22 - Ferguson loses case / Ferdinand form loss / Gary Neville prank call
Tonight's entry has some amount of respect for Robbie Williams now.
Quite rightly, Jose Mourinho is widely being thought of as a wanker for trademarking his own name, presumably in case somebody brings out The Jose Mourinho Polygraph Test, that actually goes haywire if you speak the truth. Thankfully, Fergie probably won't be able to do the same.
With rather inconsistent laws aside, I don't know why all of a sudden he wants to do this. He's coming to the end of his career now, with these last couple of years being the most fallow of his managerial stint at United since the first four years of the stint. His marketing potential is dropping, and besides, who the fuck wants a poster of him on their wall anyway? That would be some sight to wake up to, wouldn't it?
I'm amused to find out that Michael Owen has his name protected. Presumably you can buy Michael Owen casino chips, Michael Owen betting slips and Michael Owen bill running into thousands of pounds from Ladbrokes.
********************
My grudge against international football goes far beyond the grudge that many United fans hold against the England national team for injuries our players ALWAYS seem to get whilst on international duty, or because of thick cunt England fans booing United players whilst they're on international duty. World Cups, European Championships - fine. But friendly matches and the utter stupidity of the scheduling of qualifying games, that means that the beginning and end of seasons become so fragmented, utterly infuriate me.
Which is why I have met all the discussion about Rio Ferdinand's place in the England team with absolute apathy. But looking at it further, maybe him being dropped for the comparatively lumbering but positionally superior Sol Campbell will be a good thing for United as his ponderous and crap form will certainly need to improve if he wants to regain his international place.
Indeed, Rio has a lot to think about currently. If he thought United fans were just going to be all sweetness and light with him after he finally decided to grudgingly sign a new contract in the summer despite all the support United fans showed him after the monumentally idiotic failed wee/container interface, then he was very much mistaken, as he might have gathered from the boos he got last Saturday when he was handed the captain's armband when Ryan Giggs was substituted.
He has a lot to prove. He has had room to rest on his laurels with the management as they are no longer brave enough to blood talents such as Gerard Pique or the on-loan Paul McShane or Jonathan Spector to replace him, plus the fact that defensive injuries have meant even less pressure on his first-team place, but the fans are far less forgiving and we have noticed, Rio.

You might not find a bigger fan of Sir Gary Of Neville than myself - but it doesn't stop this recording of an argument he had with a kid who was pranking his mobile being hilarious.
"Who's Tony Adams?! Shut up, you fuckin' dick!"
Quite splendid.
I'm off to find out his number and ask him if he'll come round and play Mario Golf with us.
