EVIL!

ok ive just noticed something on the loriders sidebar. something that made the hackles rise and the blood boil! now any english person who reads this will know the link im on about but for those that dont hail from this scepterd isle, let me elucidate!
its that manchester bloody united link! they are evil, evil i tells ya! they are like a big red Pacman eating up all the support and money out of the game. to me they are the absolute antithesis of what it means to support your team and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with that. its baout sticking with your team through thick and mostly thin and not following the crowd. its about watching a team you have a real emotional connection with, the local lads wearing the colours of your town playing against some northern upstarts. its NOT about watching a team play on SKY, its NOT about bullying the kid who supports the shit local team at school, its NOT about buying all the latest merchandise, its NOT about Champions Tuesday or MUTV.
manchester united are a curse upon english football. i now hate them with such a vengance that when they are in europe i actively cheer on the opposition so it made my week when they went out to Porto a couple weeks back. its the arrogance and self righteousness of them that pisses me off. its the way they are the wornged party if they dont get a decision but are blind whe the ref (more often) gives it to them. they are such sore losers its unbelievable! also, its the way they see nothing wrong with poisioning the minds of the youth of this country into wearing their kits on the streets of Gillingham or Torquay or Rochdale whilst the local struggles and nearly goes out of business!
now if only i knew how i could put a link to Dulwich Hamlet in that sidebar! thats it, rant over, im going t have me dinner!

As with all Americans, i have the Soccer Blocker* Chip implanted in my brain. Reading the words Manchester United and Dulwich Hamlet kind of made me blank out, like someone hit the reset button in my mind. Seeing the word Football briefly revived me, untill i realized that you were just talking about Soccer. : )
But really...In the US our ManU is the New York Yankees. They are despicable dirty rotten stinky vile ugly disgusting slimy putrid corrupt rank rancid disease ridden nauseating cockaroaches from hell, and everyone throughout history to ever wear the white and black pinstripes (Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, and all fans included) should be excommunicated to a small, rocky, frozen chunk of land in Antartica, with barely enough whale fat and seal livers to give them sustenance through the 11 months per year of brutal winter storms, total darkness 24 hours a day, and frequent polar bear attacks.
*patent pending
well, anon, you could be right about the yankees... if anyone actually cared about baseball. (burn!)
in actuality, the Dallas Cowboys are the equivalent, I only chose to post Man U over them because I thought to give my obnoxious tendancies an international flavour.
(flavour - get it?!)
Well considering that baseball in comparison to all pro sports on earth has the highest player salaries, highest ticket revenues, highest merchandising revenue, higest advertising/sponsorship revenue, and nationally televises 3 or 4 games A DAY during the 130 game season - i would be inclined to say that someone cares about baseball.
(burn!)
BTW - The Dallas Cowboys have not been a force in the NFL for around 10 years. They also have had pretty much no notable free agent signings, or superstars on their squad. (BurnSquared)
If you want to read about a real football team, please read this -

none of that dallas cowboys or whatever stuff is FOOTBALL, what we play here is the beautiful game, what you lot play is Gridiron!
thanks for the support GBM!
3 Reasons why most Americans dislike Soccer - umm i mean Football. ; )
1.) As for "Gridiron" being boring - how can it be any more boring than watching a bunch of pretty boys kick a ball up and down a huge field for an hour and a half and never put a damn point on the board? That 0 - 0 and 1 - 0 shit doesnt fly here. The biggest excitement in the game is when someone accidentally gets kicked in the nuts. I'm suprised that they dont stop the match every 30 minutes for nap time.
2.) The pathetic uniforms of all Football clubs not only in Europe, but globally. How can you take an athlete seriously when he has a shiny yellow silk uniform that says something like "NESTLE QUICK CHOCOLATE MILK - MMMM MMM GOOD!".
Athletes are heros, and football players seem to cheapen themselves as running/kicking billboards. American sports teams may sell the naming rights of their stadiums, and put an ad on your beer cup, but none yet have sold their entire squads historic identity to the highest bidder.
3.) Whenever there is a World Cup, Euro Tournament, or any of the other football playoff, we do see a lot of television coverage here in the states. The problem is that it is mostly of drunken animals beating the shit out of each other, setting small fires in the stadiums, chanting racist songs, and throwing bottles at police officers. Americans are supposed to be so violent and quick on the trigger, but suprisingly that bullshit rarely ever happens here. Interesting isnt it?
I know i said 3, but as a treat to you all, I present #4.
4.)David Beckham. He is being sold to the world as Football's poster boy. He wears makeup, styles his hair, and dresses like a drag queen. I am quite convinced that he has a vagina. Furthermore, in an effort to popularize the sport in America we are bombarded with images of him and his slutty, washed up, lip synching Spice Girl wife parading around like they are Joseph and Mary. The publicity campaign has failed. We still have never heard of Real Madrid or Chelsea.
lol cookie, you've got a great friend in GBM... oh, well, I guess he keeps you honest.
as for you anon........ROFL!!!!
so mr anonymous, we wont be seeing you donw Priestfield or the den then?
well now, thats the GBM i know n grudgingly admire!
Gawblimeyman - last time i was in London everyone was paying premium import prices for the weak gnats piss that we laughably call Budweiser. The UK is the 2nd largest market in the world for Anheiser-Busch.
Yeah, you folks in England sure do know all about good beer!
(rolls eyes)
*gurgle* the testosterone. . *gargle*. . . i can't breathe. . .*gasp* lorider. . HELP ME . .
sidebar: i like that the brits (G-man is this chill or should i call ya'll something else?) say ARSEHOLE. it has a little extra oomph. i wish i could say it without sounding like a freak. maybe i'll just say it anyway.
oh and some americans do like their beer thick and chewy, dark and chocolatey, roasty, mmm...complex, malty and bitter and woody...mmm..oops got carried away there. . . so we don't all drink gnat's piss. for real.
oh and football and 'football' are weak ass sports compared to rugby. and the canadian curlers could kick all their pretty ass padded buttocks. take that arseholes.
let me hear it now! yee-hah!
yeah!!!!
girl power!!!!! you tell em, BRITEW!
I think I may be in danger of returning to an all sports blog.... or perhaps an all-sports and beer blog.....
hmmm....I guess things could be worse. excuse me, I have to go read up on some sports facts now!
