International Week (Yawn!)

No domestic football this weekend and not much at all to talk about in the 'Pool world.  Things got pretty desperate indeed, and I found myself turning to the club website for any crumb of LFC news I could find.  I might has well have stuck my penis in a hair dryer, for all the fun that was.   The major headline on the website was an article claiming that Mauricio Pellegrino believes the Liverpool-United rivlalry to be the biggest in the world. Wow, that's Breaking News. Now, I didn't actually read the piece, so maybe I'm giving it short shrift. 

More promising was this: A Chat with Pepe and Fernando. Alright.  Here we go. Two of our key players talking nitty gritty. Maybe I'll get some insight into the goings on at the club, the new signings, Rafa's rotation policy....

Here's a sample exchange:

FT: Yes, we both like to spend time at home, watching matches, films and TV in general...
 
PR: We don't like the same genre of films though. If it is not based on real life or if the story line is not very believable, then you are not much of a fan.
 
FT: I only enjoy fact based films, or films that could happen in real life. But you don't like video games, preferring to play golf or tennis. You play the odd car game, but that is about it. Thank God Arteta comes by once in a while to play. 
 
Me: I like to eat the pizza. Of pepperoni I am also a fan. Say, you guys want to do some blow?

Ok. I made that last part up.  But Christ, can these guys be any more boring? I mean seriously. Here we have two football players, in their professional and physical primes, and the best they can do is talk about barbecues getting snowed out and who cheats at board games? 

Like most men, I entertain certain fantasies. And in the fantasy parallel trajectory of my life, the one where I don't choose to study Economics and toil away in front of a computer for ten hours a day, there are two main plot lines.  One involves joining a Clash-inspired punk band, chasing skirt,  and travelling the world; the other is playing football for Liverpool, chasing skirt, and travelling the world.  After reading that crap, I'm considering striking the second one from my list.  Pepe and Nando apparently play video games and watch TV. Shit! I can do that!  How about getting out once in a while and talking to a girl or two, lads? Do it for us!
