The Friday Junk Pile
By: chris | October 24th, 2008Every weekend we tend to find ourselves with random junk on our computers which isn’t quite worth throwing away, but isn’t quite worth posting about. Problem, meet solution.
Are you a woman? Do you like football? Do you really like football? Your accessories have arrived.
* – Not that you have to be a woman. But if not just, you know, keep it to yourself.
How to whiff on a sitter and redeem yourself all in the same second in Romania. (Difficulties with embed, apologies.)
Speaking of Romania, they have quite possibly the best sponsor of any league in the history of history.
Clearly they picked up a sweet tooth after last year.
Looks like they’re just making their way around the supermarket. Sneak preview of next year’s logo:
Be prepared to lose hours upon hours of your life. Forvo is a little website with pronunciations for all kinds of people, places, things, etc. This is football Forvo, where random people submit correct (most of the time) pronunciations of names involved with football. A lot of people.
You can blame it on us if your boss finds out.
A classic Wikipedia screenshot, courtesy of Alan Smith:
As you might expect, the excerpt has disappeared, taken away by user gimmeballondorandtakemetomadridimsexy7.
The king of the own-half goal, Roger.
(Can’t find the third he scored in the same calendar year.)
And of course, Senna. (Technically, yes, in the other half. Details.)
Omitting Xabi Alonso in the hopes that he’ll feel left out and make another contribution to the cause this weekend.
Odd Odds of the Week, from Paddy Power:
Joey Barton Vs Sunderland Specials
Barton to be booked: 7/4
Barton to be first player booked: 9/1
Barton to score and be booked; 20/1
Barton to be sent off: 33/1
Any Sunderland player sent off for a foul on Barton: 66/1
Love how there’s a “Barton to score and be booked”, but no “Barton to score”. No one has any faith in the boy going unscathed. And where are my odds for “Roy Keane sent off for flying two-footed challenge on Joey Barton”?

I can’t decide whether to be fascinated or offended by those shoes.

We are glad you like our site, but a little correction: It´s forvo not forzo.

My apologies. I was just thinking ‘Forza Forvo’ and ended up combining the two.

Ah Wikipedia. Reminds me of that priceless “Jonny Evans is not a rapist” page.

I would love to have that purse, actually. It’s quite cool.
