Blatter Patter And Other Matters


Gabor Bori. Not the name of someone from a Russian spy thriller but the latest signing for The Foxes.

Who incidentally shares my birthday, although there is a slight difference in our ages.

He is used to playing in blue and white, which are the home colours of his Hungarian team, MTK Hungária FC, so at least that is one adjustment he won't have to make.

Of course Bori is not the only foreigner to be making an impact on the football scene. The transfer window is seeing a frenzy of activity as clubs swap players and bring in new ones from the continent and further afield.

And then there is the biggest news of all - Mr Capello himself - who officially started at the office yesterday, although he was out and about at the weekend watching potential England squad recruits.

Interestingly, despite a warm welcome from England, Mr Capello's appointment has attracted criticism from none other than Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA.

I have to accept that is a real name, whatever my instincts might tell me. And judging by his views on how women's football might be improved, is probably very apt.

The Project: To convert a non-believer to love football.

We are Con & Leon - two blokes who have undertaken the job of turning this bagpipe-playing barrister from the Sydney 'burbs to love the game.

We infiltrated the David Beckham press conference in Sydney (see this next episode) and we've been half time entertainment...

The result: Seven episodes/webisodes - each new one is uploaded every Friday. Check out episode one and send it to your mates - you'll laugh and you'll cry.

What a stuff of un-ambiguity and preserveness
of valuable familiarity concerning unexpected emotions.

An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment. I
do believe that you ought to write more on this subject, it may not
be a taboo subject but typically people don't talk about these topics. To the next! Cheers!!
