Henry goes to Hollywood
[velocity: its all relative] So our opening game is against the magpies at home, we face chelski on dec 17 and the devils on january 2nd. Looking at things, we might be on the brink of signing both guti(real madrid reject) and hlebs(hope i spelt that right..some obscure winger from belarus) but that would see the departure of Pires who is being a fag by not accepting his 1 year contract.OH and you have to see the new arsenal kit at www.arsenal.com.

Tits & Ass beats Glazer!!!
[AdScam/The Horror!] I did mention in an earlier post that most of the feed back comments on the Malcom Glazer purchase of ManchesterUnited came from rabid football fans... But, I forgot to mention that by far most of the hits on the blog up to date have been in response to the "Tits &

Malcolm in the Middle
[The Flack] Tampa Bay Buccaneer owner/businessman Malcolm Glazer's quest to buy one of the most venerable names in all of pro sports -- Manchester United -- has hit unprecedented resistance in the UK (and elsewhere). He may look like an Irish leprechaun (is there any other kind?), but as an American -- and I believe an Orthodox Jewish-American -- his acquisition has prompted the kind of personal attacks rivaling the best that a resurgent anti-Semitic and anti-American Europe has to offer.

Herzog and De Meuron’s Allianz Arena
[ColumnNetwork.org] The new Allianz Arena football stadium in Munich, designed by Herzog and De Meuron, is a quite beautiful piece of work, which puts Norman Foster’s compromised new Wembley to shame on several fronts. For a start, it’s come in on time and on budget (for a quarter that of Wembley, actually), but also features innovations such as cashless payment, is acoustically brilliant, and its distinctive appearance has already been taken to heart by locals, who have dubbed it ‘the rubber dinghy’.

Is being Scottish bad for your health?
[Shuggy's Blogspot] Researchers at Edinburgh University revealed that an unknown "X-factor" - not linked to the usual suspects of poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise and poverty - appears to be responsible for those living in Scotland having a 50 per cent higher chance of getting the potentially fatal condition than people south of the Border."Interesting - although I'll reserve judgment: one piece of research I saw showed that people in Bearsden - a relatively prosperous Glasgow suburb - has health rates much the same as the South of England. In neighbouring Drumchapel - one of Glasgow's four peripheral council housing (I should say, housing association now) estates - one can expect to die 10 years earlier, on average.

Let's talk about MLS attendance
[Ramblings of a Soccer Junky] Yeah, you'll get more people at any sporting event with fireworks (MLB has known this for years) but with the smaller stadiums being built, the only way teams in LA, Columbus, Dallas and Chicago will be able to benefit from better attendance with fireworks is if they bump prices for the single game as they won't have thousands of empty seats to fill.

Americans are antsy over CNOOC's (China National O...
[Ground Control to Major Tom] Actually, I'd prefer CNOOC to offer US$17.5 billion instead and spend the remaining billion on a hostile takeover of Malcolm Glazer's Manchester United. And I wouldn't mind the new adminstrators renaming certain stands in Chinese or emphasizing the 'Red' in Red Devils.

Koeman bound for Benfica
[Football United] Koeman had long been touted as the most likely successor to Trapattoni, who chose not to guide Benfica into the Champions League, preferring to be close to his home and family in Italy. However, in recent days, the Dutchman had been only one name on a list of potential candidates which included former Olympique Lyonnais coach Paul Le Guen, Javier Irureta and Alberto Zaccheroni.

lacrosse - why is it popular?
[Most Valuable Network - Tennis Diary] Lacrosse has very strict rules about the dimensions of the stick. The webbing that holds the ball cannot be too deep because that would make it too easy for the attacker to hold onto the ball while fighting through wrap checks, slap checks, poke checks and body checks on their way to the goal.

US Wins in Salt Lake City
[WombatNation] While I wouldn’t say that Salt Lake City is rich with lots to do and see, there’s definitely enough to fill a weekend. There was even a great Chilean deli on Main Street in what appeared to be the ethnic district (at least 4 non-American oriented businesses within a single block).

Thurston Moore on mix tapes and mp3s

I love Van Basten
[chaotic intransient prose bursts] Going in against the traditional way of selecting players, Van Basten has become an oddity in the world of national team coaching by picking players purely on performance. He ignores celebrity ranking, income, age or experience. So far he has given 15 rookies a chance to prove themselves, telling them: “Je bent een goede voetballer, laat het zien.” (“You're a good player, now go and show it”). Yesterday, Van Basten dropped PSV's Van Bommel from the selection because he thought Van Bommel “wasn't good enough”.
