Alan Shearer is the worst pundit floating in a sea of crap

Last night on MOTD Alan Shearer said the following about Hatem Ben Arfa: "no one knows much about him"

This is the Hatem Ben Arfa who has played several times and scored twice for France and won about 5 Ligue One titles so far in his career.
Add the fact that he has just signed for the club Shearer supports and was manager of only 2 years ago and you get a perfect example of why Alan Shearer is the worst pundit in the history of MOTD. He has managed the incredible feat of talking for what I suppose must add up to days of BBC broadcast time and not once say anything interesting or insightful.

That is all.

Evra v Thuram

Intelligent footballers at war with each other?

While the French FA and it's players continue to destroy each other, let's remember this classic line from Manchester United's most erudite player. In response to Lillian Thuram's negative comments we get this beauty

Walking round with books on slavery in glasses and a hat does not turn you into Malcolm X

I'm willing to bet that 90% of the British media's target audience have no idea who Malcolm X was, so it was kind of lost in the Daily Mail of all places. The Mail do know that Malcolm X was a Muslim right? Strange that they mention one without use of the word terrorist or extremist.

Soccer ball II

I have been meaning to re-post this one for a while. Here is evidence that the mainstream US media is still somewhat ignorant about soccer. Theirry Henry interview in which he is named as having just won the World Cup and it is suggested he has moved to New York to avoid racism on the terraces!

Set your cringe factor to 10.

Soccer Ball

Yes this is a real headline, and even though it is tongue in cheek it deserves reprinting.

Pique, Ibrahimovic, reporter's sister love triangle

Zlatan isn't my favourite player, but he sure gives great copy. Questioned about this picture by some sleazy Spanish reporter:

He answers:
"Vente con tu hermana a mi casa y ves si soy maricón"
roughly translated to: "Come to my house with your sister and see if I'm queer."

Now if only he would turn up to a big European game every once in a while...

Vote for a 3rd round FA Cup win

Not sure the story behind this one, but it just shows that 155 people really hate Man Utd more than they love democracy. Scroll down to the candidates!

Memory of Keane and Cantona disgraced...

Don't name your children after footballers. Not only does it sound ridiculous and lead to a childhood of bullying, but they also turn out both stupid and (more awfully) ginger.
