Under Pressure

Hmmm... Liverpool fail to beat Wigan at home and Newcastle fail to beat Man City who along with Ipswich until now have forgotten how to play football away from home.

Surely those results can't help Rafa or Uncle Sam. Thing is If either of them got sacked it wouldn't do much for the teams, well not this season. I don't think Newcastle are bad enough to be relegated and Liverpool will manage to finish 4th because that's what they do.

Newcastle have also spent money on a variety of Allardyce Shitkickers who I don't think anyone else will want or can mould in to the harlem globetrotting side the fans clearly want.

If Liverpool gave Rafa the boot, Torres would just pull a face and would bugger off to another team. No player is bigger than the club etc.. But that would be foolhardy as he is probably the player of the season so far.

Now that the Americans have realised that making Liverpool into some kind of world beating team AND a cash cow isn't easy I doubt they'd stump up the cash but what they should do is flog Crouch To Pompey So he can get a game, Flog Kuyt to Spurs, the club he was destined to play for and Buy Berbatov, A strikeforce of Berbatov and Torres would tear the face off the Premier League.

But Berb's would have to be crazy to go to Liverpool.

Anyway, Moving on.

I was listening to the City vs Liverpool match on sunday, an excercise in Masochism if ever there was one. Jan Molby was summarising and they were talking about the foreigners Sven has brought in and filled the City team with. Molby made a crack about how they all had nice British names.

Now, I don't know if Jan Molby has noticed, but he's from fucking Denmark. I have no problem with the Molby, in fact Kudos to him for picking up a scouse accent in two weeks or whatever it was I just felt it was a bit odd that someone who has become a Liverpool Legend as an overseas player would make a joke about other foreign players. Then again, he's lived here over twenty years and is probably a naturalised citizen or something, so he probably as much right to comment on foreign players as anyone. It just seemed a bit weird.

Next order of business.

I watched the Derby vs Blackburn Match, well A) I was bored, B) I figured there would be some goals Derby, being Derby.

The thing I noticed most was Tugay, who is fast resembling evil yankee nazzie Walter Donovan from Indy and the Last Crusade when he touches the wrong grail cup.

Finally, Phil O'Donnell, obviously sympathies to friends and families but every time I hear a footballer has died or had some kind of major medical problem it makes me have a panic attack. The week The Sevilla player died and Clive Clarke had a heart attack, I was pretty mental. I'm not exactly super fit. I'm pretty weedy, have a bad diet, don't excercise and spend an awful lot of time sat down writing. These guys excercise for a living! So Footballer's, please stop getting seriously ill. It's not a good thing.

Double finally, I will be posting No 1: in the 101 ways to make football more interesting in the next couple of days.
