World Cup 2010: Why does everyone love Brazil?
1st July 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
It happens in every World Cup and it’s happening now. The pundits are going into raptures about Brazil. With England booted out of the competition by Germany the papers are running stories about which team England fans should now support (not too many mentions for the Germans) and, as usual, everyone loves Brazil.
Why? Are we supposed to fall in love with them just because they all supposedly once kicked a... -
World Cup 2010: The Next England Manager?
1st July 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
As the country recovers from World Cup elimination, Sepp Blatter decides that goal line technology might be a good idea after all (it wouldn’t by the way!), Ronaldo shows (or rather doesn’t) why he’s as overrated as Rooney and the bigger sides in the competition go on to the Quarter Final stage the papers begin to speculate on who should be the next England manager.
This is assuming that Capello gets... -
World Cup 2010: Goodbye and Good Riddance to England’s World Cup hope
28th June 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
So, the dream is over at last. England’s World Cup aspirations are left in tatters yet again and millions of England flags all across a sad and deluded country are discarded.
Those who normally don’t even care about football are free to return to their normal pastimes (or leave their flags flying and transfer their allegiance to cricket or, however fleetingly, to tennis). Many shops (most conspicuously Tesco who had been... -
World Cup 2010: Sack the manager (and everyone else)
28th June 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
In one of the papers today, trying to describe his feelings about England’s demolition by Germany yesterday, Joe Cole said that England might not be World Class anymore. The hilarious implication being that they actually were at one time.
Every branch of the media yesterday and today (and for a good few days or weeks to come) was searching for reasons why England went out of the World Cup to Germany. ... -
World Cup 2010: Everyone’s an expert
25th June 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
Half way through the World Cup and heading into the knockout stages now and the country is gripped by fear, anticipation, anger and dismay in various measures. The game against Germany this coming Sunday afternoon has seen, if it’s possible, an increase in the number and size of England flags festooning everything from cars and houses to dogs and shop fronts. I’m a bit reluctant to stand still for too...

England Vs Germany: Here We Go Again
25th June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
So, after all the nail chewing and teeth gnashing of qualification, England will once again face Germany in a World Cup.
Police in South Africa are already gearing up for what is seen as a potentially “difficult” clash as far as safety and the threat of hooliganism are concerned. It might be an idea if the Police in this country did the same thing. To say these two have previous is... -
D-DAY FOR ENGLAND (again…)
22nd June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Millions of people across the country will be deciding even now whether or not to call in sick tomorrow so they can watch England’s match against Slovenia tomorrow afternoon.
The three o’clock kick off is England’s first of the tournament (and could also be the last if they’re not careful) and may well cause mass absenteeism in shops, factories and offices everywhere tomorrow afternoon as supporters, fans and particularly the people... -
France Vs South Africa: Will we say au revoir?
22nd June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Any England fans despairing of their team’s pathetic display in South Africa should perhaps be thankful that they’re not French. The troubles in the French World Cup camp make England’s little problems look comforting by comparison.
They went into the competition in virtual disarray. There were rumours of some players not passing to others because they didn’t like them, the coach, Raymond Domenech had no authority over his squad... -
Excuse me: Vuvuzelas are too loud, the Jubulani is too light…
18th June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
The ball is too round. The altitude doesn’t help. The players don’t know who’s playing until an hour before kick-off. The vuvuzelas are too loud. There are key players missing.
Is there an excuse that hasn’t been used to explain why England have gone from being one of the favourites to win the World Cup to a bunch of also-rans in the minds of England supporters and the English media in... -
ITV or not ITV, that is the question
16th June 2010 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
The World Cup is well underway but as yet the early stages of the competition aren’t revealing much as yet. On one side we have dependability provided by four or five seasoned campaigners and, just for good measure, a touch of smugness provided by the spearhead. While in competition we are presented with stoicism but a growing sense of desperation. I’m speaking not of the teams that are facing each...

Warhol's Cat
Warhol's Cat will hunt down the egos of the famous, the wannabes and the publicity seeking like a hyena chasing a wounded buffalo. Warhol's Cat will tear celebrity culture apart and spread it all over the walls. Where the media fawn over them, Warhol's Cat will expose them for what they really are. Demons set loose to lower the standards and drag the world down into mediocrity. For too long these fevered egos have been spreading their poison and it is time for someone to make them pay. No longer will those who call themselves celebrities be able to rest easy in their beds. Warhol's Cat has their scent and will not stop until they are defeated, humiliated or driven to seek legal advice. All those with so little talent and so much money on both sides of the Atlantic should beware because Warhol's Cat is loose and it's hungry. Look upon me and tremble.
