Redknapp To Spurs

So much for staying at Pompey then.....
If I was a Pompey fan I'd be disgusted, he didn't go to Newcastle because he was staying at Pompey for the rest of his career, and now this, a team on the basic edge, lost motivation, in desperate need of a quick change and they grab Redknapp, stabbing Pompey in the back yet again to do this.

Personally I think this is wrong by him, I'd like to see him fail again like he did at Southampton. 

He did Portsmouth well though, winning the FA cup, he made them a great team, I respect this team a lot, I like their style of play too.

But if you ask me, Redknapp has dropped a real screw job on them.

Futurama: Benders big score.

Watched first half of it, it wasn't that good to be honest.

They shouldn't of done movies as apposed to a series, or a series of movies. It doesn't work.

I would've loved another series, then a big movie as apposed to this, this show needed another series, and I mean "proper" series, because of its absense.

Then a proper movie would of gone down very well with me, a proper movie at the cinema's to end it all, maybe with Leela & Fry finally getting together.

This way hasn't worked at all, It's okay don't get me wrong, this just wasn't the way.

Chelsea v Liverpool

This was a good performance by Liverpool, as a Chelsea fan I'm pissed at the result, but this was a good result for Liverpool, we didn't play badly, Liverpool played well.

Brief summary, they didn't hang out, they kept playing at us, not just holding onto it, well done Liverpool.

How to win a Soccer Match

If anyone in the game like myself reads this, see what you think
My ways:
Psychological, there's a mental element to a player, how he feels about his game, himself, and things which generally have no effect, but he thinks they do, like how the played last week, that's a huge play down on the mind of a player, if he thinks they played badly last week he can become down about it, put him off moving on.
Of course, putting your head in the good side, like having had a win in the match before, telling yourself to do better after a loss before. Or in fact telling yourself your team is "better" than the opposition works, a huge part of the performance of a player is in his own mind, and how he feels going into it.

Managerial influence:
Managers have a lot to do in a game, in a big game they are very important to it besides picking the team sheet, they need to know what to say to players, and how to treat different players, certain players will need building up, others bringing down to earth, those who need bringing down will be the "Flashy" players who play well one week and think their gods gift to earth for the next game, when they come in they need to be told they were good, but they need to get their head in this game now, and do just as well last week, not showered in praise.
Those pessimists amongst the team, will need to be brought up, in a nutshell, the opposite of your others. They need to be told their capable of doing this, then drop in the idea that they just have to try harder, after the match you tell them they did well and all is well.

"When everything connects":
My philosaphy. A good match is when everything connects on the field, when everything goes right, and if that happens, the result will come.
That for me, sums it up.

Strong Defense: 
This is always key, I'm not a fan of the theory of "they score 5 we score 6" personally, I believe that a match can be won in a flashy nice "sexy" way, but that is never the priority, the priority is the win, at the end of the day the league doesn't give you points for playing nice.

A team that knows eachother:
Something key in Sports, and indeed anything, is know the people around you, trust them, get along with them, that's how you do well, you play 11 of the best players in the world who don't know eachother against 11 that do but aren't as great, the result will go the the latter.




Premiership Weekend

Blackburn v Boro, Boro have to come back from a 5-0 loss. Being a footballing manager, I can assure you that's not easy. so Blackburn have a psychological advantage on opponents in that field.

Everton United ended up 1-1, they will be ecstatic with a point against the champions. Ferguson is whining, and I imagine in a typical way he'll spark off a problem and we'll see referee's being accused of not treating players right.

Sunderland Newcastle is a big derby, and a big loss for Newcastle, they haven't won a game since August, clearly they have found themselves affected by whats happening off the pitch, I'm sorry but if your stupid enough to allow that to happen then you don't really care about the club at all, Newcastle fans do you really care? Your the reason their losing because you whine and complain of Keegans sacking causing problems affected them on the pitch, and when you get relegated you'll complain some more.

Hull get a big win, you wanna talk about a real team look at Hull, their a great team, no big players, but so well structured and thats why their third in the league, I like these guys, for the obvious reason that a lot of people are starting to.

The big game is tomorrow, top v second, Liverpool have a big challenge but Chelsea have a bigger one, this could send the Blues 3 points top, the home record is huge right now, which could really put pressure on now against a strong club like Liverpool, it'll be hard, but with them in such hard form their favourites, but never rule out Rafa's army.

Man City v Stoke and with all that money they can still only find themselves in 11th place, which to be honest is where they belong really isn't it. Stoke are on a roll since beating Tottenham, if they can continue motivation maybe they could steal a point, cant see a win for Stoke at all though.

Pompey take on Fulham, the ultimate survivor's, who are as normal around the battle at the bottom. Portsmouth are a good team, I've always liked them, I think Redknapp is a good manager, it could be an important 3 points for Pompey if they win, home advantage means I think they will walk out, Fulham haven't won a game since they beat Bolton in early September, I mean, how long before they get relegated and were done with this constant them going down until a miracle comeback?

Tottenham take on Bolton, and for the sake of the difference between Tottenham and a triangle, I hope they lose again. But seriously, I have no clue whats going on in their changing room, my guess from a professional view is lack of motivation given by the manager, Ramos's interest in the Spurs job seems weak, he didn't bother to learn English for quite a while, doesn't seem to care much, motivation, and heading on the downwards spiral which has sucked them in.
Interestingly enough, I read World Soccer earlier this year, saying there were better odds on Sir Alex getting sacked than Ramos, shame I didn't cash in, because right now he's looking like he's going. 

West Ham take on Arsenal, and can anyone seriously say Arsenal aren't going to walk away with 3 points? With a manager like Zola I think West Ham aren't very strong, he is a really nice guy, but not experienced, and not good enough yet. They are costing themselves big time, West Ham have a good side, but with problems off pitch, a manager with no experience and more, their not in a good situation to face Championship contenders Arsenal.

And Villa take on Wigan, this should be a win for Villa the way their looking, a manager like O'Neill. Who by the way, is probably 1 of the best managers in Britain, a team with players like Ashley Young John Carew & co. They are a really strong side, this should be a win unless Wigan pull off a shocker or park the bus.



WWE: Not Good Enough

Watching RAW & Smackdown weekly, I find they are no longer strong enough, they could find themselves losing out if something isn't done to improve it soon.
Take examples.
Another Haas impression, wasting JBL. It was obvious it was JBL as it was last week, I'm not saying I don't find the whole Haas thing funny, but wasting JBL on this, JBL being 1 of the best talkers I can remember in a long time, is pointless.
 
A pointless diva match, Jericho segment where Adamle gets involved, its not good enough right now. 

Divas tag matches make me sick, constant tag matches, normally ending similarly disapoint me, I sometimes struggle to see why we have a Womens champions, but no longer a Cruiserweight one. The womens championship is wasted with women who can't even wrestle, like Candice, and Kelly, who was yet again carried by Jillian and won.

If I was Jillian I'd be asking for my resignation, and seeing if TNA wanted another female wrestler who doesn't have to job to the likes of Kelly Kelly, and sing constantly.

Mike Adamle has yet to entertain me really, he's not remotly as great as Bischoff, Regal or even Coachman (rather embarrasingly) is he supposed to be a heel now? If so he's a lousy one.

And Smackdown, well pulling out a match like Taker v Triple H for the benefit of a new network, what can I say? They wasted it.

Rivalries like Kozlov v Triple H v Jeff Hardy disapoint me, Kozlov coming out like that weekly, and kicking the crap out of Triple H & Jeff Hardy, and ultimately feuding for the WWE championship as his first rivalry, sums up the poor standard in a nutshell.

Kozlov could be a good wrestler, could be, but lets face it, the way he has been used is disgusting. Remember Umaga? He was used rightly, he had actual rivalries (as well as the odd bit of jobbing. The "Kozlov system" of having them job, until the supposedly become eligible WWE contenders, is disgusting, really disgusting.

JAINZ! is out my friends.
