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?

Week 1 of La Liga
Round 1 of Real Madrid v Barca
*ding ding ding* this round goes to Madrid - Robinho looks ready to take the superstar role away from Ronaldinho but let's also give credit to the Alaves keeper. oh and the Cadiz fans who were awesome.
Athletic Bilbao v Real Sociedad
the first basque derby & my bilbao boys get an emphatic win - with a very nice goal by Llorente who happens to be a cutie.
Valencia v Real Betis
speaking of cuties.... the fantastic Aimar goal that won this one was almost overshadowed by the Betis 2nd keeper's hair.... shiny, dark, straight & short on the sides and tapering off into a long tail down the back.... *shudders*

Week 4 of the EPL
Man City & Charlton love
2nd & 3rd in the table, no losses, playing good football, both with solid teams & solid managers but no superstars...... this is what makes the league fun to watch.
Spurs v Chelsea
have I mentioned how much I love Del Horno? we'll need him to continue scoring goals like that now that Terry is out for a month at least *sobs* and did anyone else notice Crespo fluffing his hair on the sidelines while waiting to be subbed on?
Sunderland & Newcastle pity
bless. one is the only professional team in England to not have a point yet & one hasn't been able to score a goal yet.
stop your sniggering in the back.

European games
just a few thoughts...
Champions League: poor Everton. they fought a brave fight & Arteta had a nice goal but Villareal was just too strong. maybe they will have a better chance in the UEFA cup. Man Yoo, Inter, Ajax, & the Pool went through without any problems. Real Betis overcame Monaco to reach the group stage of the CL for the first time in their history a feat for Udinese as well. Congrats to both - I like underdogs (as long as they don't stand in the way of my boys in blue & their march to the final ;-) ).
Intertoto Cup
the match in Europe with all the action was one of the three finals in this competition: Marseille v Deportivo had 3 red cards, 10 yellows, 6 goals & a bust up in the tunnel at halftime! now that's some european action! (Marseille won the battle & move on to the Uefa Cup to join another french club, Lens)

Week 4 of Ligue 1
Auxerre, Auxerre, Auxerre! What happened??!!! 7 goals conceeded??!! I thought, ok, you were down to 8 men & had your third choice keeper and it was hailing. But, no. None of those things happened. You just had a bad bad day and Lens had a fanf*ckingtabulous day. And my cuite Pieroni gets a yellow card on top of it! Merde.
Toulouse v St. Etienne
Moreira not only has his good looks but his fantastic freekicks to keep my eye on him....... consider him my latest french hottie.
Ajaccio v Le Mans
My little corsicans missed chance after chance and could only manage a scoreless draw at HOME. This is not good. This is not how to stay in the top 10 or even in the top flight. It's early in the season but I hope this is not a sign of what's to come. *worried*

Week 2 & 3 of the EPL
Chelsea here, Chelsea there, Chelsea everyf*ckinwhere
OK, so we won by a lucky goal against an Arse that played poorly but we woke up against West Brom: nice Frankie goals - the new father - & a sweet baby celebration by all the boys; and wow - Joey Cole went from summer highlights to a Frankie-wannabe no-hair do...... can you please bring back your cute spikey hair Joey? I think new boy Del Horno has been a solid player in both games. And where did Titi disappear to during the Chelsea game? Jenny actually thought he was subbed off after not seeing him for the most of the second half!
Arsenal v Fulham
At least Titi showed up for this game..... even if he began by "winning" a penalty Pires-style within the first 10 minutes. Oh sweet justice when Lauren's shot was saved! But Captain Fantastic came back in style in the second half with 2 goals. Poor Fulham, they started off so brightly - penalty saved & scoring first.... I thought it was going to Chris Coleman's day.
Spurs Love
I've heard the requests, so here it is.... I am impressed. Great start to the season, a great coach, some amazing strikers.... little Mickey Owen better watch out - if he can't get a game, Defoe is going to steal his England spot; just check out his fantastic goal against Middlesbrough. A point away from home against Blackburn & ahead of Arse in the tables = best beginning of the season ever for all you Spurs fans out there. No wonder I chose Robinson for my fantasy football goalkeeper!
Liverpool v Sunderland
yay! Luis Garcia got a hiarcut & he's as cute as ever! Wish I could say the same about Cisse's hair......... at least I was distracted by the lovely freekick from Xavi.
