Talking of which
Which of Jose's 5 excuses (sorry reasons) was the most plausible. Having racked MV's over worked brain for the last day or so the only reason we could feasibly come up with was: Liverpool were better for the first hour. That reason had conveniently slipped the scarf laden Portuguese managers notice.
Still when you've got to contend with Paola Ferreira in midfield and Didier Diver up front I'm sure there's a lot to think about.
Motty–Watch
Not one to call the Beeb's integrity in to question but did the sheepskin wearer seem a lot more animated, excitable and generally more annoying (than usual) every time the ball went near the reds' goal. He was audibly disappointed (if there can be such a thing) when John Terry's “goal” was disallowed “Terry, GOAL…….. no” – Unlucky Motty - hahaha
Lawro – the David Brent of punditry?
It begs the question has Jocky Hansen finally disowned him? Lawro gets more embarrassing by the week. MV's sure Motty only speaks to him because even he has to draw breath at some point. It can only be a matter of time before the BBC light entertainment department sign him for a new version of Blankety – Blank. If so MV hopes he will grow the muzzy back and use the Terry Wogan ‘wire coat hanger' microphone.
Missing cockernee joins midfielders anonymous
Unconfirmed reports from Russian Mafia enforcers stated they are on the lookout for a 27-year-old male, 6ft tall, brown hair described as ‘a bit chunkified'. The said individual was last seen wearing a blue shirt with number 8 on the back just before kick-off at Old Trafford early Saturday evening. There were unconfirmed sightings on the edge of the area 21 minutes later, dodging a free kick. He is now believed to be heading for Barcelona with a wheelbarrow of cash. Will answer to the name of ‘One trick Pony' or ‘Poor imitation of the red 8'
Question of the day
For anyone who witnessed the ‘car crash TV' that was Nancy D'Ollio's address at the PFA awards shown on Sky last night.
How much Pinot Grigio had she downed before speaking?? – I love you, you're my bezztt matess you is….. arrrrrrrrrrrrgh (you get the picture).
Headline of the week
‘Mourinho's blame game fingers everyone but himself' – The Guardian speaks for the nation and makes us wish Jose would stick something somewhere.
Quote of the week
“All I can say is that there is no doubt that one was over the line…” Luis Garcia on his Semi Final winning goal. Jose of course may have other ideas as there's always something that end at Old Trafford – just ask Pedro Mendes or Roy Carroll
And Finally
Who else can't wait to see Tim Lovejoy on Soccer am wearing a Tutu in Oxford Street - stating he is now a 2 time loser in semi – finals??
More lies, cut and pastes after Cardiff – Tell me ma !!
