Matthew kann in London bleiben
chelsea farmer's club - cfc_albert
Abwaerts geht's mit Victoria B. - Ist sie uns nicht lange genug auf die Nerven gegangen mit ihren funny friends und ihrem unnachahmlichen Stil?!! - Vorbei, vorbei, jetzt ist es vorbei - von Dir will niemand mehr was wissen - und von Deinem Mann auch nicht. - Ab gehts nach Hause - und: herzlichen Dank fuer den Besuch.
Wer glaubt, dass ich son bisken zu hart hier bin und irgendwie der Fussball voll mit mir durchgebrannt ist - ist er - sollte sich mal kurz zu Gemuete fuehren, was unser Freund Matthew Engel (Englaender) ueber den englischen Fussball vor dem verloren Spiel am Samstag in der FT (unser Lieblingszeitung - neben Fox&Hound - aus England) geschrieben hat.
Matthew drohte sogar, auszuwandern, falls seine Mannschaft die Meisterschaft gewinnen wuerde. - Schlechter Fussball. Schlechtes Management. Schlechter Trainer. Mieser Stil. Sehr spezielle Spielerfrauen. Schlecht fuer England.
-
Matthew, gut fuer Dich, gut fuer England und gut fuer uns alle:
Die englische Mannschaft hat gegen grossartige Portugiesen verloren.
Well spoken, Matthew!

"...
It has been noted too that Eriksson (salary: £4m plus) even now does not seem to know what formation he wants, that he cannot get his midfield to combine, that David Beckham’s role has become marginal. There are leaks about the uselessness of the manager’s half-time talks. And the tabloids are full of the boutique-madness of the WAGs (the wives and girlfriends) who have given Baden-Baden a bonanza it hasn’t seen since the days when Edward VII hit the roulette tables.
Older readers may recall Vivienne Nicholson, the football pools winner who said she would “spend, spend, spend” and duly did so, with unhappy results. She counted as a cautionary tale in the 1960s; these days she would be a heroine. But somehow no one at home seems to have put it all together and drawn the right conclusions. Should England win the World Cup, it would glorify everything that is atrocious about football.
It would be a triumph for bad management and administration. It would send yet more cash into a game already polluted and corrupted by it. It would reward a team that has thus far played rotten football rather than those – Spain, Argentina, Brazil (fitfully), Holland and Germany – who have set the World Cup alight. Lord knows what it might do to the quality of English life (or indeed the popularity of the prime minister).
I am looking at properties in Scotland and the more nationalistic reaches of Wales. I shall be travelling directly from Trafalgar Square. I’ll be the one in the tin hat and flak jacke."
