World In Non Emotion

Date: 7th June 2010 at 8:31 pm | Filed under: Celtic,World Cup 2010 | Author: Escapini | Tags: , , , , , , ,

This feeling is not a new feeling. I have accepted that Scotland will never qualify for a major competition again. We are in some sort of football limbo or purgatory and until they devise some other, heartbreaking and unbelievable, way of not qualifying from the group stage then we will remain there.

I picture us qualifying and then in the last group game having to beat Papa New Guinea …

Toying With The Tims

There simply aren’t enough vitriolic disparagements in the English dictionary to articulate the venom and hostility aimed at Sol Campbell from White Hart Lane. We could be here all day discussing the caustic criticisms and scathing attacks of vengeful and deceived Spurs supporters.

In short, Campbell’s name has become the synonym of Judas at Tottenham – an insult, literally, of biblical proportions.

He’s dealt with the ferocity quite admirably, some would say. So …

Flying Scotsman Looking To Land @Birmingham Airport

The Birmingham manager, Alex McLeish, loaded with a rumoured £40 million transfer war chest, looks set to be one of the busier managers in the summer transfer window.

Having already snapped up Ben Foster from Manchester United and Nikola Zigic from Valencia, McLeish seems determined to land his targets early to avoid missing out. After enjoying such a successful season last term, McLeish will be eager to avoid any ‘second season syndrome’, …

He’s A Killer …Keane

Gunpowder, gelatine , dynamite with a laser beam, guaranteed to …do a silly, faultering run up when taking a penalty.

Two against Algeria then. More weight to the sometime Celtic superhero’s ‘looking forward to playing Champions League football’ plans.  Uh oh.

Can anyone shed any light on this wrist kissing thing? I noticed he was doing it when playing for Celtic. Is it a tattoo of Kenny Dalglish?

Sol’s Replacements Begin To Circle…

The fact that Sol Campbell was able to manufacture a way of worming back into the Arsenal squad last season after terminating his contract with League Two outfit Notts County speaks volumes about the state of the London club’s current lack of quality defenders.

If Arsenal’s defence was a leaky dam last season, Sol Campbell’s arrival was greeted with all the uneasy embarrassment, fear and collective head-shaking near-by town folk would commit …

The conference is being organised on the back of a growing political consensus about the potential for football fans to buy out their clubs by setting up co-operatives, similar to those that already own and run clubs like …
