Footblog
Read the funny quotes sections of any football magazine or newspaper and, amongst the endless Bobby Robson quotes - "If you count your chickens before their hatched, they won’t lay their eggs.." - you will see many references taken from the website of Crystal Palace’s Finnish defender Aki Riihilahti.
I’m not sure if you could call the site a weblog, but he posts regular comments on life as a professional footballer. It’s probably a bit lame to make fun of his use of the English language (as my knowledge of Finnish is less than spectacular) but he has some genuinely enlightening (and bizarre) opinions and comments. Choice cut from his latest entry -
"I was well excited after the Barnsley game. We won. We were back in business. We played reasonably well and had a good striking distance in the league. I scored for a change. Happy and confident about football and life I even decided to buy a new table lamp.
Less than two weeks later, after some horrific results and poor performances many things look not as happy days as they were. League table looks now in our eyes more like that minging woman bus driver from South Park than sweet Shakira. Even the table lamp is gone. It was accidentally executed in a moment of anger after Watford game."
