The Future of Football

I came across this video today and decided that it is without doubt the future of football. I might start a Government petition to get it included in the Olympic Games too. Even if you don’t like football and think it’s a bunch of overpaid sissies running after a bag of air, you’ll want to watch football if it was played like this. Dubbed boblefotball, it was invented by those crazy…Norwegians. Now every player can bounce and roll around like Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo whenever another player comes near them. Actually, thinking about it, we should wrap the original man of glass, Michael Owen, up in one of these the next time he steps out in a United shirt.

You’re No Christiano Ronaldo!

Any self respecting football fan will have seen Christiano Ronaldo’s penalty technique with the trademark stutter half way in to the run up. Well, Amir Sayoud, who plays in the Egyptian league tried to emulate Ronaldo’s party piece and it very almost worked. Except he fell over. And then saw his penalty saved. And then got booked for being stupid. Even my good friend Jeff doesn’t manage to fluff his spot kicks this badly!

Some are branding it as the worst penalty kick ever but I still think Peter Devine’s attempt remains the worst penalty ever.

My 2011/12 Premier League Predictions

I’m going to put my neck out on the line and give some Premier League predictions. No doubt they’ll be totally wrong and in 9 months we can all have a good laugh how naive I was. Anyway, here we go, my predictions:

Top 5

1. Manchester United (Champions)
2. Manchester City
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool
5. Arsenal

Relegated

1. Blackburn Rovers
2. Swansea City
3. Norwich City

What do you think? Am I well off the mark or on to something here? What are your predictions for this season.
