Cripples and Geordies

It’s summer here in Sydney. Not the greatest summer day but it’ll probably get gradually hotter during the afternoon. You sometimes see Arsenal games on Fox Sports and think, “Wow, the weather looks shit.” Mark Bridges was mentioning how the A-League is great in the respect in that you don’t freeze to death when playing, but honestly if you look at Newcastle (the better golden Newcastle) or Melbourne (hosting the Australian Open) you could expect someone to spontaneously explode. Now on to news.

ARSENAL:

Robin Van Persie’s dead or something else. Honestly Van Persie is slowly turning into Harry Kewell. You know cause’ of the black hair and left foot of doom and everything. Next he’ll turn into an Australian with a weird Pom melded Australian accent – he’ll start whining about how Leeds made his injuries worse.

Van Kewell will play in a Champions League final and then go off after about 20 minutes. On the bright side he’ll single-handedly score one of the most important goals in Dutch football against Croatia to make up for Van der Sar’s previous mistake. In true Kewell fashion he’ll got gout or arthritis or fungus or whatever in his foot and then subsequently miss Holland’s game against Italy in which Holland loses 1 – 0.
Sorry about all that – but Jesus Christ Van Persie is looking like he has cerebral palsy.

Van Persie gets his acting carrer off the ground.

Djourou’s out too, we have cover in Senderos though so it doesn’t worry me too much unlike some other people. Senderos is a great defender technically, but his composure isn’t all that great. At least he’s better than Titus Bramble. Nothing really else to say bout’ Arsenal so onto things that are pom.

OTHER PREMIER LEAGUE GOINGS ON:

It’s weird – the only other premier league news I can sort of… laugh-if-fy is all the Keegan stuff. Wigan went and loanded-out a guy who works for Honda. Birmingham gets closer and closer to McFadden. The rejected bastard Defoe talks to a Villa. What kind of idiot talks to a house?

Keegan wants the Geordies to have DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMS.
"As long as they are realistic and patient I think we can try again to help them have dreams and possibly win something."
Yeah.

You can dream.

Nothing much else to say about that really. On to business down under.

HYUNDAI A-LEAGUE:

The Jets play the “Glory” today at EnergyAUS, not much media hype around this one. I’ll have a report up later in the day. As I said yesterday, 5 – 2 to the Jets. Griffiths, Griffiths, Griffiths, Griffiths, Griffiths for the Jets. Rukawindowsvista and Harnwell for the Glory. On Total Football the other day Joel himself hinted that Ryan would sign on either a loan or a freebie if Bucharest let him go. The 3 Griffiths brothers at Newcastle would be absolutely mad (Not “fully mad bro”, just mad crazy mad.) – It’d be like the 3 muskateers. Joel’s going to Pierre’s Avispa Fukuoka on loan after the finals. Avispa Fukouka have a great as name as Ufuk Talay.

Is this blog movie-centric or something?

All the media speculation is on the big city derby match thing. Of course Melbourne against Sydney is on Sunday and I’m not really bothered to cover all the hype and all the crap that Merrick says. To be honest Kosmina’s not really saying much to the media, he’s doing things like preparing his team.

Oh and, the Jets signed a Korean.

Hopefully he isn’t that guy.

Signing a player JUST for the finals is pretty weird though. You play about 1/2/3 games then do nothing for about 9 months until the Pre-Season cup starts. The guy is at a good age for a playmaker at only 20 years old. Korean Cesc maybe? Probably not that good. For the Jets fans, I hope he turns out better than Jardel. Why can’t Kossie sign anyone for Sydney? We want a Korean too. Maybe we could get Hyuk-Su to assassinate Zadkovich or something.

Central Coast against Wellington tommorow. I’m hoping Wellington can win, they’ve just killed the Knights in terms of everything and they may actually be better than the actual New Zealand National team even though they’re bottom. Is that a curse for New Zealand teams? Why do they keep finishing bottom? Seriously they don’t deserve that, Perth deserves to be bottom but not Wellington. On to Socceroos then.

 

SOCCEROOS:

Cahill puts his hand up for Qatar. Not much else to say except that bastard Moyes will start bitching about him needing a rest. No funny image.

 

That’s it until the Jets Game, cheers.
