So then, shite fans, where have all the posts gone?
Well, short of having a bit of a whinge about the state of Newcastle United over the last couple of weeks, I've not been posting much, and I probably owe you a bit of an explanation. The problem with that is I don't really have one, other than I've been absolutely swamped with all sorts of work from all sorts of strange angles, and I'm still likely to be for the next week or so, after that I ought to be back to my regular self. Joy. But with things having eased up a bit today I'm hoping to slowly build up to my former glories (ha) over the next few days, but if things are still a bit intermittent, well, at least you know why. Wish me luck.
Other than that, there's nothing much going on. I'd post my thoughts on King Kev going back to St. James', but I'd find that pretty hard as I don't actually care. Oh, and Lassana Diarra has left Arsenal for Portsmouth because he wasn't playing enough, the same problem he had with Chelsea. It might not have dawned on poor little Lassana, but when 'Arry's players come back from the African Nations, he'll be back on the bench again. If he wants to play week in, week out, he really ought to stop signing for teams that are already overstocked with central midfielders. A club where the devastatingly talented Pedro Mendes is lucky to get a game without half the squad being on a different continent is not a good destination for an average player that wants to leave the minute he gets an afternoon off.
On the subject of whinging footballers, with the club vs. country rows that have erupted across Europe in the period leading up to the African Cup of Nations, former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly has hit out at FIFA chief Sepp Blatter for wanting the tournament moved for the benefit of European clubs, claiming that it is an issue of respect; that European clubs do not respect African players as much as players from Europe or South America. Right. Would that be more or less respect than Marcel showed for Africa when he opted to play for successful European side France instead of his native Ghana.
Bye for now.
