Second post in a couple of hours, I don't know how the servers are going to cope

Being the pretty big prick that I am I like to go and post snide comments at The World Game.

Often these posts are either praising Tim Vickery and questioning why he decides to associate with such a bunch of charlatans like Fos and Les or just paying out on Fos and Les for their Sydney bias and fetish for foreign accents.

But what I've been noticing even more is that my comments are being edited or deleted entirely. Fuck, I don't mind if they delete it entirely it just shows how much of an egomaniac Les is, but when my comments get edited so it looks like I'm praising those gimps is what really pisses me off.

I think that maybe I should try a new tactic. Instead of criticisng Fos I should start complementing and encouraging him. I should play it up that he has the smartest and shrewdest football brain in Australia. If he keeps on reading all of this shit that I feed him I'm hoping that one day he'll decide enough is enough and he'll become coach of Sydney FC.

And once he's cocked that up I'll be able to send email after email filled with bile about how much of a perma-tanned gimp he is (what shade of orange is that? Radioactive orange?). Then I'll pay for a flight for Terry Butcher to come over and punch Fossie in the nads.

Ok, Sounds like a plan.

3-2-1, break

Back from Hiatus

Ok granted that no one has posted on this blog since August last year but I feel like I need a place to start spreading shit about SBS on the internet. And considering that they delete my abusive comments that I leave on everyone of Les Murray's articles I figured that this would be the best place.

The game against Kuwait last week was cringeworthy. Everytime we gave up possession cheaply or punted a long ball up forward was excruciatingly painful to watch. But the one thought that was in the forefront of my mind after Kuwait scored was "shit, now we have to listen to all of the crap paying out on the A League players being garbage". The reason why this pisses me off is because of the duality. In the Asian Cup we had an absolutely rancid tournament and players like Grella and Neill were shielded from the criticism because of TWG's (The World Game, SBS's football mouthpiece) vendetta against current Australian coach Graham Arnold. They blasted Arnold for being tactically naive and not ready for the job.

All I want now is for SBS to treat Pim Verbeek in exactly the same manner. His team gets well beaten by poor oposition and there are two ways this can be seen: the first that players who led Adelaide to the Asian Champions League final have suddenly become shit or the second which is that the manager has failed to adequately articulate what they have to do to win the game. I am of the latter opinion. I work on the premise that the vast majority of footballers are dumb, and if you left it to them they'd be hoofing balls forward and trying to score from 30 yards out all of the time. It is the coaches role to curb this instinct and instill a style of play which may not be as direct but is infinitely more efficient. This is what Pim has failed to do.

On top of this the squad he put together indicates that he must have been sleeping during some of the A League games he has been watching. The problem is not with A League players, but the A League players that Pim selects.

Australia: Eugene Galekovic (gk), Craig Moore, Archie Thompson, Matt McKay, Paul Reid, Matt Simon, Rod Vargas, Tom Pondeljak, Matt Thompson, Michael Zullo, Daniel Mullen Subs: 111. Fabian Barbiero, 35. Robert Cornthwaite, 68. Tarek Elrich, 72. Dean Heffernan, 109. Mitch Nichols, 99. Michael Theoklitos (GK), 49. Nikolai Topor-Stanley

The players who do not belong in the squad are:

Matt Simon - the epitomy of everything that is wrong with Australian football. Hard work + no skill = Socceroo. He's a poor man's Danny Allsop, and if you're a poor man's Danny then you must be like Somalian poor.

Daniel Mullen - why?

Matt McKay - amazing what a wrap this guy gets for the work that Massimo Murdocca does. He goes missing more than Olivia Newton Johns boyfriend.

Fabian Barbiero - acording to Mark Bosnich "a swallow doesn't make a summer" but for this guy it seems that a flukey goal makes a international appearance. How he is in front of Nicky Ward or Celeski is beyond me.

Dean Heffernan - Two words, Matthew Kemp. Kemp has pretty much run the left flank for the Victory by himself all season. While Heffernan's greatest acheivement is growing a Shannon Noll goatie.
Mitch Nichols - This is the kind of guy who makes Chook look proficient in front of goal. Having him start in front of Charlie Miller is the reason why Queensland are not going to play Asian Champions League next season.

Topor Stanley - And finally Mr Topor Stanley. In a way I love this guy. He gives me hope that one day i'll become an international level footballer. He turns slower than milk and he seems to play a game where he can see how many times in a game he can turn the ball over. Have a look at the Newcastle game last night. Fuck I feel sorry for Van Egmond.

Anyone who wants to defend Pim, I put to you the argument that his idea of a Plan B is to put Robbie Cornthwaite on as a striker in the second half. Suck on that one Les.

The Second coming of the Messiah is apon us!

Behold our saviour has returned...

Next Round Katie Lee vs Kelly Kelly

The wonderful world according to Ernie Merrick

VICTORY coach Ernie Merrick has defended his decision to allow Kaz Patafta to join Newcastle Jets and claimed Melbourne still have young star quality.

Patafta arrived at Victory on a one-year loan from Portuguese giant Benfica in June last year and made 14 Hyundai A-League appearances for the club, scoring his first goal against Wellington Phoenix in Round 20.

The 19-year-old played in four of Victory’s AFC Champions League 2008 matches and was mutually released from his Benfica contract last month.

But instead of staying with Victory where he was frequently sidelined and denied a starting role, Patafta has opted for a move to the Hunter Valley.

Victory Coach Ernie Merrick said the club didn’t want to stand in the way of Patafta’s ambitions and will look to add to both its senior and youth squads with further youngsters.

“Kaz is a promising young player and we don’t want to stand in his way of trying to secure a regular first-team position,” Merrick said.

“Kaz sees more opportunities with Newcastle and we wish him all the best for the future.

“We currently have five quality players aged 20 or younger – Leigh Broxham, Sebastian Ryall, Mitchell Langerak, Evan Berger and Nathan Elasi – and we’ll continue to sign more exciting youngsters to strengthen our first-team and our new National Youth League side.”

Now Patafta is looking forward to his new club and the chance to be a first team regular at last.

“It’s been a great season in Melbourne and I’ve really enjoyed my time here,” Patafta said.

“I’ve learnt a lot both on and off the field from everyone at Victory and I’ve been happy living in this great city for the past 12 months.

“At this point in time it’s important for me to aim to be playing regularly, which I believe is the only way to improve at senior level.

“I’m really looking forward to a new challenge and trying to prove and cement myself as a regular first-team player.”

Wow he is so right, why do we need Kaz when we have quality youngsters like Broxham, Ryall, Berger and Elasi... and to think i was going to write to my friend Cole again asking for his resignation.

Belated GSE News

So there hasnt been much posting for the last month. Fuck I've been pretty busy and very fucking lazy. So here we go as I try to cram in as much news as I can:

1. Former Liverpool winger Harry Kewell has revealed his desire to finish his career in the United States, with New York his preferred destination.

The 29 year old told the press in Australia where he is on international duty: "Playing there (in the USA) is certainly something I'd consider. Not now, but further down the line. You never know. I do love the place."

Kewell who was married in Las Vegas and takes frequent holidays in America made it plain that he would be more than happy to finish his career in the MLS.
He said: "I love it, I love the place."

The Australian captain, who joined Liverpool from Leeds United in 2003, has made only eight league starts this season as injury, poor form and a host of new arrivals at Anfield curtailed his first team chances.

2. West Ham defender Christian Dailly could be set for a permanent move to Rangers.

The Scottish defender fell down the pecking order at Upton Park last season under boss Alan Curbishley and spent most of the campaign at Ibrox.

3. A Freddie Sears brace gave England's under 19s the perfect start in their European Championship Elite Round qaulifiers.

Sears scored both of England's goals as Brian Eastick's side beat Poland 2-0 in Minsk this morning - the first of three qualifying games they will play this week. Sears - partnered in the team by fellow Hammer James Tomkins - opened the scoring on the half hour mark before securing all three points five minutes from time from the penalty spot.

4. Things are moving fast for Orlando Engelaar these days. After another impressive season with Twente, he’s now building a reputation for himself with the Netherlands as well and looks set to seal a dream move to a major club.

The likes of Ajax, PSV Eindhoven, Olympique de Marseille and West Ham United are all interested in signing the 1.98-metre tall midfielder, but he says he favours a transfer to Fred Rutten’s Schalke.

5. A planning application to bulldoze Green Street's famous Queens pub has been submitted by developers St.Modwen.

St.Modwen - who describe themselves on their website as 'a prestigious city-oriented UK based company which specialises in the regeneration of brownfield and urban environments' - plan to pull down the famous pub and nearby market, a regular haunt of Hammers fans on matchday.

In its place will go a new market hall plus 350 luxury apartments - although there are no plans to replace the pub, which recently underwent a revamp courtesy of brewers Scottish & Newcastle.

An artists impression of the new Queens Market developmentSt.Modwens are no strangers to controversy having been previously involved with the Brighton West Pier fiasco in which their Heritage Lottery funding was suddenly withdrawn. The Heritage Lottery Fund withdrew their offer to cover the costs after it was revealed that St.Modwen's claim for £19 million was some £6 million higher than alternative plans.Visit Friends of Queens Market for more details on the campaign to save the existing market.
