Same to you Cashley
So Ashley Cole has now supposedly added 'gun crime' to his list of indiscretions. The most damning thing about Cole's latest misdemeanour is that when most people heard he had shot a Chelsea intern their reaction wasn't, "WHAT?! ASHLEY COLE'S SHOT SOMEONE!?" it was "Ah, Cole's shot someone....". There aren't enough derogatory words on this planet to describe Ashley Cole. He is a complete waste of oxygen and an abysmal human being. The sooner he and his plastic ex wife disappear into the huge vacuous OK magazine hole that morons like them have created the better. The world would be a much better place.
Cole's defence of the alleged shooting incident was that he didn't realise the air rifle was loaded. Shall you tell him that that COMPLETELY misses the point or shall I? Two questions Cashley. Why do you have an air rifle? And why did you take it to the training ground? Perhaps he was doing some target practice with Fernando Torres? He sure needs it.
Absolutely repugnant individual. Greedy swine.
The FA
People were surprised that Wayne Rooney wasn't punished for his elbow on James McCarthy on Saturday. I was more surprised that the FA didn't punish McCarthy for headbutting Rooney's elbow.
Most people have jumped on the opportunity to claim "oh it's Man Utd again, conspiracy, fix, blah blah". As a Liverpool fan I would love to jump onboard that bandwagon but that really isn't the issue here. Yes it's United who have benefitted this time, but next time it will be a different club. The problem here is the FA and their non sensical disciplinary process. Referees can gets decisions wrong (or in Clattenburg's case, everything wrong), they don't have the benefit of Sky's 100 different camera angles and countless replays. What is unacceptable is that when they do, instead of seeing justice done the great cover up begins. It's not players who undermine referee's it's the FA.
It's a bad cliche, but if you were to walk down a street and elbow somebody as Rooney did at the weekend you would be punished. Why is it when players do this on a football pitch the rules of society change?
Players are never accountable for their actions. Cole wasn't for shooting someone and Rooney wasn't for assaulting someone. And this is just in one footballing weekend. And people wonder why I fucking hate England.
Sky Sports News
Has anybody seen the new feature on Sky where they roll out various pundits to talk us through tactics. Using some obscenely large TV screen, esteemed footballing brains such as Tony Cottee, Scott Minto and Iain Dowie talk tactics. Explaining to us mere mortals how football tactics work. The day I pay attention to anything any of the above say will be the day I die. They would be better bringing on the fucking Animals of Farthing Wood to provide us with analysis. The only time I would take advice from Iain Dowie is if I wanted to know how to get a team relegated or how to be offensively ugly.
Bundesliga
A good friend of mine has been promoting the Bundesliga to me for years, while I've always held a general interest I'd never watched a lot of it. If you have ESPN and don't watch it you don't know what you are missing. On Saturday Bayern Munich v Borussia Dortmund was live and it was probably the best game I've seen this season. It's a league which isn't dominated by one team. There isn't many leagues that have had 5 different winners in the last 10 years.
Dortmund have a couple of players to watch out for Mario Götze and Mats Hummels. I haven't seen a lot of them but from the bit I have, I'd be surprised if they didn't become massive names within a couple of years.
A few weeks ago I attended a German game for the first time, Hertha Berlin v Union Berlin. The attendance was 74,000 for a game outside the top division. Imagine that at the equivalant level of English football. I doubt Scunthorpe v Hull would attract 74 people! If you're ever going to Germany, I'd advise making time for a bit of Bundesliga action. Miles better than the Premier League, and that's a fact.
