Couple of Updates

Scholes
Our forgotten man seems to be back. His eye condition seems to no longer be a concern anymore. Chances are he wouldn't be playing this season, but he'd probably be back next season. Here's the problem, where do we play him? Or more importantly, with all the transfer rumours of a midfielder coming in, who will he replace? At 31, his window of opportunity is getting smaller and smaller.

The Replacements
Speaking of incoming midfielders, looks like Diarra is the frontrunner. To be frank, I'm not at all impressed with him. I've caught both the Lyon - Milan quarter-finals champions league games and found absolutely nothing special about him. I can't believe they are comparing him with Essien, who played for Lyon last season. Essien WAS Lyon. Diarra is nothing.

Not to mention if we're going to get him, we're going to fork out ridiculous money. I certainly hope we get some Premiership tested and proven midfielders. Someone like Scott Parker.

FC United
I'll be the first to admit I hardly know any of the players nor watched any of their games. But it seems that they have won promotion. Maybe in the next few years, we might even see them in the lower divisions.

Torrents and watching games over the Internet
Apparently this option is no longer available. SKY/EPL has come down hard on the forums that I have been visiting, practically shutting them down if they offer torrents or url links to live games over the internet. Perhaps it hasn't occurred to these dicks that there are people in this world who want to watch soccer but their countries don't provide it.

I'm still able to access most of the websites, but the links on this blog have been removed for security reasons.

South Park Rules!
^ says it all. All hail Matt and Trey for yet another wonderfully scripted 2-parter on so many levels. Gotta love Jesus shitting on Bush.
