Another Comic Display from England


Last night Comic Relief were able to raise £57,809,938 and the England team were able to do their own little bit for the charity. Along with help from Gavin and Stacey's James Corden aka Smithy a comedy sketch was made to help those less fortunate in the United Kingdom and Africa.

Here's a link to the sketch. Enjoy and please there is still time to do your bit.

League of Injustice

I was never a fan of Jeff Winter during his refereeing career due to his allegiances to Middlesbrough a local rival of my club. However since this retirement and listening to him in the media there is a lot of truth in his words.

The League of Injustice is a creation of Jeff Winter's that my interest most average football fans. The league takes into consideration every incorrect decision a referee makes that has a direct effect on the result and makes it right.

At the top of table things stay the same as they are in the real Premier League. However it is in the relegation fight where the incorrect decisions are taking their toll.
Any football fan who feels his team is dealt injustice on a weekly basis should have a look at this table to see how things could have been.

Wenger on the Defensive

Arsene Wenger looked for once out of excuses as Arsenal was out battled to their fourth successive 0-0 draw. Despite a gain in profit over the financial year the possibility of no Champions League football next season could be a blow to big for Arsene Wenger and his philosophy at Arsenal.


The worst run Arsenal have seen for 15 years has Wenger "concerned" and it is his teams inability to score goals that has left him bemused. One goal in the last five games is not good enough for a team battling with relegation never mind a team with ambitions of a Champion League place.

The opposition and a negative 10 men behind the ball style of play they bring to the Emirates Stadium has often been Wenger's defence against their poor results. By blaming the opposition for being what Wenger terms as "anti-football" he deflects examination of his teams own tactical capabilities.

Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia was on the receiving end of Wenger's frustrations last weekend stating his team should have gone to the Emirates and "played football". Would Wenger have been so concerned with Sunderland playing football if Arsenal had won the game?

Manchester United has won nine of their 19 league victories this season by a goal to nil and is placed comfortably seven points clear at the top. The belief and the consistency of Manchester United is the missing component of this Arsenal side who fail to break down the strong defensive teams of the Premier League.
