Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 From Football365:Before the Chelsea v United game, Sky ran a feature about Nani, in which Geoff Shreeves conducted the standard fawning interview with yer man.'Nani remains a humble and private person, of whom we know little about,' quoth Shreeves.True enough, to an extent, but we were instantly reminded of the following story from The Sun in November, which we require little excuse to crack out again:'SOCCER star Nani has a life-size marble statue of HIMSELF in his lounge. Visitors to the Manchester United winger's mansion are amazed to see the carved figure dressed in his red shirt and white shorts - with his football medals around its neck. The bizarre statue of Portuguese ace Nani, 24, is topped off with a jester-style hat given by a fan.'One recent guest at the house in Wilmslow, Cheshire, said: "It stops you in your tracks. He's placed it on a stand in the middle of his living room. It's massive, you can't miss it. "And it's weird when he stands next to it because it's so life-like. He's also stuck a red shirt with his name and number on it - and there are about five medals around its neck. Then he's put a jester hat with bells on the statue's head. It really surprised me when I saw it - it's just a bit of an odd thing to have in your lounge." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 pretty facking unjustified judging by his performance today, if you ask me...Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has scored highly in 'self-perceived competence' after Arsenal's sport psychologist Jacques Crevoisier revealed that the Danish striker's mark was off the scale.Bendtner has made several comments in the media over the years highlighting his belief in himself and many have suggested that his confidence borders on arrogance. However, Arsenal use psychological tests to determine their players' mental abilities in relation to their footballing abilities and the striker is certainly not lacking in one area."One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is,'' Crevoisier told Swedish magazine Offside. ''On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! We have never seen that before. Pat Rice [Arsenal's assistant manager] was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing."When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault. You might say that's a problem, and to a certain degree it can be. But you can also view it as this guy has a remarkably ability to come back after set-backs."The test is made-up of 117 questions designed to test players' self-belief, concentration levels and determination and is overseen by Crevoisier, who specialises in working with young French players at France's Clairefontaine academy as well as the Gunners' stars.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 A bid to sign Barcelona's Lionel Messi has led to the suspension of the president of a French village side. Cédric Enjolras, the president of FC Borne, a second division team in the Haute-Loire league, made the official offer to Barcelona this week. It may have been a joke but the French Football Federation has failed to see the funny side.Borne, who are based in a village of 400 inhabitants, were looking to add the 2009 and 2010 world player of the year to their ranks but were blocked by France's governing body. The transfer offer was intercepted by the player registration office of the FFF, which refused to submit it to the Spanish FA. Although Barcelona were not exactly likely to accept the bid, they were denied the opportunity to even read it.But the killjoys did not stop there. Enjolras has been suspended from his position for six months."One cannot accept such behaviour. It is perhaps a joke but we are here to judge the facts," said Yves Begon, the head of the FFF registration office.Enjolras, bemused by the FFF's lack of proportion, explained what had happened: "To submit bids among small clubs, you need to fill out forms on the internet. I decided to register a bid so I typed the name Lionel Messi, his date of birth and his parent club into the system. Then the league transmitted the request to the federation. They were shocked by it and refused to send it to their Spanish counterparts. I have been suspended for six months, of which three are suspended. It was just a joke, to amuse friends."I'm going to have spend three months in the bar."Every cloud has a silver lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
