Lend Us A quid David

2007-01-14T06:28:00.000+00:00

I know a lot of people have been talking
about the Beckham move. The money involved; how
he's passed it, etc. Well this is my take
on the situation.

Basicly Madrid had offered him a deal but it was
mainly for shirt sales then his footballing talent.

The Galactico's have come to an end. Beckham joined
them just too late to win anything big (Not spanish cup) like Macca
did.

So he had 4 choices,

1) Stay and fight a loosing battle for his
place against younger and more up and coming players. Be known just for
shirts!

2) Go to Italy or France (I thought he might do this)

3) Go to an English club (No way)

4) Go to the states (sometime but probably later)

Playing for an unglamorous English club would have hurt Brand Beckham
too much. People forget that in Florida over 50% speak spanish and Real Madrid is a well
known team not Portsmouth or Bolton.

He's made it clear that he only wanted to play for Man U and Real
Madrid , So an Italian club or french club did not appeal.

The reporters and pundits who dislike him, now say he should have come
to England to fight for his English place, but The idea that he would
play for England again makes me laugh.

Remember McClaren dropped him and only if McClaren left would he ever
be 'maybe' selected. He would only leave the England job if England did not qulaify next
year. I think That wont happen. Beckham knows this too and was a factor in
him going to the USA. Even if he had scored a hattrick every game he would not
have been selected and certain reporters would have always found fault.

The American league allows one uncapped salary player in a team
and lets face it anyone would have taken that deal.

I think he knew and was told that If he didn't take this deal now
then in a couple of years the amount would have been a
lot less and he would definatly be seen as 'going
only for the money' as it would ave been the only offer.

This was a once in a lifetime offer and who would say no.
$250 million buys a lot of Stella!

Week 22 Preview

2007-01-12T09:45:00.000+00:00

Watford v Liverpool
Liverpool have only won away 3 times in the league all season but they have come in their last 4 away matches. Watford have only won once at home. Dirk Kuyt has 8 goals and 6 MOTM awards. Steven Gerrard is the only player to have started all Liverpool's TFF matches this season. Ashley Young is Watford's leading scorer with a massive 3 goals.
TFF prediction: 1-2

Bolton v Man City
Ricardo Vaz Te is the most used substitute in TFF, Sam Allardyce has called on his services from the bench 14 times this season. He has had only 3 starts though. He has yet to score. Joey Barton has finally found a striker to share his scoring burden at City, Georgios Samaras has now joined him on 5 goals. Manchester City also managed to start with 6 TFF defenders in the FA cup against Sheffield Wednesday.
TFF prediction: 2-0

Charlton v Middlesbrough
Talal El Karkouri is the only Charlton player to have started all their matches and as a result has conceded more goals (43) than any other player in TFF. Darren Bent has scored more goals - 8, than the rest of the team put together and that doesn't look like changing even though he's injured. Andy Reid has somehow managed 5 MOTM awards. Yakubu is 'Boro's top scorer with 9 and is also their only ever-present player. Jonathan Woodgate has 5 MOTM awards.
TFF prediction: 0-0

Chelsea v Wigan
Wigan's midfielders have managed only 1 goal between them compared with 5 from their defenders. Didier Drogba is the highest TFF goal scorer with 13. Frank Lampard now has 10 KC’s.
TFF prediction: 3-1

Man Utd v Aston Villa
Wayne Rooney is joint top of the TFF KC list with 11 whilst Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals from midfield with 12. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has managed to score every 1.57 games he's appeared in and 6 of those were as a sub. That is better than anyone with more than 3 appearances this season. Gareth Barry is Villa's top scorer with 8 but Gavin McCann has most MOTM awards with 4. Aston Villa have not won in 12 matches.
TFF prediction: 3-1

Sheffield United v Portsmouth
Sheffield United are now the only team to feature brothers (Alan & Stephen Quinn) in their TFF squad. Rob Hulse is leading goal getter with 8. Portsmouth's Matthew Taylor has more goals than any other defender in the game with 5 and their defence’s total of 10 puts their midfielders to shame, Pedro Mendes' solitary goal being their only contribution.
TFF prediction: 1-1

West Ham v Fulham
West Ham's defenders have not scored in the opposition's net at all this season but have managed 2 own goals. Brian McBride has 7 goals which makes him Fulham's top scorer. Fulham have drawn their last 5 matches.
TFF prediction: 2-2

Blackburn v Arsenal
In-form Benni McCarthy now has 10 goals. None of Blackburn's defenders have found the opposition's net this season. Blackburn are unbeaten since their 6-2 mauling by Arsenal last month. Blackburn won this fixture 1-0 last season. Cesc Fabregas is a KC king with 11 to his name. Robin van Persie averages about a goal every other game and didn't score last time he played so chances are he'll score in this one.
TFF prediction: 1-2

Everton v Reading
Kevin Doyle is head and shoulders above the rest of his teammates with 10 goals (Lita is 2nd with 5 in League and Cup). Johnson has 8 for Everton in league and cup. Last match between the clubs ended 2-0 to Everton. Could be a sticky time for the Royals!!
TFF prediction: 1-0

Tottenham v Newcastle
Defoe is Spurs top scorer in the league with 6. Martins has 7 for the Toon. Newcastle beat Spurs 3-1 last time they played.
TFF prediction: 3-1

Points Mean Stella

2007-01-10T13:05:00.000+00:00

My mate martin got only 6 points this week and maybe for a new year
resolution he should get a new team without Liverpool players
in it.

I made a couple of subs at the weekend trying to be clever.
it got me 1 extra point, what a waste of time! Larson looked
good for man U at 5.6 million i think he might start to feature
in a few teams

Here's the very latest :

The top ten

1 No Hopers (45) T=880
2 Creme de la creme Calverley II (47) T=827
3 The Stella Drinking Clarets (47) T=814
4 Chapman's Choppers(38) T=809
5 Too good to go down IV (44) T=806
6 The Winners (48) T=799
7 Martin touches carp in a dodgy way (46) T=795
8 MC's Bellamy,Henry &shevchenko in this team (35) T=760
9 Spurs delight (51) T=753
10 Still game (34) T=740

Mike Claverley emailed me about his number 2 team he said I
was like an ex-grilfriend who would not go away. I think I want that
case of stella of mike more than finishing first.

Between Hangovers update

2006-12-28T11:26:00.000+00:00

Here's the top ten

1)No Hopers (68) 769
2)Creme De la CalverleyII (64) 712
3)Chapmans Choppers (49) 693
4)The Stella Drinking Clarets (53) 688
5)Martin touches carp in a dodgy way (67) 681
6)Too good to go down IV (55) 675
7)The winners (37) 659
8)MC's Bellamy, Henry and Shevchenko in this team! (37) 655
9)Flying Monkeys IV - Monkeys on patrol (37) 632
10)Still Game (56) 625

Manager of the week is the cunning Jason Lee at number 5. He finally got rid of the chelsea dude in goal and has jumped into the top 5.

My nemesis Mike Calverley is still getting ahead of me but as in football matches; he starts of well but finishes poorly!

Luckily the case of stella with him is still ofset by martin down in 20th place, shame about sunny he is at 12 and just cant get into the top ten. If talking a good game gained points he would be a number 1!

Right my hangover is starting to clear so its time for another drink.
