Humor: Nani Completes a Cross in Practice

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:29:38 +0000

Take note: the article below is purely satirical, and is meant solely for entertainment purposes. The Manchester United camp is buzzing today. Today in practice, Manchester winger Nani completed a cross in the air to his teammate's head. The cross took place during a five-on-five scrimmage during the United practice. Nani has been criticized lately due to his inconsistency when it comes to crossing the ball. In an interview with The Sun, United coach Sir Alex Ferguson was ecstatic. He commented—"Everybody was excited. This is real progress for Nani." "During the summer, we played a game where I jokingly asked Nani to hit the defender anytime he crosses. He won that game." "I realized, once Nani told me that he hit the defender 14 times and asked if I'm proud, what's going on." "Since then, I think Nani's been confused. The whole mismanagement issue was just that—I never told him to stop playing the game." "I think Nani hired a couple of prostitutes to celebrate. That might be ...

Rafa Benitez's Bargain Hunting Costing Liverpool Dearly

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:21:43 +0000

At the close of last season, it was thought that Liverpool were finally going to end the run which has seen them not lift the league trophy since the managerial tenure of Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish. Now, a mere 12 games into the new season, they seem to be out of the title race. Not only this, but Europe is looking grim as well. For Liverpool fans across the globe, this has come as a shock and has brought them back to earth to face the grim reality that the cost cutting measures of the financial crisis has meant that the club entered the new season under-prepared, unready and with a squad that is still far too reliant on two key players. The question here is whether the blame is solely Benitez's or if it is to do with the clubs ownership not being true blue reds. After all, can the American owners really understand the nature of the passion of Kop end regulars? Or any Liverpool fans for that matter? It is hard to imagine many of the premier leagues foreign owners really understanding ...
