33 - Lille 1 United 0 / Keane fallout / Saha
Tonight's entry just can't understand how one sky can hold so much rain.


Stop me if you've heard this one. 4-5-1 DOES NOT WORK. Ferdinand crap. Silvestre crap. O'Shea crap. Fletcher crap. Smith crap. van Nistelrooy crap. Too many players out of position. Complete lack of penetration. Just not good enough.

This record's been played more fucking times than that bleeding Pussycat Dolls one. NO, I WISH YOU WOULD PISS OFF AND NEVER SING EVER AGAIN. I just don't know what more needs to be said, or indeed what more CAN be said. I guess we just have to wait to hear Fergie explain away a pathetic performance and more pathetic tactics with lots of bollocks about being unlucky and the referee being crap. Just you watch. I'll give odds of 1/100 on it.

Chelsea await on Sunday. Smith and Fletcher versus Lampard and Essien. It's almost as if the Marquis De Sade dreamt it up.

**************************


I'd like to shake the hand of whoever it was that found out exactly what Roy Keane said in his censored interview, and brought it into the public domain WHERE IT SHOULD BE. Nevertheless, whoever is to blame for getting the interview on MUTV pulled is a complete fucking idiot. If it had aired on the channel, which is watched by my mum and practically no-one else, then there wouldn't have been half the fuss.

But no, further highlighting the vein of incompetence that now runs through the club like the River Amazon, they decided to haul it off the air thinking that no-one would notice and that transcripts of the interview wouldn't make it into the public. It's a tragic and really fucking idiotic chain of events that no-one comes out of with any credit, apart from Roy Keane, whose only crime was to actually care. His comments were, almost to a letter, absolutely spot on. Rio Ferdinand is an absolute disgrace at the moment - a phrase that is overused and rather dramatic, granted, but absolutely spot on under the current circumstances.

The only thing I can't agree on is that we should be getting rid of these players before we bring in new ones. As frightening as it may be, these are pretty much all we've got at the moment because Ferguson has become allergic to blooding a large amount of young talent at once outside of the Complete Waste Of Fucking Time Cup (or Carling Cup as it's occasionally known). So now we're waiting and hoping, with help from Ferguson not farting around with really, really stupid tactical decisions, that these players do find the form that almost all of them are capable of producing.

I'll be here holding my breath and presumably in need of an oxygen tent by the end of the month.

It's all too serious on this journal these days, so let's have a laugh, shall we?

Look, Louis Saha resumes training tomorrow! And he means it too!

Right, time to run a sweep-stake on what his next injury will be:-

1) Trips over his front doormat and breaks his toe.

2) Drops a bottle of Wash & Go on his foot in the shower, breaking his metatarsal.

3) Gets his finger stuck in the button-hole of his shirt, breaking it.

4) Gets far too excited over the reappearance of Joe Mangel on Neighbours and puts his back out shouting "LE YAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

5) Acting as the referee in a practice match, he swallows the whistle.

6) Has a heart-attack after witnessing Paul Scholes timing a tackle perfectly in training.

Place your bets!


I'm off to research the possibility of monkeys living in the Arctic.

You were close with the Fergie excuse thing; he said the phrase "poor pitch" more than once in his post-match interview with Sky. What ya reckon to all this Fergie Out stuff, you think his time's ran out?

And I saw Saha's house on Footballers Cribs, he has a lot of gadgets and small children to trip over.

His time is gone. There are far too many incidents and errors occurring - things that would not have happened five years ago. His tactics are wrong, his team is wrong, he's over-reliant on Queiroz, and most of all he's lost all grip on reality.

Does Ards stand for something? I've always wondered what was with that name.

Keane was totally right in his comments and i think Fergie claimed Man Yoo were unlucky not get a draw.
