So who or what the hell is Habib Habibou? It sounds like it could be a form of Muslim veil or come in a bag of Starmix. Apparently he is a striker who plays for Zulte Waregem. Plays for who? Exactly! It sounds like a nasty disease you might pick up in a Dutch brothel!
Is this April the First? Surely somebody is making this up! Apparently, Villa , Boro and ourselves are all chasing the guy on the back of TWELVE, YES TWELVE, league goals.
SVZW are a Belgian club apparently. You know, Belgium. Most boring country in the world but giants in the world of football!
The prospect of signing Haribo doesn't fill one with hope and expectation does it? Especially given he is African and we hope to sign him in January, just in time for the African Cup of Nations - if he is good enough to feature!
I hear Pam's in for Anelka on loan. Does like his Muslims doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteBelgium is a beautiful country actually. Rather puts the rest of your post in context. Actually it puts this blog in context. The Daily Sport of blogworld.
ReplyDeleteDid I say Belgium wasn't beautiful? I have travelled the length and breadth of the country and stayed in Antwerp, Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. The square in Brussels is stunning and Bruges - the Venice of the North - is quaint. That said, for excitement it is best to pop into Holland.
ReplyDeleteSo HF, you think he's a bad prospect because A. his funny name B. plays in Belgium (which you find boring) C. he's African.
ReplyDeleteBalanced that by the fact that he has trained and scored 2 for the development team and the coaches may judge him on that rather than his name that makes you giggle.
Also if actually bothered with even the slightest bit of research you would know his nation has not qualified for the African Cup.
Stani - I imagine he BS likes Muslim player cause they don't drink and tend not to get involved incidents like roasting pretty cashiers from Tesco's
I used to know his brother Habib Earth-Day... bit of a party animal. As an ex-resident of Amsterdam I can confirm that your assessment of the low countries is spot on.
ReplyDeleteYou do take things literally don't you 1919?
ReplyDeleteNow, if this was a player who was scoring regularly in the Bundesliga, or in Seria A or in Spain or in the Premiership, instead of in Belgium, might we not have more reason to be excited? As for the funny name, if he was any good, might we not have heard of him with a name like that?
Scored twice for the development squad! Wow! Sears scored twice every bloody game for the development squad!
As for the conduct of Muslims, not all live their lives by the standards of the Qur'an. Haven't you heard about how some Muslims in the Midlands and North of England are using underage white girls for sex, gang raping them? And if you think all Muslims are teetotal, you are very much mistaken. Stani no doubt meets the standards but there are good Muslims and bad Muslims, as I am sure he will recognise!
Naughty boy Marty!
I commend you for your knowledge and understanding 19:19. God bless.
ReplyDeleteI think Faubert is a Muslim too, and Faye, more obviously. Then we have the youngster Abdulla.
Interesting fact is when Edin Dzeko was going through his purple patch earlier this season, he was fasting at the same time. Don't know how he did it, as they were long this year.
Of course HF, Ribery is apparently a Muslim, and look what he's been up to. Let's just say they're less likely to.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the issue Stani. I have breakfast, bowl of porridge, at 6.30 before the sun is up and don't eat again until 6pm, when the sun is down.
ReplyDeleteThat's not even 12 hours HF! You telling me you did that during Ramadan when it was around 17 hours? And no fluids either, remember. It is hard, but it has to be, right?
ReplyDeleteYep, when you live in a desert climate, the government has to condition the poor to go without food for when harvests fail, otherwise, God forbid, the poor would turn on the rich and storm the grain stores - so "God" decrees fasting!
ReplyDeleteIt has to be mate, it has to be. Like the Tories are telling us we have to cut, cut, cut but, God forbid, wont approve a bank transaction tax that would clear the debt in three years!
religion and politics there to subdue the masses
ReplyDeleteHahahaaa! I thought you'd be accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist HF, never thought the day would come when I'd be accusing you!
ReplyDeleteand football Deanne..
ReplyDeleteFor Christ's sake cant we keep religion out of this (Ha LOL)
ReplyDeleteYou have to remember Big Sam had a habit of bringing in unknowns at Bolton that turned out to be very good players some sold on for a lot dosh
ReplyDeleteOh look he's got a foreign name - might have been funny in the 50's but it embarrassing these days to think a unusual name is somehow amusing.
ReplyDeleteBTW Bruges and Ghent are on top of each other as are Antwerp and Brussels - hardly the length and breadth of the country. Brussels and Bruges are the two furthest away from each other and you can do that in about an hour and half drive.
If you had been to Spa, Liege or Sauer I might have, for once, thought you knew what you were talking about.
"As for the funny name, if he was any good, might we not have heard of him with a name like that?"
ReplyDeleteTo be honest mate, did you know Demba Ba before we signed him? Look how amazing he is now.
Not knocking your religion Stani, but doesn't knowing that you will be fed at a certain hour later in the day defeat the object?
ReplyDeleteCome on Stani mate
ReplyDeleteSand and grit in dusty climate = circumcision
Pork doesn't discolour in hot climates = ban on pork.
Food shortages = Fasting
There's a logical reason behind all these religious rules. Tell people God says so and they will obey and wont blame the government!
Give yourself a name 1128: How about Ivor Po Face? Allardyce will sign you!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the object TIS?
ReplyDelete11:28 hahaha yes I thought the same when I read that - hardly the whole country - notice how HF only goes to the tourist hot spots - reckon he's on a Saga coach!
ReplyDeleteYou want me to list all the places I've been to in Belgium? Bloody hell, that could be boring. Suffice to say that I entered the country from Luxembourg and caught a ferry home from Dunkirk, leaving Belgium south west of Ostende (which we visited first - highly recommended.) On another trip we took the ferry to Zeebrugge and traveled to Antwerp. We enjoyed a weekend in Bruges years back - and visited Ghent - and a weekend in Brussels. All journeys were made in a BMW actually, not a coach. Still, you dream of me on a SAGA holiday if you like.
ReplyDeleteSorry Stani - I meant fasting.
