Premier League whining makes me vomit
In the week that the Premier League announced plans to take the game global Manchester United, smarting at a 2-1 defeat at home to rivals City, showed just how much rubbish these clubs can produce.
United's assistant manager Carlos somebody or other blamed the meaningless international friendlies midweek for his teams' defeat in the Manchester derby on Sunday.
Don't expect the media to kick up to much of a hoo haa over this. Sky's billions have house trained many of the people who 'write' about the game and critical thinking by a journalist is likely to see him banned from the finger food buffet and his cushty car parking spot given to someone more in tune with the party line.
I say poo poo to you and may a nail filled baseball bat be placed in a part of your anatomy where daylight is never seen.
A week or so earlier, dollar signs in their eyes, United had happily traipsed over to Saudi Arabia to play some nonsense game for some player nobody had heard of. This jaunt of course will have had no impact whatsoever over United's subsequent performances, the million quid they cleared would ensure that while anyway, you fans can always buy official pictures of the match here.
The arrogance, greed and hypocrisay emanating from the 'elite' of English football will hopefully be felt by other people and other countries. Already the Japanese have said they don't want English clubs playing competitive games in their country.
No matter. Perhaps FIFA will need to sanction the games. Perhaps not.
One hopes that local FA's in countries round the world will not extend an invitation but we can be sure Malaysia would welcome a game with open arms. No doubt it would encourage tourism to their country and really does anyone care about their own domestic league?
Pass me a bucket
