Mog, Gents and Scunny XI
After many senseless games, it appears that the Confederations Cup Final will feature Spain and Brazil. The ill-conceived tournament reaches its climax on 28 June as national champions from two of eight regions, which excludes Antarctica, compete. The tournament is completed just two days before Hibernians play Mogren in the Champions League qualifier 1st leg. Most football fans will know that Hibernians are the heavyweights of the Maltese league, while lesser known FK Mogren come from Montenegro. And then, of course, we have the vast array of tempting friendlies when teams such as Galmpton United & Torbay Gents take on a Plymouth XI. So, was there a closed season? If there was, it passed in a flash as time was filled in by big money transfers involving about 1/1000th of the clubs in England and pub bores telling you how they met a Scunthorpe United reserve in Dubai on holiday – and that he was a very nice guy. Not long till it all starts then and no Confederations Cup until 2011, when the eight countries with the most vowels will compete for the prized trophy.

Sorry, I am puzzled especially after a rather fine claret this evening which Sir Charles up the road gave me. A fine article, FootballCynic, as ever, but why a picture of the Wolverhampton Wanderers lucky draw girls? (FootballCynic writes: May I respectfully suggest, Lord Knebhead, that you zoom in and you will find out more about these girls?)

Your suggestion to zoom in on the young ladies was obviously given in good faith. Alas, Lady Knobhead walked into my study as I zoomed in at 350% on the body of the Brazilian lady. Her blow to the head was quite sharp, but in honesty I was merely trying to ascertain whether Miss World is an Iraqi or not as Iraq are otherwise unrepresented in the group. I thought the USA lady was so American if you get my drift. Anyway the cheaper Chardonnay tonight has galvanised me to book a short break in Galmpton with Lady Knobhead as a kind of make up present.
