'arry for england

so, sven's going after the world cup then. probably the right thing - he was an idiot for saying what he said to the sheik. but it's the news of the world i'm pissed off with. we had a good chance of winning the world cup, but this is the sort of thing that can unsettle the squad. if we have a crap tournament it's totally their fault. i mean, what were they trying to prove? they'll calim they did us a favour by showing sven's heart wasn't in it, but they just want to pretend they're important & to have the reputation of being the paper that brought down sven. prats.

which brings us to the question of who'll be next for the job. i'd quite like pearce. the fans would love the passion, but he's probably a bit too inexperienced. i don't want big sam - bolton aren't known for their attractive football. steve mclaren's obviously got experience of the whole england set-up, but then he's managing a team that's fourth from bottom in the premiership. martin o'neill & guus hiddink are apparently the two favourite foreigners, and i'd be happy with either of them. o'neill's got a good mix of passion & tactical know-how, while hiddink's got to the last two world cup semi finals, & you can't really complain with a record like that.

i found this article on our new norwegian signing azar karadas. it was originally in portuguese which obviously i can't understand, however google helpfully translated it into english, which i'm sure you'll agree is much easier to understand:

"Karadas bad luck is the new tip of spear of the Benfica. The transference already was confirmed by the Rosenborg, through its official small farm , but it does not inform the duration of the bond, nor the values of the business, that, according to the Norwegian press, will be fixed in 1,5 million euros, or either, the mount of money that the Benfica was made use to offer for the player.

Karadas, that is known by the nickname of ' La Family ', will complete 23 years the 9 of August, already it will not be used in the departure of today to the end of the afternoon between Rosenborg and Sheriff Tiraspol, what it will allow to new the advanced one of ' fleshes-color ' to actuar for the Benfica in 3ªpré eliminatory of Liga of the Champions.

It is mentioned that this season is not to run in the best way to the player, who after an excellent exhibition front to the Benfica in Goblet the UEFA, it fell of production and it exactly arrived to lose the title. Its savings of 3 golos, in 15 games, seems short for a Nordic championship, but, in the truth, this old central defense, that the Rosenborg discovered in the Brann, in 2002, never marked more than 5 golos for time in the Norwegian champion, being that its personal maximum is fixed in the 7 golos, reached in 2002, still to the service of the Brann."

A letter from Malcolm Galzier

Dear Soccer fans,

As you all know, I've been looking to buy the United's of Manchester for a little while now. I've also heard that some of you may not be too happy about me using, sorry, buying the club in order to reach new heights and also, that I may not be a fan. Well fear not, as I'm writing this personal letter to let you know that I'm a genuine fan of you blue devils.

I began rooting for the United's back in 1992 when our little Malcolm JR was practising those Soccer home runs out in the yard. I loved the way you turned defence into offence, and the way that Bobby Shearer used to top half it into the goal bag. Oh man, that play was hot. My son tells me that you even out-zoned your City rivals Southampton in the 4th quarter of the FA World series.

As for your current team, that Rude guy is awesome!!!! I see a profitable future at the United, with the young talent of Cristiano Rooney (man, that guy can dance!) and Peter Shilton giving us hope in defeating the evil Russian tyranny which assaults the freedom of our beloved Soccer.

With the marketing potential of those Neville brothers and that Pearce dude leading the team, we can all look to achieving our beliefs of a better future. Especially when I add Alexei Lalas and Cobi Jones to the starting 15.

Now to you, the fans.

I've been to see the United's play once before, and the respect you pay your team in silently admiring the play out on the pitch was overwhelming. Because of this, I've just purchased a new £45 million mansion in the Manchester to be close to you guys. And more good news is I'm planning to add an extra 10,000 seats through corporate boxes so more genuine blue devils can experience the play.

What's with the prawn sandwiches I had to eat when I was there? Well, rest assured, it'll be super size prawn baguettes when I take charge. I can't wait to come over to the Manchester isles, as I love the country, especially the beaches and the hot chicks.

I hope you can all see my vision of this future, with new shirt sponsors (Dunkin Donuts) and new team name (The Manchester Gloom) I'm sure things are looking bright.

Further good news for you guys is that I've just agreed a partnership deal with McDonalds, who will help in promoting the Manchester brand. This will involve re-naming the stadium to 'McTrafford' as well as an exciting launch of Manchester Gloom plastic fan toys in every happy meal. Cristiano Rooney will be the face of this campaign and during this, he will be marketed globally as Roonald McDonald.

Take care dudes.

Regards

Malc

so, safety is now assured, & we can start planning for next season & wonder who we'll buy for next season. we've been linked already with mikael forsell & alxei smertin at chelsea. smertin we had on loan last season & was superb so i'd love to have him back. & if forsell can match his form for birmingham too, that'd be good. of course if we did get him, that'll mean yakubu going. good riddance i say. a lot of potential, but he just plain misses too many chances & wastes the ball too much. we could probably do with another midfielder & defender. i'd quite like carrick from spurs (especially if berger leaves), but not sure what defender - maybe someone like danny murphy, or even lee mills - a bit of a thug, but at least he's committed. no doubt we'll get a bunch of mediocre french players though...
