Mais uma do Guardian

O post de hoje foi retirado mais uma vez da secção desportiva do Guardian. O tipo que a escreveu começa por dizer que a vida é curta demais e por isso não faz sentido perdermos tempo com introduções e com palavras insignificantes como "the", "for" "a" etc...

Por isso ele fez uma magnífica ode ao Eriksson.

PS - O ordenado anual do SGE é de £4 milhões/ano!

MR SVEN-GORAN ERIKSSON

£4m;
expected to work wonders;
it's been nearly four years now;
4-4-2;
stultifying;
as tactically bereft as Keegan or Taylor;
no plan B;
over-reliance on hot-headed youth;
hot-headed youth masks coaching inadequacies;
only won scudetto at Lazio because Juve were forced to play their final game in a monsoon;
"Best squad for years!" according to Becks;
"England can win trophies!" according to Becks;
"We can go better than the quarter-finals!" says Sven;
"The difference between going to the semi-final and losing in the quarter-finals is almost nothing!" says Sven;
"In 2006 England will be at their absolute peak!" says Sven;
to paraphrase Spinal Tap's David St Hubbins: "But you're not as confused as him are you. I mean, it's not your job to be as confused as Beckham";
four million pounds per year!;
surely he knows the truth;
though seeded England won't be found out by Northern Ireland one shouldn't imagine;
dismal draw or defeat best for everyone concerned in the long run;
come on Damien Johnson;
and asking SWP to play in goal to accommodate lumpen captain?;
and picking Heskey again?;
Heskey!
FOUR MILLION EFFING POUNDS!!!
not too late for AJ to jump ship and get a game for Poland;
does Peter Crouch have Polish grandparents?;
could be worse though;
Walter Smith;
Ally McCoist;
bonding over pints at first training session, for goodness sake;
recreate the social vibe that so benefited Rangers on the European stage in the 90s;
did nearly get to the European Cup final with a team containing Scott Nisbet, though, so let's give them a chance;
actually let's not, we all know what's going to happen there, don't we.
