in haiku form:
a crespo header
as swift as a hunting hawk
robben's quick winner
he's back from the dead
two goals from his head so high
poor the sad toffees
sleep, sleep, sleep soundly
as the game goes on you sleep
and roy breaks his foot
city tries and tries
but lady luck is not there
handball for big sam
oh the spurs we jest
eight in the midfield packed full
without rippling nets

week 7 & 8 of ligue 1
ajaccio
awww our first loss of the season! and against auxerre who have been having a torrid time of late! and we even scored first and it was called back for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. b*stards.
and my cutie pieroni has a bobo-like miss. bless his cute little head. we at least bounce back with a point in midweek and are still in the top half of the table. if we can remain there until christmas, i'd be amazed and ecstatic.
st. etienne
they may have had a great 3-0 win over psg at the weekend but then they also lose for their first time at midweek against nancy!! nancy who are in 18th place! and it breaks their run of 1534 minutes of not conceeding a goal at home. damn. no wonder janot is my french fantasy league keeper. what happened to that brilliant backline we saw against psg??
lyon & psg
so that leaves lyon as the only unbeaten team in france but these past two games have only been draws while psg at least have a win and a loss and are now 2 points behind lyon in the table. and how cute is landrin (psg) with his spikey hair lately? lyon should consider themselves lucky after that bordeaux game: 2 handballs in the box that were not called against lyon and their defense looked shakier than it has been all season.
monaco
poor poor monaco. they lose over the weekend and then deschamps quits which throws everything into chaos. all the credit in the world to them for managing a win in midweek. the game against nice this coming weekend should help them continue rebuilding. you just hate to see prince albert looking all unhappy in the stands, now don't you?

week 3 & 4 of serie a
roma roma roma
at least it was a point against livorno & there were some fancy totti moves that i just love to watch. and then it gets better at home against parma! nonda scores twice and pannucci & totti make it a proper rout. have i mentioned how much i love the youngsters lately? curci, bovo, rosi, aquilani.... add in veteran de rossi at the ripe old age of 22 and this is a team that can become something to cheer about for years to come.
milan
a crisis this early in the season??? milan lose to sampdoria (and the only goal they manage to score was actually offside) but then get it together enough to beat lazio. ahaahahahahahaa. sheva had a very nice goal. no paolo on the pitch but we get to see him watching from the stands and even celebrating the goals. ah bless.
and damn, he's hot.
fiorentina
but not as hot as luca toni (for me, at least). he scores twice against udinese and has an assist for fiore and then scores again against lecce. his thighs are really really lovely.
no, really. he's so freaking tall!
oh and lecce were awfully cute when they scored and then all ran to hug the coach. how often do you see that?
inter
mmm. cruz all wet and with his shirt off is not a bad sight. trust me. 2 wins in these 2 games - nothing spectacular, but 6 points will keep the grumbling at bay for now.

fiorentina

week 2 of La liga
deportivo v atletico madrid
diego tristan, did you really shave a number 9 onto your head? why would you ever think that was a good idea? we can already see that you are number 9 from your jersey.
madrid were robbed! that depor goal at the end came in the 94:36 minute of 4 minues extra time (see the problem there?) and a depor player took out one of the madrid defenders in the box during the corner kick. i call foul.
real madrid v celta de vigo
speaking of foul....... both madrid sides were hard done by this past weekend. in a reverse of the famous spurs goal last season, celta score a goal that didn't go over the line. no complaints on the first goal - that was just the fault of the usual terrible madrid defending. once again, casillas does more than his fair share of defensive duties and makes a fantastic save on a celta penalty but couldn't get the rebound.
barcalona v mallorca
bad week for mallorca. no nonsense barca win this one with all kinds of nonsense from mallorca: 2 red cards for them and one of the boys dares to slap puyol in the face before making his way off! even though his hair is way too big, that's no reason to slap him!

week 2 of Serie A
roma v udinese
it was just one of those days. we didn't play badly, we just didn't have luck on our side. totti alone had 2 chances in the box that should have been goals that somehow he missed. oh, and cassano comes in & shows off his football talent to distract us from his toublemaking talents. i would be less depressed if it wasn't our first home game that we lost.
at least the new ball was flashy.
messina v fiorentina
have i mentioned luca toni lately? how pretty he is? how he's been in great form lately? oh yeah, and then there is the footballing aspect........
oh, where was i? yes, toni. who scored again and had other chances and set up fiore for what would have been a lovely goal. fiorentina were cruising 2-0 and then they just seemed to lose focus and let messina back in the game. maybe they were frightened by messina's keeper. did you see his hair??? that will be give me nightmares for weeks!
palermo v inter
great freakin game from palermo - the fans were lovin it! seeing a game like this makes me want to go live in palermo & have a season ticket. bonus: the cute pink shirts
inter are a mess in the back without zanetti & adriano is anonymous so it's not that big of a surprise when palermo are up 3-0. the surprise was that inter did not manage one of their famous comebacks for a draw. good for palermo. and santana is kinda cute.

week 6 of ligue 1
marseille finally win, auxerre continues to lose & the same three teams continue to be unbeaten... st. etienne and....
ajaccio v nancy
another win for the corsicans! my haze of incredulous happiness continues. a nice header from lucas (who will be snapped up by a bigger club next season) seals the second win of the season for ajaccio. they still need to finish more of their chances but i won't start complaining yet.
lyon v monaco
the lyon fans welcome new boy fred with a lovely display of a giant brasilian flag. fred is so touched that he scores twice: in the fitst 5 minutes or so of each half. now that's the way to endear yourself to the fans. oh, and monaco, was buttercup the colour you were going for with the new away kit? pale gold? i think non. at least dechamps looked smart in his cute little monaco polo as his team was losing.

week 5 of the EPL
middlesbrough v arsenal
wow. lots of hair issues during this match. first and foremost: why is there a muppet on the head of xavier? and i think a few of the arsenal boys went to the barbershop before this game and had a trim. does your contract with l'oreal allow that robert? and hey, who knew queudrue was cute underneath that horrible hair! see what good hair v bad hair can do to a boy? anyway, a performance that gunner fans will want to forget: all flash, no results. there was a definite struggle to make anything happen near the box without their dear titi. what a shame..... AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
*wipes tears of laughter from eyes*
tottenham v liverpool
an actual entertaining 0-0: end to end play, lots of shots, disallowed goals for both sides and the real star of the show: cisse's hair. what exactly is that on top of his head? bird droppings? and why is it on his chin as well?
newcastle v fulham
mickey owen's first outing. and the midget doesn't score.
*checks william hill* what are those odds on souness being the first manager to be scaked this season?

internationals
italy: scotland almost shocked italy by leading for an hour but grosso saved azzurri blushes. we almost answer the burning question: how many glaring misses can bobo have in one game??? luckily, the italians woke up & my new imaginary boyfriend Toni scored a hattrick against Belarus. mmmmmmm Luca Toni.
england: after doing the bare mininmum against wales (deflected joey cole goal/almost own goal) things get worse for england: they lose to northern ireland. (yes, you hear the cheers of the scots after their draw against the italians and their WIN AWAY at norway and then this delightful defeat). the press are baying for sven's head and no one fails to miss hothead rooney's reaction (he even has to be calmed down during the game). oh, it gets worse. apparently things are so happy-go-lucky in the england camp that rooney reportedly lashed out at halftime and told rio ferdinand to "f*ck off", told his captain becks to "f*ck off you flash b*stard" and then tells assistant coach steve mcclaren to "f*ck off you c*nt".
what a nice boy.
usa: they take their revenge with a 2-0 win against a pedestrian mexican side sweetened by the fact that this result sends them to the world cup. nice work & goal from beasley, yet again.
other notes: mutu is back! his 2 goals against the czechs give romanians a shock win. it's a shame that it's already too late for them. france's old guard help them secure a win over the mighty faroe islands and a beautiful strike from titi (henry to the rest of you) breaks irish hearts. adriano's 2nd hattrick in a week sends brazil to germany while africa is where all the action is: togo and ghana at the world cup?? the ivory coast almost there but then cameroon (spurred on by promises of eto'o's money) claim victory and take control of the group while tunisia & morocco duke it out for the last spot.

Week 5 of Ligue 1
Marseille v Ajaccio
my corsicans managed to get a dodgy penalty & therefore, are still unbeaten (!!!) after 5 games which, after their terrible marking for the Marseille goal, is a miracle frankly. and Barthez does not need to hurry back after his spitting ban.... the replacement keeper is a cutie!
Auxerre v Lyon
oh dear. my cutie Pieroni made a terrible tackle & was lucky to only see a yellow rather than a red card! ouch. these boys need to sort themselves out. and quickly... before santini's eyes pop out of his head.
maybe it was Carew's hair - it's a weird slim spikey mohawk & the sides have a strange zigzaggy pattern shaved in.... yes, it's as strange as it sounds.

Week 1 of Serie A
Roma Roma Roma! one for each goal! and away from home. and Cassano pouting on the bench. i know i know... just let me bask in this until week 2.
Livorno v Lecce
Livorno looked good..... oh, except for those AWFUL rainbow kits. no, really, they have rainbow kits. at least Palladino is a cutie & had a lovely goal to distract me.
Fiorentina v Sampdoria
let's talk about Luca Toni. he's tall & hot & was everywhere during this game - an assist for Fiore's goal & then his own from a penalty that he won making yet another run into the box. *sigh* he is my new pretend footballer boyfriend.
and yay! the Sampdoria coach gets the honour of being the first to be sent off from the sidelines this season. surprise surprise - it's usually Capello.
Adriano v Treviso
oh, did I mean Inter?
hattrick the first day??? maybe all the folks predicting a Scudetto for the blue half of Milan this season know something.... can you imagine it? I'm not too sure how the long-suffering Inter fans would even react... tears of joy or total disbelief?
