THE GLUTTONY GAME

New Premier League Logo?
Glutton Bowl

So if Manchester City win the League they will play Chelsea in The Community Shield 2012. This will be the exact moment that the big money Chickens ploughing untold Millions into English football will have come home ready to settle down.

If you can countenance Chelsea also winning The Champions League it will amplify the strategy of buying success. Abramovich’s plan will have worked; and it only took nine years.

The Traditional big English clubs are Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton and Sp*rs. That’s kind of accepted and backed up statistically. These clubs, including our own, have no divine right to anything; that’s not the point.

What is the point? Money talks. That’s the point. All the clubs who did not heed the warning can’t exactly find easy answers either. This English football thing of ours began to chase the Euro with enthusiasm with the SKY deal and ever since money has been god. Kick off times, players wages, ticket prices, Agents fees, kit changes, merchandising, WAGs the whole rotten apple was plucked from the tree by Murdoch and feasted upon with gusto by Oligarchs and ordinary men turned into gluttons.
So when we see two clubs emboldened and hoisted aloft by money, money, money let's just stop and think about what the beautiful game actually means. If the two new money mammoths clash at Wembley in August it perhaps, should be renamed The Glutton Bowl and we should all shed a tear for something that has been lost; and possibly never replaced.
Gordon Gecko never actually said "Greed is good", what he said was "Greed works". The misquote is wrong, the real quote, sadly, is right.

    True, true... Sadly true.

    The tendency now is to wish for one's own super rich owner. We have one and he's meaner than a junkyard dog.

    Do we as fans, try to force the board to deploy him. Or, stick to the present game plan?

    We whinge about these clubs buying titles yet many of us would take a seat at their table in a heartbeat.

    You can't have it both ways... Arsenal have ridden out a few storms. They do the same with this one. It may
    not be within the next couple of years but we'll get the cabinet re-stocked and when we do I wonder what the 
    state of play'll be at Man City & Chelsea?

    The oil may not run out but the men who own it certainly will.

HATE

Then Now Earlier today Captain Kirk sent me the following video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG1f-v88-kU&sns=em To say it is both disturbing and upsetting is an understatement. We see the beautiful game as something of a mirror to society and try to look on the community of supporters as a positive force. A set of human beings with some values borne out of an understanding of what this great sport of ours can give us. However, it takes a certain amount of myopia from the Football Authorities to proclaim that all is well. The issues that were amplified over the weekend at Old Trafford cannot be trivialised when we see the full extent of hatred; in any form. The violence is shocking as we see people attacked on a basis that is a result of flawed thinking, and the powers that be proclaim all is well; all is not well. So when I look at those images, I have to ask myself this… http://youtu.be/6RVDQgVxprE

"IF WE BEHAVE LIKE THEM, THEN WHAT IS THE POINT IN WINNING? "- John Connor

"The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that."-John Connor To overcome Skynet was not easy, it involved time, belief and an indomitable human spirit. To beat a machine equipped with superior weaponry and a ruthless access to resources to increase its arsenal took ingenuity and a "never say die" attitude. Abu Dhabi is the ground zero of Skynet and Manchester CXV are the Terminators. The thing about Skynet is that there are no qualms about what their aim is, there are no notions of fairness.  "Listen, and understand! Manchester CX are out there! They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop... ever, until someone stops them flagrantly breaking rules"-Kyle Reese In a landscape where one team dominates it is up to a resistance to topple them, this is made hard when using resources that were ga...

LEAGUE OF ORDINARY GENTLEMEN

Sunderland V Sp*rs ended goalless meaning that Sp*rs currently sit third. It was a game that had 0-0 written all over it after about 30 minutes. The baton now passes to us in today’s fixture against Man City. A win gives us a two point advantage and a draw puts us back in third. One side that we need to be mindful of in the shake up for 3 rd & 4 th is Newcastle who have hung on all season and present a threat to ECL qualification. What the SAFC v THFC game showed is the poverty of this current Premier League; it was awful. A cursory comparison between teams in the Premier era makes grim reading for the current state of the game. The Man Utd of 99 would definitely beat the current side, The Newcastle of Keegan, The Chelsea of Mourinho, the Villa of Atkinson, the Blackburn of Dalgleish, The Liverpool of Fowler, McManaman, Owen etc would batter the Liverpool of 2012. Certainly the Invincibles would put the current Arsenal team to the sword. Even teams like Midd...
