Because if you went to Ghana they would kill your stupid ass for knowing as much about football as Al Gore knows about climate change. See the comparison Hirshey you
"let alone a goal at Stamford Bridge where Liverpool has gone scoreless in its last eight visits."
Stop getting your stats from Fox and Fox football phone in they are as dumb as you are go recheck the stats lazy bastard
"Let's face it, Liverpool's attacking tandem of Crouch and Kuyt is not going to make defenders crap their shorts no matter how many high balls the Reds hoof into the box aimed at the head of the 6'8" beanpole striker"
Seem to work well when he got a hat trick against Arsenal. Did you crap in your shorts then? Because every time you say or write something a lot of shit comes out.

]]> <![CDATA[Remembering ManU, Then And Now]]> @chilltown: Well-deserved. Grr. Do you think my friends would notice if I fed them shots at 7AM this weekend and then show them the 96 FA Cup instead of the actual match? It's their first exposure to ManU football, and I'm concerned.

]]> <![CDATA[Remembering ManU, Then And Now]]> @Permanent4: Yes. Scoring a boatload of goals for Heereenveen or FC Twente or Willem II or NAC Breda or De Graafschaap does not an EPL star make.

@kayceebk: Babel has a ways to go, but thank God we signed him long enough to find out what he's really made of. He's like SWP, but younger and less short. Also, no Crouchaldinho for you... you have Agbonlahor and Young, and you're making me sick with jealousy.

@preciousroy: Bastard.

]]> <![CDATA[Remembering ManU, Then And Now]]> @LingeringBursitis: Also, can Ryan Babel run two steps without tripping or losing the ball?

Not that I'm mad about that; If the Blues could have actually scored (Thanks, Ballack!), then my Villans would have been proudly sitting in fifth with Reading coming up. Now, we're sixth on differential.

I think some of these "soccer only" stadiums sometimes get rented out for high school football tourneys and whatnot. I mean, how else are you gonna come up with Ivan Becerra's $11,700 annual salary?

Personally, I try not to think of Real Salt Lake at all, but there they are, popping into my brain again. And that's why Hirshey is the Closer, not I.
