News - Man Utd midfielder Paul Scholes retires aged 36

Image
Manchester United's Paul Scholes has announced his retirement aged 36. Midfielder Scholes made his United debut in 1994, making 676 appearances, and will now join the coaching staff. The news came after he helped the club win a record 19th league title, the 10th of his career, and his last game was Saturday's Champions League final loss to Barcelona. "This was not a decision I've taken lightly but I feel now is the right time for me to stop playing," he said. The famously low key Scholes stated: "I am not a man of many words but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour. "To have been part of the team that helped the club reach that 19th title is a great privilege." Manager Sir Alex Ferguson paid tribute, calling him "a truly unbelievable player. "Paul has always been inspirational to players of all ages and we know

Sports - Magical Barcelona too good for Manchester Utd

Image
The Spanish champions outclass England's number one team with a 3-1 win at Wembley. Barcelona seal the Champions League title with a stylish 3-1 victory over Manchester United. A neat finish from Wayne Rooney in reply to a Pedro opening goal meant that things were all square at half-time. But a strikes from distance from World Player of the Year Lionel Messi and David Villa was enough to claim victory for the Catalan giants. hahahahahahaha sorry cant win everything Man U, outplayed and beaten by the best! how does it feel? Sizzle, losing, BYE!!!

Poem - Within My Arms

Image
Within My Arms I don't have superhuman strength to hold up 50 tons, Nor do I hold a crystal ball to see what we become, I cannot stop a hurricane turn rapid winds to calm, But rest assured that I can keep you safe within my arms , I won't halt a speeding train by standing on the tracks, I don't make crazy promises that I'd do this and that, This world is tough and full of hateful ways to cause you harm, But rest assured that I can keep you safe within my arms , I can't break boulders with my clutch nor make a mountain move, At times I cumulate fervor although it seems abstruse, What you invoke is me holding you tighter in my palms, So rest assured that I will keep you safe within my arms. - Fonzo

News - Barack Obama says he would repeat Pakistan raid

Image
Barack Obama says he respects Pakistani sovereignty but would go after another 'very high-value target' if found to be there, I guess we knew this was a matter of time on the cusp of Team America's big victory they have the morale and public behind them for ridding the world of evil and now there will undoubtedly be a new vicious tyrant in Pakistan that they will see as a 'very high-value target'. I had no faith in Obama from the start when everybody was getting gassed about him being the first "black" president and that he was going to be soo different. Alex Jones' Obama Deception DVD cleared that up straight away, and when the high priest Vatican Assassin that is Charlie Sheen publicly requested a meeting with President Barack Obama to urge him to reopen the official investigation into 9/11 in light of the fact that the majority of the 9/11 Commission members have now publicly gone on record to express their conviction that the government agreed t

Poem: My Compass

Image
My Compass When I hold you in my palm you give me clear direction, I map my travel plans in mind and focus where I'm heading, If I didn't have you I'd be stuck of that I'm certain, Stranded out on a limb maybe going around in circles, I persevere my route is clearly accurate with you, An aid to orienteer that navigates and guides me through, While I find my way on forth, Glad-fully your my true north, As long as we're together, I know that I'll never get lost. - Fonzo

Poem: Jealousy

Image
Jealousy Foul as the wicked stench of rotting viscera, an ugly head rears its gaze, The sight gut-wrenching and awfully triste jealousy is the name, Contemptuous of ones difference with the drive to ascend, A body of lies hold a tempest impostor living within, Why do you hold the fortitude for such hostility, We both came from the same struggles yet you envy me, Your malice I am not concerned with, Cannot stop my higher yearning, I prey to God for safety from the hateful blood your churning, Yet you came as a friendly face so I was clueless, Left my mouth with the bitter taste of lies and hubris, No now your smile disguised the ruthless, Iniquitous thoughts that your consumed with, I never new this voracious mantra, Portaged by the green-eyed monster, Hate what you cannot conquer, fear what you don't understand, Brain ill-equipped to process what is close at hand, It transforms to heinous intentions, Envy forms thus cause declension, Oh! A wasted form of energy, Won't you over

#FonzoFiles: Mathew Popo - Higher Heights!

Image
Good Evening Warlocks!! :) I wanted to write this Fonzo file introducing an article from someone I went to school with some years ago. Recently I've been in somewhat of a tailspin and have been prioritizing and re-evaluating a lot of my life choices past, present and future. Part of this has been looking at furthering my education and re-embarking on study. Today I came across an inspirational article from Matthew Popo which has evoked positivity. Hence forth I want to share with y'all a good read as I'm very proud of the brother. A good message to young black males and an example of positivity that deserves to be highlighted in conditions where negativity is so often heightened in the media and minds of people. I wish Mathew all the best and kudos for his success. Enjoy !

News: Footballer Odemwingie saved from racist Russia

Image
Peter Odemwingie reckons regaining his smile by escaping Russia's racist fans has inspired his sensational debut Premier League season. The 29-year-old striker has smashed 15 goals since joining West Brom last August from Russian club Lokomotiv Moscow for a bargain £2.5million. The Nigerian international, who has become a cult hero at Albion and has scored in the Baggies' last FIVE successive matches, invited MirrorFootball into his city centre apartment in Birmingham ahead of today's visit by Everton. Odemwingie can see The Hawthorns from his high-rise luxury penthouse and is loving life in England. In contrast, he was subjected to abuse in Russia, where fans cruelly mocked his departure with a huge ironic banner saying: 'Thanks West Brom'. But Odemwingie has had no hassle here and says his contentment has fuelled his superb form after being named April's Premier League player of the month. "I feel happy and good in this country and am playing

Poem: Masculine Motility

Image
Masculine Motility Often it is misconstrued that all men hold an ego, Some are really sensitive just shrouded with machismo, Expected to emote resilience everywhere that we go, Some too hard upon themselves but me I keep it real though, We all are human be that mindful, Cut me and I bleed just like you, Yeah I cry when pains inflicted, To whom I show this is restricted, Some guys masquerade through time hold feelings but don't show them, Often female tendencies are labeled with emotions, So the average guy in mind's evasive of that notion, And garners through the years the pride to walk with something broken, If you look beneath the surface, Explore what a mans real worth is, Delicate beneath the armor, Yearning for a loyal partner, Ye shall find a humble soul that's laudable in splendor, Enriched strength that influence anaclisis agenda, Incomplete without a woman leaves a heart annealing, Hardening from ardors deep burn in turn men too have feelings. - Alfonso P.
