Henry to Barca
It was probably inevitable, with the departure of David Dein, Henry was left shocked. Henry has given 8 years of great service to the Gunners. Much of clubs success can be attributed to his goal scoring prowess.
A sad day that he's leaving English Football. A good day for Liverpool though as speculation will heat up even more now about the possibility of Samuel Eto'o joining the club. And with the signing of Fernando Torres imminent, we could have the best looking striking partnership in the Premier league withing a couple of weeks. *Fingers Crossed*

WTF General Motors? LOL
GM is Retarded
This is the reason General Motors keeps on having Billions of dollars worth of debt. Offering test drives of better cars, hahahhaa, yeah thats a good marketing ploy. Walk into a Local GM dealership, ask to test drive a GM vehicle, instead test drive a Toyota, ask the GM dealer where the nearest Toyota dealership is, walk out of GM dealership. LOL, What idiots.
Just another reason why GM is the scum of the earth when it comes to building and selling cars!

On Par with the Premier League?
I don't think so, I dont think Alexi watches his own football, its pathetic. It is like watching a blindfolded man try to catch chickens. The MLS has no appeal to it, it doesn't boast the best players in the world, and therefore doesn't equate the best football.
I think he said it right, and should have ended with this statement "In England, our league is considered second class..." Instead he went on to ramble about how if he took a helicopter with MLS players over to England they would win, hahaha. The helicopter wouldn't make it across the Atlantic, what a retard.
The British press loved this one,
"The game was not without moments of quality ... (but) some of the defending from both sides was the type of stuff you watch through your fingers," according to The Mirror.
"It was the football equivalent of a demolition derby.
He can't seriously think this, he can't be that dumb. To even think that that league is better then second division English teams is a stretch. The MLS has no good players, nothing that stands out, besides Beckham, but hes doing it for future goals, not for the football. The MLS is rubbish when it comes to quality of football, its rubbish when it comes to the quality of players, and rubbish when it comes to quality in general.
Let's face it, if this league was so good, why isn't Thierry Henry, or Christiano Ronaldo or ANYONE worth mentioning moving to the MLS at the peak of their careers? The only things the MLS is good for, like it's cousin from the 70's, is money for players at the end of their careers.

I think it is enevitable...
Beckham to Stay?
This would definetly kill any momentum the MLS thought they had coming. With 1 win seperating Beckham and his first Primera League title since joing Real Madrid, and his subsequent re-call to the England nation squad, there has been many rumors about his potential u-turn.
This move would only benefit himself, there is no reason to go over to the US because he isn't a wash up like the rest of the MLS players. With his renewed England career, and with the potential of another 2 or 3 quality years, i think that American may never seem him. Prayers sometimes get answered!

To clear something up....
This is in regards to the people who only read one half of the story.
Recently a Uefa member went out of his way to label Liverpool's fans as the worst in Europe. <-----This is where most people stopped reading and that led to people thinking dumb things because people only read what they want to hear sometimes.
The fact of the matter is Michel Platini has denounced these claims. Who is Michel Platini you ask, only the Chief of Uefa, the big Cheese, and probably one of the best Midfielders ever to play the game to boot.
"What is most surprising about the latest comments from Mr Gaillard is that on the eve of the final, he quite rightly commented that Liverpool supporters 'have a tradition of good behaviour'.
Comments from a BBC Report
"Let's not forget that these same supporters who Mr Gaillard is claiming are now the worst in Europe were praised by Uefa President Michel Platini after our semi-final victory against Chelsea only last month.
"They were commended for their behaviour in Istanbul in 2005 and actually honoured by Uefa at a gala dinner in Monte Carlo in 2001 as joint Supporters of the Years with Alves after the Uefa Cup final."
So who is telling the truth here. Uefa seems to be playing the blame game when it is acutally their fault for allocating only 17000 tickers for Liverpool in a 60000 seat stadium. Uefa knew that Liverpool supporters were upset that they had been cheated out of seeing their team play. At the gate for the game, Uefa workers were letting in people who didnt even have tickets and supporters with legitmate tickets were turned away. So who dropped the ball. If you paid upwards of 1000 Pounds, almost $2500 Canadian for a ticket and you couldnt get in, you would be mad. This is not even mentioning travel costs to Athens.
So when people say well Liverpool must have the worst fans because of a massive mistake by Uefa, and totally ignoring the embarrasing actions of Manchester United Fans in Lens and Rome, doesn't make sense. And it just goes to show people will only read what they want to hear, then they stop and get all their facts mixed up and they looked ridiculous when trying to argue their flawed point.
Liverpool's fans are the Loudest in the word (actually hold a world record for this) and are the most supoorting fans as well. It's not lie when Samuel Eto'o adores the Liverpool Fans, Thierry Henry has spoken praises before, even Ronaldinho. It's clear Uefa is wrong, and now they have thier tails between their legs trying to rectify the situation. Expect apolgies within the next couple of weeks.

Answer Me This...

Article from Macleans Magazine, May 14th Issue.
Al Gore's tenuous grasp on the 'truth'
Gore blasted the Tories' green plan, but it includes almost every remedy that he calls for
FROM THE EDITORS | May 14, 2007 |
Of all the memorable scenes in Al Gore's documentary An Inconvenient Truth, it's hard to forget his forecast on rising oceans.
The collapse of the Greenland ice sheet at the hands of global warming will increase worldwide sea levels by nearly seven metres, Gore states. He sketches out the impact this will have: India and Bangladesh will be inundated. Forty million people will be displaced around Shanghai. Florida will all but disappear. Most cruel of all, however, is the effect on New York City. His graphics then show a blue tide of water slowly swallowing up city streets. "This is what would happen to Manhattan. They [scientists] can measure this precisely." In a whisper he adds: "The area where the World Trade Center Memorial is to be located would be underwater." It is perhaps the most powerful moment in the movie. Yet, like the bulk of Gore's message, it is also heavily exaggerated and of questionable practical value.
Those scientists in which Gore puts so much faith do discuss the possibility of a failure of Greenland's ice. In fact, the February 2007 report of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change mentions the possibility of a seven-metre rise in the oceans. But that report also says global warming would have to continue "for millennia" for this to occur. Gore's Manhattan/Atlantis scenario is thus a potential risk sometime after 4007. It's not exactly a clear and present danger.
We bring this up not because global warming or environmentalism are things to be ignored -- they are important issues to be sure -- but to point out Gore's frequent distance from the useful truth. His comment last week in Toronto that the Conservative government's environmental plan is a "complete and total fraud ... designed to mislead the Canadian people" is as exaggerated and misplaced as his movie scaremongering. It is never a fraud to be honest. However painful it may be for single-minded idealists like Gore to admit, it is an absolute impossibility for Canada to meet its 2012 Kyoto targets without triggering economic collapse.
The plan released by Environment Minister John Baird last month includes almost all the remedies Gore himself calls for. Ottawa has already introduced tax breaks for public transit. Now we have rebates for fuel-efficient cars with new standards on the way. There will be carbon sequestering, a new technology fund and a ban on incandescent bulbs. Baird's plan is also notable for its focus on reducing air pollution, which arguably has a bigger negative impact on Canadians today than global warming ever will. Taken as a whole, the plan represents an effective compromise between economic sanity and environmental necessity.
Gore's fascinating reinvention of himself from earnest but boring politician to environmental crusader is a notable achievement. If he has made himself rich in the process, we applaud that as well. But during this transformation, Gore appears to have forgotten the art of realistic policy-making, and he has ceased to tell his audience the whole truth.
When will we ever do enough for the tree huggers? No matter what we do, will ever be enough for Al Gore. What Gives? When will these people ever be happy.
