Jumpers 4 Goalposts

The aim of this blog is too look at the humourous, irrelevant side to the great game - without causing offence.

If you have any funny anecdotes, pictures etc please let us know.

FA Cup works so back off FA.

In a week we hear rumours that the FA and Premiership clubs are thinking of toying with the most famous club competition I the world we would like to point out:

What a weekend – just what we like to see the minnows giving the big guns a run for their money;

First we have Man Utd v Crawley Town (just how bad is Rooney). Crawley are a team of part time footballers who don’t get to travel first class, be pampered on and train in luxurious surroundings Oh no. Jumpers 4 Goalposts this mob and good luck to them – Owning a Bently does not make you a better footballer.

From start to finish they gave Man Utd a game and almost scored a copycat goal to Rooney’s bicycle kick. We would hope that after this match Wayne feels a little humbled by his antics – frustrated is what the commentator said (he would of described Tyson’s ear biting incident as a bit peeved)  well petulant is what we think.

The O’s great 2011 continues as they take the Gunners to a replay. Much needed revenue for Leyton but Oh how their opponents could do without another game in their rapidly increasing fixture list.

And of course we must not forget Notts County, even most Man City fans I think would agree that 5-0 was a bit flattering. Notts had several excellent attempts (some Premiership strikers should watch this game and pay attention) at goal forcing some excellent saves from the ever improving Joe Hart.

Now over to Chelsea and Everton - £75 million spent in the transfer window and out the Cup you go to a team that cost a fraction of that amount, if Chelsea really fail (no trophies and no Champions League) what will they do now.

So FA it’s not broke so don’t fix it!

Bye, Bye Stratford or Is it now just about the money

It has been quite a few days. Leyton Orient's impresive 2011 continues as West Ham continue to show how good they could be. In the second half of the West Brom game they showed the spirit and ability of a Champions League side and not one fighting a relegation battle to the Championship, however, congratulations to all Hammers on getting the Stratford site - I can't help thinking that Olympic Orient had agood ring to it though!

This all goes on as Man Utd win bragging rights over their City rivals whilst as City and Chelsea both falter in derby games (work this one out Fulham are based in Putney while Chelsea are in Fulham!) Arsenal and Spurs take advantage.

Still as the game becomes more about cheque books than football boots we must ask is Torres worth £50 million? Well for our money, about the price of a match ticket in 1984, he isn't but then again is any player. He missed a sitter last night which I could have easily done for a fraction of his pay and most of you would have probably have burried without even putting your drink down.

Liverpool did invest a large chunk in Andy Carrol as a replcement, allgedly Spurs offered a swap deal for him; both Peter Crouch and an apology but Newcastle took Liverpool's £35 mill instead - more money than it cost the reds to win three european cups during the Paisley era.


Another point we still reflect on is Aston Villa.....they were willing to Loose Martin O'Neil because of transfer funds etc and then give Gerad "dead ringer for Kermit the Frog" Houlier the money to buy Darren Bent - don't get me wrong a proven manager and a player who should, in my umble opinion gone to the last World Cup instead of Heskey - if O'Neil had had those sort of funds me thinks Villa would be Champions League chasing.




Which one is Kermit and which is Houllier?
