What the F**K!!!

So back from India after a 2 week cricket tour , and I though all the wierd shit was over. As brilliant as it was, being offered an "omlette" (don India accent please) about 50 times on a night-train was pretty fucking annoying, and the fact we got beaten by a team whose best player was a 10 year old in one of the matches was embarrasing to say the least. Then again, he is tipped to be the next Tendaulker. Prithvi Shaw is the name.
Got back to England yesterday knowing nothing about anything football related, expecting the usual shit results for Palace, and the general predictiability of the Premier-league. Alas, how wrong could I be? Granted, we only managed 1 point from 2 games, but talk about a good finish from Victor. What a goal it was, and people are already talking about it as a goal of the season contender - although Maynor Figueroa may have something to say about that. The BBC's description of:
"Maynor Figueroa put Wigan back in front after the break with a quickly taken free-kick from his own half"
doesn't do it half the justice it deserves in what was a fantastic peice of thinking and skill. Beckham-esque if you like!
And then there's Sparky being sacked: Hardly a surprise, although very strange timing - and Mancini coming in: Again very unsurprising and if the rumours are true, Henry could be on his way to Eastlends along with wait for it... Younus Kaboul? Can I blame City for getting rid of Hughes? Not particularly: they've spent a shit load of money and are still struggling to get into the top 6. I'm not saying they should finish top four this season, but they should certainly be doing better than they currently are.
United also lost in hilarious fashion to both Aston Villa and Fulham which brings their title credentials under serious scrutiny. I guess the fact not having any fit defenders didn't help, but a 3 - 0 defeat for United is almost unheard of and will no doubt dent confidence within their ranks. The only down side to their recent slip up is that it was once again Bobby Zamora who was the oppositions tormentor with what has to be was an excellent Performance. If he gets called up the England squad, I'm supporting Germany. Fucking Brighton reject. On a side note, that Hodgson is doing a fooking fantastic job ain't he.
I guess one thing has stayed the same: Liverpool whose shit form has continued. Benitez is surely on his way out soon - with the "we've only got 2 decent players" arguement waring thin. Mascherano, Johnson, Kuyt and others would walk into the vast majority of Premiership sides. It's a non-sensical arguement in my opinion.
There's no two ways about it, we're fucked financially. Really in the shit and January is always the worst month of the year as a Palace fan. Moses will go for sure - possibly to Barcelona according to some rumours out recently, although more likely to someone like Spurs or even Arsenal. Then there's people like Ambrose and Speroni who we really can't afford to let go from a footballing perspective, but can't afford to keep them in a financial sense. Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to February already!
Who said football was boring!!
