had to copy this from the 5th official, watch the highlights if you haven't.

Taxi for Caldwell

We all have bad days at the office, but thankfully, most of us don't embarrass ourselves in front of an admittedly sparse crowd at the Reebok, or the millions watching around the world. Gary Caldwell did on Saturday, after he was responsible for ALL FOUR of Bolton's goals. It's enough to make you wonder if fellow Scot Owen Coyle slipped him a bag of unmarked notes before the game.

Caldwell's shocker was made all the more funny by the fact he was wearing cycling shorts, as if he was a finely tuned like an Olympic sprinter and not an average duffer. All it seemed to do was make his legs behave like a 15 minute old foal. He danced round the ball for Bolton's first, hacked Tamir Cohen down to give away a penalty, took longer to turn than the Titianic as Fabrice Muamba befuddled him for number three, then shanked a clearance straight to Matt Taylor for the fourth.

Perhaps Caldwell should have stopped in Scotland, where similar mistakes rarely go punished. It's easy to look like Bobby Moore when you're playing Hamilton Academicals and Falkirk every week.

its madness

i've been having as good a time as anyone following along with the bubble watch and bracketology, etc. but then i read this article and i realized how much of a sham the whole bubble thing is. in a way, it seems that lunardi is more of an authority than the committee itself. since all we're ever watching is espn, and they spoon feed us, who's in and who's out, we've got no reason to be surprised selection sunday.

its all about the big10, big 12, acc, same old same old. i'll never forget when uta state didn't get in a few years ago when they were like 29-3. oh well. go spiders.

oh and here's a laugher. end is the best

yayyuhyayyay hohohahahuh

trolololo!

Introducing...

16 year old Wayne Rooney!

happened to turn on the england egypt friendly right as they were walking the teams out. besides being shocked that walcott was in the 11, i couldn't help but noticing how all england players were singing along with the anthem as if they were clearly under big brother's watchful eye, and would be castrated in the media if they didn't.
All but 1 man that is...



bad ass

karma capello?

nice tevas

well michael ballack you were right on cue sir. just as soon as i put your big ugly mug up you go on ahead and lose your cool and try to injur poor little carlitos tevez who was by far the best player on the field at the bridge yesterday. that should have been a straight red in itself and he remains the forerunner for biggest bastard in the premeirship. still like villa for 4th though.

i didn't/don't want to see the tackle on aaron ramsey. its a wonder that more people don't brake their ankles in the premiership, but i guess its now a much safer place with joey barton and alan smith and newcastle's shenanigans out of the league. but i'd trade newcastle for bald man pulis' joke city any minute. stoke are just that, a joke. their basically not even playing football up there, but credit to them, the style of the prem is built for these big barging sides to just basically beat the shit out of each other and then bundle in a goal out of a rugby style throw in courtesy of some rory bloke who has less foot skills than dan ritter/greg o'brien.

but what the hell is fabio capello trying to pull here calling up shawcross? just a big fuck you to arsenal fans? is he trying to endure himself to the potter faithful? doesn't he need a left back? i don't get it.

goal of the day belongs to leo messi, those barca highlights are worth watching. check out the pass from xavi to dani alves to messi for the deciding goal. doesn't get any sweeter than that.

fingers crossed for usa hockey tonight, which could salvage what would otherwise be deemed the most succesful olympics ever by are ever-more annoying nother neighbors. where the hell are they coming up with these speed skaters and gold medals? i use to subscribe to the belief that most cummulative medals is worth more than golds. not so sir, at least not in the ROTW, out of the american media's grasp. And i can't tell you how much i've enjoyed watching the olympics on eurosport where not every 10/11 events you see doesn't have to contain an american.
