'Quote of the Week' - Gordon Strachan
May I thank 'Mr Celtic' for a comment he made this week that was so simplistic, yet true that every walking, talking living doll that has ever been out on the lash can relate to it.
I was greatly touched that the 'Sweaty Sock' should include me (and you) when he addressed the point in question to his players and staff alike.
Cheers Gordon!
He said:- "Going out drinking doesn't help team spirit. When you drink you just tell lies and talk rubbish"
I say:- Guilty as charged.
As a consequence may I suggest this weekend that we all celebrate our inclusion into the lifestyles of the football emporium by talking nonsense whilst necking copious amounts of liquor, starting with a wee dram of finest Highland Malt Whisky in honour of Mr.Strachan, even if it does stunt your growth.
God Bless you all!

'Fill Your Boots'-Bet of The Week & Why?
It's that time of year again in the world of English top flight football.
Welcome to the 'Wacky Weekly World' of the managerial merry go round.
Without a doubt having a small punt on the next coach/manager to walk the plank......whether pushed, or privately relinquishing their role in a vain attempt to save face (tricky if your a Dowie......facially speaking of course).
This is of course after first receiving the now traditional ceremonial backing (back-stabbing) from the....... well er 'backers.' This makes for more funtime than showtime!
Inside information is undoubtedly useful, but common sense is suffice. Remember losing the job of handing out the bibs during & collecting the cones at the end of a training session may not be everyone's idea of how to put bread and water on the table in an effort to climb the career ladder. However the music has stopped and their are not enough chairs to go around, so with a touch of South London bias I would engage my hard earned pounds floundering in 'The Orrifice' this week in a Managerial Exit Win Double.
Get on before it all kicks off, on and off the hallowed turf of stadiums around the country this weekend......with the exception of the wonderful atmospheric and stylish home of Brighton FC.
Blame the council I hear the success starved Sussex settlers snivell, but that doesn't change the fact that your ground is still a dump! I digress.
'Fill your boots' says get on two ex-Crystal Palace Managers for the chop after this weekends fixtures. In the Championship Bruce's blues are away at a resurgent Derby under 'Billy the Wizz' Davies......and I can't see the ex-Palace boss coming away with anything from Pride Park except abuse. Bye bye Brucie.
A skinny 5/6 I know, but the best is yet to come.
By next week the Palace will be associated nationally with punters and supporters alike, as having given something back to the game by providing the 'fall guys' for some of the other so called 'bigger clubs.'
The phrase 'bigger club' is without doubt a truly monotonous, tiresome and irritating expression devised and used by the Associated Press to ridicule and exclude anyone and anything football related, unless it contains the 'C' word, namely Champions League, Chelsea, Cudicini, Cech, Carvallio, Cole and Cole, Cheating and Cheque book.
Now take the letter 'C' and you bring me to the 6/1 generally being offered on Charlton's Iain Dowie being the first to be shown the Premiership door next week. Ok, so they are home to Watford on Saturday, but anything less than three points and the proverbial '' clear your locker out and leave the key at reception Mr. D. your taxi will be here in five! '' seems inevitable.
So there we have it a 12/1 win double give or take a few bob.

CHARLY THE BLACK CAT LE DA CONSEJOS SENTIMENTALES AL RUSO(?)
LA NOVELA DE "ROMÁN", IRINA y DARIA.(Mdol) "....Roman Abramovich, presidente y dueño del Chelsea, rival este miércoles del Barça en la 3ª jornada de la liguilla de Champions, está muy cerca de protagonizar el divorcio más caro de la historia. Irina Abramovich, su esposa le ha demandado a raíz de que él está en pareja con una joven de 23 años...."
"...El empresario, que es dueño de una fortuna cifrada en cientos de millones de euros de euros, ha sido 'cazado' por el semanario 'News of the World' en varios lugares en compañía de la joven modelo rusa de 23 años Daria Zhukova y se enfrenta a una millonaria demanda judicial que le ha hecho llegar Irina, su segunda esposa, madre de sus cinco hijos.
Irina Abramovich, de 39 años, ha puesto el caso a disposición de un importante grupo de abogados especializados en demandas de divorcio, informó el citado semanario, propiedad del magnate Rupert Murdoch.
La mujer justificó su accionar en que su marido, de 40 años, mantiene una relación extramatrimonial y aunque intentó evitar que la noticia fuera divulgada, no lo consiguió. Abramovich podría perder la mitad de su fortuna si prospera el reclamo de su hasta ahora esposa..."

ANTI-RIVER (así les va)
Champions de mierda. Me hicieron comer dos partidos juntos.
Inter: Mancini es lejos el peor dt del mundo. Es un desastre. Como jugador era exquisito pero como entrenador da pena el muchacho. Resulta que estaba 2-0 arriba, cómodo. Pero bueno sigue poniendo a ese invento de central llamado Iván Ramiro Cordoba. Se puso 1-2 el Spartak luego de que IRC salió de paseo y se empezó a desesperar, sacó a Figo y Recoba y puso a Samuel y Burdisso!!!...sí, linea de seis!!!! Digo yo, no te das cuenta que el colombiano ese es un desastre que tuviste que ponerle 3 centrales al lado para que no te lo empataran. Dejó en el banco a Solari y Crespito, y puso al negro sin alma de Adriano (que no hizo nada), encima casi se lo empatan en la última jugada..
El Spartak no se conforma con hacer sapo en la Champions. Quiere dar pena. Hoy se puso 1-2 con una jugada milagrosa (que este IRC enfrente es un milagro que hay que aprovechar), y Fedotov, el dt, en vez de poner a Cavegol prefirió perder por uno y dejar el resultado como estaba.
Barcelona: Se ve que le bajaron línea de arriba a Rijkaard, porque desde que volvió Txiqui a España a Saviola no lo volvieron a poner. Hoy sacó a Gudjohnsen y en vez de poner otro nueve puso a Giuly!!!. Perdió por supuesto (esperando que el vendehumo de Ronaldinho apareciera), ante Hilario, el tercer arquero del Chelsea porque Cech y Cudicini están lesionados..
Encima gracias a estos 3 payasos me hicieron mierda en el Fantasy Football. Cuando uno sabe siempre esta solo.

Losauro, bostero, pará de llorar...
Si hay un diario impresentable a nivel deportivo ese es el diario La Nación. Yo creo que el suplemento de deportes de la Agencia de Pancho Dotto hace un papel mas digno, en cuanto a conocimiento, nivel periodistico y editorial. A tal punto que califican con puntaje a los técnicos!!.
Uno de los editores de ese pasquín es Carlos Losauro, un señor muy mayor que al parecer la derrota del domingo le pegó muy duro:
"No es casual: los resultados dominan el planeta fútbol, dentro y fuera de la cancha; el talento distingue a los jugadores y los potencia cuando levantan los brazos del triunfo; la pasión, siempre bajo la exacerbación en su entorno, les da vida a los hinchas. La Banda Roja, todo lo que tenga que ver con River, envuelto en la euforia de la espectacular victoria por 3-1 sobre Boca del domingo último, en el Monumental, por el Apertura, se derrumbó en un par de horas: el equipo conducido por Daniel Passarella quedó eliminado de la Copa Sudamericana con el empate 2-2 con Atlético Paranaense, justamente un conjunto sin mucha historia -al menos poco popular, entre nosotros-, en Brasil.
"En realidad, se puede decir que River anoche no desentonó y estuvo cerca, en merecimientos, de otro destino en Brasil. Pero el fútbol no conoce de derrotas o empates dignos. Así, los millonarios siguen vacíos en conquistas internacionales desde hace un buen tiempo: exactamente desde 1997, cuando se adjudicaron la Supercopa al ganarle en la definición a San Pablo, con Ramón Díaz como DT. Después, la nada. En el ámbito local, la historia es menos cruel pero dolorosa por tratarse de River: desde la conquista del Clausura de 2004, el conjunto de Núñez no sabe de vueltas olímpicas. Passarella sabe que tiene que ponerse al frente de otra resurrección futbolística , la última de la temporada, en el Clausura; también, que el triunfo contra Boca fue el mejor paliativo para la inestabilidad futbolística en la que se debatía el equipo, pero que de ninguna manera le asegura un camino de rosas; menos, si se trata de fútbol y de River. El Káiser, de regreso de Brasil, con las barbas en remojo, inflará el pecho y sabe que el paso siempre tiene que ser para adelante; ni al costado y, mucho menos, para atrás. Curiosa paradoja: en la vereda de enfrente, la del archirrival, el DT Ricardo La Volpe sigue corriendo por La Boca con los fantasmas de Alfio Basile en la nuca. Las primeras batallas al frente del supercampeón, tal como lo dejó el Coco al conjunto xeneize antes de irse a la selección, abruman al hombre que hizo pie en México, tras jugar en tierra azteca, para luego dirigir el seleccionado local. El contexto de Boca y su reciente pasado ganador le dan un poco más de aire a La Volpe, aunque falsas actuaciones, con rendimientos que no convencen a hinchas y propios jugadores, le acorten el crédito al hombre de los bigotes y de recia estampa". closauro@lanacion.com.ar
Losauro es la Sudamericana (una copa organizada por un canal de televisión-al menos poco popular entre nosotros-). A los unicos que le importa es a los hinchas de tu equipo para seguir llenando la vitrina de copas de leche...

World Cup Exit - The Shame of it!
2nd July 2006
To whom it may concern,
Is there a Supreme Being up there?
Before I even open a newspaper this morning or before Sven’s 10.30am final & farewell press conference and after throwing all my toys out of my pram following our miserable & scandalous dismissal from the biggest sporting showpiece event in the world, I have only one word left, ‘WHY?’
Why to not one but numerous questions?
I want to be objective, but feel like I saw a conspiracy theory second to none in the Portugal versus England World Cup quarter-final game yesterday.
Even before the tournament began one can ask several questions beginning with that dreaded three lettered word.
Why did Sven pick a squad with only 4 strikers?
Why did he pick only 4 when he knew 2 were injured or recovering from injury & a third in Walcott that had never even played a senior game for his Premiership club.
Defoe & Johnson probably don’t know whether to laugh or cry!
These are all issues that the nation is acutely aware of & have been scratching their heads ever since the day the squad was announced. So moving on….
What is Sven’s obsession with David Beckham? Why does he favour Beckham so much? Why does he never drop him or god forbid substitute him?
Can someone enlighten me please?
Beckham is not a great player anymore. He is in the twilight of his career. He contributed to 50% of all our tournament goals but nothing else. His free kick versus Ecuador was magnificent but it was his first set piece goal in a competitive match for England in three years! He has such a hold on what goes on (& off the field) we don’t know if any other player can strike a decent free-kick, because we never see anyone other than Beckham get the chance.
Beckham as skipper? Beckham an automatic choice to start?
I wont even bother to delve deeper……every supporter has their own opinion on Beckham.
My overall feeling is that he is the Anna Kournikova of football.
Losing hurts but why so much?
Not because of another quarter-final defeat, or even on going out on penalties-for the sixth time in a major tournament?
Nor because we are a nation of bad losers. Losing is a habit & the England football team has turned this country’s passionate supporters into gibbering wrecks, that continually end up consoling themselves with habitual quantities of alcohol, in comfort not in celebration.
I’m sure my Blood type is ‘L’
L for lager that is!
It’s an all too familiar story!
This country is full of people suffering from total disillusionment and in football they see a temporary route to escapism where reality can take a back seat & therefore allowing themselves the ‘luxury’ of putting the mundane misery of this fractured state to bed for a couple of hours.
Why is a referee of a nationality, in this case Argentinean, chosen to be put in control of a football game involving another nation of which there is a history of political tension.
No human being on this planet is free from total impartiality.
The scourge of the Portuguese football nation is now upon us. Give up on your holidays to the Algarve, don’t buy Mateus Rose, and boycott Port and Sardines.
It is not a win at all costs competion.
Negativity, spoiling, diving, spitting, feigning injury, abusing opposing players verbally & physically & the constant pressurising of officials on a national stage is unacceptable.
If Portugal goes on to lift the trophy, the World Cup tournament itself will be de-valued and the competition should be disbanded!
As for Cristiano Ronaldo may he choke on a well-hidden sardine bone.
I am not a Man Utd fan, far from it, but that is not the issue. He has proved himself to be a disgrace. He has a cheating mentality, is a troublemaker & a man who clearly thinks well above his station.
He created problems at his club this season in the shape of Ruud van Nistelrooy. Ferguson, foolishly or not sided with Ronaldo & Ruud was put on the bench to stew.
He has according to the press, been talking up a move to Real Madrid apparently using Man Utd as a stepping stone.
Currently in terms of trophies lifted in recent times he is clearly misguided.
How can any Utd fan want him back at THEIR club? He has taken the game into the gutter.
He must never be allowed to put on a Man Utd shirt on again!
He conspired to get a fellow pro sent off, and a player who he trains & shares a dressing room with on a daily basis.
Rooney must be seething, guilty or not?
I should think Manchester police will have him under house arrest on his return or Ronaldo will feel the full weight of a ‘Raging Rooney’ dealing with him in the way he used to look after himself, growing up on the streets of Toxteth.
Finally Mum’s & Dad’s to be kindly refrain from calling any future children ‘Cristian(o)’ because that is something he will never be. It’s slanderous!
Yours faithfully,
Mark L.A Ross

JOHNSON / DOWIE / BRUCE & AGENTS
Dear Mr. Jordan,
Following recent events at the CPFC I felt compelled to write to you, & take this opportunity to congratulate you on the way you have dealt with circumstances of late at our Club, yours as the Chairman & mine as a football supporter.
As a die-hard Palace fan I have always had a high regard for the enterprising way you have publicly represented Crystal Palace Football Club, and in particular the dynamic way in which you have stood your moral high ground on a number of issues. This has expressly come to light in view of recent affairs, not to mention several others during your tenure.
In addition, your dealings with regard to the Andrew Johnson transfer were indeed a terrific example of your business acumen. AJ was a wonderful player, a terrific pro & a credit to CPFC.
You successfully secured his services with a substantial contract offer last summer & he stayed with us far longer than many fans thought he might. The temptation for Andrew to join a Premiership club must have been tremendous following our infamous last day relegation defeat at Charlton.
You negotiated a substantial, yet totally justifiable fee for a proven goalscorer & an England International.
He may even have seen out his contract at Palace, had we won promotion this year, so it was inevitable he would want to further his career with a Premiership club, but not ‘any old’ Premiership club as it turned out (in the cases of Wigan & Bolton). That in itself added an interesting dimension to the eventual outcome!
I felt some of the offers for him were derisory & insulting to say the least, to you, to the Club & indeed the player himself.
You were spot on when you dismissed a previous attempt by Everton to secure AJ’s services, when you were quoted as saying that their offer of £6million was, ‘Not enough to buy his trainers.’ And so it proved.
I wish Andrew the best of luck at Everton FC & I hope some of the money from his transfer can be used to strengthen the team & backroom staff this summer, in pursuit of promotion next season.
All in all as disappointed, as I was to see him depart it was a terrific bit of business for a player that cost £750,000 back in 2002!
Moving on, what is Mr. Iain Dowie trying to do except embarrass the Club by moving to The Valley in such a fashion. I myself wrongly assumed that when Billy Davies was linked & interviewed for the vacancy at Charlton, that Dowie would then be given an opportunity to impress those at Deepdale & convince them he was the man to succeed Davies at Preston.
If appointed Dowie would have therefore successfully achieved his ‘apparent desire’ to return to the North-West, by enabling him to both work & live in close proximity to his family. Bingo!
As it tuned out Davies was so unimpressed with Murray & the Charlton set up that he turned down their offer and went to Derby County, which says it all! So what was it that attracted Dowie to the Charlton post?
I am still at a loss. Surely it wasn’t the resplendent trophy cabinet, or did Murray pull out all the stops & offer him a sparkling new caravan & a pitch on Woolwich Common.
Serving him a writ on the day of his unveiling at the press conference was a masterstroke. Not in terms of a publicity stunt, but in showing the footballing nation of this country that it should be possible to reach an amicable settlement providing both parties are honest in their intentions.
Dowie obviously reneged on your agreement.
I agree with you, I don’t care if it had been Charlton, Millwall or Brighton he went to. It’s the principle & he has disrespected the fans of the club as well as yourself.
I have spoken to some close friends who are Palace supporters & they are fully behind you.
Dowie failed to get us promoted. That was his primary job & it proved futile.
Our fate was ultimately sealed in forty-five second-half minutes of madness at Selhurst Park in the play-off semi-final first leg, as we witnessed the Club lose out on a financial windfall at the expense of a talented, but pretty ordinary ‘London’ club. A club we had beaten twice in the regular season.
As fans we all felt the team played pretty ‘mediocre’ football for much of the season & were tactically inept, particularly in games when we were up against it. I personally hope the new manager, whoever it may be is more tactically astute.
When Steve Bruce decided he ‘fancied’ a change, not long after being installed as Palace boss in 2001 you played another trump card & subsequently put him on ‘gardening leave.’
If only more Chairmen would not be intimidated by ‘bully boy’ managers & make them honour their lucrative contracts, or pay the price.
Mr Dowie could have found himself in a not too dissimilar position if he had not misled all and sundry regarding his intentions.
I look forward to greeting Mr. Bruce with jeers of derision both at Selhurst & St. Andrews this season.
I have to whole heartily agree with you on your stance regarding the behaviour of Players’s Agents.
They are simply ‘advisors’ & advise they indeed do, but in many cases pretty badly. They prey on naive young professionals, extorting outrageous sums of money, they describe as ‘fees’ for doing quite often very little, in an effort to further line their already opulent pockets.
Surely parents, fellow professionals, managers & chairman alike can see this!
Greed is their food of love. It’s a set menu.
In a previous life they were probably all failed insurance salesman, who drove bottom of the range company 4 door saloons, with their fibre mix jackets hanging up in the back whilst listening to dolphin music.
Their idea of an evening out was meeting up in a once fashionable now re-furbished wine bar & drinking non-vintage champagne straight from the neck of the bottle.
I digress, & bad taste is not an excuse to abuse, just one to avoid. However this does not change the fact that morally they are evil self centred individuals, whatever their taste!
Hindsight is a marvellous thing & I could say to you that the Tim Cahill transfer fiasco may have cost us dearly on the field in terms of midfield creativity & goals, but off of it somebody needs to make a stand & these parasites must be shown the error of their ways.
How do they sleep at night……..probably on their own!
Mr Jordan, may I say as a loyal fan, that as a Chairman you are a credit to Crystal Palace Football Club, & a breath of fresh air to the football fraternity.
Good luck for the forthcoming season.
Yours sincerely,
Mark L.A Ross.

You were spot on when you dismissed a previous attempt by Everton to secure AJ’s services, when you were quoted as saying that their offer of £6million was, ‘Not enough to buy his trainers.’ And so it proved.
I wish Andrew the best of luck at Everton FC & I hope some of the money from his transfer can be used to strengthen the team & backroom staff this summer, in pursuit of promotion next season.
All in all as disappointed, as I was to see him depart it was a terrific bit of business for a player that cost £750,000 back in 2002!
Moving on, what is Mr. Iain Dowie trying to do except embarrass the Club by moving to The Valley in such a fashion. I myself wrongly assumed that when Billy Davies was linked & interviewed for the vacancy at Charlton, that Dowie would then be given an opportunity to impress those at Deepdale & convince them he was the man to succeed Davies at Preston.
If appointed Dowie would have therefore successfully achieved his ‘apparent desire’ to return to the North-West, by enabling him to both work & live in close proximity to his family. Bingo!
As it tuned out Davies was so unimpressed with Murray & the Charlton set up that he turned down their offer and went to Derby County, which says it all! So what was it that attracted Dowie to the Charlton post?
I am still at a loss. Surely it wasn’t the resplendent trophy cabinet, or did Murray pull out all the stops & offer him a sparkling new caravan & a pitch on Woolwich Common.
Serving him a writ on the day of his unveiling at the press conference was a masterstroke. Not in terms of a publicity stunt, but in showing the footballing nation of this country that it should be possible to reach an amicable settlement providing both parties are honest in their intentions.
Dowie obviously reneged on your agreement.
I agree with you, I don’t care if it had been Charlton, Millwall or Brighton he went to. It’s the principle & he has disrespected the fans of the club as well as yourself.
I have spoken to some close friends who are Palace supporters & they are fully behind you.
Dowie failed to get us promoted. That was his primary job & it proved futile.
Our fate was ultimately sealed in forty-five second-half minutes of madness at Selhurst Park in the play-off semi-final first leg, as we witnessed the Club lose out on a financial windfall at the expense of a talented, but pretty ordinary ‘London’ club. A club we had beaten twice in the regular season.
As fans we all felt the team played pretty ‘mediocre’ football for much of the season & were tactically inept, particularly in games when we were up against it. I personally hope the new manager, whoever it may be is more tactically astute.
When Steve Bruce decided he ‘fancied’ a change, not long after being installed as Palace boss in 2001 you played another trump card & subsequently put him on ‘gardening leave.’
If only more Chairmen would not be intimidated by ‘bully boy’ managers & make them honour their lucrative contracts, or pay the price.
Mr Dowie could have found himself in a not too dissimilar position if he had not misled all and sundry regarding his intentions.
I look forward to greeting Mr. Bruce with jeers of derision both at Selhurst & St. Andrews this season.
I have to whole heartily agree with you on your stance regarding the behaviour of Players’s Agents.
They are simply ‘advisors’ & advise they indeed do, but in many cases pretty badly. They prey on naive young professionals, extorting outrageous sums of money, they describe as ‘fees’ for doing quite often very little, in an effort to further line their already opulent pockets.
Surely parents, fellow professionals, managers & chairman alike can see this!
Greed is their food of love. It’s a set menu.
In a previous life they were probably all failed insurance salesman, who drove bottom of the range company 4 door saloons, with their fibre mix jackets hanging up in the back whilst listening to dolphin music.
Their idea of an evening out was meeting up in a once fashionable now re-furbished wine bar & drinking non-vintage champagne straight from the neck of the bottle.
I digress, & bad taste is not an excuse to abuse, just one to avoid. However this does not change the fact that morally they are evil self centred individuals, whatever their taste!
Hindsight is a marvellous thing & I could say to you that the Tim Cahill transfer fiasco may have cost us dearly on the field in terms of midfield creativity & goals, but off of it somebody needs to make a stand & these parasites must be shown the error of their ways.
How do they sleep at night……..probably on their own!
Mr Jordan, may I say as a loyal fan, that as a Chairman you are a credit to Crystal Palace Football Club, & a breath of fresh air to the football fraternity.
Good luck for the forthcoming season.
Yours sincerely,
Mark L.A Ross.

Las 10 claves del River-Boca
1) Cuando terminó el primer tiempo como era empate Boca se puso a festejar. Me contó el utilero que en el entretiempo le entregaron una copa al Guille(?) en el vestuario y se pusieron a dar la vuelta alrededor de las duchas.
2) Con Basile por lo menos se colgaban del travesaño (no de Gago no) y festejaban el empate.
3) A Palermo se le salieron los clavos de la gamba y no pudo seguir...
4) El travesti brasilero que tienen jugando de 5 estaba indispuesto.
5) Si entraba el Chelo(?) la cosa cambiaba(?)
6) Si entraba el Guille(?) la cosa cambiaba(?)
7) El torneo local no importa, la posta es la Sudamericana(?)
8) Lavolpe todavía cree que Quico y el Chavo no puden jugar juntos...
9) La costumbre de comprar jugadores que son figuras contra River: Charles y cía. esta vez no dió resultado con Bobodilla. Igual Macri ya pidió condiciones por Rubén Ramirez y el Negrito Arriola.
10) River jugó con el amuleto:
