Do you remember that poem from primary school about stealing money from your mother’s purse for bubble gum? I remembered it just then because it shares the title of this post, but actually, I did a bad thing on Thursday.

I bought a Man U mug.

Obviously I wasn’t planning to drink out of it, and actually I don’t really want to tell the story, but now it is surplus to requirements and this is a “Need to destroy it, but how?” post, in the vein of Caroline’s essays about the Sheva shirt. (If you click the Shevchenko tag on the left, you will be able to see what we actually DID do to the Sheva shirt, but I would recommend that you do not eat at the same time.)

So, here are some ideas:

1) Smashing contest
2) Drive an ASDA van over it
3) Fill with explosive: ignite
4) Find out what the melting point of ceramic is

Please vote, and add your own suggestions below:)

Also, I need a new poll - any suggestions for that? You know the sort of thing I like: something random to do with European football, or anything quirky and probably football related.

A website called Dirty Tackle has decided to immortalise one of my favourite footballers in a very funny way. Loved his comments on Galatasaray/Fenerbahce (a game I would love to watch!) and Lady GaGa.

Artur Boruc’s Friday Rage List

Which footballer would you associate with a Rage List? What kind of list would you associate your favourite footballer with?

#1 Well my most obvious thought was Roy Keane, but do you remember a Fiorentina player called Edmundo who committed the first fouls ever?
#2 Patrick Vieira? Well, in his autobiography, he seemed very confident and self assured, so maybe a “yay me!” list.

By a blogger who uses the site that my old one, which has mysteriously lost its lovely red trim, is on.

Memories of Hillsborough

Also, I need help finding a place to watch Wisla Krakow v Legia Warsaw on Friday 8th May, i.e. a bar in London. Can anyone tell me a good place? I might be better off in Southampton if the Legia stickers plastered all over every pedestrian crossing in the West Quay shopping area are anything to go by. Btw, my new favourite hangout to watch international tournaments, the Famous Three Kings in West Kensington (right by the tube station exit) has a Croatian TV card now so they are showing all the Croatian matches! Result!

I’ll blog properly soon, when it’s not 10pm. But here’s a question to keep you ticking over:

If your favourite footballers went to a fancy dress party, what would they wear? I can’t imagine Patrick Vieira dressing up. He’d have to just cover up completely and do something you have to be ridiculously tall for, like Frankenstein or something. He doesn’t fit any dressing-up stereotypes that immediately come to mind.

God bless, Jenni xx
