Abigail Clancy Is A Fake WAG [2/2]

In the meantime, we can’t understand why WAGs are so annoyed over apparently nothing. A PR manager linked to Clancy has said that Clancy turned down the offer to be on show months ago. Hey WAGs, check the press.

Staying with our fake WAG, Clancy has revealed that her former boyfriend, Peter Crouch who plays for Liverpool and England dumped her via a fax message. This happened just minutes before she was due to be a guest on the Richard & Judy Show, screened on Channel 4.

She told OK! that just two minutes before she appeared on the show, one of the show’s producers approached her and told her that they had received a fax from Crouch. The fax was the break-up note and therefore she could not say she and Crouch were together.

Clancy was shocked by the note. According to her, she thought that she and Crouch were fine.

Crouch took no chances after breaking up with Clancy. He sent out legal notices to the press informing them he had broken up with Clancy and wanted nothing to do with her because of the cocaine scandal.

The WAG must have really been saddened, but hey, isn’t that supposed to be ‘normal’ in WAG’s life? You hook up and get dumped all the time. Currently, the former WAG is on the show Britain’s Next Top Model. I am very sure that soon she will be in the press again with new fish on her hook. Happy fishing!

Abigail Clancy Is A Fake WAG [1/2]

WAGs in England are biting their nails and many feel like strangling Abigail Clancy after she was selected to audition for Footballers’ Wives’ Boutique, a new TV show. Clancy was Peter Crouch’s girlfriend. Pictures appeared in the tabloids of her sniffing cocaine and the couple split up shortly after.

Now will the real WAGs please stand up? Carly Zucker, Charlotte Mears, Coleen McLoughlin and Alex Curran are fuming on hearing of Clancy being given a spot in auditions.  The show that is giving these WAGs some sleepless nights has two WAG teams competing against each other, but not playing football as their husbands do. No! They have to choose the best boutique and the winner gets a ₤150,000 prize for charity. That is really some physical work that requires skills and agility. Just like football!!

No WAG can rest easy now that Clancy has been suggested for the role. It is reported that all WAGs hate Clancy. One WAG, however, does not seem bothered by her rivals. She is Charlotte Meares. Meares is confident that her educational background of 11 GCSE and A-levels will give her the upper hand.

I hope she knows mathematics is only thing that counts in the show. How will you apply geography to shopping? Maybe to determine the location of boutique! No one seems to know yet.

YAHYA TOURE PREDICTS BARCA WILL LIFT TITLE

Barcleona midfield dynamo GneriYahya Toure has tipped Barcelona to lift La League title ahead of archrivals Real Madrid.

Toure was one of the most dependable players for blaugrana in the past season and he was Frank Rijkaard’s automatic routine choice to start in the position. The arrival of Seydou Keita from Sevilla in summer appears to have changed this state of affairs and he is struggling to be in the first team.

The Ivorian international acknowledged that he was not indispensable to team and that he was willing to fight to break back into squad’s preferred line-up. He said that he respected Pep Guardiola’s decision not to include him in the first eleven. Toure added that it was only professional for him to work hard and therefore play more.

On new La Liga season ahead, Yahya Toure sounded very optimistic about Barcelona’s title hopes even in the face of quality opposition. He noted that during the summer Nou Camp had received a number of fine quality players and therefore team was unlikely to fail in its quest for title. The victory would not only be for team but also for fans.

The lanky midfielder admitted that perennial rivals Real Madrid were again their main rivals for success in La Liga. Toure noted that Madrid had a lot of great players and they were always a formidable team to play. Barcelona though, according to Toure, was also brimming with quality to beat Los Blancos. He predicted a torrid season for Madrid.

Americans are Mediocre Soccer Players [2/2]

The truth is that most Americans hate the sport. They did not create it, they are not very good at it and so many countries in the world are better than the U.S. Thus, the American people show little interest. The question is:  who would be interested in a sport that they hardly ever win? Therefore, this overwhelming reality makes Americans inclined to do what anyone else would do when faced with something they don’t know — simply turn their back to it.

Ordinarily, whenever someone in the family is not good at a sport, you tend to try to help them out so they can get better. This is not the case with the Americans and soccer. The rest of the world is not so kind with Americans when it comes to sport of soccer. The world mocks them instead of training them and coaching them. Furthermore,  Americans have reputation for not following WADA rules concerning performance-enhancing drugs. The World Anti-Doping Agency enforces very strict regulations that almost all sports must adhere to, including soccer. The world teams are all accustomed to spot drug testing while the American sports, on the other hand, play by their own rules. The fact is that American sports players feature more drug abuse than global sports players do. The Americans enjoy having cheerleaders on the sidelines while soccer does not adhere to any distractions. The game focuses completely on the players’ the moves, which is the most exciting aspect of the game.

Americans are Mediocre Soccer Players [1/2]

Soccer is considered one of the most popular sports in the world today. The Americans seem to be mediocre when it comes to playing, although they are geared with a winning mentality. When it comes to playing soccer, the problem with most Americans is that they do not value the sport like other nations in the world. The American people prefer handball games rather than football games. The preferred sports are baseball, football, ice hockey, golf and basketball instead of the traditional soccer, which is the popular sport played around the world. The Americans refuse to call the game by its rightful name ‘football’ and instead named the sport soccer. You really cannot have two sports with the same name and American football has already taken top place.

The difference that breaks are introduced into a sport may possibly be another reason why Americans do not readily accept the sport. The idea of a sport that takes ninety minutes to play and offers only one break, while American games play longer with many breaks, is perhaps the most unappealing aspect of the sport. The American public uses too many breaks during a game. For instance, basketball has four quarters while baseball has its regular breaks with batters coming in and out. The American football game is a stop-start game. Additionally, in golf you hit a ball a couple hundred yards and then you walk towards it, giving Americans plenty of time for their cherished breaks.

The Million Pound Question: Who Will Win the Barclays Premier League? [2/2]

Will anyone be able to shake the big four up and manage to get into the Champions League in Europe by finishing fourth or better? Aston Villa played well helped, no doubt, by some sloppy play on the part of Manchester City. The Spurs were unceremoniously given a defeat by Middleborough whilst Portsmouth was hammered badly at Stamford Bridge.

The Blackburn Rovers, the only team to have broken the monopoly of the big three (Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United) to win the Premier League, once were impressive against Everton and dealt them a blow.

A mention should also be made about referees who, during the first weekend of matches, did a commendable job and got things right most of the time. It seems like the players have also changed their ways because there were less of those haranguing sessions with players arguing needlessly with referees.

On current form, Chelsea has shown the rest of the Barclays Premier League teams that they mean business. They were, by far, the most impressive team and played to the best of their ability. The goal by Deco summed up the game; it was powerful, well-directed, and unstoppable.

Arsenal played their usual attractive football and the goal that they scored was a showpiece for the beautiful game. However, the team is mostly comprised of boys and whether they can lock horns with the men from Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and the other physically strong sides in the league is a moot question.

The Million Pound Question: Who Will Win the Barclays Premier League? [1/2]

Now that the first instalment of the Barclays Premier League has been completed and the first results have come in, one might want to make an educated guess as to which team is best placed to win the title this season. The hottest contender would, no doubt, be current champions, Manchester United, who will have to do strong battle with last year’s runner-up, Chelsea.

The million pound question is whether or not Manchester United is strong enough, convincing enough, and mentally tough enough to retain the title for a third consecutive year and get their eighteenth overall title. Solid as Manchester United may look on paper; after the first round, they only managed a draw after coming from behind.

Another question that must be at the top of most people’s minds would be who is going to be relegated and whether teams, such as Newcastle, will still end up facing a struggle staying afloat in the Premier League? After their first (and very difficult) match away to Manchester United, they may have silenced some of their critics with a credible draw after enjoying a brief period in the ascendancy.

The third important question that needs to be answered is whether Arsenal and Liverpool will, in fact, play a major role in the title chase? Both teams scored narrow wins in their opening matches though both looked rather out of sync. Nevertheless, a win is a win, so they, too, may have silenced some of their critics.

Adebayo Commits Future to Gunners and Signs Extended Contract

The Togolese striker’s future was the subject of speculation as he was linked with a move away from the Emirates. Emmanuel Adebayo was being pursued by Barcelona and AC Milan as the Arsenal hit-man was demanding a raise in pay. After scoring thirty goals for the Gunners last season, there was no hiding place for the striker. Arsene Wenger stated before taking holidays in Sussex that he found it difficult to dissuade suitors from chasing his prized asset. Italy giants AC Milan openly express their admiration for the Togolese International and Arsenal forward and were ready to bring him to the San Siro along with Mathew Flamini who left Arsenal for AC Milan this summer. However, getting Adebayo was not going to be an easy ride as was the case of Flamini, but the asking fee placed on the Togolese forward scared the Rossoneri out of the race for the striker.

Barcelona followed suit as their interest in the Togolese hit-man died down because of the huge fee demanded by the Gunners, which was said to be in the region of £30 million, and could not be met by either Barcelona or AC Milan. The Italian giant whose recent acquisition of Ronaldinho this summer was their major signing were not ready to spend that much and Arsenal had to hold onto their jewel.

A few for Hughes’s mind [2/2]

Anton Ferdinand: Manchester City has a poor defence. Even though they have decent defenders they just don’t seem to gel as well as most Premier League defences. Ferdinand did not want to leave West Ham but he was sold against his wishes. As a professional he has handled the matter with little fuss, but he would prefer to be playing at a club with players like Robinho and Sean Wright Phillips. A move for him would prove to be shrewd business for Hughes because he needs to shore up his defence.

Gianluigi Buffon: it has been reported that Hughes is looking at the Italian stopper for a January transfer, but I don’t think he needs him. Joe Hart is a good goalkeeper and can only get better. Buffon has won a lot and is a higher profile player. This may be why the suits at City are looking at him, but they would be doing harm to Hart and his future with City. He is the sort of player that a club should be built around not cast away.

Lukas Podolski: City is not short of attacking talent, but the more competition a club has, the better it will function. The likelihood of a player wanting a move to City is slim to none. Podolski is having trouble getting into the Munich starting eleven, and may be looking for a club where he can play every week in the starting eleven. He would be a good compliment for Robinho and Santa Cruz if City gets the Paraguayan.

A few for Hughes’s mind [1/2]

With the January transfer season fast approaching, managers are already scrambling for deals. Those that can afford it are getting their money together, and those that are in the poor house are getting ready to watch from afar, wishing they were in a better position. Of all the managers, Manchester City’s Mark Hughes will be under the microscope. With all the money in Hughes’s sack, he can afford to get better players than he was used to at Blackburn. Here are some players that he has in mind and some that he should go for:

Luis Fabiano: Sevilla’s best forward by far is a player who would like to be playing with his Brazilian counterparts in the Premier League. Fabiano is a slick forward. He gets away with a lot of cheeky moves but when it comes down to the business of putting the ball in the back of the net Fabiano is up for the job. Premier League defenders are going to have a tough time trying to keep this player under wraps, which will mean a lot of goals for Manchester City.

Roque Santa Cruz: Mark Hughes already knows this player from his time with Blackburn. Ever since Hughes has left the club, Santa Cruz has looked like a shadow of the player he was last season. You get the feeling that he no longer enjoys his football at Blackburn. He is a good player and may be a good replacement for Jo, who can’t seem to score a goal to save his life. Santa Cruz needs to be rejuvenated and I’m sure Hughes would like to work with him again.
