The Burnley Hillbillies - You're Just A Small Town Near Blackpool

Burnley is the sort of town where significant time in court may be taken to determine how far it is possible to spit at Turf Moor with the help of the wind whipping in off the Pennines.
A quarter of the town's population watch the football team.
It is a challenging place to be a visiting supporter, particularly when stood in the Burnley end trying to suppress your glee after Andy Preece had scored to give the Mighty 'Pool a 1-0 victory.

Thanks to Mick Whyte, a Critical Theorist who is obviously looking at the correct strata of hyperreality, we would like to prelude tomorrow's Blackburn Rovers versus Burnley Rumble In The Shire with the very excellent "A Dingle Goes To A Small Town Near Blackpool" from YouTube.

Check it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YyihwV8kl8&feature=related.

You should worry.
We have to live near these people.
And near Barnsley too.

Giving It Up The Ass, Taking It Up The Nose, Injecting It In The Lips; Why Maradona Is Proper And Pele Isn't

Please let the best ever footballer be able to continue his reign as the worst ever football manager for next years finals in South Africa.
Argentina were never going to be allowed to win the trophy due to the political hue in power there, and with the Argentinian FA taking on major media interests, there is some serious undermining to be undertaken.

But at least it will be fun while it lasts.

And the rig is on the way.
The share price in Desire Petroleum plc has ceased to rise as the machine source of the future earnings slowly journeys around the globe to Las Malvinas.
The buzz share is trading on speculation and psychology alone.
Which got us to thinking about the geopolitical systemic risk with the taking of any longer term investment in such disputed waters.

And if arbitration is ever required, we suggest that the following YouTube link be utilised as part of the case for the return of the Falkland Islands to their rightful owners.
There are simply too many highlights in the video to highlight anything.
Excellent stuff.

Data And Lies

Theo Guardian ran a report breathlessly telling us that there have only been 9 draws in the 76 matches in the Premier League prior to this weekend.
Thus ScudamoreWorld, the entity that puts pseudo-entertainment ahead of Reality, gives us just 12% of tied events while Serie A is currently offering one in three as equilibrium markets.
Just wait til the Murdochracy sorts that out.

But far more interesting than the raw data is the fact that i) in the first 66 matches, only four were drawn, ii) in the last round of matches, just after the news was first 'broken', five out of ten games were tied.

Just How Real?
