Observations from Yesterday

Does anyone know why the fella dressed as zippy got thrown out befoe yaya scored?

My mate from work was mates with him, he told me a blue or few blues was complaining they couldnt see and complained to stewards. Stewards got all excited and got into a bit of a scuffle with zippy. The picture my m8 showed me on his mobile of the scuffle is hilarious!

That's Bungle without his costume.

You're reading far too much into Yaya's celebration there...footballers do the 'angry' celebration thing on their own all the time where they get all full of bravado and stuff. He's fine.

This.

I think he's pissed at Nasri to tell you the truth. He seemed to avoid being mobbed but shoved Nasri away and Sammi even went up to Yaya after and grabbed his arm to talk to him. Then when Nasri scored the last one to congratulate him was Yaya(Even Kompany got there before him) and he just gave his hair a bit of a tussle and walked off.

I always think the same whenever I look at Nasris goal at molineux last season, Yaya was pissed about that one as well and again seems a little reluctant to congratulate him

Match was on the 23rd day of Ramadan and in a country where the sun doesn't set until 9pm at this time of year. Is it a coincidence that the three players in a bad mood were Yaya, Kolo and Edin? They were probably just hungry...

I think sub-Saharan Muslims generally consider the Night of Decrees to fall on the 27th.

Also, Dzeko doesn't fast when playing. You can see him drinking from a water bottle in a few of our pre-season games. Nasri also seemed to be in rather high spirits...

Up to each muslim the extent to which they carry the fast, taking water doesn't mean he isn't fasting at all. You do know Ramadan moves each year right? Not that long ago that it was in November...

I have never, ever, ever, ever heard that before. And, living in a town which is 96% Muslim for a considerable amount of time as well as visiting a number of times during Ramadan when not living there, I find this little nugget very surprising. The way I've always known it is "one drop of water = breaking fast", although some people don't fast every day, admittedly, especially if it would affect their health or career (and therefore their family's wellbeing). Some play catch-up later in the year, some don't.
