LAP Blog: Welcome.

Hi,

My name is Jack Ling, an aspiring young journalist based in Ascot, Berks. I created this Blog in an attempt to inflict my incessant need for a bit of a rant upon other members of the Football public.

This, I hasten to add, is no ordinary Blog. Being 15 years of age, my writing is inevitably tarnished by the occasional hormonal outburst that is triggered by the sheer passion I have about the current Footballing spectrum and the stories it conjures.

I analyse all of those stories that you just can't get your head around, such as the current Ricardo Izecson Kaka situation that is forcing the Football purists among us into spasms of discontent. (Yes, the current financial injection into Football is disillusioning me, but isn't it good that an astonishingly talented Brazilian playmaker may be playing in the Premier League come february?)

Last year, I created my own Football magazine too- called "LAP" (Life's A Pitch), and sold it in various shops around the Ascot/Sunninghill area. It was a futile attempt to disfigure the irritating fanaticism the area has with horses. I have instead turned to the internet, and Blogging is much cheaper than paying for my magazines to be printed.

I would finally like to add that I am a Newcastle United fanatic, and so please do not be deterred if I decide to write a couple of articles on the Toon once in a while.

Keep reading (Go on, save this in your favourites!)

Situations Scolari

Fancy a flutter on the latest Premier League manager to be sacked? I do.

I'm not a betting man, ehem.. boy, but Chelsea's recent three-nil defeat at the hands of Mr.Mind-Games Ferguson, as well as the embarrasing late show against Stoke at Stamford Bridge last weekend has led me to believe that Manager Luis Felipe Scolari, a man who has reached tumoltuous heights in Management at international level, is not exactly set to recieve a Valentine's Card from Roman Abramovich this February- unless things drastically improve at Chelsea. I'm not writing this Blog to stir rumours that Abramovich and Felipao are secretly exchanging cards bearing romantic slogans in between images of Cupid, but I am suggesting that, because of the current atrocious economic downturn, Roman's loss of £3,000,000,000 has led to his increased frustration with Chelsea's recent performances, and he is threatening to act upon this decline with something a little more severe than the mere furrowing of a brow- should things not improve under Luis.
