Soccer Special
Yep, "football" season has STARTED. It is fabulous.
To celebrate NOW TV in Hong Kong getting rights to the Premiership off the completely useless for everything else Cable TV, I have signed up to the mega-deal with ALL the matches. For you this will mean it is quite likely I will dribble on for the next 9 months about the Premiership. For me it will mean I no longer have to go out on a Saturday and Sunday night to a stinky pub to watch the soccer. By the end of next week, even with the excessive fee JUST for the soccer channels, I estimate staying out of the pub would have already saved me money for the 18 months subscription I signed on, drycleaning/bail fees included from all the beer swilling and spilling horrible pasty Poms and their dumb arse Filipino tag-along girlfriends who chuck red wine over you when they jump up and down screaming for Ronaldo when Liverpool are playing Spurs....
So here are my first lot of questions after week one:
10. Isn't the MLS lucky that they pre-sold all the tickets to Beckham's games?
9. Where's Michael Owen? And why have we been asking that question for a year?
8. Greatest comeback ever, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink(hoff), if he can make it out of the Chelsea reserves?
7. Aren't Manchester United the most brilliant passing team not to score a goal, in the league already?
6. When will Arsene Wenger stop mollycoddling Theo Walcott and let us see him really play?
5. Can Nike design Wayne Rooney some bloody boots that support his foot from being broken?
4. Hate Chelsea but love watching Drogba the same way you hated Arsenal but loved watching Thierry Henry?
3. New Zealander, Ryan Nelsen is actually captaining Blackburn Rovers, hear the noise? Didn't think so.
2. Thaksin Shinawatra owns Manchester City, yet can't buy toilet paper in Thailand?
1. What's so great about Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard? Really?

I think you forgot a question: Isn't Liverpool the best team in the league?
The answer to that is a great big yes. There performance against that feisty Aston Villa team was awesome, I'm very excited.
11. Spurs - beaten at Sunderland when they're new to the league and all hyped and that, I can kinda understand, but losing 3-1 at home to feckin EVERTON? The horror, the horror...
Ryan Nelsen. Probably one of the top 3 or 4 full backs in the EPL, watched by go knows how many gazillion a week, makes 8 mill a year....all off his own back. That is a NZ marketing success story, minus Mallard, 33 mill and tug boat race in the med for billiionaires
edsdsnqWithout Crouch, Liverpool with Torres looked good - maybe up there with MU.
Lampard was crap at the World Cup I don't care how many he blasted wide.
I'd still rather see my kid play and do the spin than watch a PL game.
Everton are kicking arse!
Fred - that's exactly the point. How many times has Murray Deaker talked about Nelsen on a shithouse saturday afternoon? None. How many times has he wanked on about the tight five of the AB's? To friggin many.
Football is the best game ever. I will watch one Rugby World Cup game this year and that will be the 1/4 final when the AB's will lose. Meanwhile the best game in the world will continue to produce dribbling from Ronaldo, the likes of which has not been seen since Garrincha or Sir Stanley Matthews. That guy is phenomenal; the way he runs at defences gives me a boner that makes the people standing in front of me at the pub move forward another 3 feet.
Meanwhile, Arsenal will struggle. Wenger will plan his departure and Emirates Stadium will get further into debt meaning a billionaire from Myanmar will come in and buy the club.
Par for the Premiership really.
Nelson was intermittently captaining Blackburn last season too.
Got to laugh at seeing Spurs 0 points from 2 games, all that cash and no return! Brilliant.
I guess you have a problem with Ronaldo out for the next 3 games too eh.
Liverpool this season might actually disappoint, look out for Newcastle and Man City.
CSKA Chelski's midfielder Malouda and Arsenal's Sagna will both prove to be the buys of the season.
Hey Gooner, what sport did you follow when George Graham was in charge? 'Cos that wasn't football, eh.
Just saying, like.
Liverpool never disappoints, they are a beautiful team filled with beautiful Spanish men.
Still in all honesty, I expect Man U to win the Prem again this season. However, I just know Liverpool will try really hard, and that makes me happy.
I hope Everton gets relegated.
Richard, I have both followed and played football since I was 8. I am now a tad under 40. You do the math.
Yes, Arsenal under George Graham were successful but they were a tad boring. They are now winning games by more than just 1-0. But my point is that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best dribbler I have seen since old footage of Garrincha and Pele. Even better than Ryan Giggs. Mind you that winning goal he scored against us in the FA Cup semi a few years ago was the best goal I have ever seen I reckon.
