Houllier Than Thou

So a report says that the worst effects of the cutbacks will be felt in the North and round my way in particular. Meanwhile bears have announced they like to have a shit in the woods, the Pope has astounded us with the announcement that he is a Catholic, and John Higgins has said he’s pleased with the outcome of the inquiry into his alleged match-fixing.

John said ‘I’m racked off. I was framed. Deeply screwed if you like.’ He told reporters he’d baulked at the allegation but had taken a long rest, and was pleased to break off from Pat Mooney. It wasn’t the first time a tip off had bothered him but he’d chalk it up as a lesson learned.

Meanwhile the red-tops continue to serve up bile on Wazza’s ‘prowling’ behaviour. It’s just disgusting the way the Croxteth Creep whispers sordid comments into the ears of prostitutes and their friends. Apparently he offers them money for sex too! If I was a hooker I’d be bloody furious and I’d try to cash in as quick as possible.
"Thanks to professional footballers' inability to handle a drink, I can afford these lovely red velvet curtains"

I expect Phil Jagielka will be lining up alongside Sexy Suzy at the heart of Everton’s defence on Saturday. She’ll be pulling him all over the park no doubt.

Or we could stop all this crap and let him sort out his divorce papers with the lass who’s fronting the Littlewoods campaign for Nice Boots. Boots is of course well familiar to her hubby who has been buying 12-packs of featherlite from the Chemists for ages. The swine.

On the pitch, Wayne reminded us of his quality and England were, well, bloody good on Tuesday. Joe Hart had a few flaps – inevitable after Clive Tyldesley was giving him a near-masturbatory review during the Bulgaria game. We had Jermain Duffo upfront or it would’ve been 4-nothing at half-time. But it was good.

Switzerland barely got out of neutral save for the cracking goal their fella scored and a home win v Montenegro should see England into safe waters.

So confident is the gaffer that he’s jacking it in after 2012 by which time he might have realised that the Shaun Wright-Phillips is crap. Sometimes when he’s running with it he reminds me of a toddler following a football down a hill. Even if he reaches it he won’t know what to do with it. There’s Adam Johnson, Lennon, Walcott, Milner, Young, Allbrighton, Gary Neville, the regulars at your local nursery... all ahead of him surely.

Capello’s happy with them all though. Apparently it’s cos they’re not tired. We’ve heard that before. World Cups happen after our season. Always have done. We want our players playing competitive fixtures at top clubs. If they do they play too much and when they get to the big tournament the little loves are out of puff. If they don’t they are presumably too poor a set of players to have any impact on the World Cup any road.

A mid-season break might help but frankly it looks like an argument for saying we’ll never win a gong as a national team. Bleak isn’t it?

Of course another argument is that too much energy is being diverted by our national heroes into extra-curricular activities, not least the employment of shit-hot lawyers who know how slap out injunctions like Billingsgate tradesmen slap out flatfish.

Whatever. These last two games have certainly confirmed a couple of things in my mind. John Terry need not return. Not cos he’s a bit of a plank, cos by that reckoning you’d have no one bloody well left. I mean if the BBC used that rule of thumb then who’d be left to present their television programmes?

No we don’t need JT cos there are better players in his position. Rio, if fit, should return alongside Jagielka.

And can we finally admit that Gerrard is better when Lampard’s not there? It’s blindingly obvious. They go together like steak and custard, like wall-building and jelly, like Kate Moss and a bra.

I'm here cos Stevie G can't make it.

I like Frank. But he plays if Gerrard can’t. End of.

Meanwhile the Premier League has welcomed back one Gerard Houllier. Not quite sure why Villa fans should be so utterly underwhelmed. It could’ve been Grease fan Sven-Goran ‘Well-a, well-a, well-a , ooh!’ Eriksson or Alan ‘nice man but he’s never won nowt’ Curbishley.

Houllier’s remembered for some bloody awful signings at Liverpool. Bruno Cheyrou always springs to mind. He was the new Zidane, wasn’t he? Now he’s the old Eric Djemba-Djemba. But Houllier did win the poor man’s treble in 2001 in the days when Michael Owen had hamstrings.

Plus he inherited that team of right scallies in the white suits. Robbie Fowler’ll tell you that was David James’s idea. They were taking fashion tips from David James... I wonder if Calamity has taken property portfolio tips from the Scouse touchline tooter...

Thing is, Houllier’s won things, he’s always seemed like a decent bloke and at the end of the day that’s better than having an insincere populist with an absence of brain-cells due to the excesses of his lifestyle. Having said that I’d’ve loved Maradona to get the gig.

Villa fans are right up there with the Toon Army when it comes to the Misplaced Big Club Syndrome. And even the Geordies are reining it in now after a year at the back of the sock drawer.
The good old days

How do Villa break in to the top four without going bankrupt? Well they don’t without sending some Brummie elves to the end of the next rainbow to glow over Aston. If you don’t get your heads round that, then General Krulak – as in a ‘Cruel Lack of Alternatives’ – and what a great name for a Villain! - will sit you down and make you understand!

Reality. We get right used to it on Teesside. Only now they call it Austerity.

    Adam,

    As you know I enjoy your company.Who could possibly forget that magical display of dancing you showed us all on the second Yarm night out.Plus your ability to get lovely ladies like Tracey to come over and speak to you.

    However,there is a place for you to discuss the music of the P*t S**p B**s to your hearts content.That being here at musicforsadpeople.com

    I'm sure you'd pull Ms Spears as well.After all,she is a big fan of plastic mancs.

  4. It would of been better for England if they were drawn in a group that offered a bit of competition. A few wins under the belt may be good for moral but if we're honest the opposing teams didn't exactly make it difficult for us. Some stiffer (oo-er) competition needed before we can access if we have made progress or we're just the same team as we were in S.A.

    Unfortunatly the Milner suspension for the next game may mean that Lampard will walk back into the team. If this happens then I think serious questions should be asked of Capello.

    Any way, now to read this one.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Where to start?

    Fantastic blog Robbo.A fine piece of work.

    Sean Wright Phillips is a bit like the other SWP,completely irrelevant.I wonder if the only reason he gets a game is to stop his Dad bouncing around like Tigger(how do you spot the difference?)at him not playing.

    I agree that we don't need John Terry.His best days are behing him and Jagielka and Dawson should play instead.I think Forgetmenand has too many injuries to worry about.

    ReplyDelete
  10. H2, Jacks - i think youre right. but if the countrywide concensus is that gerrard cant play with lamps and jagielka is better than terry then he'll play them both.

    id like to see bent given a run. duffo looks good when he scores but how many chances does he need? and he wont get them vs a top team.

  12. Good blog Robbo.

    The snooker puns were very much to the maximum.

    If Fat Frank does play Capello, please don't stick Gerrard on the wing eh? Put him in midfield and play just behind Rooney.

  13. that mark curry thing should have followed blogs "anonymous" question... can you lot not post so much when i am tryign to do a crap jokea nd takign forever to press teh "post comment" button.... cheers guys.

    Anyway John Terry should retire, Lampard should retire, Rio should retire, SWP should be putdown, and Gary Neville shoud be paraded around the country beneath the words "neer forget".

  27. Great blog Robbo.
    I'd still like to see Rooney up front, with Gerrard just in behind him(no pun intended). Then lets see if Lampard can play attacking centre mid behind the two of them.
    I'm pretty sure it's never been tried yet as England have always gone with two strikers. Then at least they would both be playing in their club positions (mostly). If Lampard has to come back, and I'm sure he will, then this has to be tried.

  72. Spit, I really need your advice on what could be a crucial decision. I’ve suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me.

    The usual signs… Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up.
    My wife has been going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, “Just some friends from work, you don’t know them.”

    I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always walks down the drive. Although I can hear a car driving off, as if she has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn’t in a taxi?

    I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

    Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her.

    I decided I was going to park my car next to the garage and then hide behind it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she came home. It was at that moment, crouching behind my bonnet, that I noticed that the valve covers on my engine seemed to be leaking a little oil.

    Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

    ReplyDelete
  73. stgp,

    you can try taking it to the dealer but driving all the way to Russia may be a bit steap. Just pack it back inthe mail box it came in and handle it over Mail, requesting a return to sender.

    Now we come to the serious matter of the valve cover. All you need is a soze 14 wranch and a replacement can be easily installed without pro help in under 5 minutes.

    ReplyDelete
  74. cheers spits, i knew with your background you would come up with a solution for me.

  117. FBH, I cant even get an interview at the moment. My CV must be fucking shite! :-)

    The jobcentre have put me in touch with some consultant who advises on CV's and interviews etc. If you are a jobseeker its free, everyone else pays him. So im thinking he must be on a good rate if he is willing to travel 25 miles to meet me.

  120. FFS. Just woke up and checked the Beeb - Defoe out for 6 weeks, and 'Arry leaving at the end of next season, probably. Then we'll be back on the managerial merry-go-round. Arse.

    Great blog Robbo, btw. I think you set a new record for snooker puns so good work fella.

    Trotts, I had a Redskins sticker on my bedroom door back in 1987, so I kind of follow them, even though they have gone down hill seriously. What do you reckon to their chances now they've signed McNabb? His SAS training will come in handy no?

  121. No I am not robbo - I am far better looking than him - have yoiu seen him..............

  122. I remember when the Redskins were on The uTube on Ch4 - and they tunred off the mile - during miners strike - politics eh??????????????

  123. Do you wanna hear my Miners strike story?

    ReplyDelete
  124. Noel, the Redskins are shite, but don't take my word for it!

    High expectations when Shanahan went there and then when McNabb signed everyone was getting hopeful but there's a problem now with their highest paid player, Haynesworth. He couldn't pass their basic fitness tests when he reported to camp and there's talk he might be trade bait. Then McNabb has come out and said they can't win without Haynesworth. Trouble at mill I reckon.

    ReplyDelete
  125. That's good to know Trotts! I can't really change my allegiance now though I suppose. I could just choose the Patriots or the Colts but I'll stick with the shit team. It worked with Spurs!

    Predict 3:1 for Arsenal.

  130. Morning All.
    Welcoming long weekend and a PL weeked, hope festive weekend to be a great one!

    No RvP, Theo and Nasri. Hopefully full match returns for Cesc, Rosicky and Wilshere. But knowing Wenger to the fullest, he will play Eboue.

    CL T20 begins today. Mumbai Indians all the way!!!

    ReplyDelete
  131. Morning SS11.

    Shame the fixture list hasn't allowed the English t20 teams to take part.Poor planning I think.Still,the climax of the county championship is worth it.

    First of the 5 ODIs vs Pakistan today.Money means the series will take place,but does anyone really want to play with the current allegations hovering over everything?

    I wouldn't grumble too much about AW.The home crowd keep putting up the "Arsene knows" banner.

    The only grumbles I have with Wenger are his insistence on over elaboration(just shoot for goodness sake)and his inability to keep his thoughts to himself.He must know by now that the press over here will cherry pick the bits from his answers.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I am facing B.B.A.S this weekend. Had to change the team by dropping poor performers...

    1) Rory "Slinger" Delap goes out for incomeing ex-Gunner Aleksander Hleb
    2) Mikel"I am Spanglish" Arteta makes way for Antonio Valencia

    ReplyDelete
  133. Yes, I noticed the T20 World Champs donot have their county clubs representing in CL T20.

    Dominic Cork, 40, still plays T20 level who very recently destroyed Kieron Pollard's left eye.
    Seriously speaking, some of the county clubs like Somerset, Yorkshire, Essex have some big hitting players. much better than what IPL produces.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Hey SS11. I get quite a bit of the IPL over here in Oz. Great entertainment. I watched a lot of the 20/20 games last season with Australia playing Pakistan and the Windies. For someone who was brought up watching 5 day test matches it's amazing to see the difference the 20 over game brings.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I would like to see next T20 WC being hosted in Oz land. Bouncy pitch @ Perth, Long boundaries, Good crowd, Big money, Great Entertainment.

    Definition of T20!

  136. Hey RBA, keep writing good blogs. I likes the 'untirement' one too.
    There's something in common b'ween us - we have'nt won a thing yet in FFL. Played 3 and Lost 3.

    ReplyDelete
  137. Yeah cricket is very, very big over here. We have a sports field next to our flat - it has a proper astroturf wicket and pavillion, and these are in every suburb. It was used every weekend of the summer, then when autumn arrived they laid turf over the wicket and put some 'soccer' goals up. It hasn't been used since, apart from by me drunkenly re-enacting some of the great goals of my career against my bewildered fiancée one evening. Sport is engrained into youngsters over here. England could learn a lot from it.

    ReplyDelete
  138. Noel,
    our youngsters over here are world beaters.You'll never beat them.How did Obi Wan describe Mos Eisley airport?That's our young uns.

    World beaters at teenage pregnancy,x-box and dwarf throwing.

    Mind you,we do excel in the art of pie making and dart flinging.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Haha, cheers SS11 i am hoping that slow and steady wins the race... although that tactic did naff all for my 100m career...

  144. I miss my darts RBA. One of the few sports I was good at. Fact, darts is the national sport of the Falkland Islands. Not sheep shagging, or penguin shagging as you may have previously thought. I used to play with 22gms and I opted for a simple Cross of St George flights. It was colour co-ordinated with my red stems innit.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Its a magic sport (well done for using the right word, haha) having kids i don't get in the pub much these days so about 4 months ago i bought a board and set it up in the flat and spend as much time as i can playing... which is about 10 minutes most days, but its the most relaxing theraputic part of my day... plus i am hoping to come out of reirement and back to the pub team as an absolute dominator... just started playing with 25g darts, about perfect i reckon...

    ReplyDelete
  146. I used to captain a team with me mates. We came mid table each year, but we won a trophy for that cos we were the cream of the crap. There were teams that took it too seriously, and we were sort of the best of the rest. We were called the Spearchuckers and had a huge zulu embroidered on our shirts holding a spear-sized dart. Happy days.

  150. Apparently it was a huge misunderstanding. Pastor Terry Jones was only going to burn the Koran onto DVD.


    Panic over lads...

  151. Funnily enough RBA,the reasonm I was absent for a few months from here was I was finishing off my book.

    I'm a slow reader.

    Noel,25g is a bit big isn't it?Bit like back in the 70s when Leighton Rees used to throw those massive brass bombs at the board.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I had a miniature lemon cheesecake last night that was simply spectacular. Normally I am not a big fan of 'mini' anything when it comes to grub but this beauty was a six-bite culinary masterpiece.

    I had been painting our living room for a few hours and, just when I was considering downing brushes, the lemon 'hit' kept me going until the midnight hour.



    An extract from Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen's biography? Nope - taken from a football blog on the BBC website. This is what they replaced Robbo with?

  154. the misunderstanding with Pastor Jones reminds me of the misunderstanding of The Beatles saying they were bigger than God.What they actually said was they were bigger than Rod and the reporter was deaf.They were quite right as well,The Faces didn't make it until the 70s.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Yeah Jacks, I think 25g is way over the top. Have to have arms like Popeye to get them to the board. That's why I prefer the 22g. The 25g is the darts equivalent of Blackburn, whereas the 22g is more Arsenal. I don't know what I'm talking about.

  157. NO way, 25gs aren't big at all... i used to play with 19g, but i am much more accurate with the 25s... which i only bought as they were cheap... but i know a lot of blokes that play with 32s... to think of the different bare in mind a 1p coin weighs 3.5g so thats all your adding... (also a useful tip to all aspiring weed dealers)... I promise you

    ReplyDelete
  158. I'd have thought RBA would use lighter darts as he can practise with all the needles knocking around in the town centre of Aldershot

    ReplyDelete
  159. size of your barrel not a bit too big RBA?

    (fnar fnar)

    ReplyDelete
  160. Oh and Phil Taylor plays with 26g... need i say more?

    ReplyDelete
  161. I used to get a lot of 100s with 25g, and my finishing was a bit off, but with 22g I get more 140s and 180s occasionally, and my finishing is better. But it's all related to the level of alcohol in your veins anyhow. Too little and you don't relax enough, too much and you hit the bloke doing the scoring. It can be plotted with an inverse square graph, with skill on the y axis, and blood alcohol level on the x axis.

  162. you ever tried to put a flight on a hyperdermic needle... tricky stuff.

    As for me barrel, i've had no complaints...

  163. haha, i'm the opposite noel... but will agree with the alchyhol level... thats the real science of the game... its all chemistry.


    and barny plays with 25g...

  164. You should try putting flights on a dwarf RBA,that's much trickier.

  169. Robbie Keane will have to step up then I guess. Be ironic if he scores a few against Inter after it was Rafa who turned him from a 20 plus goal a season striker into Emile Heskey. That's if Rafa is still at Inter when we play them.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Crikey, 25g of coke is defiantely too much! Unless your maradonna, or your a hooker about to go with wayne Rooney... youd need the old columbian courage then...
