4th April 2013.

I am now the manager of Sunderland, not Sudetenland as I had thought when I signed the contract. I know I should have read it more carefully, but I blame the vulgar English corruption of Latin for my error. If that squat Austrian hick had granted us the control we merited, the problem would have been solved in 1945, if not sooner. The whole world would now be fluent Latin speakers, with Rome as its capital.

The club have accommodated me in the finest hotel in town, the Belle Vue B&B. Mrs. Spragg, my hostess, is almost as kind as my mother. She calls me “Ducky”. I am tearful with human love. The strongest warrior would not dream of correcting her pronunciation. In all my time in Swindon, I was never afforded such respect. The English have no class at all, if they think the North is inferior. I accidentally broke the light bulb over the mirror, above the washbasin next to my bed. Mrs. Spragg was more concerned about my own welfare than the cost of the repairs. I must remember to stand one full pace further back, when saluting myself before bedtime.

At my workplace, there was a communist on the board of directors, the progeny of a failed cloning programme. He was stood down before I arrived, making his own feeble excuses for leaving, no doubt under instruction. These are my sort of people. There remains a banner, erected by a collective of subversive discarded coal foragers. I will arrange the ceremonial burning of this low item myself. In Italy, we mine the finest marble in the world, suitable for the decoration of the palaces of kings. If all these people can dig up is coal, then incineration is the only noble fate for their sorry bauble.

Things are looking up on the culinary front, too. Initially, I was dismayed that the shop on the corner of the street did not have any prosciutto. However, the shopkeeper told me that there is a big market in Newcastle, where you can get it for the price of a bag of chips. You can even choose which part of the pig you want. At last, I am coming to terms with the language barrier.

Chelsea v City

Painful though it is that we're no longer part of this competition, is anyone here watching this? It's a cracking game of football.

These are my predictions for the national.....

sambo applecart — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 08:41:58 +0100

On his own - to fall first circuit (fell)

Imperial Commander - will pull up. (didnt complete)

Sea Bass - will go close, but i backed it at 28/1 last year and have no interest at 10's...(terrible price)

Chicago Grey - i fully expect it to fall (didnt complete)

Always Waining - to jump round and maybe finish in the top 7 (got this wrong)

Join Together - to finish in the first 4 (got this wrong)

Colbert station - if jumps round will place but i have a feeling it wont complete (got this right)

Tea for Three - to be unplaced, might finish in the first ten. (got this wrong)

Ballabriggs - has no chance imo (got this right)

i think numbers 8,11, 17 and 12 will go close. ones that i see placing and not winning are 6 and 18

Congrats to Villa on winning this year... I saw them against Celtic at Villa and they didn't look too good... shows what I know...

I know someone on here asked why we didn't take part... Apparently Moyes didn't think we had strength in depth enough to take part... But he has said we will take part next year... which will be great...

Teams like Ajax, Juventus, PSG, Barca and Inter taking part... It will be a really good opportunity for our lads to develop... and for fans to see some stars of the future...

Fivefolds...

OldGoldenVision — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:29:49 +0100

Say I selected 10 horses and the bookies offered me fivefolds... would that mean I had a number of different accas with five horses in each acca.... so essentially I'd have every combination of five horses from the 10?

How are Milner and Welbeck professional footballers?

BLUES vs. Man City

MJ Benna — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 20:30:52 +0000

Wife and I made it out to the City match last week from the Washington DC area and we had a blast! The fans were great and the Victory was even better. I couldn't ask for a better way to enjoy our first match. Thank you fans and players for making our first experience memorable!! We'll be back soon.

This is how much Queen Kenneth loves his club...

Cheltenham Festival

Anyone got any early fancies for Cheltenham next week?? I've done a few anteposts but can imagine half of them will be NR's :-/

What's the NAP of the week???

Bayern Munich season ticket cost £104 when Arsenal charge £126 for a game

Knoxy2001e — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 10:51:13 +0000

what can we learn from the way the germans finance their teams?

'German fans also get free rail travel to matches with their tickets. And under the 50 per cent+1 rule, the fans are guaranteed majority ownership of their clubs.

Bayern, who have been in two of the last three Champions League Finals, are 82 per cent owned by their members. The other 18 per cent belongs to sponsors Adidas and Audi. Daniela Wurbs, chief executive and co-ordinator of Football Supporters Europe, appreciates why Premier League fans in England are envious of how football is run in the Bundesliga.

Daniela, a fan of St. Pauli, said: “Bayern Munich’s policies in relation to affordable prices, standing areas and the supporters’ involvement in the club have attracted much interest and favourable comment from English fans in our membership.'
