thinking of the wrong person.

What Was Your Highlight of the Season
Believe or not, it was getting thumped by Spurs.
I don't mean that it was a positive highlight, just that it will stay on my mind and has left a horrible taste on my toungue so that I can hardly wait to face those cocksuckers next season.
In fact, I hope we draw them in both cups as well.
A proper reminder of how inferior they really are was on show this past week when Jermaine Jenas sounded off about how they are going to overtake us and become a big club overnight.
Dream on you shithead.
FUCK OFF YOU SPURS!

Cont of the Week
A guy named Mike made my choice of Cont of the Week very easy today.
What did Mike do?
He did what I've noticed has become quite common.
He did what I've noticed men and women alike have been doing.
He called a group of (attractive) women "guys".
"As I was telling these guys earlier", he said pointing to a trio of women.
Why does that bother me to the point of making Mike - obviously a hard working and seemingly decent human being - Cont of the Week? It bothers me to that end because that is the type of thing that erodes a language. That is what erodes the aesthetic differences between men and women, obviously, and those between women who aren't easy on the eyes and even the average fitty.
If you didn't know, when a woman is hot and fit, we call her a fitty.
It may seem like a lame description but it beats calling women "guys".
WHY WOULD YOU CALL A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN A GUY??????
The three women in question were beyond fuckable. They were classy and sexy.
They'd get the approval of even the most heterosexual woman. They were hot.
If one or more of them asked me to share their bed, I wouldn't call my mate the next day and say, "I shagged this "guy" last night. She was amazing."
Fuck off Mike, you cont.

The Key Decisions in any Football Club are Made By the Board
Barcelona fired Frank Rijkaard today. A second successive season with no trophies was the reason. Frank's downfall was Barcelona's league position not their semi-final exit to Moan United. They finished third, behind Villareal who spent a lot less in the transfer market last summer.
Who was Frank's big mistake?
Thierry Henry.
Why sign another striker when you already have 3 world class strikers at the club? Not to mention two more waiting in the reserves.
Frank should have signed Flamini from Arsenal not Henry. Instead of paying top dollar for a quality midfielder, Frank went to TJ Max and bought a bargain bucket Ya Ya Toure - a decent midfielder but no better than Steven Sidwell at Chelsea.
Why sign Henry? The Barcelona board wanted him. In merchandise alone they recouped a lot of the transfer fee that they paid Arsenal for him.
But Henry has problems. Most notably with his ex-wife.
He says he misses London. He misses his daughter Tia. He probably misses Arsenal as well but can't say that in public. Maybe he still misses his ex. Men always hold more nostalgia for their ex's than women do.
But Henry left Arsenal in a shitty way. He cited the departure of David Dein as a factor for leaving. It is the first time that a player has blamed the departure of a member of the board of directors as a factor in his transfer.
It was a low blow and left a bad taste in my mouth.
I had a lot of respect for Henry until then. I still hold a lot of respect for him but not in the same way as I do for Bergkamp.
But with Henry citing Dein's departure as a factor as to why he signed for Barcelona, it shows how powerful and influential members of the board are these days. A successful football club needs businessmen who understand football. Dein, in Henry's eyes was one of these businessmen.
You only have to look at West Ham to see how fortunate Arsenal fans are with their current board. Look at West Ham's signings last year and what they earn:
Freddie Ljungburg, Keiron Dyer, Craig Bellamy, Dean Ashton, Lucas Neill, Lee Bowyer.
All of which earn over 50,000 pounds a week. That's more than Werder Bremen who will be playing Champions League football again next season. The West Ham board sanctioned those signings and never questioned their manager Alan Curbishley. The Arsenal board would never have given the green light to these signings. But we would never have made Alan Curbishley our manager.
We have learned from the Bruce Rioch season of 1995-96. We are a different club now. One of Europe's elite. Just like Barcelona.
Elite clubs need elite managers. Managers with experience on the big stage. Not coaches who just starting out in their careers. So why did Barcelona appoint Josep Guardiola?

King Kev Is Right
Kevin Keegan is not a King. He never will be. But to many myopic Newcastle fans, Keegan is King of Tyneside. That's like being King of Lichtenstein, Andorra or San Marino. No-one outside of Newcastle gives a fuck about this phoney title. It's a sign of how desperate Newcastle fans are.
The fact is that Keegan has won nothing at Newcastle. So why the title?
Being Newcastle's chosen royalty has no standing in the places that matter. Keegan is not going to get VIP treatment at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires. He is not going to be asked to speak at a top level coaching symposium in Brazil or Spain.
However, King Kev still holds sway abroad.
Enter the United States.
Wank coaching organizations such as NSCAA, who are doing a similar job to football to what the nutty Christian right has done to politics in the USA, would bend over backwards for Keegan to speak at their National Convention.
In a country, where nationalism is shoved down the throats of its citizens everyday, inspirational and passionate King Kev works. But then "Keeganism" only works with stupid people. Divs and the easily led.
Many American's are more concerned about illegal immigrants not paying taxes or a pastor speaking some home truths than why their government is throwing taxpayers money away.
Many American's don't question why their government is spending trillions on a war that has no end or any justification for being there in the first place. Am I talking about Iraq or Afghanistan?
You choose.
The President's word is gospel. Never question it. Doing so unpatriotic.
Support the troops, wave the flag (that is made in China), and keep believing in spreading democracy around the world to those countries that are not Western but need to be Westernized. Do these clowns mean countries like Burma? Sudan? Saudi Arabia or Indonesia? Countries where oil pours into western SUVS but human rights remain blocked by a political dam of corruption that is aided by western corporate money.
I can't be bothered with these people. And I can't be bothered with people that believe King Kev will bring back the glory to Newcastle.
Newcastle has never had any glory. The last time they won the league was before World War Two.
Newcastle may win the Carling Cup under Keegan, but that's about it! It's hardly glory. Winning the FA Cup is too much of a stretch.
Keegan doesn't have what it takes to win The Premiership or qualify for the Champions League and he knows it. That's why he has made comments saying so.
Keegan says Newcastle will win the second tier of The Premiership next season. Not The Premiership itself or a top 4 Champions League spot. Not unless he is given millions and millions of pounds.
He has a point. The top 4 will remain and stay: Moan U, Cuntski, Arsenal and Luckypool. The next tier will fight for a UEFA Cup spot either by finishing 5th or winning the Carling Cup or FA cup. Those teams are Spurs, Everton, Aston Villa, Portsmouth, Cuntburn and perhaps Newcastle if Keegan can get his act together.
A poor quality of teams in other words. But, The Premiership is the best league in the world - just like the "soccer moms" believe that America is the best country in the world.
Keegan said recently that The Premiership is in danger of becoming one of the most boring leagues in the world. He's right. Next season we have Stoke v Wigan. Bolton v Sunderland. Middlesbrough v Everton or West Brom v Hull City.
Sounds exciting!
The Premiership will be won by those clubs with the most money: either Cuntski or Moan U again. Just like the race for the White House will be won by either the Democrats or Republicans. The parties with the most money.
Democracy in other words.
The Premiership in other words.
Cunts.
But divs fall for this shit.
Thank God for men like Arsene Wenger.

Jens Lehmann is and Arsenal legend
If you watch the post match interview of Jens Lehmann after a memorable run out against Everton Sunday - his last at The Emirates - it's hard not to respect the man. Sure, opposing fans and many neutrals will remind me that Jens is ill-tempered on his best day and is seen as a proper cunt, generally speaking. I'm not so sure, to be honest.
Not long ago, you couldn't find a better keeper. He commanded his box, made key saves, and was generally quite reliable, until those early season mistakes cost him his job. He is a devoted family man, articulate, and once blanked Fat Frank and cunty Jamie Redknapp at a London restaurant. That alone deserves kudos.
So what he picked fights and fought battles that he perhaps should not have. With Jens in goal, we had what we'd missed since the FA dulled our teeth - he gave us that sharp edge. He often angered Arsene and always gave the media fodder but I found his antics amusing.
I love Jens and I will miss him.

Cont of the Week
The award for Cont of the Week goes to Rafa Benitez.
His mind games against Didier Dogbreath massively failed.
It was a major contribution to Chelsea's win on Wednesday night.
His rotation policy also failed.
Yet, so many conts were praising it saying that Rafa was a genius. That his players look fresh because of it. Where are these conts now that Luckypool have won fucking zero?
After the 1-1 Quarter-final 1st leg tie against Arsenal this is what the fat Spanish cont had to say about the blatant penalty by Kuyt that was never given:
"I was watching the replays and I don't think it was clear. In England it is not a penalty."
But in every other country it is?
Then to protect his guilty man Kuyt he states that:
"Kuyt was man of the match. He was always in support."
Kuyt played like a top level journeyman pro. He scored, he played the ball simple, he tracked back, he defended and was hard-working. He did nothing special apart from grab Helb by the arm just as he was about to cross or shoot when through on goal. A deliberate foul that deserved a sending off - minimum a yellow card.
Kuyt is nothing more than a Dutch Darren Fletcher. Except Kuyt cost 10 million. Would you spend 10 million on Darren Fletcher? Fuck no!
We all know that in the return leg that the cheating "yet so very honest Christian" Babel dived to get Luckypool back into the match. Not surprisingly, Rafa was silent on this.
Well Rafa, your stupid words about Didier Dogbreath being a diver will eventually cost you your job.
I give Rafa another season of failure and then it's adios. And I won't miss his boring tactics, his teams boring style of play or his boring press conferences.
You have one season.
Win the Champions League or The Premiership.
Or face the sack.
By the way lose some weight and shave the goatee.
Sort out your hair.
Make an appointment at Vidal Sassoon.
Because you look terrible - You fat, ugly, cont.

WTF Are Excersoles?
The digital age has brought us innumerable benefits. I’ll list a few in case you’ve been stuck in 1975 and really haven’t a clue what’s happened since buying your last pair of Excersoles.
Filmmaking is now easier than it was to pick up a hooker on West 29th St. Since the cunt named Giuliani exiled them to somewhere south of Hoboken, many have figured out how to really use the system. I’ve heard of a group that pooled money from a month’s worth of swallowed babies and formed their own online sex shop filled with home made flicks. Now they’re filthy…filthy rich that is. So what they’ve put Habib’s Videos out of business! He can sell all those VHS copies of Behind the Green Door as collector’s items. I can use a fresh copy.

So what they’ve put Habib’s Videos out of business! He can sell all those VHS copies of Behind the Green Door as collector’s items. I can use a fresh copy.
And remember when you were forced to memorize math formulas? No need anymore my son. You can point and click sines and cosines all day long.
Insurance claims processing is super fast now. Seriously! Most of the fat cunts who handle them used to own auto body shops that their slutty ex-wives now own. They come out with their digital cameras and their laptops and in less time than those quick sessions in bed with your ex Mrs. (yeah, the same sessions that made her your ex), you have a check in hand for damages that were your fault because you were sending a text message instead of paying attention to the road.
We also have blogs now. Boy do we have blogs! Football blogs are good places to catch up on the latest transfer gossip, let the world know what you think about your club’s manager, or if you believe Rooney gives it to Ronaldo up the bum. But most of them are fairly ordinary. This blog strives to be a little different. I like to think this is where those who need to say something can come and let loose. I don’t feel that any healthy male with a reasonable income, who is not physically handicapped, should ever complain. Palestinians, starving Haitians, that Sudanese woman who just got raped, again, have the right to complain.
Having said that, I also accept that football fans have as much to rant about as anyone else. That is if you accept that football is life. I do, BTW. So for those who cannot stomach the language used here, or the venomous attacks on opposing players and managers, or the expressions of hate for the lack of substance in pop culture, or if you just don’t like my position on anything from curry to mondongo, from SUV’s to yoyos, from Jill Scott to the legacy of Adi Dassler, I don’t give a shit. This is the place to discuss football and almost anything else. If you don’t like it here, go read someone else’s pile of dung. I offer that too but at least I admit it and have no pretense about being anything but frank, willing to hear and share an opinion, and a lover of The Beautiful Game.
