So reportedly this is how the kerfuffle following the first leg of the Play-Off between France and Ireland broke out at the final whistle. Keith Andrews was about to slump to the floor in the knowledge that overturning a one goal deficit back in France is a tough thing to do. Along comes Lassana Diarra and rather than come over to offer him a handshake he reportedly said the following.
“F*** off, Irish p****. You are out.”
Charming. And if you watch the video below you can see how this may well be a fair account of what occurred. For instance note that when the Irish players take offence the French players don’t react in an angry manner as they seem to understand what is happening and just try to diffuse the situation, which is lucky as otherwise this whole thing could have gotten out of hand.
Now this is truly hilarious. It’s the latest comical creation from Studs Up and it’s a corker. It explains just how it came to pass that Frank Lampard was injured whilst away on international duty. CLICK HERE to see the very amusing sketch.
Now we are very happy to hear that Carlo Cudicini is well on the mend after his horror bike accident. To help him recover and indeed so the rest of you can have a good gander, here is a former conquest of the Tottenham keeper and I think you’ll all agree she is a very attractive woman, even when made to pose under a very large leaf (see below).
Now this will bring tears to your eyes. Watch as unintentionally the attacking player swings full force to make contact with the football only to find that the ball has in fact long gone and has been replaced by an entirely different set of objects. The pace and power with which the striker kicks the poor defender is such that the person doing the kicking is in agony also but not surely in the same league of discomfort as the recently created Eunuch!
You have to wonder why nations insist on playing friendlies slap bang in the middle of the season. Now I could understand if there was an upcoming qualifier to test players and formations ahead of, but Holland have qualified for the World Cup, in fact they qualified five months ago, so why bother with a totally meaningless game now? Arsene Wenger should sue!
