Brighton Saga

Un'altra storia di calcio malato sembra finalmente avere lieto fine. Il Brighton, orfano dal 97 del suo stadio venduto dall'allora presidente, ha finalmente avuto il permesso di costruire un nuovo impianto dopo aver giocato negli ultimi tempi in un campo con appena 7.000 posti....

Brighton and Hove Albion have been given permission to build a 23,000-seat stadium in the village of Falmer. They first applied for permission to build the ground in 2001 and have been waiting since then for a decision. Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott ruled on Friday the stadium could be built at Falmer, just outside the city. Brighton have been playing home games at Withdean, an athletics stadium in the city, since 1999 and their last permanent home was sold off in 1997. The club and their fans have been desperate for permission to build the new stadium, arguing that by having to play home games at Withdean, with a capacity of about 7,000, they are missing out on huge amounts of ticket revenue.The saga began in 1997, when the club's former chairman sold the Goldstone Ground, the Seagulls' home for almost a century. The ground was demolished and is now the site of a retail park. Brighton played home games 75 miles away in Gillingham for two years before moving to the Withdean. The team have enjoyed success on the pitch, enjoying back to back promotions in 2001 and 2002 and, after being relegated in 2003, they were promoted back into the Championship via the play-offs in 2004. The club took about 30,000 fans to the play-off final in Cardiff, which chairman Dick Knight has cited as proof the club needs a stadium which can hold far more than 7,000 supporters. The public inquiry into whether the ground could be built opened in February 2003 and did not finally close until earlier this year. Interviewed in Brighton by the BBC at the Labour Party Conference in September 2004, Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted the process had taken too long. - from BBC

I perche' della vita....

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty

The Babyshambles frontman, famed for his wild lifestyle and dating model Kate Moss, revealed details of his ditty after learning Rangers had commissioned a tune from composer Michael Nyman.

"Fair play to Michael Nyman for composing the song for QPR to come out on to the pitch but I've already written a song for when they win the FA Cup," Doherty told The Guardian newspaper.

"He could do the B-side."

Doherty says his unnamed tune is a ska track.

But he might need to do a bit of work on the lyrics, which include the following lines:

I'll be, I'll be there
With blue and white ticker tape in my hair
Up the Rs
Up the Rs
Up the Rs

Ma come fa Kate Moss a scoparsi uno con quella faccia?? I miracoli della coca...

TOTTENHAM

When i was just a little boy

I asked my mother what should I be

Should I be Arsenal, should I be Spurs?

Here's what she said to me:

Wash your mouth out son

And go get your father's gun

We'll shoot the Arsenal scum

Shoot the Arsenal scum

ARSENAL

Hello, Hello, we are the Arsenal boys!

Hello, Hello, we are the Arsenal boys!

And if you are a Tottenham Fan.

surrender or you die,

cause we all follow the Arsenal

In bocca al lupo George.

Football legend George Best's condition has deteriorated and he is fighting for his life, his consultant has confirmed. The former Manchester United star is believed to have suffered internal bleeding and is on life support .Best, 59, who has spent three weeks in the Cromwell Hospital in west London, had a liver transplant in 2002 after well-documented drinking problems. "We are not giving up. There's still a chance we can get him through this," said Professor Roger Williams. The former Northern Ireland international was admitted to the private hospital with flu-like symptoms and developed a kidney infection. Mr Williams, responsible for Best's care since his transplant, said the infection that saw him admitted to hospital was not directly related to his problems with alcohol. But he would have been more susceptible to the illness because he has been on a course of medication to suppress the immune system and prevent his body rejecting a new liver. His ex-wife Alex Best said: "I am just praying that, once again, he somehow manages to pull through against all the odds. My thoughts and prayers are with him." His son, Callum, has told the BBC that his father's condition is "touch and go". Best's agent, Phil Hughes, brought him to hospital suffering from flu-like symptoms, including shortness of breath, and the ex-player has not left since. He was later taken to intensive care. At the time, Mr Williams would not say whether Best had been drinking again, although he said Best's failure to give up the bottle following his operation three years ago had caused concerns. "We're disappointed, there's been these awful bouts of drinking which have gone on and he's had all these other sorts of social problems," said Mr Williams - from BBC
