The Soccer Thread (IV)

I show up in the YouTube trailer for another soccer documentary, Gringos at the Gate. I'm shown at Claddagh Irish Pub in Columbus, semi-drunkenly singing the somebody stole my sombrero song ahead of the US-Mexico qualifier. I think my cousin might have been interviewed for it.

 

Yeah. You see, we're trying to break Landon Donovan in all our Premier League matches from now on.

I'll make sure you get another copy of that memo.

 

I wasn't aware of the term "text sex" before this, but... Ashley Cole sends nude pics of himself (sans coffee mug) to topless model.

With all the free time he has now with the broken ankle, I see he plans to put it to good use!

I just love this part...

Right. But this was printed in The Sun, so what is their excuse?

 

You've never heard of sexting? I'll go ahead and show myself off your lawn, old man.

 

How did they know the model was topless at the time she received the text?

 

You young whipper snappers and your texting of sex all over the place! Is no technology safe from women flopping their boobs on it?!?!

I hadn't really heard the term before. I knew of the concept but it seems to be hard to do outside of sending raunchy pics. You can't exactly do like an online chat given that it isn't quick enough to send and receive.

 

I was there. They weren't real, but they were spectacular!

 

This movie looks much more appealing than the other one.

 

Beckham didn't seem like his normal self this afternoon, very poor performance after coming on as a sub for Milan against Udinese, constantly giving away possession.

Italian forward Di Natale was dynamite for Udinese, he might be worth putting a few bucks on to win the Golden Boot this summer, great skill, speed.

 

Southampton-Portsmouth in just a few short hours. I can accept most anything, but I will not accept defeat to the scum. Although if I can get a ticket to a possible replay ...

 

Sven spills his guts on Notts County, North Korea and more to the Grauniad:

Hmm. If you plunked down someone who know nothing of either club and asked which was the Premiership outfit and which the League One side, I don't think that unknowing neutral would go with the current arrangement. Discouraging, to say the least.
