Super Bowl Sunday looms large! Will we have the nerve to concentrate when such a seminal event exists like a capitalist pig floating overhead in a Macy’s parade?
The FA Cup produced some interesting draws for round five. Chelsea play a team from the SBPSL premier division, while ManUre are pitted against Arsenal at the Theatre of Dreams. Mark your calendars for that one, buoys. One team is guaranteed NOT to win the treble this year.
Premiership games this week were basically uneventful, although Liverpool have basically been eliminated from the title, losing to the Hammers by a 90th minute penalty. Arsenal saw consecutive 3-0 victories over the Magpies, the first being their FA Cup tie over the weekend. ManUre looked cool and composed for an easy win over Pompey, with Ronaldo’s first half brace sealing the game in minute 15. That’s a shitload of goals for number 7 of the Red Devils. What happens if he is injured?? Chelsea kept in contention with a workman-like 1-0 win over Reading. They are ugly, but they win. Ballack scored the winner. Welcome back, die Berliner!
Champions League knock-out rounds are around the corner. ManUre face Lyon, or the sharks versus the minnows. The tie of the tournament thus far will be AC Milan and Arsenal. AC have looked dismal as a mid-table team in the Serie A, but always have the ability to dominate in this format. Look for Kaka to regain his form, while Ronaldo (Brazilian) to eat many donuts before the match.
The biggest move of the transfer window has been Woodie’s switch to Spurs. He deserves the cunts!
