2008: Top 10 Personal Highlights, part 1
Posted 30 Dec 2008 at 09:36 AM by Ollie Irish
Tis the season for arbitrary lists and awards. In that spirit, here are my favourite football moments of the year, in no particular order:
1. John Terry's penalty miss in the Champions League final
I don't like John Terry much. I don't like his chavvy hairstyle, I don't like his yobbish past, I don't like his parking etiquette, I don't like the way he always calls Frank Lampard 'Lampsy' and Wayne Rooney 'Wazza'. I do like the fact that Terry has to live forever with the knowledge that he choked from the penalty spot - yeah, he slipped, but he slipped because he choked - in the biggest match of his career. I like that a lot.

2. Joe Kinnear's rant
F**king brilliant. What a c**t.
3. Euro 2008
It was a peculiar joy to watch a major tournament without England. No tabloid hype, no quarter-final exit on penalties, no familiar feeling of emptiness, no drunken idiots slinging plastic chairs at riot police (well, no English idiots, at least). And the right team won.
4. This photo of Cristiano Ronaldo on crutches
Wrong on so many levels, but you can't deny C-Ron is an inspiration to every aspiring Guido out there - yes, it is possible to look like a total dick on crutches.
5. Victoria Beckham v Falkor, the luckdragon from The Neverending Story
The football lookalike of the year, no question.
Part 2 goes up tomorrow.

I think you're a farking arsehole.Posted 30 Dec 2008 at 06:43 PM by Brook

I pray nightly that maggots feast on John Terry's still-living flesh, and I think one of the under-appreciated aspects of the Human Genome Project will be the opportunity to track down and eradicate all traces of Terryesque DNA from the species.
So why don't people give me credit for accurately assessing his worth as a player and a person, instead of dismissing me as a "hater"?Posted 30 Dec 2008 at 08:55 PM by Dan Loney

Don't mind Brook. He still wakes up at night in a cold sweat and screams like a little girl after having a nightmare when he relives the moment at the pub when Manchester United dashed his dreams to pieces. But he's a good lad.
Btw, I nearly pissed myself laughing at the Posh Spice / Falkor comparison. Spot on!
