Why am I writing this here?

OOOOH

Sheva a flop? Wow, I soo didn't see that coming :))

*Looks up to the sky and thanks it*

Ceiling then.. Whatever..

I so so hope this story has a little truth in it. Sheva back at Milan doesn't quite do it for me. But Sheva not at Chelsea makes me want to dance around a tree and sing!

What are we supposed to do with that rag in Jenni's garden now..? hmm?

And more importantly, What are we supposed to do with the oh so yummy but scummy at present Sheva?

I'm getting too excited too soon.. :yes:

I don't care whether he deserves it or not. All that matters is that he looks hot in a suit. :>>

1 year ago today..

by cartlionel @ Sunday, 26. Nov, 2006 - 18:59:06

Me and Jenni and Ray were stood in the Twelve Pins watching Arsenal vs Blackburn.

It was a day that would change my life forever.. well for a while at least.

I fell in love.

With Freddie.

(AWWWWW)

Obviously I've always found him delicious. I'm not blind! But that was the day the obsession started.

I didn't talk about anything else for 2 solid days.. In fact, Most of the following morning was spent singing dirty songs about him.

So, i'm sending this blog from a snazzy hotel in the middle of nowhere. cos I've been whisked away for a few days. :>>

And now I must go to sleep

by cartlionel @ Sunday, 26. Nov, 2006 - 11:41:29

All that chatting on the phone with Shay has totally zonked me out.

I hope it has the same effect on him too..

*evil cackle*

night night ;)

There must be SOME nice news!

by cartlionel @ Saturday, 25. Nov, 2006 - 22:40:49

So, Arsenal lost. I've covered that in 2 words on my main blog didn't I.. yes..

I've put away the harm inflicting instruments now.

So I thought I'd cheer myself up by rummaging Google RSS for some nicer news.

It's proving to be hard work.

There's a silly article about how Didier 'Dogbaaahh' thinks he's better than Thierry. :crazy:

Patrik Berger has been "disciplined" (ooo-err) and loaned out to Stoke. (That's OK, I've almost forgotten what he looks like anyway..!)

A nice reminder here about how Robert Pires is still very much injured. Rub it in why don't you..!

Aha

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb was on Friday named Belarus Player of the Year, the country's sports weekly Press Ball announced.

I assume it means last Friday. But yay.. but. hmm. How many Belarussian footballers are there exactly?!?

Tonight, I look forward to potential glimpses of Erik on Match of the Day. And Freddie, if I can handle it. And the other mystery Scandinavian who I don't like anymore! (Is it obvious who I'm on about now? Probably)

Slaven Bilic playing Guitar

So that's what it all means.. The dishiest manager, Slaven Bilic (Croatia coach) used to be in a band and can hammer out a good tune on his guitar.

Life doesn't get much better than this.. :DD

I wish..

by cartlionel @ Thursday, 23. Nov, 2006 - 02:16:29

luis-figo

I wish I could say that that was my hair and my foot but sadly I can’t.. wrong colour/style/length and the heels look too smooth..!

But this picture is still one of the nicest in the world and I just stumbled across it while de-attaching email attachments from emails. (Yea it was really fun)

All he needs is a palm tree.. I think it will go nicely.

And if he dares decides to suddenly put on his football kit. I will tie him down 88| and punish 88| him cos Luis Figo playing football just.. well it’s silly.. It doesn’t work..! :D

Don't forget about...

by cartlionel @ Tuesday, 21. Nov, 2006 - 23:48:43

I've been playing this "game" with Zvone for the last 30 minutes. he is trying to guess every single Arsenal player I've ever drooled over. He's doing well. But he just can't get this guy. Admittedly, I forgot about Silvinho too.. :oops:

Sylvinho

I thought the clues "He's Brazilian" and "He plays in Spain" and "He's really really cute!" would've given it away but no..

Bernardo Corradi

by ViEiRA @ Monday, 20. Nov, 2006 - 18:20:27

I thought he might be fit. I was right. There's a video of his MOTD interview on the BBC website, but the BBC have cleverly made it so that you can't send people to actually use their website, to make sure they go elsewhere. So you'll have to find it yourself, via the "Open Audio and Video" button at the top of the page.

EDIT: (video added by Cazza)

Also:

Corradi and footballCorradi 2

He seems to have quite a following - try here (official) and here.

You learn someone new every day:)

I bet Ros wishes it was only a certain part of Joey Barton that was being knighted!

God bless, Jenni xx

Keeping it brief

by cartlionel @ Sunday, 19. Nov, 2006 - 21:27:46

OK, quick digest of last week’s goings on.

SWEDEN_SOCCER_FREDRIK_LJUNG

Freddie won Swedish footballer of the year, threw up in a bucket and missed Sweden’s game due to a Migraine attack cos he ate cheese. Guess who nursed him back to health? :)

CHINA_TENNIS_MASTERS_CUP_XE.44

Rafa Nadal lost to Federer again. (Not that I care about Tennis but that guy... mmm...)

10481857

Robin van Persie’s wife gave birth to a baby boy called Shaqueel. (awww...!)

FRANCE_VIEIRA_ENTRAINEMENT_010403

Patrick Vieira won his 100th cap for France. Does that mean he's getting ooold? ;)

Yeah there’s more news but I really can’t be bothered to read it all now cos I’m a lazy git.. I'll wipe the slate clean and start again tomorrow. Sorreee :>> (I'll make a crap reporter. :yes:)

Oh yes.. FOO..

by cartlionel @ Saturday, 18. Nov, 2006 - 02:35:43

It's a weird abbreviation for this page isn't it..

Lovely Jenni has been keeping you all.. (I'm quite aware that only 2 other people give a monkeys about this blog!) entertained while I've been elsewhere..

I was going to go on a posting spree tonight but the thought of looking through 800 Google alerts for any really interesting news filled me with dread.

So I've been playing with Movie Maker instead and managed to snip this lovely clip out of Match of the Day. It only took.. oh.. ages!

It was fun though.. such a chore having to look at him and listen to that accent for hours on end.. Although now I've noticed that he seems to have a problem stringing a sentence together.. poor thing.. I'll have to find some other interviews and see if it's a regular thing.


Coffee in bed

by ViEiRA @ Friday, 17. Nov, 2006 - 18:29:56

Just had International Political Theory lecture, where Peter Hough told us that the breakup of the former Yugoslavia was resolved by the Americans letting the three individual leaders have casual use of a building and do a little "old style diplomacy" - secretive stuff over claret and cigars. Apparently, the dispute was resolved when Milosevic brought some bloke whose name I can't spell a coffee in bed!

What does this have to do with Friends of Ours, I hear you ask?

I wrote a note to my friend Paddy asking if he thought it would work with Freddie and Erik!

(Skip next link if you're easily offended!)

Then the sort of fantasies contained here can ensue, if that floats your boat. I can't get that out of my head. I think slash fic is OK for gay guys, but seems to mess up straight women entirely!

Anyway, what are peoples' thoughts? Would coffee in bed resolve the dispute, or do we need some "new style diplomacy" - cameras, bright lights and conference rooms? Probably not now, 'cos of Freddie's migraine. Poor chap.

Ever seen this, Cazza? Even I melted.

Freddie looking very fit

And here's the other party.

Olof in a suit

I don't know who she is.

Slight problem with this blog... Too many piccies. I think I may have to go pro:(

Did you like that?

God bless, Jenni xx

Another new toy

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 16. Nov, 2006 - 18:35:49

I found this. Wallpapers of lots of interesting (and many boring... why so many Van Nistelrooy?) people. Have fun!

Here's an example for RVP fans, since we don't have him on here very often:

RVP

There's also Batistuta, Henry, Zidane, Del Piero etc, and apparently they're obsessed with di Canio and Lucarelli. Controversy fans?

I also found this today - a massive gallery of loads of football piccies, including from less obvious games. The first page had Peru v Jamaica piccies on it! Haven't delved deep, but I bet there's something fun in there somewhere... We should send in a team of investigators:)

(Note: Mymah, there's someone on the second page, right at the bottom, who I'm not putting on this blog, and I shouldn't be encouraging you!)

God bless, Jenni xx

For Cazza, Mymah and Ros

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 16. Nov, 2006 - 17:57:35

This is for you.

I bet I know where you'll be at 4pm next Thurs!:)

Piccie? Oh, go on then...

Cesc award

God bless, Jenni xx

No news = random Zizou picture

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 16. Nov, 2006 - 17:37:13

Zizou v close up very nice

Did you like that?:)

God bless, Jenni xx

It's not true

by ViEiRA @ Tuesday, 14. Nov, 2006 - 17:45:14

I hate tabloids.

(The Times is an honorary tabloid for belonging to Rupert Murdoch and picking up the story, although it did at least manage to do it objectively, and by taking a sly dig at the French tabloids Thanks Cazza for the info!)

Does this look like an affair in the making?

Zizou and Veronique

I think not. Anyway, the only person he's allowed to have affairs with is sitting in a computer room at Middlesex Uni writing this blog:) Shame on the French press!

God bless, Jenni xx

Gallas plays in red and white

by ViEiRA @ Monday, 13. Nov, 2006 - 19:15:16

He hates Chelsea!

Gallas and Henry celebratingGallas celebrating

This is my favourite.

Gallas being cute

I stole these from Arsenal Pics. I'm very naughty.

As for the rest of the weekend's action, it was sad to see little Tim getting injured. Fully forgiven now.

Cahill injured

I discovered that Zat Knight is fit.

Zat Knight

And MOTD broke its Erik embargo and made Cazza very happy.

Sutton and Erik

Apart from that, Arsenal won, Spurs lost and therefore everything is right with the world!

God bless, Jenni xx

Domenech is cross.

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 09. Nov, 2006 - 16:40:22

Read here.

It's not actually very relevant but it gives me a chance to post those purple and white polo shirt piccies!

Zizou purple and white polo shirt 1Zizou in purple and white polo shirt 2Zizou and microphone

This is him and his brother:

Zizou and brother

These were all lovingly stolen from his official site and feature some of his lovely work for Canal Plus. I must get French TV.

And I really must go now to start sorting out Get Your Kit On, cos it's in 2 hours. Until next time, have fun and God bless!

Jenni xx

I want one

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 09. Nov, 2006 - 16:13:44

And I bet Cazza wants one more:

Justice for Pedro 1(1)

And close up:

Justice for Pedro 2(2)

OK, I wasn't too bothered about him having goals disallowed for Sp*rs, but you gotta love the unluckiest man alive:)

Right, I've had enough of the file extension game. Websites: Stop bitmapping!

I STILL can't find my offensive anti-Marco Materazzi T-shirt!

God bless, Jenni xx

Almost forgiven

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 09. Nov, 2006 - 16:01:55

Tim Cahill didn't do anything particular against Arsenal last night. The Independent had a VERY lovely piccie of him and Senderos, including Tim's tongue not being in his mouth at all in a VERY Henrik Larsson like way, but I can't find it online:( That's why buying papers is better. It's also why they cost money.

I did find this, though:

Cahill topless

Happy?:)

Also, Darren Bent is still cute:

Darren Bent

And here is an airborne Adebayor scoring. Not much to look at (well, he is, but it's not closeuppish), but I like the piccie!

Adebayor airborne

The bottom two were from my new toy, the 4thegame.com Gallery.

Anyway, that's my Carling Cup round up for you! Let's all go laugh at Man Utd now!

God bless, Jenni xx

Traitor

by cartlionel @ Wednesday, 08. Nov, 2006 - 17:02:42

This lovely man once did an awful thing to Dinamo Zagreb.

He left them and went to Hajduk Split.

And now Dinamo fans don't like him.

When I showed signs of disgust about this, I was told (by a Dinamo fan) that I shouldn't be so mean to him!!

Gah.. At least now he's at Portsmouth, it means he's seen sense and left that icky club.;)

kranjcar02 kranjcar01 kranjcar03 kranjcar04

Has he been listening to Sandi Thom?

by ViEiRA @ Wednesday, 08. Nov, 2006 - 17:02:10

Not having any hair hasn't stopped him with the flowers:

Zizou having flowers on his head

He still looks cute. Ros appreciated the lines around his eyes, which are what makes his smile so yummy. I said I am getting those, with age, and the girl next to us on the uni computers took an active interest. She told me I have a long way to go yet!

The accompanying article can be found here. To summarise, he has been launching a project to produce cheap yoghurt (how random!) for people in Bangladesh. He has been saying lots of nice things about Asian football, and that he thinks his talents lean more towards working with children than coaching.

I don't care what he does as long as there are loads of pictures and I get an opportunity to meet him at some stage:)

God bless, Jenni xx

If you've ever been to Angel tube station

by ViEiRA @ Tuesday, 07. Nov, 2006 - 19:45:28

you will have seen the 2006 (or is it 2007?) Schott's Almanac cartoons on the wall. Including a drawing of this picture:

Zizou

I love that. Something about the look in the eyes.

I found out that 4thegame.com has a Gallery. It can't be searched and doesn't contain very old piccies, but yielded certain things. This piccie of TH is from Sunday's game - it's very up to date.

TH and ref - Sunday 5.11

I got a proper close up of Caleb Folan. Dying for one.

Caleb Folan

I realised Darren Bent (right) is quite attractive, although I wouldn't be saying that if Charlton had beaten us!!

Chris Powell and Darren Bent

Horrible referees should not do this to Thierry:

Th CSKA goal disallowed

That's from the CSKA disallowed goal game.

One more thing. If you ever search Google Images for "2006 World Cup" you'll die almost instantly.

Why?

Because...

Zizou with ball

Sorry if this messed anyone's slow PC up.

We'll conclude with the well known fact that TH knows how to be silly.

Thierry-Henry silly smile

And a stupid cartoon.

zinedine zidane Stupid cartoon German

I think the German means "That was it!"

And that's it from me too. Enjoy!

God bless, Jenni xx

Wonderful World Cup wastes of time

by ViEiRA @ Tuesday, 07. Nov, 2006 - 19:28:37

I've been after piccies of players with their shirts over their heads for a university quiz. Sadly, these are few and far between. I couldn't even get the quintessential one of Ravanelli.

I did, however, find some great sources of fun. The official Fifa world cup has a Photo Zone. Piccie goodness!

I think I got most of the following from there:

Can I join you PVGallas Henry Ribery

Actually, this next one was from a 2002 World Cup gallery. Not sure where it was but here's where Fifa keep theirs, and I think it might have been around here somewhere.

Lets all point at the referee

I'm not sure what's happening there, tbh. It was the Uruguay game where TH got sent off. I think the caption said someone fouled PV. Not nice.

Anyway, back to 2006 piccies. The next one might kill you - beware.

Zizou smiling in red French kit thingy.TH PV LF No shirtsTh ZZ

And some more.

Here's some lovely PV, from Google Images.

Now, I'm going to do another post to showcase OTHER wastes of time! Hope you enjoyed that!

Kaka's hat-trick

by cartlionel @ Friday, 03. Nov, 2006 - 23:47:30

Kaka scored a hat trick a couple days ago against Anderlecht and suddenly everyone is going on about how amazing he is etc etc etc.. So if he'd only scored 2 goals. would that mean that Ronaldinho is still "better"? Bloody newspapers getting over excited. I mean.. we all know who's the nicer one don't we.. :>>

Pleins les yeux!

by ViEiRA @ Thursday, 02. Nov, 2006 - 17:58:42

The best website ever.

Except it’s in French.

Which isn’t a problem if you speak French (or Spanish). Which I don’t, not really. My French is OK but not good for lots and lots of text, or idioms.

I did find out that “Pleins les yeux” means “Feed the eyes”. I take it that’s the same as “Feast your eyes”. Cool. I do like crossover idioms! I still don’t know what the Ministry of the Magic Bomb is though…

Anyway, gripe #2 with wonderland site is that theft of pictures is made difficult. Print screening and lots of pasting into Paint is the order of the day. Cazza had to help me with that lovely one on the right of the page, because it’s bigger than the screen!

Here’s what I managed to harvest using Paint. Pleins les yeux!

French players post goal v Italy

I admit that this one is strange.

Very very strange piccie of Zizou and CannavaroZizou - Nice eyeish close up

Zizou and DomenechZizou and Ronaldo

If there is such a thing as Jenni's dream piccie, this would be it. Who would I rather be? Who would YOU the reader rather be?

Zizou carrying PV

This one is after his final match for Madrid. If I'd known back then he was a yummypants, I'd have taken him home and cuddled him afterwards:)

Zizou getting all emotional after final Madrid match

This is my favourite other than the PV one. I like his brooding seriousness.

Zizou looking seriousZizou on floor against Italy
Zizou PV Thuram RiberyZizou sat on the floor being fit (as ever)Zizou smiling
Zizou smiling 2Zizou, WC and Domenech

Finishing on a slightly sombre note there:( Poor Zizou...

Well, I have some other yummyness to show you, involving a purple and white polo shirt, but that's enough drooling for one day (and certainly enough of the file extension game!). Hope you enjoyed those.

God bless, Jenni xx
