Sometimes, people want things for the name brand. Why Honda when there’s Lexus? Why Fossil when there’s Movado? And in Carlos Tevez’s case, why any other club in Europe that would give him ample room to showcase his talents, when there’s Manchester United?
It’s almost staggering to hear that the Argetine footballer promising to commit five more years, while his club can’t give him a permanant deal, or decent playing time. Setting aside the argument of Berbatov being worth his field time (he is, in his own way), Tevez is an animal on the pitch. Why Fergie has some tift against him is beyond comprehension. In in pinch, Tevez can get the job done. And it will be in his favor if that work comes from another club.
Manchester United left Stamford Bridge with only one point Sunday in their match against Chelsea, whose undefeated streak at home remains at a high 85 games. Struggling to gain their usual strong footing on the Premiership League tables with many of their starters out due to injury, the 1-1 draw against the Blues further demonstrated the club’s inability to succeed during these first few games of the season. Six total bookings against Man U saw their top boys – Scholes, Ferdinand, Neville, Berbatov, Rooney, Evra, and Ronaldo – all with yellow cards, leading to an automatic fine issued by the Football Association in the amount upwards of £25,000.
It’s a given that managers need to stand by their team through thick and thin. But, it’s almost startling to hear Sir Alex Feguson find nothing wrong with quality of his player’s performance, specifically to the plays leading to their bookings. Both Neville and Rooney’s tackles had 0 traces of defendable justification, while Ronaldo’s arrogant demeanor towards the official’s call shows little class to his immense talent. Sir Alex should book himself a trip to the eye doctor. Though both sides did not play to their potential, clearly Ferguson had not seen the same 90 minutes that everyone else had.
Will Ferrell appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night, promoting his new movie Step Brothers. Him not wearing any flashy suit or “business casual” attire certainly did not surprise me. But, when Ferrell walked out onto the stage, check out what London football club jersey he was sporting:
I’ll admit that my relationship with Ferrell has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride.
Old School: awesome.
Anchorman: tolerable.
Talladega Nights: atrocious.
But, being a Chelsea supporter has certainly boosted his stock. John C. Reilly though has a lot of catching up to do. He looks like a West Ham man, to me.
