So even with our bad eating habits and a crazy mayor, London has been awarded the Olympics in 2012 ahead of Paris. Obviously Jacques Chirac’s comments on our food did nothing to change the minds of the judges.

We may have crap food, but we have the Olympics – Hahaha France!

Good news for London and the country, even if, like me the Olympics are not of major interest.

Never let Gerrard be your “Phone a Friend” he’s not good with decisions

A bizarre turn of events in the Steven Gerrard saga. He is now decided to stay at Liverpool. Dunno what the reasons behind that are but that lad simply cannot make his mind up. Liverpool chairman Rick Parry must be getting very confused. It’s like a sketch from Little Britain….

Parry: “Now Steven, where do you want to play next season?”
Gerrard: “I wanna go to Chelsea”
Parry: “Chelsea? Are you sure? I thought you said you loved Liverpool and after winning the Champions League simply couldn’t think about leaving”
Gerrard: “Yeah I know”
Parry: “So, where do you want to go?”
Gerrard: “Chelsea”
Parry: “Are you sure, remember last season you were going to go and then decided not to. That was a great cafuffle.”
Gerrard: “Yeah I know”
Parry: “Chelsea it is then?”
Gerrard: “Yes!”

—– 1 Hour Later —–

Parry: “Steven, I have Roman Abramovich on the phone, he’s offering a lot of money for you. All you need to do now to become a Chelsea player is sign these forms”
Gerrard: “I wanna stay at Liverpool”

It’s a special day today, Sparkster.net is proud to award French President Jacques Chirac with the ‘Irony Trophy of 2005’. This is following his comments on the quality of British food ahead of the decision for which country will host the Olympics in 2012.

Chirac was reported in saying (about Britain) “We can’t trust people who have such bad food. After Finland, it’s the country with the worst food” Hahaha! This is coming from the man who is in charge of a country who considers snails and frogs a delicacy!

What you get if you “Go Large” in a French restaurant

There has been a lot of banter between Britain and France over this whole Olympics bid including Britain reportedly saying said the stadium in Paris was shit. For those who care (and to be honest, I don’t) the decision will be made tomorrow, then hopefully all this childish behaviour can be put to rest, at least until Fifa start the bids for World Cup 2014.

Moving onto football, “Mr. Liverpool” Steven Gerrard has told his so-called beloved club that he wants to leave them, probably for Chelsea or Real Madrid. He is just like Alan Smith and Wayne Rooney. Says he loves his home town club but as soon as something better comes along, sticks two fingers up and pisses off.

Distant memories for Liverpool fans

In some ways I can see why Gerrard wants to leave. You only get to play at the top level for so many years and when your one of the greatest footballers in the world you want to play for one of the greatest clubs.

What I think is wrong however, is the way players like Gerrard go on about how they love their club and will never leave and then weeks later have a total change of heart. You cannot treat the fans that way.

Still, as an England fan and an admirer of Gerrard I think the move is a good thing for his career and the national team and wish him well wherever he goes (unless its to Man U).
