Soccer Ball World Series


Can't seem to see any of Scotland's matches
on any wallcharts, maybe they just go into
the second phase like the Europa Cup?
Had a heated debate in t'pub last night over
Engerlands chances. My stance is that they
have got 1 and two half world class players,
and the rest can be good, bad or just ugly.
Ask yourself honestly how many of the first
choice players would get into one of the top
sides? Spain, Holland, Argentina, Brazil, and
even Germany?
The best that they can hope for is a bit of team
spirit and some results to create momentum and
belief. They don't like it up 'em.

The future's bright, the future's

TANGERINE!

Quite an amazing contrast between the Play Off
final, and the Carling Cup or F.A Semi atmosphere.
It felt like it really meant something to these people.
If you can imagine a stag/hen party with about
37,000 people, none of whom would win a beauty
contest, then you would have some idea of The Pool
Army.It should also be remembered that the age
range was from about 6 months to 1104 months
(that's 92 years).
I'm unsure as to how long they will last in the
Premier Ship, but you can rest assured that they
will have a damn good time, and bruise some ego's.
For those of you out there who love Mottyisms, the
motto on the Blackpool crest simply says 'PROGRESS',
and I was there to witness progress on Saturday.

Tommy White's Tangerine Army...


I'm off to the Twin Towers and hallowed
turf on Saturday to see Blackpool v Cardiff,
which is The Play Off Final. I've always had
a soft spot for The Seasiders, mainly due
to Uncle Tommy being a player, director,
and caretaker manager at various times
in his life. It's a crazy, crazy place is Blackpool,
a real hint of twin peaks about it. It should also
be remembered that Holland changed their kit
to tangerine after watching old newsreel footage
of Stanley Matthews in the 1953 Cup Final.
So let's hear it for the Tangerine Army, because
someone has got to protect us from those Scum
Bags at Cardiff!
Lastly anyone who accuses the FA of being money
grabbing so and so's should be interested to learn
that my ticket is £66!!!

VOTE 'ARRY


I can hear it already "When I took over this country we
'ad an £175 billion deficit, nearly 18% of our GDP..."
I told you that it was never in doubt, for all my slating
of H this season he got it spot on last night. I seem
to remember offering to take Ledley to a glue factory
back at the end of last year. I was wrong. Very wrong.
Can't wait to see Alan Hansen on MOTD on Sunday, and
guess what...no matter what they do, those Whammers
can't stop us now.
Loved seeing Bentley, in his Superman pants, getting his
gang together to drench H in ice cold water. Could have
been another Jock Stein moment there, dodgy ticker
and all that...
Also didn't Levy look and sound like some over-
whelmed schoolboy. Fantastic stuff, we well and truly
stuffed them...One of the teams that stuck in my vision
in the qualifying games was Ajax...
This leaves Mr Wenger,not for the first time looking
nervously over his shoulder,
They couldn't could they? Happy days friends...
