Hello hello!

So here we are on the brink of another premier league weekend following a pretty boring, but fairly harmless international break.

Now I say harmless....but not of you're Arsenal, Spurs, Wayne Rooney and family or worldwide relations between Christianity and Islam...Or you bowl no balls on purpose. And lots of other topical stuff.

England played twice this international break. Last time I wrote they beat Bulgaria 4-0 and well done!...they won twice. This time they made it trickier but still got a cozy three points against Switzerland, who they beat 1-3. Darren Bent grabbed his first England goal. Good for him. What with Defoe now crocked he may have a chance!

And that....is enough about that, although much of what there is to talk about touches on international footy.

Let's start with the injuries sustained by the North London clubs this week. Arsenal have lost Walcott and Van Persie for six weeks apiece while Spurs have lost Michael Dawson for two months and Jermaine Defoe for a full three months. It is a shame for the English players (dont get me wrong I'm still cheering the Spurs injuries) as they are/were all in excellent form, a shame for Van. Persie because it is now at the stage where he will never, ever reach his full potential because of his injury record.


I mean these injuries don't ruin either clubs season by a stretch but the Defoe and Van Persie ones are particularly unfortunate and damaging for their teams. Good news for United (who have suffered in this area as bad as anyone in recent years) and Chelsea, who's English players just sit out internationals unless they have a major tournament to completely underperform at....unless your Ashley Cole in which case you have to play - the only other option being mulling over your shitty divorce. Cunt!


Talking of divorce - how long does he have eh?! How ling till Coleen Rooney decides she is bored of suckling greedily from the "I still love and forgive him" udder of the media cash cow and decides to jack it in for the lovely alternative - the "I'm better off without him" divorce story.
I can't blame her. If I knew that all the dumb cunts in the country (there are lots) were willing to pay to hear about my sad life then I might go for it.

Rooney isn't bad for what he's done. He's just a fucking idiot - every body alive is capable of it, some just find it easier to be a prick than others do. Wayne obviously finds it really fuckin easy. Or he's just naturally dumb - the likely answer. If I'm honest, anything that disrupts united's season is fine by me. Can't believe I spent so long on that topic. Sheesh I'm angry this evening!


Back to footy and there and a load of games this weekend the best of which is the early kick off between Everton and Man United. Always competitive that one, and with everything from Rooney-gate this week there will be a nice bit of spice to it too, no matter what the managers might say!


Then there is West Ham v Chelsea on Saturday and a couple of good games later in the weekend - Bham v Lpool in the clash of the abbreviated cities and Stoke v Villa in a cruncher of a game on Monday.


Love real football.


In podnews, there was a new cast up Tuesday which I couldn't make the recording of - thanks to tommy for filling in!

Keep happy and have a good weekend!
