That guy is a cock. If you ever actually see him on TV you will soon realise that. So this is hardly a shocker.

Nicole, stop making promising thread titles for shit threads. You are wasting my time here!

You could just never read what I say

I fucking love The Guardian Unlimited:

You could be forgiven for assuming that Liverpool fans would be
relieved when it was finally announced their club will get to defend
its Big Cup title next season. After all, they finished a distant
fifth in the Premiership, a whopping 38 points behind winners Chelsea
and didn't actually qualify for the competition. But having been on
the receiving end of one or two (billion) missives from paranoid
Scousers over the years, The Fiver knew better. So we weren't one bit
surprised by the cacophony of ungrateful wailing, weeping and
teeth-gnashing triggered around Anfield when Uefa's 14-man executive
committee decided over breakfast (today's menu: fudge, fudge and more
fudge) to make "a special case" and allow the holders into the first
qualifying round of next season's Big Cup.

"Uefa have treated their own champions with contempt. To be told they
have to start in the first qualifier is wrong and a real kick in the
teeth," whinged Les Lawson, spokesperson for the Liverpool
International Supporters' Club, upon hearing his team will be forced
to play actual football matches if they are to retain their shiny
trophy. And while The Fiver agrees that it would have been much
fairer of Uefa to fast-track Liverpool into the last five minutes of
next season's Big Cup final with a two-goal lead, fans of other teams
will relish the possibility of the holders being eliminated in the
preliminaries by a team that has actually earned the right to be
there. Total Network Solutions or Shelbourne, for example. Or
Everton.

Liverpool will have to play six matches to qualify for the group
stages of this year's Big Cup, with the first one pencilled in for -
stop your sniggering now - mid-July. Cue: the cancellation of a
money-making tour of fabled Scouse outpost Japan, and even more
pompous, self-pitying whining: "We are being treated like nobodies,
we deserve to be treated with some respect," howled Les. In the end,
it was left to former player and assistant manager Phil Thomson to
inject a long overdue dose of humility into proceedings. "We are
delighted we are back in. It's a great decision for football," he
aye-ayed gratefully as a stampeding herd of angry Manchester City
fans thundered towards Soho Square, anxious to discover if they can
emulate the Koppites by whining their way into a certain
recently-vacated Euro Vase berth. So far, they can't.

...Nightclub proprietors in Valencia are sweating profusely after Patrick
Kluivert failed the first part of his medical at the Mestalla.

Well, that certainly is not helping my dislike for English clubs.

UEFA are spineless.

In everything, I rememeber when Atletico Madrid got a £600 fine for racist chants, Patrick was fined £2300 by UEFA for criticizing them saying they didn't do enough against racism.

They shouldn't have been in the first place

Welcome to the new Champions-Except-If-You're-Not-But-Won-Last-Year's-Tournament League.

As opposed to the old
Champions And Assorted Other Rich Clubs League?

Milan are Champions of what exactly this year?

I always thought that the holders should automatically qualify but that's just my opinion whereas rules are rules. The rules no longer state that the holders are guaranteed a place in the competition therefore Liverpool shouldn't be in the CL this coming season.

very nice from uefa to let them play in the first round like small teams

Rangers have enlisted the help of James Bond to complete the signing of their latest big-name star.

The Scottish champions recruited Bond actor Sean Connery to persuade Marseille captain Brahim Hemdani Scotland was the place to further his career.

The man with the golden tongue met the French defender at Cannes Airport and smooth-talked him into signing a £4m four-year deal at Ibrox.

Rangers chairman David Murray, a close friend of Connery's, admitted that was what swung it.

He told the Daily Record: "It's true I enlisted Sean's help to sell Scotland to Brahim.

"The German side, Bayer Leverkusen, were chasing him as well and I arranged for Sean to meet the player at Cannes Airport to help sell Scotland to him.

"Brahim then flew over and had a good look around. I am delighted to say that, after returning home to France, he then agreed to sign for the club."

It's not clear what Connery said to the Algerian-born player, who can't wait to get his hands on the 007 shirt. Perhaps he scared the living daylights out of him.
