What's Wrong With Football

Why Chelsea fans can't make fun of us for having the boy Cristiano

"
Didier Drogba has been charged with violent conduct by the FA for throwing a coin back into the crowd during Chelsea's--"

Let's just stop right there. No need to go any further. Does no one else see what's wrong with the above statement? It's a coin. I know Drogba has a helluva lot of power in those legs of his, sort a prerequisite for his job, but unless he has some sort of superhuman strength in his arms that flinging a coin into the crowd would cause any injury, let alone serious injury, to a fan I don't see how this is a legitimate issue. It shouldn't have even been addressed by the FA let alone actually brought to a decision.

I'm usually not one to vocalize protection for players as they essentially have the BEST LIFE EVER. Add to that that I'm actually defending a Chelsea player, I'll admit I feel a little dirty. But in this case I think the fans are getting too much leeway. How is it that Drogba gets charged but the Burnley fans don't get charged for throwing the coin in the first place? It's not like Drogba pulled a quarter, or I guess in this case a half-pence, out of his jock and threw it at the crowd. It was thrown at him in the first place and the Burnley fans should be reprimanded for their behavior. I know people always talk about giving more respect to the fans and believe me you're preaching to the choir, I'm a fan, but when it comes to abuse--be it physical or verbal--a line needs to be drawn in the sand and certain behavior needs to be flagged as unacceptable and thus properly punished.

Throwing a coin is really no different than hurling racial abuse at players. Pampered as they are they don't deserve such abuse just as fans don't deserve racial abuse or coins thrown at them. I'm not saying that Drogba shouldn't be reprimanded to some extent but I'm saying it needs to go both ways. If you're gonna charge Drogba with violent conduct then you have to charge Burnley with disorderly conduct and give them an equivalent punishment.

Ok I'm done, It's a Friday night I'm gonna get off my proverbial soapbox and get a little loose. I'm a bit buzzed as it is. Good talk.

*Addendum: This should not be misconstrued as any form of favor towards Chelsea. They're still a bunch of diving, cheating, overpaid, overrated, overly-metrosexual, overly-not fresh at all bunch of fucking amateurs that will again finish below the mighty United both in the league and in Europe.

And we'll win the Carling Cup just for kicks. Recognize.

Oh No. Oh God, No.

We elected a West Ham fan to be the next President of the United States of America? Fuck. Now I can't nearly make fun of West Ham fans as effectively as I used to. Yea we took their best players, we win titles, we don't have a nearly bankrupt Icelandic owner..blahblahblah they have the next President on their side. I voted for a West Ham fan and that will forever weigh on my conscience. At least McCain is an Arizona Cardinals fan and y'know I really respected that.

Flashback: Zizou, Boss of all Bosses

I just finished watching 2006 World Cup: The Grand Finale, an HD documentary extravaganza chronicling the 2006 World Cup from the quarterfinals through to that fateful final kick from Fabio Grosso. Point is it made me remember how absurdly genius Zinedine Zidane was throughout that tournament at the ripe old age of 34 and how unfair it is that many people only remember his headbutt on that scummy Marco Materazzi above all the other brilliant plays he made. Let's not even get into the sordid details of Materazzi's career and how really Zidane did what every single player who's ever played against Materazzi has always wanted to do but has never had the guts to do. And Zizou did it in a WORLD CUP FINAL. What a boss.

Anyway, yea, let's not get into that. The purpose of this post is help us all remember the utterly unapologetic brilliance of the Balded One. Specifically, his other take-your-breath-away moment of that game:


What? He chipped a penalty? In a World Cup Final? Wait...what? Didn't doubt his shot for a second, cool as a cucumber. You can't see me right now but trust that I'm giving this youtube video a standing ovation in the privacy of my own living room. I raise my glass of pomegranate green tea in cheers to you, Zizou. Really wish you would come play in the MLS...

Deaf Boxer Stalker: A PR Masterstroke

Forgotten pretty boy

Head over to the ladies of Kickette and invariably there will be mention of one of Los Merengues in an inappropriately lustful manner. Methinks Madrid midfielder (impressive alliteration, I know) Goldilocks Guti (good god, I can't stop) is a little miffed at being overshadowed by his teammates off as well as on the field. It's one thing when you spend years carefully sculpting your midfield maestro pretty boy image only for Real Madrid to go out and buy David Beckham and render you completely useless in the prime of your career. Or the completely incorrect jump in logic that follows such an injustice and makes you believe you missed out on being a part of the Euro 2008-winning Spanish side when in actuality you were really never gonna make the cut, Beckham or no Beckham.

But having to stomach the likes of Iker Casillas and Raul strutting about the locker room with a confidence borne of the adulation of thousands of fawning female fans (it's a gift, really); I imagine the indignity was just unbearable. So naturally he enlisted the PR talents of one Jorge Munoz, deaf boxer stalker extraordinaire
, to up his visibility enough to maybe get some well-deserved recognition for his services to club and conditioner companies.

"Munoz was eventually restrained and arrested while one of the security guards required hospital treatment - Munoz's lack of hearing obviously not impairing his ability to land a punch."

Iker Casillas, your move.

Pre-VMA/VMA Running Diary

Such a love/hate relationship with this god-forsaken yet simultaneously heaven-sent channel. Such a love relationship with writing running diaries of cultural events.

I'm still on the fence about this Sway in a chopper gimmick. On the one hand it's immensely stupid. It gives me a headache just trying to wrap my mind around the the fact that this idea was actually voiced by someone let alone looked upon as a good idea by his/her peers. But on the other hand the creepy factor of Sway hovering above celebrities like Katy Perry and calling them on the phone and telling to wave their lipstick out the sunroof is too good.

Mind-blowing fact of the night: Sway has a daughter.

Jonas Brothers are so jewish-looking.

ASHLEE SIMPSON IS SO PREGNANT.

I wish Obama would show up.

British host whose name continually evades me: "Kobe Bryant welcome to the VMAs!...(to Vanessa Bryant) hello to you as well."

Annnnd that's the pre-show.

The VMAs have started and it's too brilliant of a trainwreck for me to write on any further. God speed.

Rough Start for Manchester United




We were playing in our home ground on our first match of the season. We were up against one of the most under performing team of last season; Newcastle United. The premises were promising for a great season start up with a win, but it was not to be that way...

Instead, we were drawn for a 1-1 scoreline. Suggested that the main reason for the draw was the absence of one Carlos Tevez. Tevez has been a beast throughout the pre-season, and Frazier Campbell, tough also had shown a lot of potential during the pre-season, just can't fill into the Argentinian's role of playing and influence in the attacking department.

And not only that, we actually conceded the first goal against Newcastle. It was Obafemi Martins who drew first blood for the home team. The Nigerian, tough he had a bad season last year, proved that he can be deadly as well with his header on the 22nd minute. If there is any positive note that can be taken is our fast reaction time after the goal. Just two minutes after the goal, the Scotland international, the lanky and skinny Darren Fletcher managed to pull an equalizer.

In the second half, we had a couple of chances to win the match. One of them came from Nemanja Vidic, who unfortunately had his header denied by the goal post. The draw result made Manchester United the only club from the elite big four which failed to secure a win in the first day of the season.

After the match, Fergie admitted that Manchester United needs another forward. The absence of Tevez proved to be the significant factor of Manchester United lacks of fire power. The quest for any of Roque Santa Cruz or Berbatov's signature is the focus before the transfer window closes.

Summer Transfer & Non-Transfer News

With the start of the new season nearly upon us I've decided this is a good time to recap the transfer news of summer that is soon winding to a close.

Hmm let's start with the good news first because there's not much of it so we'll get it out of the way quickly:

Well we held on to Ronaldo which, as much as he still is a little cunt, is a good thing because he is as close to irreplaceable as you'll get in football. Still, nothing he does this season, no matter how heroic or jaw-droppingly incredible, will illicit any more than a gentle golf clap out of me. Until he fucks off to Madrid at the end o
f the season. Then I'll give him a standing ovation. Ok what else...oh right we didn't sell Frazier Campbell like we usually do with any young promising talent that tries to make it into the first team. That was a pleasant surprise. I hope he gets a chance to prove himself this season because he's definitely quality.

Ok, seriously, how am I supposed to cheer for this?

Yup. That's it. No more good news to report for the summer of wheelings and non-dealings. Now the bad news in quick bullet points because there's so much:

- Sold Gerard Pique, soon-to-be one of the top 10 defenders in the world. Haven't bought any replacements so no defensive cover to speak of. Wonderful.
- Didn't sell Mikael Silvestre as expected so technically he is our defensive cover. Even better.
- Didn't buy a long-term right-back replacement for the aging Gary Neville. Apparently Sir Alex expects Wes Brown to make another deal with the devil and have another surprisingly competent season.
- According to the latest reports today, we bought Dimi Berbatov to finally address our need for another striker. 'But why is this bad news?' I hear you inquire. Well, little ones, gather round close and let me tell you a little tale I like to call: The Extortion of Manchester United...

Once upon a time (about a month ago) Manchester United bid a reasonable 20 million pounds for the services of Dimi Berbatov. Dimi's employers, Tottenham, rejected the bid and asked for a ludicrous 38 million pounds instead. United laughed heartily at such a suggestion and began looking elsewhere. After a month or so they could not find another striker to buy and desperately bid a slightly less ludicrous but still ridiculous 28 million for Dimi. Tottenham gleefully accepted. United got fucked over. Now to put this in perspective:

- Liverpool paid 3 million less for Fernando Torres who is 4 years younger than 27 year old Berbatov and about 5 times better, give or take.
- Liverpool also paid 20 million for Berbatov's teammate, Robbie Keane, of similar age and talent.
- United paid the same amount for Rio Ferdinand but he's been the rock of our defense for the past 5 years so I'd say it's money well spent.
- United paid the same amount for WAYNE ROONEY. 20 years old at the time and ABOUT 10 TIMES BETTER THAN BERBATOV, give or take.

I'm not amused.

Cristiano "Slave" Ronaldo : "I'm Staying with Manchester United"




Finally, the long awaited confirmation from the most controversial figure in world football has been said by the man in question himself. Cristiano Ronaldo will be a part of the Manchester United's squad for the 2008/2009 season. After performing of what many consider as the finest display of football in the modern era, by scoring over 40 goals in all competition last season, Ronaldo has been the main discussion and focus of the uncertain world of football transfer saga, especially during the Euro 2008 tournament.
On that particular tournament, Ronaldo said in an interview that he wants to play for Real Madrid but it is not up to him. Madrid, not wanting to let another "merchandise seller" goes to waste, embraced Ronaldo's ambition of new challenge. They went for any means possible, including persuading Pepe, Ronaldo's team mates in the national team, and even go as far as influencing Ronaldo's closest person : his family. Not only that, they even said that they're willing to pay him a whoping 250 thousand pounds per week had he moved to Madrid, a sum that many expert said would create a lot of havoc in the professional football world, as noone has ever been paid that high before.
Ever since then, things had not going too well between Ronaldo and the Manchester United fans, who feel really dissapointed by their superstar's somewhat ignorant and arogant behaviour. Especially when Sepp Blatter said that what United to hold Ronaldo based on his contract as a "Modern Slavery", something that Blatter should've thought a thousand times before he said that a man who is paid 150 thousand pounds per week is a "slave", someting that Blatter later denied to have said after a lot of critics said that his remarks were offendable that hurts a lot of people who still live in poverty in other parts of the world, but ever since then United fans start calling Ronaldo with the nick name "Slave".
It was so much heat, that Fergie decided to have an eye to eye meeting with Ronaldo before the Manchester United African tour during the pre-season. Fergie later confirmed that both he and Ronaldo had reach an "Understanding" with each other and the Portuguese will stay with Manchester United. But a few days later, Ronaldo appeared on a TV interview and he denied that he had totally pledged his loyalty to the Red Devil and refused to confirm Fergie's statement. He said "It's normal that clubs want to sign a great player, I am a great player. Every season this kind of thing happens to me. I can be motivated where ever I play, whether in Madrid or Manchester. But the future is not certain, I can't never tell the future...".
Something that did not sit very well with the Red Devil fans... And it was all apparent in the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer testimonial match, where Old Trafford sang all the chants for every Manchester United player, except the chants for "Cristiano Ronaldo". It was clear that he had broke our heart, and it would be very difficult for him, if ever to mend it.
But at last, finally he said it himself "I am staying...". Not only that, it seems that Ronaldo has learned his lesson, not only he said that he will stay, he also apologized to the fans about his actions lately. "I never want to leave Manchester (United). Ferguson is like a second father to me, and yes we had met. He said his arguments, I said mine, but in the end we both agreed that it is best for to stay at Manchester United.".
Ferguson, on the other hand, warned him that he will not get a warm welcome at Old Trafford. But he also asked the fan to be a little "softer" towards him, because afterall, Ronaldo was the main reason we won the Double Title last season. In the end, I agree with what Ronaldo said.... Nothing is certain in football. Both Beckham and RvN had called Fergie "Their second father" before they were kicked out of the club, I do have a strong feeling that 2008/09 will be Ronaldo's last season with us. But in some strange feeling, I somehow predict that next season Ronaldo will be going to Madrid with a super trade package deal for Rafael van der Vaart. Van der Vaart used to be our main target before we signed Ronaldo, and I always like him, if I am able to see him in a Red Devil shirt, I will be very happy to have such an offensive and genius player playing for us....
But in the mean time, we have to stick with Ronaldo. And I hope he really delivers his promise to give his heart and soul for Manchester United, he knows he needs to do that to earn back the respect and love from the fans that (used to) adore him...

Ole Gunnar's Testimonial...




No words can describe what I feel when I saw Ole Gunnar waved goodbye to the fans. It gave me goosebumps, it brought tears to my eyes, yet at the same time there was a great proud feeling to have a great loyal player such as is to play in my shirt for such a long time.
You can feel that there was so much respect in the air. From his peers, the fans, Alex Ferguson and even from the opposition, genuine respect and most probably love as well.
Old Trafford, again, has to let go one of its proudest sons, but in Ole Gunnar's case it's just out of the playing pitch, since he has became the youth team squad in the striking department. It is in my best wish he will do well, and I'm sure he will do more than just making them a lethal striker, but also teach the youngsters what's the word "Loyalty, Respect and Profesionalism" is all about.
"Loyalty" means you have to stick with your club and your peers no matter what. Ole Gunnar never got involved in a physical tussle on the pitch with any opposing players, even with our fiercest rivals such as Arsenal and Liverpool. But that doesn't necessarilly means that Ole is one coward pussy that won't jump in into a fight for his team-mates (oh believe me, he would give his right leg for United if he has too...). But, Ole always involved himself in a classy, respectable manne. He went in there as the peacemaker, trying to get into anyone's head and telling them "We don't need this sh*t, let's just play football dammit...".
And if ever there were a case a United player should demand a transfer, it was Ole Gunnar who deserves to have such request. He could've scored more goals in his career, due to the fact that he would've been a starter in any other clubs. But when the opportunity arrised in 1999 when Tottenham's bid was accepted by the club, did Ole Gunnar go ? No, he didn't even have to think twice and at the end of the season he made that legendary winning goal at the ECL Final at Camp Nou.
Even after that, Ole didn't let it go over his head. He was still the humble player on the bench, analyzing the matches and ready to get it done when the manager calls upon him. That's "Respect and Professionalism". Ole respected the role that has been given to him as a "Super Sub", he also respected the manager's decision, and when he should be on to the pitch, even under one minute remaining, he'll go there and give his 100% for his peers, the club and most of all the fans.
Ole's dedication should be an inspiration for any young players these days. Let them know that there is something more in football other than "money, championships, advertiser endorsements, fancy nifty tricks, etc". There are greater values of real life in the beautiful game and that's what Ole has been showing and practicing day by day at Old Trafford, and I'm trully privileged to have seen that.
In the testimonial, Manchester United beat Espanyol 1-0 in front 68,868 Red Devils who came to pay their respect and appreciation to Ole. Fraizer Campbell got the goal for the European champions against the mid-table Spanish side.
Ole finally came on for in the final 22 minutes of his testimonial, and eventough he retired one year ago, he still looked as the best forward on the field. Ole had his first chance after a selfless assist by his old team mate Ryan Giggs, Ole's strong shot flew just wide of the left-hand post and, seconds later, Espanyol goalkeeper Alvarez Cristian required two attempts to keep out another shot from the man of the moment.
Finally, nine minutes from time, a pass from Giggs gave the electrifyingly quick Campbell the edge to get ahead of his markers and slot a clinical finish past Cristian.
Again, thank you 20LEGEND, you will always be in our hearts....

Manchester United 2 - Portsmouth 1





Manchester United continued their positive runs in their pre-season friendlies. Against Portsmouth at the Abuja National Stadium in Lagos, Nigeria, Manchester United manage to beat their FA Community Shield opponent by 2 goals to 1.
Chris Eagles scored first on the 51st minute followed by a Carlos Tevez goal on the 61st minute. Portsmouth managed to score a consolation through Jermain Defor at the 90th minute.
Only half of the 60.000 capacity stadium is filled by audiences, but nevertheless, the Nigerian fans managed to make an exciting atmosphere throughout the match. Even without Wayne Rooney, Manchester United still manage to dominate the game.
On the 5th minute, Manchester United was rewarded by a penalty. Carlos Tevez had to re-take his kick and on the second attempt he hit the bar. On the 24th minute, Frazier Campbell had another golden chance for Manchester United, but again David James is up to the rescue. James again saved Portsmouth from being a goal down again by saving another chances created by Campbell on the 37th minute.
Finally on the 51st minute, Chris Eagles managed to break the dead lock. Ten minutes later Tevez finally scored a goal for him. Portsmouth will still continue their South African tour, while Manchester United will return to Manchester.

Thank You Ole !!!!





On August 2nd 2008, Old Trafford will pay tribute to one of the greatest legend ever to grace it's pitch : Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ole will officially retire as a legend at Manchester United with a testimonial match held at Old Trafford. It's going to be both a great and a sad day for Manchester United fans. Because we are going to say goodbye for the player that won the treble in 1999 but at the same time we will remember of what a great player we had.

Ole, unlike any other United stars, is the most beloved player by the fans to this date. Cantona amazes us, Roy Keane made us respect him, Ronaldo entertains us, but nobody is as warm and as close to the fans than Ole. He is our "everyday hero", he is the guy that shut his mouth and does his talking on the pitch, he never once made a hassle or trouble. He is a the "people's hero" of Old Trafford.

But Ole's admirer are not coming from the Manchester United side alone. Outside Old Trafford, people respect him for his sportsmanship and behavior. I never once heard or read Ole being accused of diving or foul playing. He is a footballer, a role-model footballer for young pros...

Ole made some memorable performance for Manchester United that the fans will never forget. He once scored 4 goals in 3 minutes on an 8-1 trashing of Nottingham Forest, and who can forget his last minute winning goal that won us the treble in 1999 ?

So many things that can be talked about the legend. On our next eZine, it's going to be a special edition dedicated to Old Trafford's most beloved player : Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Visit Red Blood, and subscribe to the eZine to be the first one to get it next week, and by subscribing now, you still have the chance to get the previous edition plus the ECL Bonus.

Tentang Andy F. Noya

ANDY F. NOYA selama ini lebih dikenal sebagai wartawan cetak. Lebih dari lima belas tahun dia bergumul dengan dunia jurnalistik untuk media cetak.
Pertama kali terjun sebagai reporter ketika pada 1985 Andy membantu majalah TEMPO untuk penerbitan buku Apa dan Siapa Orang Indonesia. Saat itu pemuda berdarah Ambon, Jawa, dan Belanda ini masih kuliah di Sekolah Tinggi Publisitik (STP) Jakarta.


Pada saat harian ekonomi Bisnis Indonesia hendak terbit (1985), Andy diajak bergabung oleh Lukman Setiawan, pimpinan di Grafitipers, salah satu anak usaha TEMPO. Maka Andy tercatat sebagai 19 reporter pertama di harian itu. Baru dua tahun di Bisnis Indonesia, Andy diajak oleh Fikri Jufri wartawan senior TEMPO untuk memperkuat majalah MATRA yang baru diterbitkan oleh TEMPO. Andy tertarik lalu bergabung.

MATRA agaknya bukan pelabuhan terakhirnya. Pada 1992 datang tawaran dari Surya Paloh, pemilik suratkabar Prioritas yang waktu itu dibreidel, untuk bergabung dengan koran Media Indonesia yang mereka kelola. Maka sejak itulah Andy kembali ke suratkabar.

Pada 1999, RCTI menghadapi masalah. Terjadi gejolak dikalangan wartawan program berita Seputar Indonesia berkaitan dengan adanya ketentuan yang mengharuskan PT Sindo, anak usaha RCTI yang menaungi Seputar Indonesia, untuk bergabung dengan RCTI sebagai induk. Bersama wartawan senior DjafarAssegaff, Andy diutus untuk membantu. Tugas utama adalah memimpin Seputar Indonesia sekaligus memuluskan proses transisi ke RCTI.
Pada tahun 2000, Metro TV mendapat ijin siaran. Surya Paloh memanggil Andy kembali untuk memimpin Metro TV sebagai pemimpin redaksi. Tiga tahun kemudian (2003) Andy ditarik kembali ke Media Indonesia dan menjadi pemimpin redaksi di suratkabar umum terbesar kedua itu.
Memasuki tahun 2006, saat pemimpin redaksi Metro TV Don Bosco mengundurkan diri, Andy Noya, yang kini menjadi wakil pemimpin umum di Media Indonesia, diminta merangkap menjadi pemimpin redaksi Metro TV menggantikan Don Bosco.

Dalam perjalanan kariernya Andy pernah menjadi host program Jakarta Round Up kemudian Jakarta First Channel di Radio Trijaya selama lima tahun (1994 sd 1999).

Sewaktu mahasiswa lelaki yang gemar renang dan baca ini rajin menulis di berbagai majalah dan suratkabar. Terutama cerpen dan puisi. Dia juga aktif mengirim karikatur dan kartun ke berbagai media nasional.
Satu hal yang menarik, Andy sebenarnya adalah orang teknik. Sejak lulus SD Sang Timur di Malang, Jawa Timur, pria kelahiran Surabaya ini sekolah di Sekolah Teknik Jayapura lalu melanjutkan ke STM Jayapura. “Tetapi sejak kecil saya merasa jatuh cinta pada dunia tulis menulis. Kemampuan menggambar kartun dan karikatur semakin membuat saya memilih dunia tulis menulis sebagai jalan hidup saya,’’ tutur Andy.

Maka, setamat STM 6 Jakarta, Andy melamar masuk ke Sekolah Tinggi Publisistik (sekarang IISIP, Lenteng Agung). ’’Saya sekarang menikmati betul menjadi seorang jurnalis,’’ ujarnya.

Carlito is Finally a 100% Red Devil




Carlos "Carlito" Tevez is finally a 100% Red Devil. Tevez who came from West Ham, has a shared ownership between Manchester United and MSI (Media Sports Investment). Manchester United paid a fee of £35 million to gain the full ownership of the Argentinian contract and services, a sum that is a record breaking fee as far as British football concerns.

It's a great news for Manchester United, no one can deny what a great impact Tevez has been last season despite the fact that he was currently "on loan" from MSI.

Tevez has quickly become an integral part of Ferguson's attack, scoring 19 goals in 48 appearances for United in his first season. Realizing that, Fergie was quickly on the move to sign Tevez permanently on a long term contract.

"I've talked to Carlos, and I told him that he is a part of our long term future. He has been very successful in his first season, and he is a great young player who is well liked and respected by his team-mates". Though a deal may be struck this week, full payment may be delayed until January, or even next summer, so as not to limit Sir Alex Ferguson's transfer budget in this window.

United currently have the record for a transfer between two English clubs, the £29.1 million they paid to Leeds United for Rio Ferdinand in 2002. David Gill, United's chief executive, spoke recently of the need to resolve the Tevez issue before next summer and with the player eager to stay with the English and European champions there should be little barrier to the deal being struck.

Carlito's passion for Manchester United was evident even before he was signed for West Ham nor MSI. He was fined once in Corinthians for wearing a Manchester United jersey during a press conference.
