THEATER OF DREAMS
The weekend started off on a good note, The Mancs drew. Before I left I met a despondant MANC Mamoo. The owe was in teh perishaans. He kept on saying that what a Kebaab..that owe that scored for Everton. Again for the MANCS it was the k#4k Darren Fletcher that put them ahead. Well taken goal. I watched the highlights. Surprised that Vidic and Co conceded from a cross. But they got one f#4kn point.and thats what counts.
Whats this I hear that Jose wants to coach the Mancs. Reports say that Jose loves Man Utd and SIR ALEX will retire soon. What do you Mancs have to say. Why are all the owes smsing me and saying Rooney is a MUGG.
And well done Hull City for hammering the Hawthorns for three. Great from a fantasy league perspective
THE ABSA CURRY CUPThe reality of what the Sharks achieved in winning the Absa Currie Cup was still sinking in the for the Sharks coaching duo of John Plumtree and Grant Bashford as they sat at Durban International Airport on Sunday morning.
Currie Cup final time is here! Send us your best fan pics and videos and win big with
TopFan.com. Log on now to share the fun!Plumtree, Bashford and their spouses were on their way to the Seychelles, where in between fishing and swimming, they will probably start to turn their thoughts and conversation to the next challenge that awaits them -- the assault on the big prize that eluded them when they lost last year’s Super 14 final.
While they celebrated their 14-9 win in the Durban final over the Vodacom Blue Bulls into Saturday night, neither Plumtree nor Bashford lost sight of the fact that the Currie Cup is just a stepping stone to Super 14 success. But Plumtree reckons it is an important one for a Sharks team that suffered a terrible psychological blow when they lost the Super 14 trophy last May to a dramatic last minute Bryan Habana try.
“The significance of this game for us was that this Sharks team needed to come to the realisation that it could win a final, that a final was not something that was going to always prove a bridge too far for them,” said Plumtree.
“I know I played down the significance of last year’s game and the other finals that have been lost during the past 12 years to you guys (the media), but I had to do that. It would have been a negative thing had we concentrated too much on what had happened in the past because in reality it has little relevance to today and there is a danger it would increase the pressure.
“But was their pressure in these past two weeks? Of course there was, and personally I can say it was massive. We knew that another defeat in a final would be a severe dent on our confidence ahead of the Super 14, it would prove a massive setback. We were also aware of how much silverware meant to the union and our fans.”
Plumtree’s feeling of relief was accentuated by his own reasonably long history of losing finals as a coach.
“Before last year’s Super 14 final, I had lost three NPC finals in New Zealand as coach of Wellington, so there was my own record in finals to worry about, I didn’t want to start getting the reputation of being a choker,” he grinned.
Asked at the post-match press conference how the Currie Cup achievement would have compared to winning the NPC, he said it would have been about the same.
“But if you watched the New Zealand final on television this morning you would have noticed that they had a crowd of 20-odd thousand, whereas we had a crowd of 50 000,” he added.
Plumtree said that while he would have liked to have won the final “a little differently” he had always felt his team was in control.
“What makes it special for us was that we know what strong opponents the Bulls are, and how good they have been at winning finals themselves. It was a typical final. We were maybe guilty of not taking all our chances, and the pressure would have been less had we done so, but then that tends to happen in finals. At least now the players have the experience of winning one.”
Seth and Azee, Zk..Your Views?
We got to the lodge at about midnight, stayed over in Estcourt. A beautiful lodge. With Estcourt and Weenan surrounded by nature reserves, obviously there were some breathtaking views. Nature at its best.
On Sunday was a glittering function fit for a Hazrat. We were treated to an awesome display of fine food and decor. We took a photo with the chaps and behalf of them we would like to thank Mrs & Mr Hazrat for the great hospitality and warmth....and for a glittering function.
We wish you all the best for the future
While we were at the function, the sms's were flowing which brings me back to my next point
FROM THE KOP END & CHEL$KI
DADAS....WE ARE THEIR DADAS. What does this common phrase in the English language mean. Its when you always one up on someone when it matters the most. Mind you though , you allowed a relapse, aka last years champions league semi. Loks, I know you wont take this well but we are indeed Chelseas Dadas. We always hurt them. Sunday was no exception. I didnt watch the game but I heard from my pundits that Liverpool played a good tactical game. A tactical game that required three points. Score one and put ten men behind the ball to defend, A crucial three points and we are now top. TOP OF THE PREMIERSHIP. I better start getting the cooks and hall venues sorted out or at least start browsing and getting a feeler.
And this was minus Fernando Torres. Interesting point by Rafa. Last year Liverpool only got twop points against teh Big three. This year we have 6 out of 6. We hit Arsenal which is very robabple, its 9 out of 9. That feeling is there. Cisse on the other hand that Liverpool were brilliant in keeping Chelsea from playing their game
ALWAYS A GUNNER
2-0. The litys are staying up there. I spoke to Jive Bhamjee. He said a great Arsenal performance. Well bring the litys to Chelseas Dada's I say
In Serie A, Juve seem to come out of their mini slump in the Turin Derby thanks to a cracker from Amauri. We now travel to Bologna next. Milan won 1-0 and are my favourites for the scudetto. Inter drew o-0 against Genoa and Roma lost 3-1. Fans were rioting at Roma and Spaletti looks like his history.........losing 5 out of 8
In La Liga Madrid and Barcelona won. The game between Atletico and Villareal was a blter.4-4.
Samuel Eto is still prolific and bagged a hatrick. In Bundelsiga Bayern continue with winningways and are now 5 points off the pace
JOSE MOURINHO has amazingly branded Didier Drogba a ‘diver’. Mourinho angrily defended Drogba against accusations of going to ground too easily during his time as Chelsea boss. But the Inter Milan chief has blasted Blues hitman Drog a year after leaving the club. Mourinho, speaking as part of Ford's FeelFootbal campaign, said: “I am no longer Chelsea coach and I do not have to defend them any more, but I think it is correct if I say Drogba is a diver. “Drogba, Ronaldo, Torres and Van Persie are the divers. Who dives more? Who has won more penalties in recent years? “English football criticises divers. In England, coaches teach the kids how to play a game of football but in Italy, Spain and Portugal, coaches teach the kids how to win a game. "When players go England they need to adapt. Drogba today is better than he was before. Ronaldo is better than he was. And Torres will be better too.” But Mourinho doesn't appear to mind so much if the 'dive' is to draw the referee's attention to a legitimate offence. “I hate diving," he said. "But I'm not happy if a player is kicked by somebody in the box and he tries to remain standing. "It’s very, very rare a referee gives a decision if the player doesn’t go down so I tell players not to be naïve, but to be fair.”

Geez, I have dropped down into the thirties. Its tough this year. Faried Saloojee led in midweek, But it was short lived. Yusuf Mayet tops the Best of the Best. Difficult to predict a winner this year. But defending champion Pops has come from the dead and broke the top 10. This man is incredible. My favourite Riyad Loonat is still in the top 10. Its a whole new top 10. Hoosain Mayet boots Ebie Jay out. And a Seth enters the Top 10
