Greetings,
Question: Your a football manager, your playing away from home against last years Premiers, its the second half and your 1-0 up.
Do you (a) go all out and try and grab another 2 goals because you want to smash them into the ground?
or (b) do you take a more conservative tact and try and soak up their pressure and hope to nick a 2nd goal on the counter?
99% of managers within the world of football would select option (b) without a second thought. It is the most sensible option if you want to keep your job and any of the 3 points you have in your hands at the time. Mr Andy Harper on the other hand last night demonstrated why he is NOT a football managers left testicle and why he has gone a long way in my book to becoming the most hated football commentator in the world. Yes thats right, even more hated than Robbie "I have a Premiership winners medal dont you know" Slater.
Last night the mighty Newcastle Jets were playing away from home against the Melbourne Victory. A very tough away game, one in which i was hoping that we could some how sneak away with a 0-0 draw. So it was to my great delight that after around 7mins Adam Griffiths appeared at the far post to head home the opening goal of the game. Beautiful to watch, but even i would admit it was against the run of play, Melbourne were lively in the opening minutes. Now hang on a minute, there isnt anything irregular there, Melbourne were the home team, of course they would be the more attacking team early, should we expect anything different?
Andy Harper does!
Straight after the goal Melbourne threw everything at the Jets defence, trying to get the goal back. Here i must add that while Melbourne had a lions share of the possession they did sweet FA with it. The main reason for this, was The Jets defence was of world class standards, especially North and Griffiths, and did the commentators acknowledge this? Oh no, they just pointed out that The Jets were wasteful in attack. Now im sure most Jets fans expected the boys to be on the defensive for quite some time after getting the goal and im sure that most Victory fans expected their boys to hammer the Jets defense for the remainder of the half.
Andy Harper didnt! He couldnt understand why the possession was so 1 sided!
The second half began with the Victory smashing the Jets penalty area and pinning them in their own half. To the most educated, no scrap that, to just about all football fans, this was to be expected. The home team was 1-0 down, they had just had a halftime serve from their coach and their fans had found their voice and were trying to sing their team back into the game.It was to be expected, it was my thought, as im sure it was for alot of you, that if The Jets could withstand the onslaught for at least 15 mins then they would stand a huge chance of getting something from the game.
Andy Harper didnt! He couldnt understand why The Jets were struggling to get out of their own half.
The game was starting to heat up as the Victory struggled to find a way past a very impressive Jets defence. Tackles were flying in all over the place from both teams as Matthew "Im an Orc from the Lord of the Rings" Breeze started to lose control. Then the inevitable happened, Joel Griffiths lost the ball and snapped, chased Pantelidistheoklitoscookiemonster down the sideline and fouled him several times before the guy got the shits and elbowed him in the face. Stupid thing to do as Breeze had blown the freekick at the moment he lashed out. Now everyone knows, as strange as a sounds, its actually harder to play against 10 men.
Andy Harper doesnt! He thinks its easier.
With 20 mins to go, the home team is still 1-0 down, the crowd are getting even louder than before due to the sending off and Melbourne are quite rightly throwing everything they have at the Jets to try and salvage something from the game. For the next 18 minutes Andy Harper wanks on about how he doesnt understand why the Jets are not 5-0 up, "why are the Jets not dominating the game?", "why are Melbourne still in the game?", "why dont i have any friends?". Here is something for you to think about Harper, how about you actually take notice of how the game is unfolding instead of sticking your head in a bowling ball cleaner to get that nice "shine"!
Then on 88 minutes it happens, exactly what The Jets have been playing for since the opener. An opportunistic, against the run of play goal. Imagine that, its unbelievable, unheard of, its football Harper! Joel Griffiths got the goal his hard work deserved and The Jets were going on to win and all there was from Harper was silence! Looking back it was perhaps his finest 5 minutes of commentary all season, if only he would shut his useless mouth for 90 minutes then he would be the complete commentator!
During the game i messaged Henry Bergkamp and expressed my disdain for Haper, "He is SO pro Melbourne it is making me sick". Bergkamp replied and said that he didnt think he was pro Melbourne, just anti away team holding onto a 1-0 scoreline. The truth is i think he is right, but it only makes it worse. If Harper was pro Melbourne i could just brush it aside and say "oh well he is just saying that cos he wears Victory underwear, but he isnt. I have come to the conclusion that he has no idea about the game of football, i think he is a halfwit when it comes to football tactics. What else does he expect a team away from home to do with a 1-0 lead? Throw it away? Dickhead.
I was thinking that maybe i was being a bit harsh on the man, i mean he did play in the old NSL for years, he did play for the socceroos..................hang on a minute......... he didnt, hahahahahahaha, he never made it.......hahahahahahaha, that has to hurt. I just read somewhere that "he is the best player to never play for the socceroos", what a joke! Pele never played for the socceroos, does that make Harper better than Pele? What a tosser, i bet he was the one who came up with that quote, him or his mother.
The sooner Fox Sports realise that Harper and Slater are just has beens with no ability in calling the game, the better.
Its just my opinion
Sir Boom
p.s. Where was Robbie "I have a Premiership winners medal" Slater last night anyway? At the hairdressers getting an orange rinse put throgh that hair of his? Do you know he was once known as the "Ginger Maradona" hahahaha Tosser

3 strikes and your out!
Greetings
I'd just like to start today by apologising straight up for what i am about to write about, the following post and the views expressed within it are entirely those of Sir Boom and not any other author of the site that is Boom Goes The Arsenal. That being said i have a feeling that they will agree with my opinions despite their controversial nature. So with that out of the way, on with the rant.
It was mid Sunday morning and after having to get up for work at 3:30am i wasnt really in the mood for doing anything other than lying around, having a bit of a "nana nap" and watching the Jets in the afternoon. As is always the case in my house my plans seem to vary from those of the very lovely Lady Boom. It was brought to my attention, just as i was boarding the choo choo train to sleepyville, that Lady Boom was bored and wanted to go into the city for some shopping. So i did what any self respecting husband does, and pretended to be asleep until she left the room. Moments later she returned announcing that she and her sister were leaving without me and would return later, fine by me!
Problem now was i had lost that sleepy feeling so i arose and found i had 3 hours to kill until the Jets kicked off, oh how was i to fill this wonderful time alone? With TV of course, and whatever sport happened to be on, even if it was womans billiards. Well i settled for something far less interesting, the Thugby League "Test Match" of Australia v New Zealand. What a joke that was! Absolutely pathetic! I really dont rate the game that much, i mean in all honesty its a stupid game for meat heads with no brains and the game did little to prove me wrong. There was a massive crowd of around 178 people there to witness the 2 "best teams in the whole wide world" smash the crap out of eachother. I didnt even finish watching the game and instead wasted money of the horses.
The one thing i will say is that Thugby League should never be allowed to have a "World Cup", their use of the term is an insult to all real sports and if i had my way it would be banned.
Dont think for a second that this is where my rant stops, oh no people, the shit has yet to hit the fan let me tell you!
The time clicked over to 2:30pm, the time of the pre-game show and i was that bored i thought i would even be able to put up with Robbie "I have a premiership winners medal dont you know" Slater's shit. To my surprise though when i turned over the show was not on, the "Baseball" was still going and was "Live" so Fox Sports was staying with it. Fair enough i said, ill come back in 15 mins. Well i did come back, however it was still going, bottom of the 9th inning or something and from memory that was close to the end of the game, problem was the scores were tied. I was starting to get worried.
If you have ever bothered to watch a game of Baseball you will be aware of how utterly fuckin boring it is and how fuckin long the game takes to move along. Man i thought that cricket was sometimes boring, but it has nothing on this game. It is incredible, nothing happens for around 30 mins, then someone finally hits a ball, then nothing happens for another 30 mins. I have a theory as to why the game of baseball is slow, and it is this, all Americans are fat right, therefore it takes them a long time to move, hence why baseball is so slow. Then there is this point, a game of baseball can take over 5 hours, if you attend one of these games as a spectator how many hotdogs do you think you can eat in 5 hours? A shitload! There being the reason why so many Americans are fat, hence why baseball is so slow! Its a vicious cycle that those poor people are in, but then again anyone stupid enough to elect a halfwit like Bush not once, but twice deserves to be punished by being fat and made to watch baseball for 5 hours!
Problem is that i am neither fat, nor American, therefore i shouldnt be subject to that shit and needless to say i was pissed of big time that i missed basically the 1st half of the Jets v Wellington game. In the end the Jets won and i suppose thats all that counts.
Its just my opinion

I did the unthinkable!
Greetings,
It was Thursday afternoon and i was doing my usual thing of surfing the football websites looking for any piece of team news that would help me in my fantasy football title challenge when i came across a piece of news that sent my world into disarray. The word on the street was that the mighty Cese Fabregas might be rested for the game against Sunderland. "Bullshit" i hear you say, "who would do such a thing?", well they were my thoughts exactly, but after i got over the initial shock that this could be more than just a rumour i had a huge dilemma in front of me. Do i take the captains arm band off him, or more drastically, drop him altogether? Could i bring myself to do it?
"You would never drop Fabregas Sir Boom" Henry Bergkamp said to me, and he was right, im might look stupid but id like to think im not! hahaha but take the arm band from him, that was another thing. Before the weekend i was in 2nd place in the Black Ice league, 18 points behind the leader, Sir Boom needed to make a move!
Looking at my team i had several possible replacements for the Captaincy of the mighty "Highly Fabregas". With The Arsenal playing Sunderland, Robin Van Persie was an obvious choice. Manure were playing the footballing giants that are Wigan so my newest recruit, Ronaldo, looked a good bet, or even Petrov from Man City had been racking up the points of late. I was pretty sure that nobody else would be thinking about making the change i was toying with so it was either going to pay massive dividends, or if Fabregas did what he has been doing all season and chipped in with a goal or 2 it could backfire big time.
These are the decisions that can make or break a season, this is why we get paid the big bucks, this is why we become managers. It was not a decision i was taking lightly, so i put on my thinking music, Pearl Jam, sat back and contemplated.
Heading into the staff meeting i was confident that i had made the right choice, Fabregas was staying, but not as captain. Needless to say my backroom staff were in total shock. "Are you mad?", "Dont do it Sir Boom, this is madness!". This was not the worst of the news, i still had to tell them who id named as captain, so after the cries had died down and the women stopped the tears, i let them know Ronaldo got the arm band. "What? anyone but him! The man is nothing more than Manure scum", "You've lost the plot Sir Boom, we are doomed", i had to restore order.
"Right, shut it you lot, this is my team. I am the manager and what i say goes, dont think for a minute that i want this, it is just something that has to be done and if you dont like it you know where the door is. Maybe you can go and get a job at Leeds (8 wins and 1 draw nice work). I am Sir Boom and what i say goes!
In the end its results that matter.
Ronaldo 13 points, 26 as captain
Fabregas 4 points, 8 as captain
You do the math, am i a genius? Id like to think so.
Its just my opinion

Sydney need to sing a different tune
Greetings
Its been awhile between posts, and im sure "The Manager" thinks its due to me attending and chairing the annual "Cese Fabregas is God" summit, but he would be wrong. For once work has kept me busy and my spare time has been kept to a minimum. A massive amount has happened in the past week, The Arsenal have continued to show the world how real football should be played, Chelski did the unthinkable and saked their manager 2 months into a new season, and replaced him with a new emerging talent that is "The Manger". I have a strong feeling that this is the begining of the end for them and what alot of people predicted would happen is happening, Roman is losing the plot and Chelski are going to be left in a mess bigger than Leeds! Just a side note on Leeds, how good are they going? 7 wins from 7 starts in the new season, if only they didnt get hit with that 15 point deduction!
Im not even going to try and say anything about Arsenal, i couldnt do it justice, i really couldnt. They are leaving both Henry Bergkamp and I with massive smiles on our faces and they are everything you can possibly want from a football team.
Long may it continue!
This weekend brings with it the A-League game of the season so far, sydney fc v Newcastle Jets! My shirt has been sent to the dry cleaners, my hat in sitting on my bed side table so i can kiss the badge before i go to sleep and my flag has been ironed and is whispering to me "fly me Sir Boom, let me feel the wind", oh in time, in time. It should be a good game with sydney finally getting a win last week and the Jets by far the best team in the league. Juninho may return to add a bit of class to an otherwise boring and classless sydney outfit but in my opinion it wont help. I must admit to feeling some regret that The Manager wont be able to join me at the game to help in the celebrations due to his commitments with Chelski but im sure it wont be long until he has plenty of free time on his hands after Roman flips his lid and sacks him as well! Tosser!
If your at the game on Saturday night look for me, ill be the only person celebrating in a crowd of sky blue, and if you see me in any kind of trouble please help me, as im sure the folks from sydney wont take kindly to me rubbing it in their faces when we are 3-0 up! Although if they dont kill me that rubbish song they play before the players exit the tunnel will! What the fuck is up with that? Ive heard Phil Collins songs that get me more pumped up than that shit, its horrible. They went looking for their own version of "You'll never walk alone" and came back with something that not even John Williamson would put on his record!
Go the Jets

The Manager is on the move
Readers,
I just got the weirdest phone call. It was Chelsea's owner Roman Abramovich. He told me Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho has been fired from the English Premier League club and Romo wants me – he has been tracking the progress of my fantasy team – Boomgoesthedynamite (Sir Boom – you owe me a lot of royalties for the use of “Boom”) and likes where I’m taking the team and he wants to bring that gusto to The Bridge.
“Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today (Thursday) by mutual consent,'' said a one-line statement posted on the club's website.
Romo tells me that statement is “complete BS” He gave me a run down of the fateful conversation.
Romo: I want Ja Ja
Jose: You mean Ronaldinho
Romo: No… the real Ja Ja Binks – I’ve seen him in the movies and he’ll be great for the team. Shirt sales around the universe will skyrocket.
Jose: He isn’t real – you’re mad
Romo: I’m not mad I’m Romo – YOU’RE FIRED
I told Romo that Jose was a fool and if he wanted Ja Ja I’ll get him!
He doesn’t have to know it’s just a player in a suit…
So The Manager has a new job…the top job at Chelsea.
Sure, Sir Boom said he would never take the job no matter the money. But Sir Boom can’t get his head out of Flabbergas’ arse long enough to see the benefits.
Now all I have to do is find a Ja Ja suit bigger enough for Fat Lamps to fit in

Top of the league to you
Greetings,
Well let me begin by saying that i could not be happier after the weekends football! The Arsenal showed why playing football instead of playing crap works. Just how good were they? Unbelievable, i was lost for words, the way the never gave up, always knowing that they had goals in them was fantastic. The Scum were a pathetic excuse for a top 10 team and find themselves where they belong, in the bottom 4! hahahaha
The one problem that arose from the game was this - If Fabregas gets better, which will happen, who will stop him? Excuse my french here but he is just fuckin awesome, the boy is the best player in the world. If Jaa Jaa Ronaldinho Binks has a 100 million pound by-out clause in his contract, then whats Cese Fabregas worth? 200 million? The looks on the faces of the Scum supporters as his drive from 25 yards flew into the top corner were priceless! I love the man, i love the Arsenal and i love football!
Saturday night was perfect for me in a football sense, and it all started with the Jets winning and putting themselves 2nd. They still arnt playing great football but results are what counts and you cant complain with 2nd. A massive home crowd was on hand as well and its great to see, im sure it will only grow as everyone loves to watch a winning team. That brings me to Sydney, but what can you say about them?
I have to say regardless of the result Jimmy and I enjoyed the game. The goals were great, some good football was played in parts, but really at the moment Sydney just arnt good enough! I rang Henry Bergkamp at halftime and his 1st comment was "how much do you think we can get for the season tickets?" hahahaha a true Sydney fan! I must admit i am enjoying going to the Sydney games even if i am not a supporter, and there i think is the reason. Not being a supporter of the club i am able to go to the games and just enjoy the football and not be emotionally attached to the teams performance. As hard as Lady Boom finds it hard to understand sport can be a very emotional experience, especially when you love a team. I can still remember being there the night Australia beat Uruguay to make the World Cup, now that was an emotionally draining experience, and the 1st time id cried in around 15 years! I might have said it before but ill say it again, I love football!
Last of all id like to take my hat off to "The Cove" on Saturday night, you were awesome and if the players played half as well as you sing you would be top of the league!
Its just my opinion

Not being a supporter of the club i am able to go to the games and just enjoy the football and not be emotionally attached to the teams performance. As hard as Lady Boom finds it hard to understand sport can be a very emotional experience, especially when you love a team. I can still remember being there the night Australia beat Uruguay to make the World Cup, now that was an emotionally draining experience, and the 1st time id cried in around 15 years! I might have said it before but ill say it again, I love football!
Last of all id like to take my hat off to "The Cove" on Saturday night, you were awesome and if the players played half as well as you sing you would be top of the league!
Its just my opinion

At the end of the day we were outclassed!
Greetings
Last nights game against the Argies brought up a few interesting points for me. The major thing for me was the difference in the 2 halves, we went from putting up a good fight to just fighting fullstop. I have to say that what happened in the second half really disappointed me, it showed that the players had just given up trying to beat them by playing football and decided that the only way to beat them was to do just that and "beat" them.
Im reading a few other blog as im writing this and im not sure what some of these guys are on but i want some! One guy even suggests that Carney had a good game! Are you fuckin kidding me? He was the worst player on the park, and the biggest offender of the "beat em up" style tactics. The only way he looked any good was when Holman came on and proceeded to kick everyone in sight and pass every ball to someone in blue and white, thereby taking the focus off his useless arse.
Now you might say "Hang on Sir Boom, your being a bit harsh, if you had to mark Messi and he was making you look like a fool, im sure you would just start kicking him as well".........wrong! The 1st thing i would do is try and change my game to deal with the circumstances im facing, and hope to heaven that either that worked or he got injured, but to resort to spoil tactics makes me sick. You are basically saying to the world, "im not good enough, this guy is making me look like a muppet, so ill show him. ill beat the crap out of him". It just shows a lack of class and a horrible lack of ability. David Carney left the A-League in search of better football and a chance to improve his game, instead he went to the English Championship. Its amazing how quickly his game has changed, how quickly he has adapted to the thug type football used in the Championship. If he wants to improve his game i have a tip for him, learn how to dribble and cross dickhead, and your 1st point of reference should be the superstar who made you look like the gimp you are, Messi.
Just how good was he in the 1st half?! That is what is so beautiful about this game, players like that, that play without fear of doing something wrong, always believing that they can achieve anything. He was awesome to watch and its just a pity that he lost interest during the 2nd half after the 17th pointless kick he received, because i had the feeling he had a goal in him. Speaking of which, what more did Bresco have to do to score? Bloody hell, ive never seen anything like it.
So in the end we lost, but we were not shamed. Last nights game looks like it will be the last for Mr Arnold, and was it just me that heard a giant sigh of relief from millions of Aussie football fans? I hate him, i could write a whole novel on how and why i hate him, but there seems little point, the damage is done, time to look to the future.
Bring on the weekend, bring on the A-league, bring on the Jets, and bring on the North London Derby.
Go you Gooners!!!!!!!
