Wembley - England U21 v Italy U21 Thanks to True for unexpectedly getting me a ticket to the first international game at Wembley, to see the first goal and hat-trick. Shame they all came from an Italian!      19 March 2007

March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. That's it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th. It's like a perpetual love machine!" - Tom Birdsey (founder of Steak and Blowjob Day) 08 March 2007
Idle Internet Gossip The following is part of an e-mail I've received. It could be 100%, it could be 100% bullshit, it could be the fantasy of someone who did too many mushrooms, I don't know. Make of it what you will. We all know the close season before last was a bit of a joke with last minute signings being often, desperate measures as the boards plans floundered on a lack of interest from the parties involved ala mid fielders etc etc.. Apparently, The Force had told Bruce in that close season.."Look SB the fact is my one knee is fine but the truth is i need another Op to sort out the other knee which has problems as well... Bruce asked how long could he wait?? The Force said well i can give it a go but the truth is its just as liable to screw up as the other one was.. Bruce then asked him how long he'd be out if he had the Op done then.. THe Force quite honestly told him that it woiuld probably be almost another season out.. Bruce then said ..hang on we've only just signed you and you're saying you could be out for a whole season??.. The Force said.. yes but surely you were told that by the docs when i signed?? Ergo we went into the season with the The Force knowing that his knee could go anytime, or, it might be fine and he could wait till May , have it done. and be back for Xmas.. Only of course this being Blues, reportedly The Force's knee went in his first game.. The Force thought ....oh fuck... there's no way i can tell the Boss cos he will think I'm stringing him a line, signed a new contract, and buggered off on sick leave.. The upshot being that The Force didnt tell Bruce until some time in late October, that yes, I have to have the Op for sure... Now apparently, there was a serious spat between Bruce and The Force about the whole fitness regime... The Force taking the stance that he'd been upfront about it all and Bruce furious that he thought The Force had been less than honest about ,actually how bad it really was in the first place... The spat developed into a bit of a to do over the whole fitness regime at Blues with the The Force eventually saying something along the lines of... It's a fucking joke Boss, half the team are unfit. Bruce took it all a bit personally and The Force was told ..Go have the fucking operation and I don't want to see you til you are actually fit again by Bruce... It is rumoured, though i can't actually back this part up, that The Force and Bruce didn't actually speak to eachother, directly, again till this last close season.. that''s how serious it was.. anyway we the new fitenss regime in place some of what The Force had told Bruce during the spat was reiterated by "Professionals" and Bruce relasied that The Force was actually talknig sense and they made up although it took a while for the bridges to be repaired. Bruce then said OK.... I wil leave it up to you to come back when you yourself feel fit and i won't pressure you to play at all unless you yourself say you feel right.. The Force thanked Bruce and then said i could well be back before Xmas if i push it.. Bruce said don't worry just come back fit... Now come early December The Force, through Black, let it be known that he was ready to start training, and this is where it all gets a bit cloak and dagger... Bruce realised, along with the board, that a fit Force was liable to attract bids from the likes of West Ham/Bolton/Wigan etc etc... and that , it might well be hard to hang onto him..Given they knew Upson was on his way, as was Dunn, neither Bruce of the board wanted to lose the player who could be the club's biggest pecuniary asset on the cheap in January.. Ergo they , in cahoots with the The Force, who wanted genuinly, to repay the club for sticking by him, agreed to basically keep totally schtumm about his return to "fitness"... Ie, some of Bruce's protestations about Upson's possible transfer were, yes heart felt, but actually a bit of a screen to take other clubs eye off the ball, as it were, regarding The Force's situation, including his "Best mate" Big Sam at Bolton... Ergo my comments about The difference between The Force and Upson... Upson spent the whole of his rehab with onething in mind, leaving the club... The Force, out of professional honour, spent his time determined to prove he was worth the money the club spent on him... Afterall, all The Force had to do was make sure the right person knew he was actually fit enough to pass a medical and it would have made the papers.. and he didn't..Upson was acting like a spoilt brat, via his agent and the press, before he'd even kicked a ball in anger again.. One thing you will notice is, up until this week, nearly all the quotes about The Force and his fitness were from "A source" or Eric Black, only now has Bruce actually even spoken about it at length in public. |
