Brown to be Sacked

The back pages of the tabloids and football chatrooms are rife with rumours that the manager of UKFC, Gordon Brown, is to be sacked.

The ambitious owners of UKFC, comprising a powerful cartel of Multi-Nationals headed up by Sheikh Abdullah Farkwit is believed to be unimpressed with his performance and are unhappy with the teams results. One insider said: "the results are clearly not in line with the targets that were agreed and set. We have spent billions on trying to bury our bitter rivals Kyoto FC and he has just not delivered. The bastards are still alive and snapping at our heels. They just won’t lie down or go away."

It is believed that an unknown Italian is being lined up for the job and has management experience in a small parish council on the Welsh borders. He was spotted walking across Westminster Bridge on 11th December which triggered the rumours.

However, the changeover is not expected to take place until next May and Mr Brown will not be informed of the decision until after it is announced.

Copenhagen v. Me

Regular readers of this blog will know that I have more than a passing interest in Football. I rarely miss it on the TV. Some games are more delightful than others. Brazil v. Argentina or Manchester United v. Liverpool for example. These are the games where I am a neutral and I can sit back, relax and enjoy the football and the theatricals. Even when I have an emotional attachment, like with Spurs and England I can still, most of the time, watch with pleasure. I have been disappointed far too often in the past – I know what to expect so my expectations are not high. But there are some games that I just cannot bear to watch. You just know what’s going to happen. They are just far too tense and too much of a strain on the old ticker. I’m talking the inevitable penalty shoot out involving England and the World Cup.

So it is that I have been studiously avoiding the Copenhagen summit. I just can’t bear to watch, I just know what’s going to happen, and I'm afraid my ticker won’t take it.

Will somebody please let me know when the game is over and the result. But do break it to me gently please.
