Webmaster's Thoughts, Comments And Rants |
I then discovered that my Blogger acount and Blog had been deleted by Google .....fecking bastards!
This was a blow to my ego as all my great rants had been removed from view, although there are some that are recoverable from one of the archive sites and I plan to do this one day.
Check out our archive weblogs with the links here and at the bottom of the page.

Sky Is Worse Than ITV! I can't believe I'm about to say this...but at the moment ITV's broadcasting of the match itself is miles better than Sky TV. Not the before and after waffle but the way the cameras show the actual game. This became obvious to me after I watched Chelsea beat Arsenal in the Champions League. Hardly a kick missed. Unlike Sky who have new policy of showing a replay every 30 seconds followed by zooming in to the back of a player's head, or some twat in the stands.....while the game is going on. So fecking annoying. Sky..you've got complacent and are obviously employing some dickhead directors. Get your act together.

Swedes Win Battle of The Vegetables England fancy their chances in Euro 2004. Sorry April Fool's day! I understand that the reason Sweden beat England last night, apart from the fact that they are crap, is.... Sweden played a flat pack four!

Fergie Must Reverse His Strategy For Success After Sunday's encouraging performance against the Arse I have the solution to United's future...and its not new. In fact its an old Fergie strategy. What is it? Play your best team from the start and when you are winning, consider resting some of the players. Voila! In the last 20 minutes on Sunday it was like watching United of old. Four up front; Giggs, Saha, Nistelrooy and Solskjaer. In no particular order; as long as Giggs is on the left and Solskjaer is playing. Having said, that Nistelrooy played like a puff; having had many chances to give the kraut nutter in goal some physical contact, but he declined. He can do better and must do. If he displayed Saha's aggressiveness then he'd be complete. Then again, if I was compassionate and romantic, so would I!

This Country Is Sinking Fast Two things that I heard yesterday just emphasised what a pathetic place this country is getting (is). 1. The powers that be are considering prison sentences for those folk who have not paid their speeding or other car related fines. 2. A Leisure Centre in Blackburn has banned swimmers from doing the backstroke to prevent dangerous collisions. Absolutely pathetic. Where's that 'Homes Abroad' magazine.

Zombies at McTrafford The McDonald's crowd are taking over at Old Trafford. The atmosphere at the Spurs game on Saturday must be one of the worst my brother and I have been to. I've never seen so many kids and women. And the bloody mess; spilt tea, coffee and tooth rotting coke, squashed pies and the usual discarded wrapping. Now we know where all those flying bags out on the windy pitch came from! Oh... and the silence. It's that bad we feel like we are lunatics let out of the asylum for the day when we shout during the game. Zombies are taking over the world. Made fat and brainless through overeating carbohydrates and staring at a box in their bedroom or in the corner of their living room. If this carries on and the referees continue to ruin the game by treating it like netball, then I'll stop going to home games and just try getting away tickets. Pass me that rope!

RYAN GIGGS IS NOT A FECKING FORWARD! How did Shitty beat us today? As long as I have a hole in my arse, Ryan Giggs will never, ever be a centre-forward or even a forward. HE'S ONLY GOT ONE FECKING LEG!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S A WINGER. By the way, this strategy has been going on for a couple of years now and is down to Sir Alex (I know best) Ferguson. Ole (I used to play up front and score goals) Solskjaer, is now relegated (which City will be next year) to paying cameo roles (that means he only plays a bit) on the left wing (well it makes it a change from the right). Is it worth paying £45 to see Arsenal tub the Reds in the semi-final of the FA Cup? Might as well, you never know, Giggs might score another wonder goal and then never go near the fecking touchline for 5 years.

Fergie Has Pacemaker For Irregular Heartbeat News came out this afternon that Alex Ferguson has had a pacemaker fitted to counteract an irregular heartbeat (who siad he didn't have a heart!). My question is, can the surgeons give him another pacemaker to counteract irregular team selection symptoms?

Russian Linesman Needs Wes's Lenses I could say 'We wus robbed' against Porto but it just isn't meant to be for United at present and hasn't been for quite a while. We had a lot of luck in 1999 and as is the nature of things, we are now paying the price. Not to mention an uncharacteristic tendency to be overcautious in a lot of games nowadays. Not only that, Old Trafford has been very poor from a Feng Shui basis ever since they had those ridiculous sharp corners protruding out from the North Stand. This causes cutting chi and can have a bad effect on those nearby. Cut explain some of the zombies who attend the matches. We need to remove these bad elements (and the protruding corners). You don't believe me do you? Oh ye of little faith.

Wes 'Lucky' Brown Strikes Again Well, he's done it again. [This is how I started my last weblog.] I've heard of missing the ball by a fraction but I reckon Wes ws very bad at Maths. He definitely needs contact lenses or a telescope. He couldn't tackle a crossword.....mind you I don't think he ever could. Great to see Ole getting a whole 2 minutes.....and on the left wing! WOW. Does that mean Giggs is going?
