The 'camel-jockey' issue...

Eran asked me to mention it on the blog that there's a lawsuit filed in the US against Sheikh Mohammed for enslaving 30,000 children in the last 30 years or so to be used as camel jockeys.

While we'll all agree this is a shameful practice but name one country in the world that can be considered a utopia, and that has never done anything wrong? Also, as has been mentioned, this issue might be in the headlines now, but there is alot of evidence that the ruling family has done all they can to eradicate the practice of child jockeys, and also, that they have put in place alternatives to avoid it recurring, such as Robot camel jockeys, while having successfully rehabilitating almost 90% of the children previously used in camel racing.

Here are some links you might wanna check out.

Carradona!!!!! (all the goals from the Fulham game)

Carra you fuckin legend!!

Apparently it was Rafa who told him to get near the far post on corners and now 'the scousest man in liverpool' has scored in the premiership after nearly 8 years?! A new club record for the most time between goals from any one ever! He's scored 2 in almost a year now so our man Carra is on fire!!

Great header by Garcia too, even though he was really frustrating during the game. More of an impact player, should be used as a substitue rather than in the starting lineup, methinks. Glad to see Stevie on the scoresheet as always, and Marky Mark's got a brilliant left foot on him too.

The People's Supermarket!

As DIC study Liverpool's books in the face of an imminent takeover, Everton have struck their own deal, with none other than TESCO which will see Everton new stadium built in... wait for it............ Kirkby!!

The 'Peoples Club'!! moving away from the people!!

won't somebody please think of the people!!

i'm gonna piss my pants laughing honestly,

serves them right as Kirkby's not even in Liverpool (officially atleast)!

Lets face it, as Shankly said, there were only really two teams in Liverpool, Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.

Last week's news: Pennant on the run?

Apologies I iz a bit late on reporting this but Liverpool Winger Jermaine Pennant is being questioned by UEFA officials tonight after someone resembling him was seen going past the Galatasaray left back without losing the ball at approximately 21:40 this evening.

Pennant, who is not accustomed to taking the ball with him on such excursions, is understandably perplexed by the alleged incident. A confused Pennant was overheard mumbling:

"Er, well, you know, I fink that I ain't got nuffink to prove, £6.8 million, innit. It must av bin my bruvva"

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was similarly coy on the incident, reeling off the usual:

"For sure, the most eemportant thing is that we have the confeedence, and for sure, we look forwar to the next game, Jermaine has been suffering a bit from the Lionel Richie syndrome, and, for sure, many times I have to shout "Hello!" because he does not know if it is him we were looking for to go past the defenders. If we had got Daniel Alves, I would have been dancing on the ceiling.

Rumours that Pennant is suffering from "Jermainitis", a condition which saps the previously overstated ability of stupidly named Premiership footballers, is, as yet, unconfirmed.
