Monday, June 15th, 2009

The 2009 Confederations Cup is off and running and plenty of encouragement can be taken from this as we look forward to the World cup in South Africa next year.

Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg was the venue for the opening ceremony of Africa’s first major Fifa tournament and it was buzzing with excitement and vibrant colour as the tournament intro burst into life. Nearly 50,000 fans packed into the stadium to watch the ceremony and opening game.

The hosts;Bafana (South Africa) were unable to add to the opening day fun as they drew a blank in a goaless draw against Iraq in Group A. The other game from that group resulted in a 5-0 Demolition of New Zealand by European champions Spain. Fernando Torres hit a 17 minute hat-rick before Cesc Fabregas and David Villa completed the rout.

Proposed Takeover of Newcastle United

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Newcastle United Badge

Everyone’s heard about Mike Ashley asking for bids for the club via email so though why not join in!!! Heres ours….

To admin@nufc.co.uk

Dear Mike

I read in one of the national papers that you wanted serious offers for the club via email. I understand that I am probably abit late now but thought would drop you an email anyway.

I intend to make a bid to takeover Newcastle United Football Club in the next few months. I am heading up a consortium with a few friends of mine who wish to remain anonymous at this time.

The money is not in place at this moment in time however the “wheels are in motion” so to speak. I am to be made redundant from my job In August so I intend to pay off my overdraft then make a joint application for the 100 Million with my acquaintances. We have the paperwork already and intend to approach Northern Rock for most of the sum. I understand they may wish to stay out of this due to their sponsorship of the club and if so then we shall have to ask Natwest or someone else.

We only have the best intentions for the club and with us being fans of clubs that have Premier League status, I don’t foresee and conflict of interest or problems.

What we would request if you consider our offer is that you can keep Alan in charge of the team. If he is happy to do so then we would seriously consider him for the permanent role once the takeover is complete.  I understand that he may need some kind of incentive after all the troubles last season so I thought we could get a statue erected of him in the Town Centre if he complies.

The squad will have to be looked at and wages slashed. We will need a different breed of player in the Championship; lazy sods like Viduka will have to go. I think we might have to get rid of Michael Owen also, which would be a great shame. He would not be of benefit to us in that division, we need someone more in the Shefki Kuqi mould. I know you probbably wont want to hear this either but Joey Barton should stay, he is everyone’s favourite villain, look at Max in Eastenders, he’s not a very nice person but it would not be the same without him. Lets make Joey the club captain, everyone is abit naughty sometimes but he has plenty of fight still left in him and that’s what we need.

Another idea that ive had which could be a success on and off the field in terms of winning matches and PR is that we could approach the actor that starred in the film Goal and played the part of Santiago Munez. With the film being based around Newcastle United, if we were to prize him away from his acting, it could be a real success for us.  Santiago knows the club well from filming Goal, he is also a good looking lad so will sell shirts.  He looks ok at football aswell and with him not currently being a footballer we could probably get him on a free.

There’s a few things there for you to think about anyway Mike, I am sure you have allot of emails to get through. We will await conformation of your interest before we take the next step and I can assure you that this will be kept away from the press.

Look forward to your response

Eastenders v Coronation Street

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

Coronation StreetEastenders

This is not just the stuff of legend and fantasy, this game actually sometimes happens! I know because I was privileged to watch a match between Enders and Corrie at Edgely Park once. I only remember a few instances from the match. 1- Kevin Webster is so small! 2- Les Battersby was a knob and got himself sent off! And 3- Bepe DeMarco’s goaty is one of the greatest pieces of facial hair the world has ever seen!

But in all seriousness if these two great institutions of British TV were to hire a Power League pitch in neutral ground (somewhere near Walsall for instance), who would play for each team and more importantly who would win!

As well as this battle, probably more important is which team has the fittest cheer leaders. We will also be looking at this.

EASTENDERS

GK- Minty (Big, fat and well fills the goal well)

DEF- Jack Branning (Tall, hard and uncompromising)

MID- Phil Mitchell (Well TV’s tough man, although a beer or three at half time could spell disaster)

MID- Ricky Butcher (Bit of a wet blanket but a good strong left foot)

FOR- Max Branning (Despite being an ugly ginger, he always seems to score!)

SUB- Ian Beal (Mr Versatility himself, will lend a hand to all aspects the game)

SUB- Bradley Branning (More a tactical player, like Teddy Sheringham a good supersub)

MANAGER- Peggy Mitchell (Similar to Sir Alex, has a great Hairdryer when she gets going)

CHEER LEADERS- Dawn Swann, Chelsea Fox, Ronnie Mitchell, Roxie Mitchell and Stacey Slater

CORONATION STREET

GK- Kirk Sutherland (Lanky and agile, a good shot stopper)

DEF- Gary Windass (Tough a not afraid of anyone)

MID- Kevin Wesbster (Little midfield Dynamo)

MID- Jason Grimshaw (The heart and soul of the team and a genuwine prospect, great at building attacks)

FOR- Chesney Battersby (Young, fast and inventive, should run rings around the opposition)

SUB- Peter Barlow (Unlike Enders this alcoholic can take a back seat in the bar until called upon)

SUB- Ashly Peacock (Speaks like a girl but plays like Scholes)

MANAGER- Dev Alahan (Runs a few businesses and is friends with many of the team, a real players coach)

CHEER LEADERS- Tina McIntyre, Michelle Connor, Rosie Webster, Maria Connor and Kelly Crabtree

Off those line ups I have to say that I fancy the skill, flair and youth of Corrie to come good against the tough and ready to mix it up East London team!

Dawn EastendersTina McIntyre

As far as the eye candy goes I think Eastenders beat Corrie, even though Tina McIntyre is probably the best of all of them! The thought of having both the Mitchell sisters is too much to bear and they have to win, plus Dawn is a real show stopper!
