Young, Man U player, is not actually that young
June 27, 2011
Age is the big issue in football at the minute with every club hell-bent on recruiting foetuses, or so it seems. Chelsea’s manager demonstrates tactics using action figures, while Manchester United have pushed goalkeeper Edwin Van Der Sar aside, even though he is not eligible for a senior bus pass for another two years.
United have also brought in Ashley Young, but in a shocking development, we can reveal that Young is 25-years-old. Not old, but also hardly a teenager.
Many were intrigued as to how Alex Ferguson would react to this revelation. “I went mental,” said a tetchy, blotchy-faced man who may well have been the Manchester United manager.
Chelsea bring down their average age
June 27, 2011
Chelsea have defied all conventional wisdom and hired a manager who isn’t really old.
Andre Villas-Boas is so young, he didn’t even know that Ice Ice Baby was based around the bassline to Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie. Questioned about this conspicuous gap in his knowledge, he said: “So what? I is a football manager. I ain’t gotta know pop music and ting, innit.”
Chelsea have attempted to make their new boss feel more at home by installing PS3s in every room at Stamford Bridge. Villas-Boas is reported to feel ‘totally psyched’ by the gesture.
He is also delighted that Frank Lampard will be able to run him home in the next few months until he’s old enough to start having driving lessons.
Man Utd bring down their average age
June 27, 2011
Manchester United have been looking for a goalkeeper since I was about ten. My exact age is not important, but rest assured, I am no longer ten.
Finally, this close-season, they have managed to get hold of one. David De Gea is just 20 years old – a third of the age of outgoing shotstopper, Edwin Van Der Sar, who has been playing football since the Spanish Armada was being harried by the mighty English fleet.
Asked how he felt about a younger man taking his job, Van Der Sar said: “Eh? Who? What did you say? Speak up. Why does everyone mumble all the time these days?”
John Terry hedges his bets like the spineless coward he is
June 3, 2011
Inbred adulterer with a face like a smack addict, John Terry, has said he would be happy with Mark Hughes as Chelsea manager. He then said he would also be happy with Guus Hiddink, because John Terry is a decision-avoiding numbnuts with faeces for brains.
Terry went on to say that he was sad to see Carlo Ancelotti leave.
If you gave Terry a choice between a solid gold car and a smack in the chops, he probably still wouldn’t have a preference. You’d have to make the decision for him. Unfortunately for him, I don’t have any solid gold cars at my disposal.

Trouble in Paradise
March 9, 2010
Following the news that a group of wealthy fans, dubbed the ‘Red Knights’, are planning a takeover move for Manchester United, Alex Ferguson has moved to quickly quash rumours that he is himself putting some of his personal fortune behind the bid. Ferguson has left no doubt in his response to this by saying that the rumours are “absolute rubbish – there is not an ounce of truth in it”.
Reported debts in the region of £700 million is of great alarm to fans, who were used to a profitable club before the Glazer family bought the club. This has caused many of the United fans to resort to wearing the yellow and green of Newton Heath – a direct protest against the money problems at the club. Although Ferguson has previously said that he did not mind the United fans showing their displeasure, the manager will not be putting his money behind the bid.
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
March 8, 2010
Following a season of relentless disappointment and let-down, Pompey fans were celebrating victory in the FA Cup quarter final against Birmingham City. Two very different finishes (one a tap-in, the other a quality finish) from Frederic Picquionne sent the Pompey faithful into delirium at a packed Fratton Park to send them back to Wembley for the third time in three years.
However, this joy may yet be short-lived. The FA are believed to be discussing the possibility of kicking the Blues out of this year’s tournament due to their off-field problems. The levels of their financial difficulties has been mentioned ad infinitum this year, but it could yet lead to further problems. Following months of dedicated and passionate support for a team that is destined for relegation, this is surely the last thing that the fans of Portsmouth deserve.
The season is taking shape
February 10, 2010
The past few games in the Premier League have really told us a lot with regards to the race for the title. While Arsenal have slipped up against Manchester United and now Chelsea (again), they host Liverpool tonight, live on SKY TV, hoping to consolidate the third spot rather than push on to be Champions. It should be a good game with the Gunners looking to prove doubters wrong that they aren’t a one dimensional team that cannot cope with the counter attack.
Manchester United, on the other hand, are going from strength to strength and are still in the hunt for three trophies (Premiership, Carling Cup and Champions League), and Chelsea likewise (Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League). It looks like it is going to be a battle until the end for the Premiership and the game between these two at Old Trafford on 3rd April will go some way to deciding it.
The Champions United play Aston Villa away tonight while Chelsea visit Everton, so there is still all to play for. The battle for fourth spot also intensified last night with Citeh beating Bolton and moving behind Liverpool on goal difference. Spurs are away at Wolves and can move into the coveted spot for the time being albeit having played a couple of games more than their closest rivals.
