Ha! Very well put, Sly. Things ain't getting any better. Leeds have got a new shirt for the rest of the season:


Anyway. As a reminder of the good times:

"That's the best soccer-goal I've ever seen!"

Yep, found some NASL highlights on YouTube.

Here is George Best scoring. Judging by the music this is taking place at Studio 54.

"Look at all the DE-fenders tryin' to contain him!"

Thats the worst soccer-defending I've ever seen!

No one wants to tackle him because it's that horrible fake pitch that was used in the early 80's. Slide in on that stuff and you'd end up like this.

Awful stuff.

That said, Best was an incredible talent. Pity he drank it all away. Pity he played for the Mancs, but I don't hate the Man U of that era as much as I do the current one.

Here is the video of the two goals yesterday.

Congrats on that. The video is a bit bouncy, especially as for the first 35 seconds, no one seems to be able to get control of the ball and keep it on the ground. But well done. Nice volley on the turn for that first goal.

For future videos, you might want to try a monopod with a swivel head for your video camera. Makes them look much better, and it's much easier to move around than a tripod when the action is somewhere else.

Chelsea! Cisse! Slint!

I must be really immature.

Hearts are having their AGM this morning. Valdas Ivanauskas, the current head coach, will step down and become director of football. Yet another Lithuanian will become head coach.

Bleak times for the Jambos.

From The Guardian

Craig Bellamy last night admitted he had "lost control" when he hit his Liverpool team-mate John Arne Riise with a golf club after the Norwegian international defender refused to take part in a karaoke session during the Reds' recent trip to Portugal

Where do you begin? Footballers overpaid? Spoilt? Out of touch with reality? No. Up their own arseholes? Surely not. No sense of fucking perspective despite earning in a week what the poor cunts who pay their wages earn in a year? No way.

Imagine the scene. You're in a karaoke bar with one of your colleagues. He feels you're not entering into the proceedings with sufficient gusto.

Does he
a) good-naturedly tease you for not being more of a team player?
b) launch into a spirited version of "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" whilst using hand gestures to suggest that you manually pleasure yourself more than is biologically necessary?
c) smile tersely, then go back to his room, find his Nick Faldo Super-Whanger, then return to the bar and twat the living shit out of you?
