"News" and stuff

I really should be in the process of writing my ten paged paper about Don Quixote right now, but instead I have chosen to do this :) I've written about five pages so far, and the report is due Monday and it's really hard and complicated and blah, blah, blah.
Basically, football has been helping me procrastinate... This week was spirit week at my school and Tuesday was Touchdown Tuesday and everyone was supposed to wear their football jerseys and stuff and I borrowed a Manchester jersey from a friend of mine (because even though I'm obsessed with them, I don't own their jersey) and wore my Manchester scarf. It was really cool, except one of my friends wore and Arsenal jersey and I got really mad, I think a little overly mad, but hey they all know about my live for United and my hate for pretty much every other team. There were a couple of people with Barcelona jerseys and I really wanted to take a picture with them, but I think it would have been kind of awkward because I didn't know any of them. But it was really fun to be able to show my United pride to everyone at school, I think that if people didn't know before, now they kind of have to realize that I'm the crazy girl with the football obsession.
While I was procrastinating today I was reading some articles about stuff that Nani and Evra had said in recent interviews, and one of them made me really angry, while the other one made me really happy.
Patrice is just such a loyal player and he makes me smile when I see him. Knowing that he really cares about United makes me like him even more, so he is no my Berba-Fletcher-Giggsy list (which is the good list).
Nani, on the other hand, just pissed me off! I mean he obviously doesn't start all the time because he is not good enough. He really needs to raise his game, because everyone has this season since Ronaldo has gone. I don't understand what his problem is, the only way in which he can earn his spot in United is by playing well, not by complaining... He has earned a spot on my Owen-Rio-Tevez list, which is not a list you want to be on.

Anyway, I think that Sir Alex's punishment by the FA was a little over the top, but we all know he deserved it. He did make inappropriate comments about the referee's fitness, but I think that a four-match ban was a bit too much.

I should probably stop procrastinating soon and go finish my paper.

I haz no life

One of my favorite bloggers, Gina wrote a blog post where she listed all the clubs that she watches/ follows. Considering that I have a European History test soon, I couldn't think of a better procrastination method, but to make the same list right now. 

  1. Manchester United- I try to watch every single game and I read all match analysis. I've read books about them, I write stuff about them. I'm just completely in love with that team.
  2. Liverpool- For some reason (I think it might be Fernando Torres) I started to really like this team. I really hated it last season, but now I actually quite like them. I've watched most of their games and I love the way they play. 
  3. Valencia- my most recent love. I think I like them so much because they are so different every game and they are just exciting. Some weeks they play horribly, but then other they are just awesome. And of course the Daveeds and Mata :) They are always nice to watch. 
  4. AC Milan- I think it's Pato and Inzaghi. Inzaghi is old, but he is amazing, and Pato is just... well, amazing. 
  5. Aston Villa- Maritn Petrov. I know, I know I shouldn't follow a team just because one of their players is Bulgarian, but I do...
  6. Chelsea- I don't follow them because I like them, I follow them because they are the Devils' big competition this season and I need to know what we will be up against. 
  7. Real Madrid- They are just a joy to watch, and come on Ronaldo and Kaka on the same team= <3
  8. Barcelona- I don't support them, but I just love watching them play. They just baffle me, I've never seen a team play such amazing football. 
  9. CSKA Sofia- There is this whole rivalry in Bulgaria where you are either from Levski or from CSKA, and I like the reds. I can't watch any of their games, but I follow their score because I love it when they kick Levski's ass. 
  10. Arsenal- I have a secret love for Arshavin. I guess it's not a secret anymore...
Now on to the national teams 
  1. Bulgaria- duh, I'm Bulgarian and as much as I hate it I have to follow them and watch them lose and fail miserably at everything. 
  2. Germany- I fell in love with the German NT at the 2008 Euro. I just love all of them :)
  3. Spain- I follow them for the same reason I follow Barca- great football, oh and Torres. 
  4. Russia- Arshavin :) and I like the underdogs 
  5. England- As much as I wouldn't like to I have to follow them. I always have really high hopes for them, and they always fail...
  6. Brazil-same reason I follow the Spanish NT and Barca, but instead of Torres they have Kaka, and Pato
  7. France- They used to be my favorite when Zizu played for them, but now they kind of, umm, suck.... 
And I'm starting to wonder if my low Chemistry grade has anything to do with this....
