Hmmm

I had an interesting conversation today about the biological impetus of my football likes and dislikes. Now I've always said that watching football satisfies some basic, primal need within me. I don't really mean a sexual need though that's probably wrapped up in it somewhere. Organised sports are our modern answer to gladiators and tossing people to the lions for viewing pleasure.

In nature it's the males that display themselves and their strength. Females either pick the strongest male or get picked by the strongest male, depending on the species. So when women say that we like certain footballers such as Nesta, Maldini, Del Pierro or Totti are we responding instinctively, (yes, I know humans as a species have virtually no instincts left)attracted to those males with the best genes to pass on, the best hunters/providers and fathers for our young/cubs?

Sighs and misses Uni a great deal!

Ugh

There's an awful virus going round and I think I have it...I hate being sick!

Borrowed from SoccerAge:
"09/23/2003. AC Milan will be forced to do without their red hot striker Filippo Inzaghi for 10 days, announced the club's official website.

A check-up done by the AC Milan medical staff on the Italy International today revealed a slight neck injury caused by the clash 'Super-pippo' had with Perugia keeper Kalac last Sunday.

Hence the lay-off that might keep Inzaghi out of the upcoming derby with Inter."

My poor baby, but a neck injury is nothing to fool with, best he rests.

Twatti says!

Totters seems to think himself a sage...or idiot savant perhaps. I'm going to keep track of all his witty sayings and predictions. Just cuz it tickles me.

From SoccerAge: "09/23/2003. AS Roma forward Francesco Totti doesn't believe local rivals Lazio are genuine title challengers.

"Lazio aren't up to it," he said. "While it would be silly to not consider us as title candidates.

"I think that Juventus and Inter will be our main competition in the title chase."

And on Sunday's 2-2 draw at Juventus, he added: "I've never seen anyone play at the Delle Alpi with the personality that we showed in the second half."

And apparently the poor man had a sleepless night later on...I couldn't close my eyes all night. It seemed so easy to score, but one must also admit that Buffon made a great save. He proved to be the world's best keeper. I watched the play again this morning, and must say he was fantastic in that instance," said the AS Roma skipper.

He was rather gracious about Buffon.
