From the BBC website's clockwatch of Liverpool v Aston Villa:
'1543: GOAL Liverpool 3-0 Aston Villa - It is getting embarrassing for Villa now, with their unbeaten league run seemingly in tatters. But what a fabulous team goal from a supposedly out-of-sorts Liverpool, ending with Luis Garcia calmly slotting under Thomas Sorensen from 10 yards.
'1614: GOAL Liverpool 1-3 Aston Villa - Surely even Martin O'Neill cannot turn this one around? But the master tactician's half-time substitutions begin to pay dividends.'
Further proof that ex BBC pundits are on the gravy train !!!
The Latest Graduate From Chelski Cheat School
Says Jose Mourinho:
"I am surprised with Eidur because he played in English football all his professional life and three months later he gets that penalty."
Yes, tell that to Xabi Alonso who was booked in the Champions League Semi at Stamford Beach following a typical act of professionalism from the Icelandic Saint. Or perhaps he just remembered what he had been taught at his short spell at Bolton.
Quote Of The Week 1
"The worst thing about playing Chelsea is having to listen to Mourinho afterwards" - Barcelona libero Edmilson must thank his lucky stars he's not living in Britain where we have to listen to the Special Case's meaningless drivel almost daily.
Quote Of The Week 2
"The sending-off for Fernando was the turning point, we were disappointed that Liverpool raced away from a throw and did not give the ball back to us after a stoppage. That was not fair play," The Girondins manager Ricardo has a touch of the Jose's following a legitimate attack by the reds (not the one on JAR!!)
Quote Of The Week 3 (yes count them: 3)
"It's special - and not just because I'm a Liverpool fan. It's our first win in the Champions League - we are breaking barriers all the time." Copenhagen coach Stale Solbakken offers ol' Red-nose some proper Carlsberg Export hospitality following the Danes victory against the Blacksox on Wednesday.
News from the Nou camp
Barcelona could be in trouble after their fans allegedly hurled bottles at the Chelsea players.
Pie-eater and deflected shot goal-getter Fwank Lumpalard said: "I knew things were raining down but none of them hit me. "There was a bit of banter with the Spanish fans and that was good."
Now MV knows the Campy Nou nou is big but we refuse to believe that the Barca fans could miss a target that large. It's just a pity no-one brought a pigs head like the one saved for Luis Figo a few years back. MV suspects young Fwank would have been glad to be hit in the gob with that…
Blatantly obvious Vino pun that was most definitely corked
Congrat's go to Wigan leather coat model Paul Jewell who out McCoisted Super Ali with his spilling claret references following JAR's unfortunate incident. Oh yeah and John if you're reading this (we know you're a big MV fan) yep all that waving did get the camera focused on you. To be fair it was the best Halloween cozzy MV had seen all night!! Trick or treat!!
From the MV archive
"I've got a skin like a rhino' - Steve Bruce. Yes you bag of spuds: you've got a face like the rear end of one too!! Here's to more fun and games with the Bongo's on Wednesday…..
Now is his lad Alex still playing for them???
More idiotic ramblings sometime in the next couple of weeks (well maybe)
