The Special One draws first blood

I'm a big fan of Carlo, I also appreciate Milan in a way...not that I'm a fan of them or like them, but I have some sort of respect.
But, with the Special One at Inter, Inter overall, Uncle Massimo, and now Ronaldinho at Milan, I can't help but hope for the best for Inter and another trophyless season for Milan.

The Special One threw the first jab btw. and it was fitting...comparing himself to the Great Sacchi and all...damn! Make 'em Pay Jose!!!

Mourinho takes stab at Ancelotti


A few months ago, when Inter were about to win the Scudetto and Milan were struggling, there were rumours that coach Jose Mourinho, now at Inter, was ready to join the Rossoneri to replace Carlo Ancelotti.

The Milan coach reacted to these voices by referring to Mourinho's lowly past as a footballer: "Mourinho to Milan? He can't even kick a ball..."
..
...
..
During the presentation ahead of the new season at Inter's Appiano Gentile training ground, Mourinho referred to this quote and gave the following response.

"Perhaps he has forgotten that in Milan's history Arrigo Sacchi made them play the best football," he said. "And Sacchi, like me, never played football at a high level. My dentist is great, but he's never had tooth ache..."

How to survive in South......what is it again?

I didn't know that until today but South Central is not South Central anymore but they call it...well, they have no name for it, but call it South L.A.

And it was a totally senseless move, as this suggests.

"How to survive in Los Angeles?" would be a shitty name for a song btw.

My First Pair of Jordan's

Me and Jordan's go a long way. It was never meant to be. Back in 1994 I believe my late grandfather went on a US trip and I asked him to bring me Jordan's or the Nike Air Max CB's. He brought me 1990 Air Force(They were the Rookie shoes of the damn Admiral) and paid around 100 Euros for them. He said the Jordan's were ugly and looked like climbing shoes(well, they were but I wanted the Jordan VIII not the IX anyway, the IX were not out yet in Vienna) but it was still a huge rip off. That was the one chance I had of getting Jordan's and what I learned was that you should never ask a 80 year old man to bring you basketball shoes, because the poor man doesn't know about it.
Then there were the Jordan XI...where the original's looked like ballet shoes with that shiny thing around it, but there was a cooler version of them too, the low ones. My cousin had them in black...awesome shoe!
Anyway...my old basketball shoes, my Converse All Star retros I had for 11 years now went bust yesterday, or at least one pair went.





So I had to buy new basketball shoes today, since I'm getting back in John Starks mode(had a decent game yesterday. We lost, but I'm getting my swagger back and the opposition was simply better. But I'm shooting better lately than ever).
I went to Footlocker looking for Jordan's, since I boycott Adidas shoes, don't really like And1 and Reebok's are hard to find in Vienna and found them.
Rashid claims that he could get them cheaper from Ahmed, but I could get them cheaper somewhere else too and since Rashid lives in Paris...yeah, great!
Eitherway, can't wait to put them on and play...

Arsenal Halftime Stats

Just as a measure to compare, I also checked out Arsenal's stats over the past 20 league games.
Interestingly enough, over the past 20 games Arsenal were one of the best teams in Europe in turning a halftime defeat to a win, namely twice. Liverpool as an example, have no win after being behind at half time. However, Arsenal has only won 1 game after a draw at halftime.
Here are the numbers


W 8 1 0
D 1 2 2
L 2 2 0

Rows are result at halftime, columns final result.

Euro2008 halftime stats

Here's some stats from the Euro2008:

In 11 games, the team leading at halftime later won the game. Only in 1 game the game ended in draw(Poland-Austria) and in 3 cases the team leading at halftime lost(Czechs to Turks,Switzerland to Turks, Greece to Spain)

In 12 wins, the game was a draw at halftime. Interestingly enough, in those wins the winner was always the team that scored first.
4 games were draw at halftime and draw in the end.

So apart of Turks, we could argue that no team really could handle being behind at halftime.

I broke this down in a diagram..basically at the Euro, you had a 35% chance of winning the game if you led by halftime. If you didn't lead at halftime but the game was a draw, if you scored the first goal, you had a 100% guarantee that you were not going to lose and a 85% chance to win. If you were behind however at halftime, it was more likely to win than to draw.

Fascinating, no?

Hero

Chain gleaming
Switching lanes
Two-seating
Hate him or love him
For the same reason
Can't leave it
The games needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'm gonna give 'em what they want
They looking for... a hero
I guess that makes me... a hero

The end of the Strassenbahn as we know it

What used to be great about public transport in Vienna, where the tramways, or Strassenbahn, specially my personal 3 favorites 1,2 and D. 1 and 2 used to go around the Ring and be a tourist ride where you could see all major attractions of Vienna. It was pretty much like the Circle Line in London, just overground. D used to be the tramway that brought me from my old home to the city center.
As it looks like, the Ring ride will be over by October 26th and D will be called 3 from then on..which is just rubbish!
The Vienna transport system cuts off 2 things that made it unique for more supposed efficiency(which is BS too since along that extension, you will be much faster by underground either way and that supposed new trip will take a whole life).
