Tits and Acid

(image from here)
Some days I wonder whether I should bother. Today is one of those day.
Here's the first 2 stories I read today.
Alan Hansen gives his predictions for the Premier League. After "detailed" analysis I wonder who he'll predict to win it?
when it comes to the title, my tip is Liverpool
That's a surprise...
Rio Ferdinand's online magazine has hired a woman with big breasts:

The 28H former Maxim cover girl was picked from hundreds of other hopefuls after impressing Ferdinand during an interview. ...

He gave the Geordie lass a role on his online magazine, handing out relationship advice to men who have upset their girlfriends.

England ace Ferdinand rescued the beauty after a host of modelling companies told her she was too curvaceous to become a lingerie model.

We reckon they've scored the biggest own goal of the season...

At this point I was really tempted to give it up for the day. However, there is a couple of slightly more interesting stories about. Jonny Evans returns to Manchester United for treatment on an injury, but it doesn't sound like it'll effect him playing on Sunday:

Nigel Worthington has come to Manchester United's rescue by agreeing to let Jonny Evans return to Old Trafford for treatment, rather than risk aggravating a slight ankle injury against Israel at Windsor Park tonight.

With Nemanja Vidic already ruled out of Sunday's opening Barclays Premier League game with Birmingham, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was eager to safeguard Evans' fitness and ensure he was able to continue alongside Rio Ferdinand at the heart of the champions' defence.

A few quotes from Sir Alex which seem to come from an interview with "Inside United" magazine make the papers. On not signing Ronaldinho in 2003:
"I thought we'd clinched the deal (for Ronaldinho), but when I flew to Paris to speak with him, the goalposts seemed to have moved somehow.

"His people complained that to me that it didn't seem as though they were getting the same deal we'd previously agreed. The next thing I know, he was at Barcelona the following day.

"It was a big disappointment at the time, but we signed Cristiano Ronaldo that very same summer and perhaps we wouldn't have ended up with Ronaldo had we got Ronaldinho.

"We probably would have kept tabs on Ronaldo, though, because we had a precontract agreement with Sporting.

"However, maybe we wouldn't have accelerated the Ronaldo deal in the way we did."

And on buying Scottish things in England:

Ferguson said: "I can get most things down here now. I get haggis from a butcher in Wigan and I buy potato scones from Marks & Spencer.

"The one thing you can't get down here is a square or 'lorne' sausage. It's exactly what it sounds like – a sausage in the shape of a square.

"It's a peculiar Glaswegian delicacy!"
And that's the lot.
