Red: My Autobiography By Gary Neville (Bantam Press 2011)

Red: My Autobiography By Gary Neville (Bantam Press 2011) Jaap Stam was sold, which was a bombshell as big as Sparky leaving, even for the players – especially for the players. We were as mystified as anyone. All kinds of conspiracies swirled around because Jaap's exit came on the back of his 'controversial' autobiography; but I've always believed that the book was a minor factor, perhaps irrelevant. I know the manager wasn't thrilled about the book, and nor was I at being called a 'busy cunt'. Jaap had called me that to my face many times, and I know it was meant affectionately, but it didn't look quite so [...]

One of those strange I should have known that football facts . . .

. . . from today's excellent Joy of Six : "Given Manchester United have just won a record 19th English league championship, the fact that they've had only three title-winning managers comes as quite a surprise." And of course Ron Saunders should have got an honorable mention.

Tenderness

Tenderness With reference to this photo: I love the exasperated cry from 'WackAttack' in the comments box of today's Five things we learned from the Premier League this weekend column: Thanks for putting that photo up on two different stories. One of my colleagues just walked past and commented "Are you still looking at that picture?" The picture captures in all its glory the love that dares not speak [...]

'Did the boy with the comb over do a step over as part of the walk over?'

'Did the boy with the comb over do a step over as part of the walk over?' Nice result for Everton today. And on the back of beating Chelsea the other week. If only they got the memo that the season starts in August rather than late November, they'd be a shoe in for the fourth place. They might still make it but it'll be close and, as they don't have much depth to their squad, they're only a couple of injuries away from the wheels coming off their recent resurgence. I've got to ask, though: what's the deal with Dan Gosling's hair in the picture below? [...]

Touched by the foot of Hod

Glenn Hoddle Strike V Man Utd
Stumbled across this wonderful old Joy of Six article from the Guardian's Rob Smyth in the draft section of the blog and I realised it would be a dereliction of footie duty if I didn't bring it to the attention of my readership . Check out Krankl's volley against West Germany at the '78 World Cup in Argentina. Is that not a nugget of bastard genius? When you have a left foot as sweet as that you can be forgiven for abominations like this . . . maybe. Sit [...]

Too surprised to blog

Too surprised to blog Michael Owen signs for Man Utd? We're looking at the most inspired signing of the pre-season or ' Garry Birtles : The Remake'.

Another gem . . .

Another gem . . . . . . via the good folk at Urban 75. March 14th seems so long ago.

Ruffled Benitez

Ruffled Benitez Inspired . . . and I don't even have that much of a problem with either Benitez or Liverpool. Once again, Fergie wins the minds games and Man Utd wins the title . Sammy Lee as Uncle Albert is just brilliant. Made my day seeing that. Those Surrey Reds can be creative when they put their minds to it. Hat tip to the good people at Urban 75 .

There's 120 Minutes I'll Never Get Back

There's 120 Minutes I'll Never Get Back Huh...? Wha....? Is it over...? *Rubs eyes* What did I miss...? Nothing...? .. not a single goal..? What I did see Ronnie Ronaldo falling down every time he was challenged, I should have done something with the prediction league where the players had to guess how many. - Oh I did promise to post something from the winners didn't I. Me and my big mouth... I was hoping that the other side would have pulled off an upset because I had a [...]

News And Tributes

News And Tributes Somewhat belatedly... I mentioned in a previous Prediction League mailout that the 1st week of February was a bit of a black hole music-wise. Specifically with February 3rd, 1959 and the aircrash which took the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & The Big Bopper. But it wasn't just in music in which there was a big loss, football-wise too. Also in the beginning of February, one year and three days before the above was an event which devastated and nearly caused Manchester United Football Club to fold. [...]

Calypso Collected - Part 1

Calypso Collected - Part 1 The weather is closing in, getting a bit nippy outside of a night. Perfect time to post some calypso music... I've previously posted a couple of football and calypso music tracks here and here - this is part one of a two part post that will gather them all together. Yes that's right, there are so many footie&calypso songs that I had to split this in half. In the 50's there was a craze for the music in Britain and this even spread [...]
