Better Late Than Never

I never really wrapped up "football month", did I?


There was so much left to tell and now I have forgotten almost everything.


I know just like me, you all were wondering what our favourite right back and captain of the best club in the whole wide world was up to during Euro 2008... (hehe).


Well, you won't believe it - and I can't believe it took me several weeks to find out - he was a pundit for ITV. And as always the public is split on his performance. There are those who rate him and those who slag him off. I'd pay to watch it, but I don't get the signal in Berlin.


Now in pre-season he's played quite a bit and Sir has called him phenomenal ... so me is very happy and very much looking forward to the new season.


Talking about pre-season ... Liverpool decided to stop in Berlin for a friendly with Hertha and as I'm suffering from football withdrawal quite heavily this year due to project finish and being back in Germany, I jumped at the chance to see them. It was so nice of them to visit me, just as it will be so nice of the England team to come and visit me in November.


But of course I paid to see Crouchy and Stevie G ... two words: sold & injured ... and all I got was ... hmpfff! I can honestly say, I've never been so happy to see Jamie Carragher in my whole life! Which says it all really...


Anyway it was 23 Euros spent well as it gave me back that stadium feeling and I realised just how much I miss actually going to see games.


What I definitly don't miss are all the drunken, ugly men who couldn't care less about the football and just go there to get drunk and horribly ripped off by the stadiums beer providers.


Another highlight was Rafa Benitez ... I was basically sitting just behind him and watched him a lot ... there wasn't too much action on the field. Oh yeah, and Sammy who used to do coaching for England is now with them too (maybe he always has been ... I'm not up to date), but it was nice to see him. So was seeing Dirk Kuyt.


Now before I bore everyone to death ... what else happened over the last weeks?


Frank loves wearing pink clothes
Phil Scolari is beating the entire Chelsea squad at tennis
Fabio Cannavaro was photographed shaving a friends chest on a yacht
the show pony went to LA and is trying to go into the gay porn business I think ... the super-crazy tan and tiny shiny shorts are the clue I think


yeah, that's the catch-up done ... football month is officially over and I leave you with this pic of the real Ronaldo which totally made my day:
