We're Forever Blowing Bubbles, Helium Inflated Premier League Olympic Stadium Competition Distorting Bubbles In The Air
With the Porn Barons countersuing the Billionaire Betting Barber, a financial situation both murky and opaque, ##############################################, the London Depression Olympics and a relegation battle to boot.
Things are never dull in the East.
But having been fakely and falsely supported by ScudamoreWorld after all of the dodginess relating to Tevez and Mascherano and their indentured third party arrangements with a whole host of shady characters, and unbelievably allowed to maintain their Premier League place with no points deduction.
And following this on with a financial meltdown resulting in the delayed publishing of financial reports and accounts etc etc.
On the day after the victory that may well secure ScudamoreWorld participation for another year, who should we be to dampen the East London euphoria?
But the 2nd Most Favoured Team in the Premier League this year has been West Ham United.
Despite everything.
And the Most Favoured Team?
#############################################################
In ScudamoreWorld, gambling and porn pays.
Premier League Spooky Coincidence #1819
Who have been the referees for the six FA Cup Semi Finals covering the last three seasons?
Howard Webb and Alan Wiley, that's who...
Where Are Rafa's Loyalties Now? Where Are Rafa's Royalties Now?
Putting his personal CV ahead of the team that he manages? With his reputation? When he is scarpering off to Italy in the summer? With all those loyal fans still reluctantly believing in him enough to utter his name in chant?
Forget the Champions League fourth position financial necessity.
The Europa Cup is much more conducive to future earnings and priorities are lop-sided accordingly despite the chutzpah emanating from Rafa's collection of mouths.
An aside.
Precisely 0% of Real Madrid fans wish for Benitez to be the next FC Franco manager.
Correct they are...
The UEFA Cup Final 'triumph' against Marseille was a Barthez Affair [sending off and a penalty conceded], the Champions League 'triumph' against Milan was despite Rafa rather than because of him, the FA Cup 'triumph' versus West Ham United was ###############################################################, and last year's 2nd place was ScudamoreWorld-inflated.
Overrated and overpaid.
Already.
Soon to be richer still?
The difference between the top tier and the rest in management - the premier managers are devoted to the club strategically, the lesser plan only in the short term and from a personal perspective.
All those transfers between Merseyside and Madrid...
Robbie Keane at 55 grand a day...
Financial crisis due to leveraged debt and no Champions League place...
Hyperreal Hooligans
Louise Taylor understands football.
Louise Taylor writes for The Guardian.
Louise Taylor knows her working class social history from her post-imperial private education in the Middle East.
Louise Taylor reckons that she perceives the whereabouts of all the delinquents who used to be classed as 'football hooligans' - they now all write blogs denigrating the great and the good who are minting the game for their own proprietary benefits.

But we do prepare a blog and it targets people within the game so we read Taylor's deep thoughts with interest.
"There is an unfairness inherent in seeing people ridiculed and their reputations trashed by anonymous, factually challenged, half-wits who would probably never dare say "boo" to the object of their vitriol's face. Even worse, the suspicion is that witch-hunts are sometimes manufactured by the same numbskull submitting multiple comments via different usernames."
No comment.
Absolutely no comment in this place :)
"Really. Is this how the media works?" was Martin O'Neill's response to being informed that the 'rumours' surrounding his tenure at Villa Park were released on the web.
Unfortunately so, yes.
If the mainstream media that employs the likes of Louise Taylor were to report on the Reality of the sport in ScudamoreWorld, there would be no need for 'concerned hooligan of Scunthorpe' to waste their time pointing out the bleeding obvious.
Still.
Fortunately our privileged journalist has a solution - a reincarnation of the extreme modes of discipline that she experienced at her strict private school.
Yep, that should solve footballs ills...
Flog a Blogger.
Introduce it as half time entertainment.
