A brief interlude from the ElectionFollow

So Manchester United sign a new Iraqi player from Baghdad. . .

It's his first game in the Man U coloUrs at their home Stadium in Manchester.

With 10 minutes left, his team are 4-0 down against Chelsea.

Somehow, the Iraqi scores 5 goals and is the hero of the day.

Straight after the match he calls his mother to express his joy.

"Mom! I scored 5 goals and won the game single-handedly!"

"Well that's all fine for you! Today your father was shot dead and me and your sister were raped, you selfish son of a camel!"

"Sorry Mom, but how's that my fault?"

"It was your idea for us to move to Manchester!"


Brrum-psssh

or maybe /tumbleweed

See? This is a great idea, I tell you. I'm going to start collecting and selling those things.

Where's my atlas, I gotta figure out where Wile E. Coyote comes from...

Thanks for that, now can I ask you a question about your football teams?

I need someone to explain to me why Hull City is even close to the top of the tables. Shouldn't you guys be testing urine or something over this? WTF is a division 4 team even doing in that league?


TBA I think this is one of the best team stories in a long time. Kudo's to Hull City and I hope they stick near the top all season!

It's a mystery to me.

I don't follow the game at all, and on the main news, they only tend to report on Premiership teams. When I heard Hull mentioned, I was "wtf?" No clue how they got there.

Red might now

No just fever i think i'm sick i'm gonna go take some stuff to try and break it and go to sleep.

I'm not even slightly a soccer football fan, but I would say that for pure boring, its hard to beat (in no particular order)

Baseball.

Gridiron.

Golf.

A mediocre game of soccer football would be more fun to watch than any of those by miles.

Hope Obama bans all of them actually.

Shows how interested I am lol...I thought that game you all play in the US with all the body armour and helmets and a lot of starting and stopping and stuff was called gridiron...

We play something similar called 'cricket' wich is almost as boring, but goes on for 5 days so you get a chance to get with the flow....

Its supposed to confuse you colonials. Thats the point of cricket. Or do you mean croquet. Wich is probably French and isn't really a sport either.
