An A-Z factual base of stuff you may not think of....
A - Arsenal always top the Premier League Table, but, only before the season kicks off, courtesy - The Alphabetic Order.
B - Blackburn Rovers, were bought by Indian Chicken feed - Venky's, in early 2011. They recovered half their money in selling off Phil Jones to Manchester United for 16 million quid after they acquired the football club for an impressive 30 million pounds by Indian standards. A few years earlier, United bought Berbatov for 32 million, but no one's keeping score.
C - Carlos Tevez is perhaps the flakiest footballing personality I have ever seen. One year he wants to stay at United, the next he leaves United for City. One year he wants to stay, the next, he wants to leave and never return to the most 'boring place' in England even on holiday. The next day he wants to stay at City.
Or does he?
D - Dimitar Berbatov should get a 5 year contract extension at the very least after Michael Owen got a one year extension, both starting and scoring 0.8 / 10th of what Berba gave us last year.
E - England should always set their target towards reaching the quarter-finals of a competition. Then everyone's expectations would be met and anything further achieved, is certainly a bonus. The same applies to the U-21 England side.
F - Football Association's ( the F.A. of England ) board members will probably be outlived by Ferguson as he continues to win trophies. No amount of bans will ever stop Sir Alex from doing what he does best ( which is winning trophies ). It just embarrasses the board if you ask me. F@rting A$$h0le$.
G - Gary Neville wont be missed. I'm sorry, but its safe to say that Football quit Neville.
H - Howard Hughes was a Canaries ( Norwich City ) fan.
I - I support Manchester United. Was there ever really any doubt?
J - Ji Sung Park drank frog juice to build up his body and run non stop for a wholesome ninety minutes. He should endorse Nike's 'Toadle 90' adverts.
K - Kleberson. Has anyone seen Kleberson?!?
L - Lionel Messi has scored fewer times for Argentina (16 goals in 55 games) when compared to Javier Hernandez for Mexico (20 goals in 27 games) in senior football.
M - Michael Owen also keeps the no. 7 jersey?!?? Why?!??
N - Norwich City have been promoted to the Premier League this year. Howard Hughes has bought a season ticket for this year's top flight promotion-campaign.
O - Orange County isn't the name of a football club but a serial on t.v., that showcases the life of rich teenagers somewhere in the Beverly Hills.
P - Penny, Wise! Pound, Foolish! That's what I think of the ridiculous amounts being spent on players today. Are you listening Abramovic?
Q - Queens Park Rangers have an Indian stake-holder on its board alongside Bernie Ecclestone, and his name is Laxmi Mittal. Indians are definitely making their mark on the English circuit.
R - Ryan Giggs should credit his footballing longevity to more than just doing yoga.
S - Sepp Blatter was the only candidate in the running for Fifa's Presidential post this year, making him today's modern version of a Footballing Mussolini or Hitler; but the kind of uncle you could hug for hours with a face as sweet as his. Wait, did I just say that? Oh well...
T - Tottenham made a killing on the resale of three players for a mid-table team in the space of two years. Berbatov, Carrick and Keane secured them 45 million pounds in transfer profit alone.
U - Is for Uruguay. I would've said United States but the South American team are far better than their neighbours.
V - Venance Roche is an Arsenal supporter. Or is he still one?
W - Wigan Athletic have sustained Premiership status for 6 seasons now, but without a trophy to show for it. So have Arsenal. That is parity for you.
X - Xavi Hernandez would've signed for Manchester United hadn't it been for his determination to succeed (successfully) at Barcelona. There goes our Champions League winners medals in '09 and '11.
Y - Yes, Venance Roche is still an Arsenal supporter. Love the commitment.
Z - Zinedine Zidane's son is training at Real Madrid. Who would've thunk Madrid knew how to save money and invest in talent?!
P.S. Nobody loves Ryan Giggs more than me... * When he's on the pitch.

ReplyDeleteGiving credit to Redknapp and what a transformation he brought about to Spurs since his arrival, let me point out that when Tottenham sold carrick they finished 5th that year. Two seasons on, when they let go of Keane and Berbatov, they finished 8th. Yes, technically you're right, I should be saying 'top half of the table' but taking into account these three transfers in their respective years, I may not be entirely wrong in saying that they were a mid table team.
ReplyDeleteAs for United's transfers, I think we played this one in a timely manner, spending quite well even if we spent around $80million. As a result, United got two players who weren' t going to sign new contracts and we got them at the best possible price in an inflated market. I was talking about Young and De Gea. Jones was perhaps the one we didn't get at a steal but we got a good talent nonetheless. One midfielder is all that's needed and I think we're putting the money of ronaldo's sale to good use. I like many fans thought that his money was going towards repaying the debt and part of it probably was, but from what I've seen, this is a pleasant surprise for all united fans. Well done to David Gill. We got the players we needed when the veterans were calling it a day
