On the Eve of the new Season...

I'm not saying that I would, but if I had been on the pitch at that moment (or even at the visitors end), I can't say definitively that I wouldn't either.

Oh, and the ongoing disintegration of John Terry has reached crisis mode.  Fabio had better start to worry…

He should have been callled for a penalty for tugging a shirt as the player was breaking away from him into the box a few minutes before he WAS called for a penalty - yet somehow he escapes a card for handling in the box in front of his keeper.  Then he got into a spat with a fan heading down the tunnel at halftime (wonder what the fan said…).

This was only topped by his second half performance, where he earns his first yellow for a takedown that very easily could have been a red card had Alex not been ruled close to the play.  Only three minutes later does he get sent off for a late tackle on Bale near the sidelines.

Really, four bookable offenses, 2-3 possible penalty calls, two yellow cards, one red card and a spat with a fan all in one day.  The point of all this?  Just to tell you about the Chelsea fan who told me about the article where I was told to admire John Terry's balls after I made an off-color joke about how much the man has fallen apart before today's Spurs match.

i agree on jt, obviously. but wasnt it funny that ancelotti uses his last two subs at the half and drogs pulls up limp before they even kick off? if i wasnt holding a baby i would have fallen out of my chair

It was pretty amazing, but anybody but Drogba, right?  Has there ever been a player in football who so blatantly plays injury mind games with defenders to attempt to gain an advantage?  It's far beyond absurd at this point.

Was listening to a fantastic podcast discussion about who you would kiss on the team you support.

Here are mine:

Kiss on both cheeks - Vidic

Kiss on the lips- Owen

Tounge- Hargreaves

i'll go colocinni, carroll, harper in the same order

once he comes back from loan, its all about xisco though

That's the greatest joke I've heard about it yet.

I used to have a tie for my most hated team between Italy and France.  Now it's Italy for sure, and only because she was underage.

and since i'm in this thread, might as well add:

i'll be honest, i thought of it this morning and got way too frustrated with the board being down

i dont even like italy and i'm half italian

You can't compare.

France plays elegant, stylish and classy soccer. ENTERTAINING!

The Italians are deadly but are almost always incredibly boring to watch with their cattenacio variant of soccer. Best team in the world up 1-0 (much like Germany is the best team in the world down 1-0). Argentina is definitely one of the worst teams with a 1-0 lead.

rumor going around that gerkard has impregnated a 16 year old. and apparently his wife is banging a derby county player
