Where Is Everybody?

As you know I have now returned home and it's a bit of an odd feeling, no ones around. My bro is away in Dubai for 3 weeks, Daz has jetted off to Aus and Gareth and Chris are road tripping it round the U.S. There are a few Dors left but they all have jobs, long gone are the days when everyone was free all day everyday over the Summer Holidays. This might not be the worse thing in the world though, I have less than zero money at the moment so bent sessions will have to be well measured as Bournemouth and Tenerife await. Hopefully tomorrow night and Thursday will be two big ones!
On a separate note finally the summer transfer market has just starte to get interesting. More and more rumours everyday and even some potential buys for Arsenal as opposed to the constant selling rumours! I am going to start up the Football Story of the Day feature again and see if I can find anything of any interest there!
Football Story of the Day:
Now I personally don't find this very interesting and have probably gone on about this before but it's the dreaded England Captaincy that has been dragged out by the newspapers today. Ferdinand (a leading contender) thought it would be a good idea to kick a female steward and swear at Chelsea fans in full view of all the world's cameras! He is meant to be 'sentenced' today to see what type of ban/fine he will receive. This has obviously shaken up the old 'who will be next England captain' story again and to be honest, does anyone give a monkeys??
In Italy the captaincy is given to the player with the most caps playing in that game, what an great idea, there would be no constant speculation in the papers, no pressure on the manager as I am sure he has more pressing things to be worried about, like trying to qualify and mastermind a Euro 2010 win perhaps? Does it really matter who is England Captain anyway? They are all players playing for their country, mostly leaders at their own clubs, do they have to have someone with a bit of fabric round their arm to lead them to victory or can't they all do their bit and get a win that way. Also is there anyone at the moment who deserves to be captain? Leading contenders are Terry who had an abysml season last year, is constantly spotted out on the piss and cheating on his wife and is out of form, Ferdinand who kicks female stewards, misses drugs tests, swears at Chelsea fans (who I am guessing are English) Gerrard who only plays well for his one true love Liverpool, Beckham who gave up his armband for fear of losing it in the first place and may not even make the squad and finally Owen who doesn't even play football anymore does he? In summary stop boring everyone with stories about England captaincy and give it to the most capped player each game and concentrate on more important things like winning!!!!!
Joke of the day:
One night a police officer was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible drink driving violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys in five different cars before he found his. Then he sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes. Everyone else left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him. He stopped the driver, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyser test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated decoy.”
