Wayne Rooney May Be Single Soon Girls, Start Queueing

Oh dear, Wayne Rooney has done it again but sadly this time he's placed it in the wrong goal by tapping Jennifer Thompson aka Jenni "one too many"!

It is well documented that the soon to be master rooney has been through a not so selective few in the last couple of years despite his "puppy love" romance culminating in marriage and a kai kid with coleen, (one of liverpool's finest exports since the industrial revolution) and the current allegations will no doubt fail to shock many bar the extenuating circumstance being coleen's pregnancy.

This saga has been ongoing for some time and it is believed to have caused the sudden dip in performance from the england international.

So Wayne once again joins the list of top England footballers who at some point in their England careers are obliged to indulge in spit roasting, granny caressing, brothel frequenting just to keep the ethos alive.
Like Plato once said "one man cannot practice many arts with success" so perhaps once he loses most of his sponsorship deals, he will begin to appreciate the so called beautiful game a bit more.

My mole informs me Wayne sought an injunction like John Terry's, errr bad move for him and the other 2 footballers who are clearly not as important thus the press decision to target rooney first just to make the others worry a bit more. All eyes will be on underperforming "top" players now!

At least we now know the real Rooney won't be back till at least christmas, when coleen will then have to whisk father and son away on a make or break John Terryesque "holiday" in sunny climes.

The winner amidst this nonsense has to be PAY AS YOU GO sim cards, which have resurfaced as the chosen option by both parties, and was influential in bringing another rat ashley cole to book. Also would it not be fascinating to discover that all these England naughty boys are using the sim cards from one particular network provider :)

It seems all we now need is either Fabio Capello or David Beckham to get caught shacked up in their local brothels with a couple of "Auld slappers" for us to be shocked.

ANYWAY for those of you who were unlucky not to have sat through the court proceedings for the John Terry case, this is it. ENJOY!!!

Nun On The Run

According to the Dutch newspaper de telegraaf (http://www.telegraaf.nl) Danish police are hunting a dutch nun believed to have abused nuns at a convent in North east Denmark.
Mother Theresa Brenninkmeijer was alleged to have been involved in the death of one of the sisters at the convent and she is now on the run. The incident involved her locking Mother Theresa out in the cold without adequate clothing because she "disturbed a mass"

The death occurred in 1993 and under Danish law it doesn't warrant a murder charge due to the length of time it's taken but the Danish authorities are calling for the Catholic church to respond as they had been warned about this particular nun and they failed to act.

Mother Theresa is still at large it is believed.

Fab choice or not?

Fabregas will be stupid leaving Arsenal for barcelona at this stage of his career, he is developing as a fantastic player for Arsene Wenger and arsenal but at 23 he cannot justify the decision to head out there to replace any of the mighty 3; iniesta, xavi and messi. They all have about 5 years of top level performances in them and to think he can waltz in there and take their places is unthinkable. He is an exceptional player but sadly if he left he would have to get used to starting from the bench as the above mentioned individuals are cult figures who can automatically justify their names on the starting lineup.

Finances will also come into play; Barcelona have just spent spend 35 million on David Villa with the spanish international asking for wages around Ibrahimovic's 180,000 a week, Fabregas's arrival for 40million which is what Arsenal are likely to quote will mean Barcelona are going well beyond their means considering the very recent rule change that now means Barca and real included, will have to fairly share the 663 million euros the league generates from broadcasters. According to figures released by Bloomberg "Real and Barca get more than half of the 520 million euros a year" of that figure leaving the rest of the league relying on other ways of generating revenue therefore they definitely need to get rid of players and so far Thierry Henry is the only significant one making an exit.

Barcelona have way too many players on ridiculous wages and it seems in order for the fab switch to be materialise, they will have to offload some players with Bojan and Toure being used as bait and recently Ibrahimovic, Marquez and rumours suggesting Sergio busquets. Barcelona are clearly taking the "busquet" by thinking they can offer such ordinary players to us and expect that lo and behold fabregas will be delivered to them no qualms. Wenger and his cronies are more than likely to hold out for the 40million which will really test how much barca want to break the bank and how much they really want him. Joan Laporta, the president, wants to leave Barcelona a present prior to his departure but perhaps he's going a bit over the top by offering them 2 very expensive presents he posibly couldn't afford.

Well if Fabregas is comfortable with starting from the bench on a regular basis and feels he is more likely to win more trophies elsewhere then perhaps he should be allowed to leave but he should look back at the season past and realise that Arsenal made huge progress and to leave a business bound for greater things to an already established one may be an exciting prospect but for how long. Would he not have liked to have said "yes i was part of this team for 10 years and we finally stayed together and won it", is that not what a team is about, teams i'm led to believe stick together and with time learn each other's strengths and weaknesses, bad and good sides and always improve but perhaps the idea of a brief fling or a one night stand with barcelona appeals to Fabregas more than a long lasting relationship with Arsenal.

Dizzee Rascal Goes Disco

Dizzee Rascal seems to have now covered all the genres bar classical now with his new DIRTEE DISCO track released on the 24th May.

A few of his dedicated underground supporters will undoubtedly slate him for releasing this track but in business it is about making money and meeting demand so if the public wants to disco then the public should get disco.

The video includes him explaining the idea behind it.

Sex In Class?

It seems the Americans have once again stepped it up in the "OMG" stakes. We know of firearms problems, fights and other troubles in classrooms across the states but to perform oral sex in a lesson with the teacher present is perhaps another level.
The case in question regards 2 students at Haydock Junior high school in Oxnard and was initially brushed aside as "bullying" but after the student who filmed it came forward, the school has had to come clean.

Adam Boulton versus Labour, Labour win again!

It seems these two can't stand each other at all or in Alastair's case he knows how to piss off Adam Boulton every single time if you watch the past battles;

This is surely the knockout blow by Alastair or is there more to come from the Burnley Bomber? Is Adam Boulton trying to be a slow, masculine version of kay burley?

PAST BATTLES

Skepta is A Bad Boy

Like the Guiness advert suggested, "good things come to those who wait", they did also say "drink responsibly" and which is what London Grime MC Skepta will probably NOT be doing in the next coming weeks if the buzz on his twitter page is anything to go by http://www.twitter.com/skepta

"Thanks for all the Congrats and to ALL of you that recommended me to @iamdiddy words can't describe how much I appreciate the Support. Love
about 2 hours ago via Echofon"

This all began when one of the kings of hip hop, P Diddy http://twitter.com/iamdiddy requested a UK remix of his upcoming track "hello goonmornin" to which several of Skepta's fans flooded the King's page with suggestions that he was made to do it and lo and behold the King said yes.

"Hey london I want to do a grime re mix of hello goonmornin! Who should do it?"

"@Skepta the people said we should talk. Dm me a contact! Let's gooooooo!!!
about 3 hours ago via UberTwitter in reply to Skepta"

We should wish Skepta the best of luck working with Diddy as he does deserve it and fingers crossed he goes on to bigger things. Always a delight to see credit given where due and success rewarded deservedly.

Barcelona versus Arsenal round 2

So i decided to check out arsenal regarding their visit to the nou camp on tuesday where they shall attempt to do what very few teams have managed; beat barcelona on their own ground or score 3 with the hope that they just fall short of that or match that figure.
Rubin Kazan the Russian champions, were the last european side to steal a valuable champions league win at the ground despite Barcelona's 65 percent possession and countless attacking exploits. Looking back at that game, the Russians had a mere 3 shots on target and yet came away having put 2 of them in the barca net and arsenal perhaps can seek solace in that.

With Ibrahimovic out and crosses from alves not posing much threat for arsenal at the emirates, it will be even more important for whoever starts on the wings for the gunners to supply excellent crosses for bendtner for him to test the makeshift central defenders.
Arsenal will have to do what they have failed to most of this season; take their chances! Many of the games the gunners have lost points in stem from the fact that after creating a considerable amount of opportunities, they always fail to take them and get duly punished for them eventually and the weekend home game against wolves was another example.

Barcelona will have the ball for most parts of the match but arsenal will have to use it effectively when it is in their possession so threading the perfect ball to theo or encouraging him to switch flanks throughout the game may be a good idea as barca dislike his pace.

Wenger rested several key players for the barca tie and as they haven't got a game till spurs the wednesday after next, it seems Wenger is bracing himself for a bruising battle. Arsenal can't possibly play as badly as they did against them a couple of days ago and barca surely can't play that amazing again?! Like Guardiola said, the first half was the best football he's ever seen them play and most neutrals agree that was possibly the most nervous performance from arsenal in a while suggesting that this is shaping up to be even more exciting than the first leg itself.

Arsenal need to take their chances, Barcelona need to stop themselves from "overplaying" and overconfidence and if most people, including the betting companies offering 7-1 on arsenal winning think it's a forgone conclusion, all i can say is we've been in worse situations and the video below will remind them!

Erykah Badu Strips For The Press

As the saying goes; any press is good press so Erykah Badu being fined $500 for stripping off for her new video WINDOW SEAT and wandering through the streets naked ending in a brief part re-enactment of the JFK assassination could be considered as an addition to her PR budget for that particular video and song.
Shame it takes the gloss away from the lovely song.

Sales Of A Different Sort

American Apparel, the "cool" youth brand that revolutionalised leggins, hot pants and size zero decided to hold one of their famed sales in the youth infested brick lane on friday 2nd april. Sadly only 30 or so out of the 20 thousand plus attending the event made it in before the police had to shut down the event - http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=374872184661&ref=ts

The footage below shows why perhaps it was the right decision to shut it down.

Some rather amusing comments from parties affected include "he's going to jail, he's got a gun" and "the American apparel riot scenes are ridiculous, i could understand if it was somewhere like NEXT or BURTON"!!

Cue the NEXT summer sale!

Michelangelo's IL SIGNO at the courtauld

While others spent their april fool's day playing tricks on friends and relation, i decided to head to the Michelangelo "THE DREAM" exhibition at the courtauld gallery, as this masterpiece "IL SIGNO" had been hailed as "one of the finest of all renaissance drawings".
"The Dream" was very "realistic" and exciting and like many positive and entertaining dreams one has, was over within a few minutes despite all the excitement. A collection of some of the fantastic works by the master and despite the rather drab room in which they were exhibited, managed to enthrall visitors.

Kudos to the Courtauld for securing some absolutely fantastic works like the "FALL OF PHAETON" from the royal collection which like the exhibition masterpiece, a real gem and the six nudes by albrecht durer which is at the stadel museum in frankfurt.

The exhibition should be on your list of things to do as it will be a while till we see all these works out again.
