Croatian manager ‘is overwhelming choice for West Ham United job’

0
When a manager leaves a Premier League club, the bookmakers are always quick to price up some odds on who his replacement will be.

Liverpool striker ‘wants to win Premier League or maybe Champions League’

1
The bookmakers aren't expecting the Reds to win any silverware next season, despite the big-money acquisition of Robbie Keane, and with Gareth Barry likely (but not certain!) to follow. Liverpool are fourth-favourites to win the Premier League, although that appears to be the main ambition of a certain Spanish striker . Click to continue reading...

Crimes And Punishments In A Bipolar World #

There are, undoubtedly, some characters in the game who are more murky than Peter Kenyon.
But, despite this proviso, you wouldn't want him going out with your daughter, would you?

This week Kenyon, who tries to justify the stability of one of the most psychopathic entities in world football, decided that it was a suitable time to lecture others from his House of Cards. Click to continue reading...

Why Bookmakers Hate The Olympics #

1
Only 11 days until the Greatest Sporting Show on Earth.
The Olympic Games represents the pinnacle, a summit that cannot be matched by any of the other mega-events like the World Cup or the World Athletics Championships.
Sure enough, the global power loci flex their muscles via their compliant media, and the selection of the host city for the extravaganza is a process mired in the murky world of kickbacks and coercion. Click to continue reading...

One Hull Of A Revolution!

Its no hidden fact Hull City face an uphill climb following a remarkable promotion
campaign last season. Many pundits have inevitably wrote The Tigers off already
this season, with many bookmakers saying a bottom placed finish is on the cards.

But Phil Brown has shown strong signals of Hulls intent to consolidate themselves
this season, by making 6 useful acquisitions to improve his squad already this summer,
and an apparent 4 or 5 more in the pipeline. Click to continue reading...

"Its Ole's, But Its Early Days"

David Pleat always manages to rise to the occasion, as the above warning to any Spaniards risking a premature exaltation clearly demonstrates.
He surpassed himself during the Semi Final between Spain and Russia.
My personal favourite was when he questioned himself on the (in)validity of his own description of Sergio Ramos as either a "cultivated bull" or a "cultured bull". Click to continue reading...

OK. Listen up.
With both Angela Merkel and Abdullah Gül present at last night's Euro 2008 semi Final between Germany and Turkey, our incredibly simple, yet startlingly profitable latter phase match determinator was unable to solve the outcome pre-match.

The Self-Moving Life Of What Is Dead

"The Self-Moving Life Of What Is Dead" - was Hegel's characterisation of money.

Jean Baudrillard: "This fetish money, around which global speculation revolves - far above and beyond the reproduction of capital - has nothing to do with wealth or the production of wealth. It expresses the breakdown of meaning, the impossibility of exchanging the world for its meaning, and at the same time the need to transfigure that impossibility into a sign of some kind".

"It was totally unjustified... What was happening in the penalty box as they prepared to take the freekick is nothing different to what has been going on for five years. And none of the other referees have whistled" - Leo Beenhakker.

When UEFA announced the match officials for the first 12 games of Euro 2008, the selection of Howard Webb and his cohorts for the Austria v Poland game was always an eye-opening appointment. Click to continue reading...

Respect The Passion - Its A Zero Sum Game

"Respect The Passion" screamed the Half Time advertisement for a particularly shoddy make of vehicle.
And Passion must be respected.
No carefree acknowledgement of a passing Passion, but a firm recognition of the emanation of a Spectacular Passion - the Passion of a Polluting Force.

Passion is no longer a "linking of souls", but merely a part of an inappropriate narrative imposed on the consumer - a linking of a product with an emotion. Click to continue reading...

With England staying home due to deities being unable to save the monarch, xenophobes were restricted to yesterday's garnering of votes for the World Cup 2018 Bid to demonstrate their lack of evolutionary zeal.
