Back from Oblivion

Well it’s been a while that’s for sure. Busy is not the word for what I have been, the poor head is struggling to cope. Barely had the time to get a drink and that is when it gets really serious. Work hard play harder is my philosophy.

I am trying to think when was the last game I mentioned; I would bet it was a draw though considering we are becoming the Villa of the League, i.e. Draw Specialists!

Oh hang on, I remember I was up to the Luton game where being truly good sports we had granted them a replay to help them with funds. The replay was very one sided with a 5-0 win. Nothing much that I can recall apart from Hyypia scoring, which was good for my fantasy footy team.

We then played Villa on a Monday night. I had to watch this in London as I was down in the smoke to do a presentation at a conference. The irony of it, people sent worldwide with companies paying a fortune – and they get the likes of me as a speaker. MUGS!
The double irony was I even managed to throw a Liverpool slide into my presentation, as I had to use an existing partnership deal with ManUre as part of a business model. So to clear the stench in the air, the Liverpool crest was required.
Anyway the game finished with a draw, no surprise there – however we were actually lucky to get it. The weird thing is Villa had 1 attempt on target, yet scored 2.

Then came the FA Cup and the Havant and Waterlooville game. Havant a non-league side with true part-timers who managed to take the lead – Twice!
In fairness they could play a bit so I don’t want to rip in but bloody hell a non-league side scoring to take the lead twice at Anfield, what the fuck we are not Everton.
Afterwards it came out it was a secret ploy to boost the profile of the FA Cup. I mean lets be serious the 2nd best defence in the best league in the world, conceding two at home in the FA Cup? Like the draw at Luton – sportsmanship!
At end of the day we are still in it, unlike others we could mention. Barnsley are next, who on their last visit to Anfield dipped us 1-0 if I recall right. I’m sure my mate Jimmy put a £5 on 5-0, whoops!

West Ham was next, the less I say about the game the better – truly awful, the last minute pen to nail the coffin. What I will mention is Harry Bastardin Kewell. Yeah that’s right, the same Kewell I have supported through thick and thin, well no more. At the end of the game he was walking off talking to his mate Lucas Neill, no harm in that you may think – there is when he was laughing and joking as if on a night out. Well, he is finished now – fuck him right off.

Next up Sunderland at home. A nailed on win surely - Sunderland being fatigued after being on a nationwide merchandise promotional tour. You know promoting the most influential football DVD to be realised in the history of the game.
Well not really but according to the blue side of the city it may as well be. Still can’t believe they released a DVD of a league win – tools.
Anyway we won 3-0, the game was awful though, really poor. But still better than a draw I suppose.

That brings us to this weekend and Chelski. With surprise surprise a draw. I was actually in Ireland, was at Leopardstown races. Saw the majority of the game, thought we were better side first half and it was even second half. Was a defo pen for Chelski, but if they moan about it tough – it makes up for the farce of the one given at Anfield.
Torres being out meant we were always going to struggle going forward, but still a draw at Chelsea is no bad result. Its just a pity it goes with the however many others.

I had to write about why we are looking a better cup side under Benitez for the Echo thing I do. In a nutshell it comes down to the other team having to come at us in a cup. Which allows us to exploit gaps. When teams put ten men behind the ball we miss cutting edge, bar Gerrard & Torres. A high quality winger is needed, so fuck Kewell off and make that the next port of call.
Oh well Champs League is around the corner with the unbeaten Inter as opponents.
I am going to both legs, looking forward to that – have been to Roma, which was really good. By all accounts the San Siro is better and the locals are far friendlier. The Milan boys will want us to dip Inter, the Inter boys are still thanking us for coming back against Milan.

So what about the Blue Shat? Am not going to go into every game, take too long that. I note that in general they have shut up shop and their defence is playing well. In fairness to the pricks they are playing well in general. Looks like it will be nip and tuck all the way for 4th place.
To quote Kevin Keegan “I’d luv it” if they finished fourth and we won the Champs Lge (again!) as they would be bumped out and that would well piss them off. There can’t even be any jibes of changing the rules as they were in place at the start of season.

Talking of Kevin Keegan, what the hell is all that about and then to bring Dennis Wise in – madness. Saying that if they get their first win against Man U, it would be classic.
With Manure in mind, god bless Man City! Shut them clowns right up. It leaves Arsenal 5pts clear and with Adebayor on fire it’s all in Arsenal’s hands. Hope so anyway as it makes work far more bearable.
Before the city game I said to Man U boys that it was the start of the end for them. City to do the double for the first time in an age, then Arsenal to knock them out of FA, Lyon to bump them and to add insult to injury Keegan to get first win to hand the League to Arsenal. Here’s hoping.

I see that big quiz thing is on again, will have to try and make one of them at some stage. Sounds like a laugh.
The Vegas flight search is underway, for some reason they are really expensive this year – hopefully still a little early, but almost 50% up on last year at the minute.
6 of us are going, 4 of whom are first timers who I imagine are in for a shock. A couple of them are good drinkers so will cope that side of things. One lad is a bit bad for gambling so he could be like a kid in a sweetshop. One lad is simply nuts, harmless but nuts nevertheless. Oh well all a laugh.

After Vegas I qualify for a free flight, so I am probably going to use that to come over your way. Saying that is my turn to pick the ‘family’ holiday so it may include sometime over anyway – if that is the case, make mine a Miller.

No jokes this week, oh hang on. Yakubu and his late return from the African Nations Cup. I believe Yobo went to get him after there 2 day break and said “C’mon Yak time to get back to work”
Yak replied, “Sod that, cant be bothered moving my lazy arse anywhere”
Pretty much like when he’s on the park I suppose. So Yobo went back on his own, meaning Yakubu had no valid excuse. His punishment was to miss a game, which to him was a reward as no effort required. A real club would sack a player for disrespecting them in such a manner surely. No doubt he will start scoring now I have sent stick his way, won’t stop me though. He is Lazy, crap and half the player Torres is. So Blueboys shove that in your pipe and smoke it.
