Monday Backpasses: Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh

When did British fans get so uptight? I can only imagine how much they would cry as away fans at a KU football game.
Wayne Rooney makes Everton fans cry by kissing his Manchester United badge [Soccernet]
Celtic fans continue to get wound up by a "Famine Song" [BBC]

Anyway, other stuff below.

Ljungberg to Seattle. Book it. Done [Soccernet]

MLS three-fer:
ESPN hates MLS [Soccer America]
Greg Lalas writes as Beckham's jilted bride. "No, it's okay. He's an ass. I hope he goes. Good Riddance. Don't show your face around here anymore! *breaks into sobs*" [SI]

And, finally:
If you haven't seen it, go check out Kieran Richardson's goal against Newcastle. Then come back and let us know what expletives flew out of your mouth when you watched it [101 Great Goals]

I may be biased (I'm a Newcastle fan) but Richardson doesn't have to score before I start hurling expletives at him.

Holy screaming eagle shit.


This gem from the Ronney badge-kiss piece:
''The way the referee was behaving, I feared he might be sent off - for no reason, of course, just the way the crowd were reacting in getting him booked.''
out of SAF is just priceless. Other than a few ill-timed challenges, and some general asshattery, there was no reason at all. Nope. I wonder if Fergie believes even half the pandering bullshit that issues from his mouth.

That was a laser beam, but I'll take Sidwell's curler from open play in the closing moments:
