Very Funny Papa Bendtner
After signing a five-year extension with Arsenal, Nicklas Bendtner’s father/agent, Thomas, claimed that some of the ‘biggest clubs in the world’ (i.e. Barcelona, Inter Milan, Bayern München) were after the not-so-great Dane. Of course, Bendtne...
End Of Summer
We hoped you missed us and we apologize for the delayed summer vacation. But quite frankly the transfer season bores the hell out of us. My daily dose of where will David Bentley end up lobotomized me into a drooling stupor. I admit that Real Madrid...
What’s This Shirt Worth?
Now that Manchester United has secured the richest shirt sponsorship known to mankind, we thought that we would give you the most lucrative shirt sponsorships in the world. There aren’t many surprises, but we thought it was interesting nonetheless....
Manchester United Signs Record Shirt Deal
Ending months of speculation, Manchester United announced that it has agreed to a four-year £80m shirt sponsorship deal with Chicago-based financial company Aon. It’s a significant increase from the £14m a year they were getting from former spons...
Tell Us What You Really Think
As the old saying goes, opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one. Unlike a**holes, which are only shared on adult websites and magazines (does anyone read porno mags anymore?), footballers opinions make front page headlines around the world. Ste...
Life Outside The Champions League
Believe it or not, there’s actually football news that isn’t about the Champions League semi-final matches. You may not care but it’s there and you can’t just sit there and ignore it. Ok, maybe you can. Phil Brown once declared he would one ...
Class Is In Session
Class is a relative phrase when it comes to footballers. For some we speak of their class on the pitch, for others we speak about their lack of it in society. We also say how some clubs aren’t in the same class as others. So it should come as no s...
Managerial Tales
Football managers are special people. One moment they’re defending a completely shitty striker, the next they’re complaining how the schedule is unfair to their club. Basically they’ll say whatever’s necessary to deflect criticism from thems...
Love And Happiness
‘You be good to me, I’ll be good to you…Walk away with victory.’ Al Green sang those lyrics in his classic song ‘Love and Happiness.’ If I didn’t know he was talking about loving his lady, I’d think he’s singing about footballers. ...
High Hopes
Judging by all the alleged bad behavior in the news today, it seems as if everyone’s itching for the international break to be over. I know I am. Don’t get me wrong, I love international competition, but watching Germany beat up on Lichtenstein ...
It’s The Economy, Stupid
Money makes the world go ‘round. As much as we try to pretend that it isn’t so, sometimes we’re reminded of it. (Actually I’m reminded of it everyday when I open my dusty wallet only to find a lonely fiver inside.) At least today’s news is...
Hello?
Perhaps Oscar Wilde was correct when he said, “The man who sees both sides of a question is a man who sees absolutely nothing at all.” That’s how I felt as I read today’s football news. Is the manager a clueless madman or a mad scientist? Wi...
More Drunken Picks
I don’t remember my picks record. (I’m sure some of you more industrious types will decide to look it up and let me know.) Regardless of what it stands at, I know I’m good. I know I’m good because my bookie won’t call me back. And if he’...
It’s Been Emotional
Emotions are running high as spring approaches and clubs trophy aspirations are vanishing into thin air like so much of the Drunk’s marijuana smoke. On this Tuesday, the papers are filled with emotional people and I have to say that it makes me ha...
Pointing The Finger
John Greenleaf Whittier said, “Each crisis brings its word and deed.” My uncle had a more common way of putting it. He just said, “Put up or shut up.” As the football season hits the home stretch, it’s put up or shut up tim...
Back At It
The Drunk is a fighter, and an o-fer day isn’t going to deter him from making picks. Sure there’s been a lot of bravado in this space recently, but I’m back today to set things right. And for those of you who blame me for lost money, you shoul...
Power of the Ponytail, Part II
It wasn’t supposed to be like this. When we started the Golden Comb, it was meant to be open to all kinds of hairstyles. But for the second week in a row, the power of the ponytail lives. This week’s winner is Andrey Voronin of Hertha Berlin. And...
