Monday morning funnies

Its the off season so there isn't really much happening in the trendy game of football, well the women's world cup has just started so that might be getting some posts on the blog once Luke decides to wake up from Hibernation but until then let me start off your shitty week with my two favorite videos so far this Monday morning.

The first one is the new Wii advert featuring the Redknapp family,personal favorite is when big man Harry questions who inked him like any of us do when we play Mario cart with the mates and his missus, not pictured is when Harry's pimp hand comes out when he finds out twas precisely that missus that inked him that later on proclaims "I love beating you.. chuckle" I didn't know they had Wii's in the kitchen, apologies for that, it's still early here in Melbourne



Next is a clip from the English U-21 teams training ground which shows you that no matter how shit your morning is, it can't be as bad as that guys. Not only did he get smacked in the face, but the damn ball didn't even go in!, great jump by the goalie though, too bad he missed the ball and did absolutely nothing, but I guess he can join a great line of English keepers there.

Justin Bieber's private training session with Barcelona

I know what you are thinking, and I thought the same. why doesn't Bieber stick to the WNBA? And it is becoming ridiculous how easy it is to get a training session if you happen to have the right name or know the right people. I will also admit that I am jealous, there is no doubt about that, i mean if Barca called me and was like Hey wanna have a kick around with Bojan, I'd be on the next plane, not before complaining why I can't play with a better player than Bojan but that's another story.



So let me get to the point, besides the fashion statement turtleneck that Justin is spotting, the boygirl actually does alright, now I don't know if he actually plays football (he/she would be calling is soccer I'm guessing) and if he/she is left footed but that strike looks decent to me and the ball control ain't bad neither. So as much as it pains me to say, well done Bieber. The kid also showed some Balls playing football in Madrid wearing the full Barca outfit, I mean he's got bodyguards and stuff but I hear people have been killed for lesser reasons.

Eric Abidal Accusing Pique of handball

For those of you that didn't know Eric Abidal had an operation to remove a tumor from his liver, the operation was successful and he is now back at training with Barcelona. While he was away Gerald Pique scored a goal against Villareal which he dedicated to his teammate Abidal, nice guy huh. You and I would probably have tears in our eyes if a teammate dedicated a goal for us while we are sick (that is assuming that your teammates do score...) not so Abidal though, first thing he does is walk over and (jokingly, judging by the facial expressions) accuses Pique of Handball. The amazing thing is, if you watch the video of the goal, you could say there was a handball but there wasn't Pique controlled the ball amazingly, which makes the heckling by Abidal even better. Not too sure who shot that ball at the end of the short clip, but my guess is that him and Pique are BFF's and he/she (Shakira what are you doing at training?!) wasn't having Abidals jabbering. Just another proof to show you that footballers aren't all arrogant and self obsessed A**... (no let's keep the first post of this new blog clean, we can slip into our ways later on) and definitely put Abidal and Pique far up on my "I think that guy would be a good Bar buddy" Ranking, perhaps we should have a Top Ten Bar buddy ranking every fortnight (Just saying).
