Corner flag (vol 1.1)

1. English media and their footballers
It doesn't help anyone shed their rather biased opinion about English footballers when the captain comes out and says shit like this. When the reality is something like this. My biased opinion of English players has just been reinforced: that they are a bunch of deluded pricks.

Prior to these comments from the stalwarts of English football, it was the English media that dived into the Eduardo incident. It all adds up when one realises that their next WC qualifier is against Croatia - and a win away from booking their place in the finals.

The similarity between the Indian media and English counterparts is quite evident - both are substantially loud and often more ruthless than the most extreme capitalist. "The dark side of free speech" - but thats for another time all together.

2. The presence of a third ball
That's me I am talking about: as I believe Arsenal will win something this season. It could well be the league. Imagine how it would be if its the Champions League. Yes, its very early and we have seen things disintegrating in no time before so one shouldn't get carried by the start to the season. And lets not forget the mistakes that cost us 3 points last weekend against the champions - classic immature brain failure. But thats where the third ball comes into the picture - its the third eye, its the gut instinct that has metamorphosed into a physical organ that takes responsibility for such opinions. It sees a different season all together where there will be silverware. The third ball is expected to communicate next in December.
