One of the three members of the panel who will select Sven Goran Erikssons replacement as the new  England Football manager is an ignoramus of the highest order. Dave Richards the CHAIRMAN of the Premier League has lost the plot. Check out the article on the BBC where he claims:

We are the biggest nation in the world that plays this game and we want someone who can really move us on!

Oh yeah, really? Spoken like a true cro-magnon man from a council estate somewhere in England (under 60 mil people). Actually Davey boy have you given any thought to countries like Germany (80 mil), France (over 60 mil), Brazil (186 mil), Mexico (100 mil), Nigeria (100+ mil) etc etc all of whom are far bigger than the muddy little island you call home. Get a grip, get a life and get yourself a foriegn coach!

I dunno what it is about the mixture of Alcohol and Small Man Syndrome (which I definitely don’t have) but I always get the urge to put large people on my shoulders! I usually do it without any step-up aid and attempt the dead man lift! Now if you think I’m calling Grayskull large then, well, then you’d be right. If he wasn’t training for the Iron Man which requires fitness levels close to Ben Johnson’s at the Seoul Olympics, then in an attempt to play nice I’d probably call him girthy. Now lifting the half-pint (my size) Salmonator would have been easier, in fact, you NOW have permission to leave this site and head to the Salmonators new blog and see the photo I’m talking about, check it out.

The greatest competion in the world started this morning with a surprise, the Hurricanes smashed the Blues in the first upset of the tourney!

Tonight I’m off to the Walkabout in Watford with Dom to watch the Cheetahs v Bulls and then tomorrow after the snowboarding crew reunion braai we’re gonna get ready for a Shark Attack at O’neills in Putney!!

My anticipation of a great sharks result this year is immense. I fully expect the boys in black to rip the rest of the SA teams apart. We have some key players out at the moment, but once the Springbok captain returns, Tony Brown starts at flyhalf, Butch moves to inside centre and Brent Russell starts firing alongside our talented wings then we’ll have a team to shout about. My dark horses for this competion are the Chiefs and The Sharks.

Saw this Sharks training jersey on the internet, its the ducks nuts but its out of stock in the UK and not on the official website in Durban. If anyone knows how to get one then please let me know, there may be a finders fee involved!
