Well I hear the the Comedy Channel is looking to show Liverpool's game on their station and I say WHY NOT!
These boys have been too farcical the last few times and it just sucks watching how crap they are.
Last Saturdays game saw them playing a Southampton team which they should have beaten but after 22 minutes we were 2 zip!
And the players looked bored!!
Geez!!
Us supporters die for this team and they play crap!

Pokered off
I do not understand the world’s current fascination with poker. I turned on the TV a few days ago and on one sports channel there was poker and on ESPN there was poker. Then there are advertisements on the sports channels for poker!!
What is the fascination with poker, you see a bunch of people sitting around looking at cards and betting for money. My issue is that why waste valuable air time on a sports channel? Don’t they have a channel that this “Sport” can be shown on rather than ESPN or Foxsports?
Where is the excitement or athleticism of the “sport”? Where is the skill (how hard is it to hold a deck of cards) and what about the emotion as most players try not to show any in case they reveal their hand.
Ok someone could get some glee from seeing some badly dressed 40 year old overweight slob with bad hair and bad skin and no style losing $10,000 bet but is it something they will remember?
Will they remember a curling Beckham free kick from 35 metres into the back of goal or a royal flush?
Will the people remember a game winning shot by Michael Jordan or Joe Bloggs Straight?
Will the world of sports enthusiasts awe at and athlete winning the 200m and 400m gold medals at the Olympics or Mr Flannelette winning $100,000 in a game. (ok the money is good but winning the 200m and 400m will probably get you at least 10 fold that amount in endorsements)
I mean these guys sit there and hold cards? And that’s what you see. Then what about commentating – we see the players sit there with cards so what else are you going to talk about.
Really, all I am saying is why do we have to see poker when the networks can show something more interesting like basketball or soccer or athletics, gee even ping pong will be better.

The FA'CUP
Well, I just saw the FA cup result against Burnley and am just down right embarrassed.
I can’t believe Benitez played a second string side and we paid the price by losing 1-0.
Maybe he did not want to put too much pressure on the team and decided it would be easier if we lost by playing a crap side!
Or maybe he did not want to risk injury with the better players against an opposition who may play a more rural hacking style of game!
I don’t know, what was going in Rafa’s mind!! When we were up were playing against 10 men with Man U he should have played 3 defenders and pushed someone into the attacking midfield to make use of the numbers!
Then this shenanigan of a game!!!
Anyway, this is not a good start to the day.

Dependency
have you ever wondered what would happen is the electronics of the world were affected that we would lose email, internet, electronic banking and anything that required electricity.
Would we have the skills to cope and get on with lives??
Think about it, we would literally be in the dark ages and would people have the skills to function.
I mean for some people, that would mean a very boring Friday night - no X-box, no playstation no chatting and no porn!
And no one would be able to read my infernal commentary on life!!
Well one good thing, I would not have to see Liverpool lose like it did on Saturday

Liverpool get Dudek'ed
Well I just woke up after watching the Liverpool and Man U match and am depressed after the game. I mean to lose again after Dudek screwed up in goals.....AGAIN!!!
That just sucks, and he needs to go.
Such is the working of the universe, the Liverpool keepers stuffs up and we lose, while Man U keeper screws up by letting the ball go into the goal and they still get away with a draw.
The constants of the soccer universe and dimension are going against me

The 5 week countdown
This time in 5 weeks I shall be sitting in the PJ Gurdwara and waiting for my beautiful wife to appear.
I am looking foward to losing bachelohodd and becoming a respectable married man. But I hope Metria does not go insane and then make me crazier than I already am.
But all jokes asisde, being married should be pretty good and hanging with Metria on a more permanent basis shall be fun and appealing.
I just hope that someone tells me when I stand up and sit down and all that during the ceremony!
