    The Ginger Pele can be found scoring his hat trick here:



    'We've got Pele,
    The Ginger Pele,
    I just don't think you understand,
    He's Richie Wellens' man,
    He's better than Zidane,
    We've got the Ginger Pele.'

    Richie Wellens is our manger, btw. :)

    Today is Finlands most important football (soccer) match in our history, if we win tonight we qualify to our first ever major tournament, European Championship. Our opponent is lowly Liechtenstein, so the chances are pretty good, and even if we fail to win tonight there's still one more game to play on Monday against Greece. GO FINLAND! HYVÄ SUOMI!

    Huge congratulations, I honestly thought the team with Litmanen was good enough to qualify, but you've made it.

    How The White Death isn't a film I don't know.

    I'm no fan of the premier league as you know, but I'll have a look and see what I come up with.

    I'm off to Salford tomorrow to see if Swindon can reclaim their record as being the only team to have beaten the other 91 professional teams in England in competitive matches. The only reason we've only got 90 on our record is we haven't played Salford before.

    Well enjoy the game my friend. So you are telling me you won against Man United or Arsenal at some point? Wow that is impressive actually.

    Yep. Every single one. (Bar Salford!!).

    We beat Arsenal at Wembley to win the League Cup...

    In 1969, on League Cup final day,
    The Arsenal came to Wembley,
    They walked up Wembley way,
    They thought they'd have it easy,
    They thought they win the cup,
    Along came Swindon Town FC and fucked the bastards up!'

    When Litmanen played, we had what they called a golden generation, Hyypiä was in his prime, Niemi in goal and Forssell was banging in goals. Maybe the problem back then was, we didn't have enough good players around those guys to perform consistently. We had some excellent games followed up by disastrous ones. It's really a shame that Litmanen never had a chance to show his talents on the biggest stage, he is arguably one of the best players ever not to play in a major tournament along the likes of Giggs for Wales.
