My Day As A Coach...... You heard it right!

Everyone who plays Football at the company was counting down until we got to play at QPR's famous Loftus Road myself included, against a team compiled of lucky competition winners, media folks and an ex-England international and QPR club ambassador Andy Sinton. Unfortunately two months before the match took place I dislocated the patella in my right knee playing Basketball trying to be Steph Curry, but in reality ended up being Steph Korma. 

This injury denied me being able to play in the match, which I won't lie mentally made me depressed at times as I did everything the Doc told me then got the bad news two weeks before we played. Anyway I opted to do the next best thing and not miss out on the occasion and become the coach for the team. I took that role seriously, I went to see the boys get an early morning practice match in two days before kick-off. It made sense as a few new players have joined the company to join those I played league Football with last year, so I had to get my selection right for the big day.
Shit I even made sure they had the classic staple diet before kick-off and half-time with a box of Jaffa Cakes. The trip to QPR's ground was hilarious, unlike the professional Footballers we travelled via London's trusty and much loved underground. This caused many people too look at us like they're all going somewhere to do something but who are these randoms?

When we got there the helpful QPR staff made us feel very welcome and like professionals for the hours we were present. Entering the changing room I ran out my instructions, again I confirmed the team that was sent out via email during the week and just asked them to go out there and enjoy the occasion (of course said I wanted a win).
I opted for the 4-3-3 formation as I thought this suited the team better, with the option to switch to a 4-4-2 without disrupting too much of the team's tempo. Made the decision confirming Roberto as our captain and gave him the armband, as my belief is it should be given to a goalkeeper, defender or holding midfielder. As I've played alongside Roberto I know he can be vocal and reads danger. It got surreal when walking down the tunnel and just thinking this is how these guys do it week in week out. So it was time to see all the preparation put in place come to play and see if we got it right. 
We started off slow but once everything settled the movement created space and chances came rolling in. My guy Gary got us the early goals with support from some smooth midfield play. Were pulled back by a very well deceived set piece but we remained in control of the game. As promised to the team I made sure everyone got game time, I ran a tight ship with the subs to make it happen and keep everyone happy and involved. Some were chirping in my ear more than others did, but happy with how I managed to rotate the team. Gave a braveheart type half-time team talk which lead to some more goals in the second half, which saw us win the match 6-4. Fair to say the most exciting attack match (or maybe due to poor defending) of the season took place at Loftus Road.
I'm now accepting any offers for teams that need someone to fill the hot seat at their club. There was whispers I'd be getting a call from Big Ed but I let my boy Jose get the job instead, as I wasn't ready for all that glitz and glamour. My strengths are team selection, team and one to one talks and preparation, oh and I give a pretty cool post match interview.

Sports: Open Letter To Manchester United Board


Dear Manchester United Heirachy,

I love my club like I love Pineapple juice while dreaming that Audrey Littie saying she loves my freckles (google her you're welcome). I know as a viewer of football for two plus decades that Football goes in cycles. And I can accept that and have done so in the past with my club, but I must say this current cycle my club finds itself in feels self inflicted. I don't know how to run a football club but I've been schooled by Championship Manager, Pro Evo and FIFA, however I do know mistakes when I see them and Stevie Wonder can see alot is wrong at the club. It's got to the point that me being one of the best at banter relating to Football, I've just been listening, watching and taking it on the chin with very little to respond back. I refuse to bring up as part of my response all the things we've done in the past because that's what many Liverpool fans are qualified at doing.
 But at the moment I can only say we could be Chelsea, however that won't last for too long.

Jamie Redknapp says "this is the worst Manchester United side I've seen". Yes we're not playing to our full potential Jamie but let's be honest you're chatting shit! Anyway I'm not going to cry over our recent injury list as this happens and Arsenal are dealing with the same thing. Why can't we play with the players that are still healthy and strong in positions that will allow them to exploit the opposition? Why can't the person who's in charge of the team see that playing Martial and Depay up front as a duo will allow the build up of attack so much quicker and more potent. 

Because Rooney is captain doesn't warrant being played every game when out of form, if anything help the guy and put him in the number ten role behind the two young bucks? What's the reason for Ander Herrera not getting game time, when he is one of the best technical players in the league? Why cant we play a 4-1-3-2 formation with Morgan Schneiderlin in the holding role with a strong 5 going forward?
Why did we look past this world beater to be captain of our club? Yes he is young but some of the best captains in the world were/are goalkeepers. The guy sees the whole game he speaks English at ease now and is a world class player. The problem with giving it to Wayne is now showing, because it will make un-wanted news if you drop him due to the way he's been playing. It's not helping him that he's a captain who's out of form and the team ain't playing to their full potential. 

Where is the faith to play the same line-up of players so they get to gel together and get an understanding until one player gets injured and someone fills that void? It's the simplest tactic in Football but making sure to get the balance right is essential, which maybe is the reason Chelsea are struggling this year because they didn't find the right balance to rest players when possible, but it allowed them to be a team that was flipping hard to break down and defeat. 
I understand LVG is abit (all the way up) stubborn and that must've contributed to being classed a world-class coach. I wasn't mad that you sold RVP because I've got a feeling he wasn't willing to fight to be in the team so that makes sense. You cleared out many players which the writings were on the wall for before LVG got to the club, but why in the blue hell did we sell Hernandez? What did he do that warranted him being sold just before the transfer window closed? This is a guy who only wanted to play Football and have the chance to show his talents which the team in the past have reaped the benefits from. 

The guy is a new age poacher and should've been on the team sheet when we sold RVP. What galaxy were you smoking with Han Solo to tell Hernandez he only had a "one percent chance" of playing in the team? You shipped him out on loan to Real without given chance, this season should've been the season management took a close look at what he brings to the team. Because right now those who agreed to sell him have not just egg but an omelette on their face. 12 goals in 17 games in the Bundesliga and being named player of the month. He's out performing many strikers not just in my team but in the league. And on the subject of strikers.......
In an era where you can count the amount of natural goalscorers on one hand, why after we gave him a new contract and rightly so have we sent Wilson on loan? I owe MUTV so I watch the reserve team play and this boy is a Manchester United player who can become the next superstar to come through our famous youth system. We're struggling for goals at the moment due to the way our play is. Why are we being denied a Wilson Martial and Depay forward line of energy skill pace and creativity? Wilson has scored two goals since being sent on loan to Brighton. 

Now don't get me wrong I believe if clubs in the premier league have highly talented youngsters who are unable to bring into a free flowing winning team, then the player should be sent to the Championship BUT only to the 8 teams that are going to be fighting for Premier League promotion. My reason behind this is simple it's a better learning experience for the the youngers, the manager will need to use his full squad to gain promotion. When they're sent to lower ambitious teams fighting to stay in the league if all goes wrong and the manager's making decisions to keep his/her job, they won't be putting faith into a player who's on loan. The terms of the Wilson loan is we can call him back at any time, so what are we waiting for?
We all love a fairy tale ending and myself and fellow United supporters would love for Giggsy to get the role. I'm not going to kid myself and think "well Barca done it with Pep, so if we do it then it will turn out the same". He may not win us something straight away but one thing for sure is he'd have the talent players we have at the club playing the type of Football they're capable of. On the other hand you guys would be foolish to over look Pep, a world class coach who if he really is as good as we are made to believe should take the challenge of Manchester United. Oh yeah that guy named Jose Mourinho is now available and it hurts me to say this, although I don't want him due to his baggage can't argue he does focus on getting trophies.

To wrap this up please let the players express themselves as we have too many ballers (that's right Jamie Redknapp) in the team to be playing how we are at the moment. Plus I know January is a few weeks ago which means transfer window time, let's not be throwing money left right and centre just because we have it. Let's not get over priced players just because we have the financial clout that some others envy. We have a few players on the books in the reserve team that can step up and become stars with the right amount of time and guidance. 

The decision makers of my beloved club, let's not stand for this type of play anyone more as shackling players is not what we've grown our reputation on. Now we're out of the Champions League tournament, we should be aiming for top 4 position and FA Cup trophy realistically moving forward to fix a season that has started bad performance wise. Shit I'll even take the Europa League trophy just to piss off Liverpool fans ha ha.

I'm out from a Bruce Willis (Die Hard) fan.

Sport: FourFourTwo's - 100 Best Footballer Players 2014

FourFourTwo have after intensive match viewing, intense researching and stats reading the top 100 players of 2014. It will come as no surprise that CR7 has topped the list for the second year running. Though it's fair to say the list of truly world class players has shrunk, Cristiano and his parallel brother on the pitch Messi are indeed world class without any argument. 
The video above only covers the top ten to make the list, but here's some interesting facts for those who are only glued to the Premier League (do your eyes and mind a favour and balance your viewing with other leagues and not just La Liga, you'll be surprised how many players you'll spot that you wish your team would sign). The team with the most players on the list? That title would go to Bayern Munich with 14, followed by Madrid with 11 and Barca with 10. The old lady Juventus add an impressive 9.

Current league leaders Chelsea have the most players from the BPL to make the top 100 list with 8. The goal beast Diego Costa makes it into the top ten, while time at Atletico and edging out Cech seems to have done young goalkeeper Courtois the world of good to be named in the top 20. And another player who made the top 20, is Cesc Fabregas. Below is a list complied of the 10 best players in the Premier League:
Next club to have contributed with the most players are Manchester United (DUH!) with 7, then it's them lot over there who get no name mention with 6. Followed by Arsenal with 4inductees and the Spurs with a strong 1 goalkeeper Hugo Lloris........
Is the only British player to make it into the top 50 of the list. He skipped (see what I done there) in at number 49. Which puts alot of things in prospective  in regards to the amount of homegrown players in the league and how many of those are considered to be top class outside of the BPL bubble.  And all is not lost for those who constantly remind us about winning 5 Champions League trophy (you have to respect the amount of CL trophies won, but the constant reminders corr blimey), both Sterling and Sturridge make it for the first time on the list. And are actually placed higher than Balotelli who's back must be hurting him, from holding up the whole list coming in at 99.

Sports: Some Type Of Way

Players come and go, that's just the mechanics of Football. Been like that since the birth and so it shall continue. Once upon a time players who got that dream move to their boyhood club would retire there.

Likes of Maldini, Giggs, Scholes, Gerrard, as much as I have an opinion on this guy even John Terry can be added to that list. Doubt we'll see those type of one player club players again.

So with the transfer window now firmly shut for four months, it's fair to say it's been the busiest window so far with over £800,000 million spent. Exciting times ahead for many clubs that have added additions to their squad to improve the team. But it's one transfer in particular that has me feeling, well "some type of way".
It's not since Becks and Cristiano that if felt this type of way. But since it was finally confirmed Monday evening that Danny Welbeck was officially an Arsenal player those feelings kicked in.

See in football there is no better sight for a club's supporters then to see a local kid come through the ranks and into the first team. It's kind of like watching a flower grow or your children succeeding in life. Welbeck ticks all those boxes in this era of football.
Is Welbeck a world beater? No ain't many strikers that are besides the obvious names. Does he have the potential to become a better player then he is now? Yes due to fact will play in favourite position and consistently get games. Are Manchester United weaker without him? No but we're not stronger without him either. 
Am I mad at him for moving to Arsenal of all clubs? Not at all, because I can see the attraction. Footballing wise he will play in his preferred position, and his friends with many of the British young bucks in the ranks. Plus Arsenal's style of play suits him. So the transition will be easy for him on that front. But the most important thing is, he's in the good has of professor Arsene Wenger. Mourinho doesn't have the ability to nuture Welbz, as Chelsea's youth system do this day only boasts John Terry as a success. 


I must say that this transfer has made it very clear the 
difference between supporters and fans of my club Manchester United. While the fans are just super gassed over the signings we have made, without even a second thought of Welbeck's transfer move. Supporters have not begrudged him for the move, cause he deserve much more game time but are disappointed to see that he has left. 
I hope the convo between LVG and Welbeck was along the lines of " I will try and play you as much as possible, but if you desire to get more game time somewhere else I won't deny you that stage of your career". As imposing as the media make LVG to appear, like Fergie don't think he would let a player of determination and quality just waste away on the bench and halt their career. Other clubs happy to do that but that's not how we roll. 

Read some writer's articles that United have no identity after letting Welbeck go. Erm...... ok let's look at the facts shall we on homegrown players in top teams. Them lot from across the road have one starting British player in Joe Hart, Milner comes off the bench most of the time so that's two. Any others they got? Rodwell bought and sold, Sinclair is only seen the same time as a Unicorn and that's it. 

Arsenal have Rambo, smoking Jack, Gibbs, Ox, Theo, Chambers who start or come off the bench. Liverpool have Johnson, Gerrard, Lallana, Lambert, Henderson, Sterling, Sturridge and Flanagan. Spurs Lennon, Walker, Kane, Townsend and Davies. Chelsea Terry, Terry, Cahill and Terry. Manchester United have Rooney, Jones, Shaw, Smalling, Evans, Young, Fletcher, Carrick, Lingard, Blackett, Zaha and Wilson who are all registered on this season's squad list. With the likes of the Keane twins (not related to Roy)So I don't understand why comment about identity is lost. 

But it's whatever, I wish Danny all the best in his future ahead. In the meantime Radamel Falcao isn't a half bad replacement and this may also benefit the young sharp shooter in James Wilson.
All the best Welbz and show them what you're made of!!

Sports: Brazil Defeat No Surprise

The morning after the night before, normally has you waking up with a smile on your face and going through your mobile phone looking at pictures or videos from partying. Or you may roll over and see you brought the party back to your bed........ CHEEKY!! The beautiful people of Brazil are waking up today realising the biggest party in the world has come to an end, a very taking over the social media where were you when this took place end.
We witnessed the true KO to the beautiful game, forget Spain getting treated like a bad child by The Netherlands. Because when the World Cup comes around the country that's won it the most, is always everyones second team to support.
Let's be honest, this Brazilian squad was always going to punch above its weight at this World Cup. However they had the power of the old cliche 12th man, which in this case was 200 million people. If anyone was going to get this squad far, it was only going to be Big Phil. The telling signs were there from the first game but when you have an individual like Neymar in your team things will happen. But Phil how do you explain this?
Now above is the starting eleven of players who weren't "good" enough to make the final 23 man squad to represent Brazil. How do you explain that none of these players weren't deemed good enough to make the bench for Brazil? Let's pick Coutinho and Lucas helped their team right to the final whistle of the season to almost win the Premier League title with Liverpool (but they didn't HA HA). Lucas Mora plays UEFA Champions League football with PSG, Kaka likewise of AC Milan. Pato is now based in Brazil and makes a waaaaaaay better option than Fred or Hulk, why is  player who has played champions league football in Rafael over looked for Maicon? Then we come to my guy Ronaldinho, yes he isn't in the major lights he used to perform on a daily basis. But he still has the ability which you don't teach a player, they either have or they don't. Oh and he just so happens to play in the same league and team as Bernard.
What Brazil missed last night was a leader with a cool head, David Luiz is under control when he is next to the cool operator of Thiago Silva. Last night was David's chance to stand up and be counted but many of his team mates let him down on the grandest stage of them all. This Germany team requires the opposition to have their best players present when taking the pitch. Brazil had none of those on show, and David Luiz had to look to these players.......
Hulk and Fred have one goal between them for the whole competition, and Big Phil's loyalty excused that horrible fact. He dropped Dani Alves but Hulk and Fred stayed in the team, like the five stars that grace the famous yellow jersey. The guy who replaces Alves goes by the name of Maicon and it's fair to say since that night where Gareth Bale treated the then Inter Milan right back (who at the time was regarded the best in the world) like Bambi on ice. He never ever recovered from that night and everyone saw his demise while at the other side of Manchester. With Neymar not able to continue in the World Cup, who I feel sorry for the most after last night's result he took them as far as possible. 

This Brazil side was slowly bringing themselves to this type of wake up call. Van Gaal took his captain RVP off to enhance chance of beating Mexico, why has Fred played every game and got only one goal to show for it? If he scored only one goal but lead the tournament in assists, nobody would argue his worth to the team. And to back up Fred and Hulk is Jo......... What Brazil would give to have at least Rickie Lambert in their team? Scores goals and helps bring his teammates into play, they would have had a better chance against Germany. The nation of Brazil and the singing of the national anthem have been priceless during this World Cup. They deserved much better last night, losing 2-1 to this Germany side is no embarrassment. 7-1 is the type of scoreline where I wanted the game to be over after the fourth goal, because Germany saw the look of weakness in the team and they just ripped them to shreds. Moving forward this team has to start again, needs to be built around the likes of Neymar, Thiago, Luiz, Coutinho, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Rafael, Marcelo and other players that are talented enough to wear the famous jersey. This has to be the last time we see the likes of Jo, Fred, Hulk, Maicon being selected. Brazil need to look over their shoulder, the likes of Colombia and Chile shown this competition they are playing that style Brazil seem desperate to find again. But before all that they need to worry about who they face in the battle for third place. I doubt they want to play Argentina after last night's performance. Real sad to see Brazil fail and even worst to see them embarrassed on home soil. Hope this wake up call will benefit them in the future!

Sports: Will The Real Wayne Rooney Please Stand Up?

Have you ever tried riding a bicycle in mud? No, me neither. So why is Wayne Rooney being played out of position on the grandest stage of them all, expected to get the best out of him? Let's be clear for those who may or may not know I'm a Manchester untied supporter but I'm not bias (I had a horrible nightmare from August 2013 to May 2014). I'm a Rooney supporter, who is always ready to listen to both sides of the argument. Yes he yet to set a tournament on fire. And if you didn't already know this, it's been well documented over the past few days since England's unlucky defeat to Italy (yes we should have managed a draw but whatever). 

Wayne Rooney didn't have his best game, funnily enough he created that moment with the cute cross to allow England to equalise. Just incase you forgot what Rooney scoring in an England shirt looks like;
The disturbing thing about the game against Italy is, Rooney ran 11.2km more than any other England player. No striker should be covering that amount of ground. He should be covering less then that in the opposition's box. He's a centre forward who also knows how to assist goals, tada he's also perfect for the number 10 role.
39 goals in 93 appearances, 5th on the all time England goal scoring list. So rightly so, Rooney is under huge pressure to rise to the occasion at every tournament - but it hasn't happened yet.... This England team is one of the most exciting in a long time, in centre of for the first time in decades, our defence seems to be our weakest area. (If only we had a WC 2010 Rio & the guy from Chelsea at the centre of defence) So Woy what you going to do to get the best out of your player, in a tournament but more importantly a match that really matters?
Sturridge has earned to spearhead the attack, but thats fine because Wayne is ultra effective in the 4-2-3-1 in the number 10 role. My selection for tonight's must not lose game is as follows - Hart, Johnson x Cahill x Jagielka x Baines x Gerrard (c) x Wilshere x Sterling x Rooney x Lallana x Sturridge. I'd save Welbeck and Barkley for the last 25mins when the game should be stretched and slowing down, to add that pace and potent drive to the Uruguay defence. 

Just to recap Spain are out, breaking a new record being the defending champions to be eliminated in the group stages losing back to back games. Does anyone know if the Argentine media was on Messi's case, prior to him scoring his first goal in 8 years just the other day? I mean bigger issues with other teams have been going on in the World Cup, without the media getting on Wayne's back. But that's the British media through and through right? Why play a guy who scored goals to get the team to Brazil? How dare Woy do such a damn thing.
If my guy wants to be considered world class, he has to turn it on from tonight. I believe he'll have his best game in an England shirt. Please play the number 10 role tonight, an while you're at it Wayne please let the others do some work. You just chill in the opposition's half abit and wait for that ball to come to you. I mean whats the worst that can happen, you create another goal like the other night? If you're feeling really rebellious go and score two goals..... (Got England for a 3-1 win) #RiskEverything!

Sports: So What Now?!!


Ok so right from the gate, my team hasn't done what we're capable of this season. And it started so well at the start of the season, by winning the community shield. It felt like business as usual just with a strange unfamiliar figure in the dugout yelling instructions to the team. 

Now taking it back further than that, I remember being in Derby for work purposes and waking up to the news (I don't watch all types of news, but watch Sky Sports News like a Cat watches a Bird) Sir Alex Ferguson is to retire at the end of this season.
You just drop it like it's hot like that Sir Alex?!! So my morning was a huge mess (Even the bagels didn't taste nice), then I see David Moyes (at the time) looking like a G skipping from Old Trafford offices where a meeting was held past a few reporters into a Taxi. Pow David William Moyes is the official manager of Manchester United.

Fast forward to April 2014 and the following has taken place;
* Liverpool FC beat us twice in one season.
* Everton beat us twice in one season.
* We are a joke at home.
* Our captain Nemanja Vidic, is destined for Inter Milan.
* Not playing our best formation to get the trinity of Rooney, Mata and RVP.
* We've used over 45 different starting 11s.

Now if I was Moyes after seeing the above stats this is something I'd look at, I would have stuck with a consistent eleven until end of the season (WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED?). You want to play Rooney, RVP and Mata together, who wouldn't want to? So how about this formation, the classic 4-1-2-1-2 or Diamond formation. The team sheet would read, De Gea x Rafael x Smalling x Jones x Evra x Carrick/Felliani x Kagawa (BALLER) x Valencia x Mata x RVP x Rooney. 
If you want to have 4-4-2 as a plan B, that's fine you can play Zaha x Januzaj on the wings. When are these guys going to get their fair run in the team? Zaha x Januzaj x Lingard x Powell x Petrucci all should be the nucleus of say the Carling Cup team to get experience.
                            
All  these guys are young talented midfielders who should be making the United bench and playing time. Instead you want to bring on Giggs using the excuse "His experience" erm..... can't isn't he already doing that as he's a member of your coaching staff? Let him and Scholes educate these kids, because we have to many talented young guns that I see on MUTV reserve games etc.... but not getting the chance to showcase to the world.

Moyes are you really going to deny the fact you have a Fantastic Four at your disposal, that if you give time and the run of games can cause any defence havoc? RVP's absence has freed up space for Rooney to play the lone striker, with Mata and Kagawa moving around at free. 
I'm as honest as it comes when it's about my club that I love. Do we have the best squad in the league? NO! Do we have a world beating midfield? NO! However we have a team that should be in the top four if playing to the individuals strength.

This season is now DONE. So summer time Moyes please do the following. These four will be better off playing for a team they can contribute to week in, week out which isn't United.
Don't get me wrong Nani has all the attributes to be starting every game, but how many times as United fans have we said "give him time"? Young if he really really put his mind to it, would be a very good player but seems (could be wrong) he's happy at the level he's at. Not going to say anything on the other two.

The players I would bring in would be these talented five:
Adam Lallana: CM/Wing, Toni Kroos DM/CM, Patrick Van Aanholt (LB out of contract this summer, never given a chance at Chelsea and sure the young dutchman wants to prove his worth), Calum Chambers RB, Ezequiel Garay CB.

What has annoyed me the most this season is and I'm sure it happened at Goodison Park yesterday. Didn't watch the game cause I just had that feeling, and I ain't letting Football mess up my Easter vibe. Moyes just doesn't address the situation straight away, he'll seat it his seat if one or two goals down. He takes like forever to make a flipping substitute if things ain't going our way. Why is that?

I mean for the love of God, Everton replaced their former manager with a manager who's team just got relegated. But is fighting for a Champions League spot and we're looking at them like WOW, these guys are playing the type of Football Manchester United should be playing with their eyes closed.
It's like as soon as this guy stepped down, every Football club has found some Avengers type strength and unity against us. I go to Old Tafford as much as possible with my road dawg Bald MC, and we've left there just feeling some type of way......

So............ what next? Well I'm all for giving people second chances, for an example. If Moyes had won FA Cup x Carling Cup, knocked out Champs League courtesy of Bayern Munich and finished 5th via 2-3 points or goal difference. Then I'd be like he will get it right next season, with the right additions in the summer. Oh lets talk about summer, who was the genius to think "Hey let's try a get Cesc I mean he left Arsenal to return back to his boyhood club,we'll get him easily"...... Would have sacked that genius first. 

Here's how you do business in the transfer window (not that I'm qualified in that field). You takeover at a new club in time for the summer transfer window. You blow some smoke and say your trying to sign Cesc Fabregas (which you fully well know won't happen), but behind the scenes you're actually working on realistically targets which don't get announced until 100% confirmed.
(When I saw this banner, I wanted to hose the whole stadium with holy water!!!)

Anyway back to Moyes, hey buddy I don't know anymore. During the season have said NO when asked if you should be sacked etc...... We haven't been in this position before as we've been spoilt with the same manager for 27years.

Now I don't know buddy, all this Van Gaal and Klopp talk doesn't help my head either.

Sports: Guy Poyet sacked while working


This is so disrespectful, no one yet knows outside of Brighton FC knowns what has been going on for the pas couple of months. Take the football legacy of Poyet away and he is still a human being. 

This shouldn't have happened like this. It's embracing. Did the BBC have to make this public during coverage of a tournament that has nothing to do with Championship football league?

Sport: New Manchester United kit 2013/2014


It's crazy how something can comeback around full circle when you least expect it. Suppose it's fitting winning title number 20, Sir Alex Ferguson saying goodbye and this year marking 20years since the famous collar up Cantona era. The new Manchester United kit takes us back while heading into the future, although I 'm still a huge fan of the clean white away get we had for the 2012/2013 season. I shall be copping this kit to wear to one of you guys wedding (with an invite of course) as it's just so bossy.

Football: Transfers & News - 5/6/13


As much as we all hate the end of the Premier League especially when there is no summer tournament, it opens up the door for the summer transfer season. I believe this transfer window is going to be the biggest with seen for two reasons, 1. The new financial fair play set up by UEFA means alot of clubs will have to spend with one eye on the FFP. 2. With many new managers taking over clubs across the Premier League and others, many will want to make the right statement and try to take advantage of the fact no club has one the Champions League back to back.

So far this is the confirmed transfers (sorry been in Sweden celebrating my birthday):


Neymar from Santos to FC Barcelona:

57million euros (£49million) for Mr. Neymar da Silva Santos Junior, Neymar is a talent there is no denying that. But I'm on the fence if Barca think he will have the same blistering impact as my favourite player and fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho had when he signed.

Watched Neymar many times on youtube (yeah you to I know), but even the last game with Brazil v England again failed to make anytime of impact. But time will tell if the new one from Brazil is the one.



Radamel Falcao from Atletico Madrid to AS Monaco:

I refuse to agree with everyone who says Falcao went to Monaco for the money that is on the table. He had a list as long as Crouch's arm of clubs who all wanted him, you can argue many didn't have the clout to sign him but he is one of if not the hottest striker in the world. I believe the Monaco sun, the Monaco F1 Grand Prix and the team Monaco are trying to build to rival PSG is going to make Ligue 1 very interesting to watch this 2013-2014 season.



Ricardo Carvalho from Real Madrid to AS Monaco: 
Porto to Chelsea to Real Madrid to AS Monaco, fair to say Carvalho has had a great football career. With many titles to he's name, the experience he has will be invaluable to Monaco.


Joao Moutinho from FC Porto to AS Monaco:
As part of a 60million euro deal which saw him and team mate James Rodriguez head over to Monaco.

In 2013 I wish......

So the 2013 era is here. World still spinning, sun still shining, Ri Ri still getting caught naked and we still waiting for Dizzee and Wiley to collaborate. So here is my wish list of what I want to see in 2013 (Politicians can sort out the world themselves)

ROC-A-FELLA - THE OFFICIAL REUNION:

The Roc army was my vibe. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Memphis Bleek, Freeway, Peedi Crakk, Young Gunz. And of course the broad street bully aka Beans was a damn wild animal on the mic, don't believe me check out this early freestyle on the classic N.O.R.E "Banned From TV"

                       


So I want a FULL reunion to bring that 2000 era back. Rap needs their skills, Hip Hop needs that vibe back. Add The Diplomats, Dame and Biggs to that and let's get this ish crackin.

BOY BETTER KNOW - BOY BETTER KNOW ALBUM:

                      

So when grime representers JME, Skepta, Shorty, Wiley, Frisco, Jammer, Solo 45 and DJ Maximum combine. They become the grime collective Boy Better Know. 2009 they  gave us the classic Too Many Man and also Going In and were promised a Boy Better Know album. It's now 2013 and given all these guys have their own solo fan base it's time we get the Boy Better Know album. Let's go guys

UK RAP : NEED MORE ALBUMS




UK rap is in the healthiest place it's ever been right now. But we still need albums to be dropping from the likes of S.A.S., Giggs etc.. to continue getting the scene more love. So hopefully 2013 brings albums from all these guys.


WATCH THE THRONE - PART DEUX: 


We WANT another album - that is all!!

50 CENT - 2013 HEAT:


Fif has been releasing mix tapes frequently and dropping random singles too. Time has come for Fif to drop a hot album. Life has changed for Fif since Get Rich Or Die Tryin' but that don't mean he hasn't got another hot album in the tank. New Day was actual a hot single, My Life w/ Eminem and Adam Levine and Major Distribution w/ Snoop Dogg and Jeezy are cool. So hopefully Immortal King is one of the albums we remember 2013 for.

T-PAIN - THE RETURN:


RI RI -  STAY CLASSY BABY:


I'm a huge fan of Robin Thicke, and I once got to meet him courtesy of my homie Westwood. Now Robin Thicke is a smooth mutherfucker! He ain't got swag cause he's a debonair. So during the Robin interview he dropped one of the realist lines I've heard. "I like a woman who treats her body like a gift, when  she dresses she shows just enough to a man. But keeps the element if surprise alive but not showing everything in what she wears." At the time I thought that's so slick shit, but no I understand. On to my girl Ri-Ri, she sexy bossy chick. But come on cupcake, pictures of you naked come out like every week. Seeing you naked is like seeing traffic lights, see them all he time. So keep dropping hot records and staying classy.



NIKE BLAZERS - STOP IT FIRE:


Leave them in 2012 please

FACEBOOK - STATUS UPDATES:


"I'm going to the shop to get some drinks", "Just chilling watching TV", "After all the times I cooked him homemade dinners he cheats on me" "I love my kids" (Is it meant to be any other way??!) "Going Nandos with the man dem" 
Aye please stop with the facebook statuses that NO ONE CARES ABOUT.


TWITTER - BEEFS/DELETING TWEETS:



Changes need to happen on Twitter. Beefing on Twitter is like arguing with someone via sign language makes no sense. When artists especially beef over Twitter, you know their either bored or using the argument to help promote something they got. Plus posting a tweet then deleting it when the heat is on just makes you look like you don't believe in what you feel + makes you look like a p****. 

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN - ONE MORE ASS WHOPPIN:


CM Punk don't want it with the baddest son of a bitch in the history of WWF (I'm old school)!!


CRISTIANO RONALDO - COME HOME:


Old Trafford awaits your return for good.......

NBA - 2013 CHAMPIONSHIP WINNERS IS.........




FIFTY SHADES OF LEAVE IT:


I don't mean reading book, but too many fine women are reading this excuse of a book. Ladies lets get one thing straight, in the real world there is a man that can give you REAL love and REAL D!! Stop reading and fascinating about some make believe guy. Your better off fighting Barbie for Ken, at least you can hold the guy in your hand and dress him how you want.



PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE????????!!!!!
