Monday Backpasses: It's going to happen


Whether or not it's a good thing will be decided later. I just wanted a reason to post this picture stolen from Sarah's blog. Easily one of my top football photos of all time.

After viewing this picture I realized the Kuyt jersey I bought yesterday is from 2006 when he was still wearing 7, IVE BEEN HAD!

Looks like Dirk has a puppet in that picture.

"Pennant appeared to put the past behind him and won the Champions League with Liverpool"

Uh, no. He joined the club like fifteen months after Istanbul.

Do appreciate the Bellamy picture in that article though, for my money that goal celebration is the best of all time, even better than the legendary line of coke celebration. Still wish we had held onto him instead of Riise.

Yes. A non-responsive puppet.

That picture makes me laugh every time I see it. And I'm glad the whole saga is finally over.

The Graham Poll article spelled Xabi Alonso's name wrong. Xavi is a completely different player.

@Sarah - that drove me absolutely nuts during the Euro 2008. Xabi ≠ Xavi, KTHXBAI.

"And I'm glad the whole saga is finally over."

You know, or not...

Click the link again Sarah... Apparently those quotes were fabricated and not from the FA.

Sarah said...

Jesus Christ, I hate transfer season.

@Sarah: when you first posted that pic I about lost it. Arshavin looks resigned to a fate worse than winning a header.

Kuyt looks especially Slothy, too.

All better now, Sarah. Deal's approved.
