Balotelli getting ahead of himself

We know what an extraordinary talent City have on their hands in Mr Balotelli. He is however, guilty of making the headlines on the front pages as often, if not more than, on the back pages. He has come out and proclaimed their new front line of himself, Tevez and Dzeko as better than that of Barcelona’s and Real’s. Madrid have a super thin front line at this moment (Ronaldo the solo act), so that’s probably true.

However, to then proclaim that the City front 3 are more potent than a frontline of Messi, Villa and Pedro/Bojan, is up for dispute. This is a team that scores for fun and has already netted 61 goals in 19 La Liga games this season.

Mario, you guys haven’t won anything yet. Maybe you should save the boasting for when/if City pick up a title. At least then, you’ll have something to back up that talk.

Keeper Dale Roberts Hangs Himself Over Fiancee’s Affair With John Terry’s Brother

Young goalkeeper hangs himself after discovering that his fiancée slept with John Terry’s brother

A young goalkeeper hanged himself after his fiancée left him for his team mate – who is John Terry’s brother.
Dale Roberts, 24, killed himself after his 25-year-old partner Lindsay Cowen had an affair with his Rushden and Diamonds team mate Paul Terry.

Lindsay left Roberts in May after Terry slept with her while staying at the couple’s home.

Distraught Roberts refused to play alongside his cheating team mate at the Conference club and Terry was swiftly released and joined Darlington in August.
Paul is the elder brother of Chelsea and England footballer John Terry. His fling mirrors that of John’s alleged affair with Vanessa Perroncel, ex-girlfriend of the star’s England colleague Wayne Bridge.
Lindsey admitted the affair when a suspicious Dale confronted her at their home in Higham Ferrers, Nothamptonshire.
Last night, the 24-year-old was found dead in the house. Police said there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
Roberts was left heartbroken by the split and struggled to cope with losing his fiancée, according to friends.
A source said: ‘They (Lindsay and Paul) became an item after Paul stayed the night at the couple’s home in Higham Ferrers when Dale was injured.
‘All hell broke loose and Paul ended up being released as the rest of the team didn’t want to play in the same side as him.
‘Dale has been heartbroken about it ever since.’ (Daily Mail)

Tributes are pouring in for the former Nottingham Forest and Rushden & Diamonds goalie and of course are thoughts are with his friends and family at this tragic time. Dale Roberts at just 24 had a great deal to offer both in terms of his footballing career and indeed his life as a whole and this is a very tragic case indeed.

Nick Clegg gets ahead of himself

By Shourin Roy on August 23, 2010 11:23 AM | Comments | TrackBacksShare|

Nick Clegg waxes lyrical about England's 2018 World Cup chances.

"You could technically hold the World Cup here tomorrow."

No you can't. Fix that Wembley pitch for god sakes before it breaks the legs of the players. Listen to what Sir Alex, Arsene Wenger, and Harry Redknapp have to say about the divots and the boggy state of the pitch that cause so many players to slip. Michael Owen injured his hamstring in the 2009 -10 Carling Cup final.

Wembley will most likely be the venue for a number of World Cup matches and definitely the finals.

The new Desso semi-artificial turf installed for the Community Shield match between Chelsea and Liverpool is the 12th time that the pitch has had to be re-laid since 2007.

It was an improvement over the 2010 FA Cup final - that pitch according to John Terry ruined the match. At heart is the massively overrun cost of constructing the stadium which is being recouped by the number of concerts that are crammed into the event schedule. The hundreds of thousands of standees attending these concerts destroy the pitch which needs to be relaid at the cost of £125,000 every four months.

Other technicalities- the London transit in its present shape and form will not be able to handle the influx of hundred and thousands of fans. The tube closes at 12PM and then there is sketchy night bus service for the revelers. Unless one wants to pay an arm and leg for cabs. Heathrow and Gatwick are not even adequate to handle air traffic and passenger flow in its present state. The former is a nightmare with its air traffic congestion.

Stansted and Luton are far away and do not have enough shuttle services into and from the city.

So Mr Clegg, "technically" you will not be able to hold the World Cup tomorrow.
