El gran derby Español se aproxima. Se dice que este partido será de lujo, con tantas estrellas en el campo de juego del Barcelona, empezando por Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Iniesta, Puyol, y entre otros, pero lo que esta por verse es si la compra de este verano  del Real Madrid, valió la pena, es lo que dice ser? Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Benzema, Xabi Alonso y compañía serán capaces de derrotar al mejor equipo que han tenido los Azul grana?

Quien será el ganador?

La compra exorbitante de Florentino Pérez o el talento de la cantera del Barca?

Mira el partido este domingo 29 de Noviembre a las 19:00, un show inmejorable, grita, salta, llora y haz que tus vecinos se enfaden del ruido que harás, viviendo este clásico del futbol.

Deja tus comentario, como será? Quien será superior?

El regreso de CR9 marcara una diferencia?

Aunque el domingo se juega el derbi español entre Barcelona y Real Madrid, el culé Xavi Hernández y el merengue Karim Benzema se adelantaron un par de días y disputaron el clásico de forma virtual, en el videojuego FIFA 10 para PlayStation 3, en su modalidad online (cada uno desde su ciudad de residencia), donde el resultado fue de 3-0 a favor del Madrid, con los tres goles de Cristiano Ronaldo.

El dato curioso fue que el delantero francés, quien obviamente eligió al Real Madrid, mandó a la banca a Raúl, capitán de los blancos, y prefirió a Gonzalo Higuiaín como compañero en el ataque (conocedor, no? jaja).

“El equipo que he puesto no se si saldrá en el Camp Nou. En el juego se cambia mucho pero en el campo es diferente. No se si jugará Raúl, es un gran jugador. Desconozco lo que pasará por su cabeza cuando se entere que no le puse”, comentó Benzema a los medios de comunicación.

Por su parte, también hizo una observación sobre su falta de gol en el videojuego.

“Espero que poder marcar al Barcelona, pero lo importante es que el equipo gane el partido. Mientras que ganemos da igual quien marque”, dijo.

Sin duda algo que se vuelve cada vez más popular es que fubolistas e incluso los medios de comunicación usen los videojuegos como una forma entretenida de simular los partidos importantes que se llevarán a cabo en la vida real (curiosidad, innovación, o nada mejor que hacer?), mostrando la importancia cada vez más notorias de esta industria, que se hace cada vez más presente en las calles por medio de anuncios (incluso espectaculares), en televisión con comerciales y obviamente en internet.

Pues a ver qué tal resulta ser el partido de la vida real este domingo, en el Camp Nou. Es un partido muy esperado, pues será la primera vez que midan fuerzas los dos equipos reforzados con sus estrellas: Cristiano Ronaldo y Karim Benzema con el Madrid, e Ibrahimovic con el Barcelona, además del ingrediente especial que siempre representa Messi.

Que gane el más fuerte (bueno, mejor el Madrid, no? jaja).

Saludos!

Anthony Bolton the legendary Fidelity fund manager wrote an exclusive article reviewing the past decade
and making predictions for the next one. His wide ranging piece covers the future of commodities, emerging markets, growth in the West and fund management.

Given the great man’s surprise return to fund management with a China fund, Credencis reproduce below exclusive extracts:-

Emerging markets

The stars of the past decade have been the emerging markets – Asia ex Japan has risen from 5% to 14% and the Rest of the World from 5% to 13% – so that these markets (which include some no longer categorised as ‘emerging’) account for over a quarter of the investible universe today. These shifts have resulted from a combination of currency and share price movements as well as new companies coming to the market and the inclusion in the index of some new markets.

Having an exposure to emerging markets over the past 10 years has been a significant advantage and, given the ongoing impact of the financial crisis on the developed world, I expect the relative growth of the emerging markets to
continue.

Shifting sectors

It’s not just different markets that have waxed and waned but also sectors. In the UK, basic resources, oil and gas between them accounted for just 13% of the market a decade ago – today that has more than doubled, largely at the
expense of healthcare and telecoms. The increased weighting of commodity shares reflects their strong performance
in the last bull market and strong bounce this year. However, I am less optimistic about these sectors looking forward and think the best areas will be companies that can show above average growth in a low growth world. Being in
the right sectors has mattered in the last 10 years and will continue to do so.

But the winners in a bull market are rarely the same as the leaders in the previous cycle.

Impact of the financial crisis

I guess any review of the last 10 years is not complete without some reference to the financial crisis. This was the sixth banking crisis I have experienced in my 38 years in the business and I’m sure it won’t be the last. We are fortunate to have governments in the West who have learnt from the past and acted quickly and decisively to address the situation.
My concern is that, in solving today’s immediate problem, they have saddled some of the world’s leading economies with a longterm cost in the form of interest payments on a much increased level of government debt. I believe that
this will result in lower growth rates in the West than would otherwise have been the case.

How professional fund management will evolve

Looking forward, I would be surprised if the next 10 years were as disappointing as the last 10 for the world’s stock markets as a whole. However, even if they are not, I think investors’ recent experience will lead during the next decade to a blurring of the edges between hedge funds and the traditional longonly world.

The Ucits III framework is already pushing in this direction. As my two successors on the Fidelity Special Situations and Fidelity Global Special Situations funds demonstrate, the fund manager of the future will need to be skilled in being short of shares as well as long.

How to run money

I think that there are three things an investor must do:
• be organised
• focus on the different and unusual
• and know what you are not interested in.

Flash Interview

Jornalista – Que comentário faz ao jogo?

Jorge Jesus – Não nos deixarem ganhar. O FDP do lampião do Pedro Proença roubou a gente. Assim é impossível seramos campeões.

Jornalista – Mas o Benfica nem rematou à baliza…

Jorge Jesus – E o que é que isso interessa? Temos uma eficácia muito boa para conseguir marcar sem rematar! NÃO NOS DEIXAREM GANHAR! MAS A GENTE VAMOS GANHAR NEM QUE SEJA A TAÇA CARLOS ALBERTO!

Jornalista – Carvalhal, entrou a ganhar no campeonato…

Carvalhal – É verdade, fomos superiores.

Jornalista – Mas sente que foram beneficiados?

Carvalhal – Acha mesmo? Ter que jogar de inicio com Polga acha que beneficia alguém?

Saudações Leoninas!

It’s tremendous news that the brewery museum in Burton upon Trent is to reopen, though my joy that Britain, one of the world’s four or five greatest brewing nations, may finally get the celebration of its beery history that it deserves was turned down a notch by a statement from one of the people who deserves maximum praise for campaigning on behalf of the museum’s future.

Burton, he said, and he really really REALLY ought to know better, “changed the face of brewing in the 19th century with India Pale Ale and then Pale Ale for the domestic market,” which were “the first pale beers brewed anywhere in the world.”

No they blahdy weren’t – absolutely, definitely, not not not. Pale beers were being brewed long before IPA: millennia before IPA, probably. The sun-dried malt that was most likely one of the raw materials for Sumerian beer must have been very pale. Odd Nordland, the great Norwegian brewing historian, collected records of beer being made from sun-dried malt in Norway, in places like Rogaland, on the south-west coast, which “produced a very pale ale”. If you can make sun-dried pale malt in Rogaland, you can make it anywhere in Britain, and I find it almost inconceivable that pale ales weren’t being brewed with pale sun-dried malt from the moment the first brewers arrived in these islands, which was around 6,000 or so years ago.

Now, sun-dried malt, particularly in not-so-sunny climates, is not going to be easy to make and probably wasn’t common: if you sun-dry sprouting wet grain you’re risking it going mouldy before it dries, or taking too long to dry and becoming useless to brew with. Very likely most malt in our northern lands was always dried using artificial heat. If you want something organic left dry, but pale, you’ve got to dry it slowly, over a low heat – think of trying to make pale toast. That’s not necessarily difficult with fires of wood, or straw, or furze, which is what pre-Industrial Revolution maltsters used, but then you have a smoke issue: the longer the time your green malt spends over the fire, the more smoke flavour it will pick up. Smoke flavour in ale was not what most people wanted, as commentators such as William Harrison in 1587 and William Ellis, author of the London and Country Brewer, first published in 1736, make clear.

It was possible to make pale malt dried over wood: here’s William Ellis in another of his many books, The Timber Tree Improved, published in 1744, talking about the hazel tree:

“I must not pass over one other Perfection of the Wood of the Hasel, and that is, what I learned of a Maltster, near Southampton, in 1738; who told me, this Wood, above all others, when cut two Years, will burn well, and dry Malt both pale and sweet, which no other Wood, as he knew of, would, because this Wood has so thin a Rind, and is of so soft a Nature, that it quickly burns away, without sending up that pernicious Smoke, as almost all others are incident to.”

But hazel trees do not produce much burnable wood. The answer was coke, that is, coal heated in the absence of oxygen so that all the unwanted gases, in particular hydrogen sulphide, are driven off. What is left will give heat, but little or no smoke to taint the malt. Coke was invented in the North of England (it appears to be a North Country dialect word, originally meaning “core”, as if the “coakes” were the “core” of the coal), apparently in the 17th century. Its use to make malt was first taking place in Derbyshire in the early 1640s, according to John Houghton, an apothecary and part-time journalist, who issued a weekly bulletin in the 1690s and early 1700s, price two pence, called A Collection for Improvement of Agriculture and Trade. In one issue in 1693 he talked about the coal miners of Derbyshire, and added:

” The reason of Derby malt being so fine and sweet, my friend thinks is the drying it with cowks, which is a sort of coal … ’tis not above half a century of years since they dried their malt with straw (as other places now do) before they used cowkes which made that alteration since that all England admires.”

If Houghton was right in his dates, “half a century of years” before 1693 puts the start of drying malt with coke in Derbyshire back to around 1643 or so. Being shrewd observers, you’ll have noticed that Houghton does not actually mention the colour of the malt made in Derbyshire by drying it with coke, so while it might be a reasonable guess to say some or all of it was pale, to leap to the conclusion that brewers using Derby coke-dried malt were definitely making pale ales in the 1640s would be wrong. However, another late 17th century writer, Mr Christopher Merret*, “surveyor of the Port of Boston”, fills the breach, though writing about Lincolnshire, not Derby. In a paper called “An Account of Several Observables in Lincolnshire, Not Taken Notice of in Camden, or Any Other Author”, presented to the Royal Society in 1695-97, he wrote:

“Here Cool are Charred and then call’d Couk, wherewith they Dry Malt, giving little Colour or Taste to the Drink made therewith.”

So pale ale was definitely being made in Lincolnshire in the 1690s from coke-dried malt. But it was the maltsters of Derby who were producing a product from their coke-fired kilns that gave the local brewers a great reputation: Nathaniel Salmon, writing in 1728, said: “Derby Town, famous for good Beer …”. Quite likely all or most of the production was pale ale: the county was certainly a centre for pale ale production by the middle of the 18th century. The London Magazine said in April 1752, in an article called “A description of Derbyshire”, that the people there “make great quantities of malt and are famous for their pale ale.” Derby was well ahead of Burton in its development as a brewing centre. The historian RA Mott, writing in 1965, said of the town:

“In 1693, when there were 694 family houses, there were 76 malt houses and 120 ale houses, so that malt-making and brewing must have been the dominant occupations. A list of those occupied in the wool, leather, wood, metal and stone trades and the normal supply occupations left room for some 200 maltsters and brewers. Much malt was carried to the ferry on the river Trent, five miles away, whence it could go by water to London; 300 pack-horse loads (each of 6 bushels which each contained 40lb) or 32 tons were taken weekly into Lancashire and Cheshire.”

Mott, who was writing a history of coke making, says it was the demand for coke to dry malt, rather than to warm houses or make iron, that led to the rise of “merchant” coke-makers.

The earliest mention of “pale ale” I have been able to find comes from Nathan Bailey’s Universal etymological English dictionary of 1675, in an entry on “slape ale” (“pale Ale, as opposed to Ale, medicated with Wormwood or Scurvy Grass”). From the start of the 18th century, however mentions of pale ale become more frequent. A song in praise of Burton ale in a collection from 1709 called The Bottle Companions or Bacchanalian Club, being a Choice Collection of merry Drinking Songs and Healths, began: “Give us noble Ale, of the right Burton pale, and let it be sparkling and clear,” letting us know that Burton brewers, quite possibly buying their malt from Derby up the road, were brewing pale ale at least 300 years ago. One strange reference comes from a book published in 1713 called Whig and Tory, or Wit on both Sides, where among the satirical attacks is a poem that includes the lines:

“From Pale Ale with Lime in’t and Parsons’s Bub
From the Gang of Rogues at a Calve’s head Club
And the fiery Tryal of Burges’s Tub
Libera nos .”

“Parsons’s bub” – “bub” is strong drink – was probably a reference to Sir John Parsons, owner of the Red Lion brewery at St Katharine’s, near the Tower of London, later one of the great porter breweries, and the “Calve’s Head Club” was an association of radicals who met to celebrate the beheading of Charles I. Who Burges was I don’t know, although “tub” was an early 18th century slang term for a pulpit. But what’s this “Pale ale with Lime in’t”? Is this the earliest known reference to the twisted tastes that eventually led to Corona?

Whig and Tory was written at the end of the reign of Queen Anne, and it leads us on to a passage in the famous narrative by “Obadiah Poundage”, published in 1760, which said:

“Come we now to the Queen’s time … The gentry now residing in London more than they had done in former times introduced the pale ale and the pale small beer they were habituated to in the country and either engaged some of their friends or the London brewers to make for them these kinds of drinks.”

Assuming that Poundage was remembering correctly, this means that pale ale was actually being brewed in London, alongside the brown beer that was on its way to becoming porter, as far back as 1714 or earlier, and it was being brewed in the countryside, at the homes of the “gentry”, before then.

Certainly the making of pale malt appears to be widespread by the mid-18th century. The London brewer Michael Combrune An Essay on Brewing in 1758 gave a table that listed the different heats to get different colours of malt, from white, through cream, yellow, amber and “High Amber” to “Pale Brown”, “High Brown”, “Brown with Black Specks”, “Colour of Burnt Coffee”, and, finally, “Black”.  Londoners were now definitely brewing the paler article as well as the porter the city had become famous for: the London Chronicle in 1762 said that “Mr Miller, Pale-beer brewer in Shoe-lane” (off Fleet Street) had been elected a common-councilman for the ward of Farringdon without.

If we can believe the anonymous handbook Every Man his Own Brewer, written in 1766, outside the workers of London, in southern England drinkers preferred lighter-coloured brews:

“The beers brewed for domestic use are as various in their complexions and qualities as those for the market or as custom or fancy happens to dictate. In general the northern taste is Brown or Brown and Ambers mixt, the southern Amber, Amber and Pale mixt or Pale only …”

Certainly when Alexander Morrice published A Treatise on Brewing in 1802, he included several beers from southern England that had grain bills composed mostly or entirely of pale malt: Reading beer, for example, all pale malt; Amber beer, 40 per cent Herts amber malt and the rest a mixture of Herts pale and West Country pale; Table beer, 50 per cent Herts white malt, 25 per cent Herts pale and 25 per cent Herts amber (though Table beer also contained “Spanish juice”, or liquorice, which must have darkened it up); Hock, 70 per cent Herts pale and 30 per cent Herts amber; “Welch ale”, made by an elderly brewster in Caernarvon, about which Morrice said: “Their Malt was all Pale, but higher coloured than the Ware and equal to the best I ever saw”; and Windsor ale, all “best Herts pale malt”. Of Windsor ale, Morrice said:

“This Ale has experienced so great a Demand in London and its Vicinity for a few Years past as materially to affect the London Pale Beer Brewery [using "brewery" in its sense of "brewing industry"]. It is a Liquor better calculated for Winter than for the Heat of Summer. The London Brewers, however, were induced to brew upon the same Principle and in many Instances they excel the Original.”

Morrice’s use of the expression “the London Pale Beer Brewery” underlines an often ignored fact. The capital’s brewing industry in the 18th and early 19th century was divided into three classes: a mass of a hundred or more small brewers, who seem to have brewed all kinds of ale and beer; a dozen or so specialist porter brewers, all brewing on a scale somewhere between large and enormous, which included the names we are familiar with today, such as Barclay Perkins, Truman and Whitbread; and eight or so specialist ale brewers, generally smaller than the porter brewers at the beginning of the 19th century, but larger than their other, (mostly?) undifferentiated competitors. These ale brewers seem to have sold their product mostly “mild”, that is unaged, and (this is the killer point) their ale was made entirely, or almost entirely, from pale malt.

To quote just one source, Mackenzie’s Five Thousand Receipts: in All the Domestic Arts, published in 1830, when brewing London ale, “For immediate use the malt should be all pale, but if brewed for keeping or in warm weather one fourth should be amber malt.” Nor was London the only place making pale ale: it was also being brewed in Scotland. David Booth’s The Art of Brewing, first published in 1829, said: “The distinguishing characteristics of Scotch ale are paleness of colour and mildness of flavour.”

To summarise, then, far from India Pale Ale being the first pale ale, and Burton the first place to brew it

29.11.2009 Duminica la ora 20:00 pe Antena 1 derby-ul etapei Steaua – FC Vaslui

Clasamentul inaintea meciului :

Declaratii :

Gerlem: “Nu e evident că Steaua a greşit renunţînd la Lăcătuş?”

Mijlocaşul lui FC Vaslui William Gerlem consideră că Steaua a comis o eroare importantă în momentul în care a ales să se despată de actualul tehnician al moldovenilor, Marius Lăcătuş, şi dezvăluie că a fost ofertat de gruparea din Ghencea înainte de a semna cu galben-verzii. “Nu e evident că Steaua a greşit cu Lăcătuş? Cu un antrenor trebuie să ai răbdare, nu poţi să-i ceri să şi cîştige trofee peste noapte. Păi, în asemenea condiţii, nici Mourinho n-are face nimic în Ghencea, ar fi imposibil! Mă bucur din suflet că am semnat cu Vasluiul, din moment ce sînt pe primul loc în Liga I. Am discutat şi cu Gigi Becali în vară, însă domnul Porumboiu s-a mişcat mai repede şi m-a transferat”, a spus Gerlem în Gazetă.

Arbitri din Franţa la Steaua – FC Vaslui!

Formaţiile Steaua şi FC Vaslui au făcut o cerere către CCA pentru ca partida dintre cele două grupări, din etapa a 15-a a Ligii I, să fie arbitrată de străini, iar CCA a găsit deja o brigadă din Franţa, au declarat surse din cadrul Comisiei Centrale. “Pentru etapa a 15-a s-a făcut doar o cerere de arbitri străini, la Steaua cu FC Vaslui. În rest, nu a mai vrut nimeni sau poate că au vrut, doar că la CCA nu a venit nimic în acest sens. Pentru partida dintre Steaua şi Vaslui au fost făcute toate demersurile şi s-a găsit deja o brigadă din Franţa”, au declarat sursele citate. Meciul dintre Steaua şi FC Vaslui, derby-ul etapei a 15-a a Ligii I, se va disputa duminică, de la ora 20:00. Înaintea acestui joc, moldovenii sunt pe primul loc, cu 28 de puncte, în timp ce roş-albaştrii ocupă poziţia a 5-a, cu 3 puncte mai puţin, la egalitate cu FC Timişoara, CFR Cluj şi Unirea Urziceni.

I love sound. While I adore touch and relish sight, am delighted by taste and yea could go without smell sometimes, I require sound for my sanity.

Last night was rough. I did not do well at derby practice and nearly threw in the towel repeatedly over the course of the evening. I pushed through and have renewed the serious bruise on my backside while picking up some extras. My back hurts, my butt hurts, my legs hurt and unlike other nights when all this was true but worth it, I wasn’t feeling it. I skated like shit and I felt like shit, dejected, depressed and destroyed. And when I got home, I just wanted to cry. But I’m not sure if it is possible to cry when MM holds me – is there a pain that can cut through his arms?

Laying in bed in the dark I stared at the blank ceiling. No cracks to focus on. No play of lights to drive me to sleep as cars drove by. No moon to cast shadows. I would have stayed like that all night, listening to MM breathe. But one of our neighbours has windchimes.

A heavy fog had been sitting on the city all day and deepened into the evening. There had been no wind to speak of and a constant dewing on every exposed surface. I heard the moment when it broke, when the wind kicked up and blew it away in the soft ding-ding that rang over me. I don’t know what floor it came from, or how far away they were. With the epic acoustics that carry coversation from the street up 10 floors, it was like they played just outside my window.

For a moment my heart lept – oh right, I still have one of those – before I drifted off to the lullaby.

Could there be another brawl at the Emirates? The London derby is one of the most heated matches in Premier League.

From the Merseyside derby to the London derby, it is sure a Super Sunday for all the Football fans in the world. The London derby will be an interesting one as it could determine where the Premiership will go this season. Chelsea are leading the table and if they win at the Emirates then it would be a two legged horse race between the blues and Manchester United. Arsenal will have to dig deep to avoid this.

The North side of London will be contesting for the top spots in the Premier League. They are currently third in the league and eight points behind their London rival, Chelsea, at the top. Many have doubted Arsene Wenger’s kid this season but it seems like they are finding their stride. They reached the last 16 of the Champions League in the midweek after beating Standard Liege 2-0 at home. The French manager will be happy to put away another London rival at the Emirates after disposing Tottenham with 3-0. Wenger is concerned over the injuries of Kieran Gibbs, Andrey Arshavin and William Gallas. Gibbs is out after needing a metatarsal surgery while Gallas has an ankle injury.  Theo Walcott and Samir Nasir are set to play a role in the London derby.

Leading the Premiership with 5 points to the closest rival, qualify for the last 16 in the Champions League and playing at the top of their form, could Chelsea continue their winning streak without Frank Lampard? Chelsea have depth in the squad and that could bring the Premiership title back to Stamford Bridge since 2006. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has inherited a good bunch of players and now managing them looks simple. Ancoletti will be without Frank Lampard and Jose Bosingwa for the London derby. Michael Ballack and Deco are set to return to the starting lineup while Essien and Drogba are back after complains over receiving knocks in the midweek.

Massive brawl whenever these two teams meet and it will not be the last of it. Chelsea have the upper advantage going into this match, they beat Arsenal twice, 4-1 in the Premier League and 2-1 in the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger will be desperate to claim one over the Chelsea team as he wants to close the gap between them. A stalemate could be reached but without the inspirational Frank Lampard, anything can happen.

Co się dzieje z Wisłą Kraków?! W niedzielne popołudnie wszyscy, którzy wybrali polski hit kolejki – derby Krakowa (w Sosnowcu -sic!), zamiast Karola Strasburgera i jego familiady, znowu poczuli smak “ekstra” klasy. Zamiast obejrzeć 22 facetów grających w coś co za granicą nazywa się piłką nożną, zobaczyliśmy człapiących “byle-do-końca-rundy” Wiślaków, którzy poraz kolejny przegrali jeden z najważniejszych meczów sezonu. I to z Cracovią, zespołem który przed tym zwycięstwem zajmował, nie przynoszące chwały, 14 miejsce. Dla mnie, wychowanego na sukcesach Wisły w rozgrywkach europejskich, jest to ciężki szok. Kolejny szok, plasuje się mniej więcej między porażką z Levadią (na szczycie zestawienia) a Lechem. I za każdym razem siadam do meczu z myślą, że teraz podopieczni Skorży dadzą z siebie wszystko po czym oni…nie dają. To najprostszy komentarz do tego co widziałem. A przecież inne zespoły pokazały, że można. Od takie Zagłębie na przykład – prowadzone przez cudotwórce Smudę ( do Wisły go! ;])
przegrywając 3:1 z Koroną doprowadziło do wyrównania w samej końcówce – jak wszystkie drużyny Smudy walczyło do końca. I takie mecze naprawdę chce się oglądać…

Gerade gesehen, dass es in Derby 10.5 auch ein Limit-Äquivalent geben soll (mehr dazu hier).

Im Beispiel:

ij> SELECT NAME, SCORE FROM RESULTS ORDER BY SCORE DESC
> FETCH FIRST 3 ROWS ONLY;
NAME      |SCORE
----------------------
John      |33
Anne      |28
Sue       |21

Ein “richtiges” Limit wird es nicht geben, da es (noch?) nicht Teil des SQL-Standards ist.

Siehe auch SQL:2008.

  Finalizada la jornada 11 del campeonato nacional liguero el líder ha cambiado, el Real Madrid ocupa esta plaza, es sorprendente que con el juego que despliega se haya convertido en líder pero en este caso los jugadores definen como ningún otros, aquí si se notan los casi 300 millones gastados. El Barcelona aunque juega más fluido que el Real Madrid le falta pegada, sin duda ninguna estan pagando la falta de Etoo, aunque ellos no lo quieran reconocer.

El que sigue con muchísima seriedad y solidez es el Sevilla que esta ganando partidos fuera de casa que dan títulos, hay que seguirles de cerca porque su alternativa al titulo cada vez se hace más evidente. El Valencia parece salir de sus irregulares resultados, al final esta a menos de 1 punto del Sevilla, aunque no creo que su puesto esta más arriba del cuarto.

Preocupante es la situación del Atletico de Madrid, sigue perdiendo y las sensaciones cada vez son peores, esta claro que se agarrarán a Forlan y Kun Aguero para revertir la situación. Deportivo de la Coruña y Mallorca siguen imparables en casa lo que esta reportando puntos que le alzan a los puestos nobles de la liga.

La semana que viene el derby, bueno vamos a ver lo que sucede puesto que todavía están sangrando las heridas de su último confrontación, recordamos 2 – 6, esta va a ser una dura prueba para los de Peregrini y para él mismo, puede salir reforzado o decapitado, tendremos que esperar al Domingo.

Österreichs Fußballfans sahen ein nettes Derby am gestrigen Sonntag. Nett insofern, dass es zwar eine rote Karte gab, die gelben Pendants jedoch ebenso selten die Brusttasche von Fritz Stuchlik verließen. Nett, weil es ein relativ kampffreies Derby war. Und zu guter Letzt nett, dass Daxbacher so schön zusammenfassen kann: Rapid war schlecht, aber wir erst… Anpfiff

Schöne Choreos brauchen keine Feuerwerkskörper, aber unbestritten ist auch, dass es mit Bengalen doch cooler aussieht (siehe Anpfiff zu Halbzeit Zwei). Was danach passierte, war leider umso seltener schön: Laufend Fehlpässe auf beiden Seiten, wenig attraktive Torraumszenen, dahinplätschern und wenig Derby-Atmosphäre.
Karl Daxbacher setzte auf Routiniers, weshalb wohl Hattenberger statt Baumgartlinger auflief. In der Defensive verzichtete er auf Dragovic, das Ergebnis war katastrophal. Das 4-5-1 mit dem defensiven sowie  zentralen Hattenberger war wenig eingespielt, viele Fehlpässe im Spielaufbau waren das logische Resultat. Demgegenüber waren zwar auch nicht unbedingt Traumpässe am laufenden Band, immerhin erzielte Rapid Dank der Effizienz im Abschluss mehr Tore

1:0

Freistoß aus dem linken Halbfeld: Steffen Hofmann sieht, dass Szabolcs Safar zu weit vor dem Tor steht, weil er mit einer Flanke rechnet. Mit viel Gefühl und ein bisschen Glück findet der Ball den Weg ins Netz. Das wirft die Frage auf: Warum spielte der lange verletzte Safar bei diesem bedeutenden Spiel? Klar, er ist der Stammtorhüter und wieder genesen, aber ihm fehlten die nötigen Einsatzminuten in den letzten Runden, weshalb hier der Einsatz von Almer vielleicht doch die bessere Alternative gewesen wäre. Und zum Schlagwort “Kommunikation im Fußball”: Hat ihm niemand gesagt, dass Hofmann seine Freistöße gerne Richtung Tor zirkelt?

2:0

Die Wiener Austria befindet sich im Strafraum der Gastgeber. Acimovic erhält an der  Strafraumgrenze den Ball, zeigt sich überfordert und gaberlt technisch reichlich unraffiniert. Rapid kommt in Ballbesitz, Acimovic bleibt seelenruhig stehen. Die Grün-Weißen kontern über rechts, das Fehlen von Acimovic zwingt Suttner zum Angreifen, ein Loch auf der linken Seite entsteht. Hattenberger füllt die Lücke in der Mitte, Rapid verlagert auf links, wo Standfest auf Grund mangelnder Schnelligkeit und wegen des Zweikampf-Suchens im Mittelfeld (eigentlich Hattenbergers Aufgabe – der auch richtig agierte) fehlt. In der Mitte schlafen Bak und Ortlechner: Bak bleibt am Sechzehner stehen, Ortlechner sieht sich zwei Gegnern ausgesetzt, wobei beide die Möglichkeit haben, den Ball vor ihm zu erwischen. Jelavic netzt ein. Versagenskette: Acimovic, Standfest, Bak, Ortlechner. Wer richtig reagierte: Hattenberger.

3:0

Der Austria passieren viele Fehler in der Vorwärtsbewegung, Rapid kommt dadurch oft zu guten Möglichkeiten. Am schlimmsten war wohl der absolute Schlafer von Liendl, der seelenruhig spazierte und nicht registrierte, dass der Ball auf ihn gespielt wird.
Das 3:0 von Rapid war dann die Spitze einer Verkettung technischer Selbstzerstörer: Ball aus der Innenverteidigung in die Spitze, mehr unmotiviert als gezielt, Bak außer Stande den Ball zu stoppen, von Jelavic bedrängt, Notbremse und rot. Hofmann nützt die dankbare Freistoß-Distanz. Ein perfektes Beispiel, wie Pressing nicht zu funktionieren hat. Wenn die Stürmer angreifen und Zweikämpfe suchen, dann muss – MUSS – das gesamte taktische Konzept darauf angepasst werden. Jeder hat einen Gegenspieler, einer attackiert den Ballführenden, ein zweiter sucht das Doppeln auf einer Linie, dass ein Pass zum nächsten Spieler – in diesem Fall oftmals der horizontale Pass – abgedeckt wird. Ein Maß zwischen Raum- und Manndeckung. Beim FAK: Zwei attackieren, der Rest steht.

3:1

Das auch Rapid einen eher schwachen Tag erwischte, bewiesen die Hütteldorfer beim Gegentreffer: Abseits bei Freistößen ist im modernen Fußball ja keine Seltenheit mehr, dann muss die gesamte Abwehr allerdings schnell nach vorne rücken – eventuell auch Markus Katzer. Zudem lässt sich in der Vorwärtsbewegung leichter klären, weshalb viele Mannschaften die Abwehr doch näher beim Tor postieren. Beides wurde missachtet, ebenso die Existenz Hattenbergers.

4:1

Standfest zu langsam. Kavlak schneller. Standfest fällt über die eigenen Füße, Kavlak sieht, dass die Innenverteidiger den Raum nicht abdecken und spielt in den Rücken der Abwehr. Salihi nützt diese Gelegenheit, ohne sich groß anstrengen zu müssen.

Dabei tauchen folgende Fragen auf

Außenverteidiger sind schnell, technisch versiert und im besten Fall  intelligente Kreativspieler. Joachim Standfest ist langsam (vor allem im direkten Vergleich mit Veli Kavlak), technisch unversiert (zahlreiche Fehler beim Ball stoppen, zahlreiche Fehlpässe, schlechte Flanken – mit zugegeben einer Ausnahme) und von Kreativspieler mindestens so weit entfernt, wie Wigan von einem Sieg gegen Tottenham (1:9, Anm. d. Autors).
4-5-1 zeichnet sich durch ein starkes Mittelfeld aus, das den Ball lange halten kann, Druck erzeugt und den schnellen, präzisen Pass sucht. Nun sprach der Ballbesitz zwar für die Austria, den Pass in den Strafraum erwartete der Zuschauer vergeblich. Warum? Weil in Halbzeit eins Schumacher farblos blieb, sein Nachfolger Diabang auch nicht glänzte. Das wirft folgende Fragen auf: Wann kommen endlich Jun und Okotie zurück?!? Und: Wann kommen sie denn endlich zurück?!?

I’ll have internet at the new place tonight. I will unfortunately have no time to enjoy it, as I will be at derby. This weekend was fabulous.

Bail! Bail! Beautifully, gloriously and delightfully earned bruises at derby. Rocking the crossovers, finally feeling confidence in my feet and my wheels – BAM! on my ass. First real bail and I love it.

Friday night mission – bus to station, subway to point B. Taxi? Why are there no taxis? Run run with skates over my shoulder, waving for attention. Arrived at point C after serious confusion and realisation that no, I have no map in my head for this part of town. I have not walked it yet. Nor will I ever.

The coverage of the night gets a bit spotty at this point. I think that mice got into the footage, ate some of the reels. How much gin is in this? Free sweet potato fries! Assholes at table 2. Everybody was kung-fu fighting, except not really, but really. The pants are blue. Philosphy discussion with cabbie home. Dead Kennedy’s were right.

And the morning came.

No matter how late I go to bed, it seems like I can’t possible sleep past 8am. Sure, I’ll read for a bit, roll around and fuss with the pillows like it’s feasible to fall back asleep, but the pillow is a lie and I should just get my bitch ass up. And whenever I get up, I just have to keep moving. Breakfast, dressed, push-ups, brush teeth, wash face, drinks, kick man up, he don’t wanna get up. Add to this it’s MOVING DAY. Pack, pack, pack. And up the stairs. And down the stairs. Carry on soldier.

We managed most of it, took a nap, finished a little bit more and then on to the championship bout to volunteer.

This spot marks Weekend: Part 2.

Volunteering for the derby bout involved a lot of tape and menacing glares. The track was a bit wobbly from all the practices that had been going on before the championship, so the refs had us out re-taping to make sure it was secure with the warm-ups going on all around us. Those girls can move.

Then onto back door duty (giggle). We were badass. The most badass of the badass. Can I see your stamp? Got a pass? How about a ticket? No? Piss off. (read: go around front and buy a ticket, you ponce.) MM was a champ at spotting the beer before it went out the back, I kept thinking they were sody pops. The (real) security guard was awesome and hilarious, regaling us with tales of his wife and compared to that guy, we are moving at snail speed.

Didn’t get to see much of the bout itself, but what we did see was great! Those women can hustle and they were all fighting for it. Gore Gore Girls came out on top and we booked it back home for some well earned rest.

More happened. Much of it will not be related here as its best relived over and over in my head. MM moved the rest of his stuff in, thus completing The Move Phase 2 of 3. Brother’s stuff will be the final and most arduous Phase.

Need to sound-proof the bedroom door. Get keys cut.

It was with real trepidation that I went down to the Liberty Stadium on Friday night. We were on a great run, had run the lowly neighbours ragged a couple of weeks previously and were playing a team who were struggling – all of which tugged away at my pessimistic instincts. Yes, we’re playing some lovely stuff, look rock solid at the back and have even started scoring more freely. But surely, an ex-Premiership outfit like Derby, with budgets to dwarf ours, will make it a tough task to maintain our unbeaten record.

Not a bit of it.

I’m struggling to remember the last time we dominated so comprehensively. 4-1 against Preston last season springs to mind, but perhaps that’s just the scoreline misleading me. I can’t decide whether we were brilliant or Derby were absolutely terrible. Both, probably.

Martinez spoke a lot last season about the ‘pass-count’, but I would be surprised if Sousa’s Swansea hadn’t surpassed Martinez’s record on that front on Friday. The game followed a similar pattern throughout. Knock the ball towards one wing, look for an opening, knock it back to one of our back three (Tate, Williams and a deep-lying Britton) and sweep it towards the other wing to see if we can get some joy. The ultra-defensive Derby had parked the bus from the start, which didn’t make it easy, but there was always someone making themselves available and we seemed to be in possession for most of the game.

Despite the 1-0 scoreline, we actually created a lot of chances and, but for Bywater, we’d have improved our goals scored column by some distance. Everybody in this team knows their job and is performing it very well. Particularly impressive, for the third game running, was Bessone. He’s actually out-performing Rangel at the moment, which is something I never expected to see.

Have to mention the attendance. It was good to see a full-to-brim Liberty, lets hope that continues. Derby’s support was as shit as their team.

Onwards and upwards now. A real test to see how far we’ve come away at Newcastle next Saturday.

Walter.

Breaking news uit Katwijk!!

Eigenlijk wilde ik in deze post ingaan op de Eindhovense derby WVVZ – ESV, maar dat is van later zorg. Omdat ik zo juist iets las wat elke liefhebber van amateurderby’s zal interesseren.

Aanstaande zondag staat de derby van katwijk, Quick Boys tegen Katwijk, weer op het programma. Omdat het de laatste jaren regelmatig op ongeregeldheden uit is gelopen bij deze wedstrijd wil de gemeente daar nu verandering in aanbrengen.

Daarom is er afgelopen donderdag een manifest ondertekend door de aanvoerders van de elftallen, de supportersverenigingen, de voorzitters van beide clubs, de politie en natuurlijk de gemeente. Het manifest roept alle bezoekers op om er voor te zorgen dat de derby weer leuk, gezellig en spectaculair op de goede manier wordt.

Ondertussen houdt burgemeester Jos Wienen van Katwijk ook nog een scenario achter de hand voor het geval het toch mis dreigt te gaan. “Het is een mogelijkheid dat we groepen mensen die naar de wedstrijd willen gaan buiten sluiten, dat je zegt; die mogen de gemeente niet eens in. Daar kan ik een noodverordening voor maken. Zo ver het mogelijk is sluit je dan het dorp af voor mensen die uit kunnen zijn op rellen. Maar de inzet is wel om er gezamenlijk voor te zorgen dat die mensen denken; in Katwijk hebben we niks te zoeken”, verklaart Wienen. Opvallend is dat veel relschoppers uit andere plaatsen komen. “Die komen hier absoluut niet voor het voetbal, soms gaan ze er zelfs niet eens naar toe. Maar zij zorgen wel voor  veel overlast.”

Houdt 28 november dus internet, radio en tv in de gaten om te weten hoe de derby Quick Boys- Katwijk dit jaar gaat verlopen. Een wedstrijdverslag en misschien wel meer is in ieder geval te verwachten op deze weblog!

An insurance company has launched a competition to find a new name for pensions after research showed one in five people found the term off-putting.

Axa said just 4% of people liked the word pension, while 18% associated it with grey and one in 10 said they thought the term was too old fashioned.

Young people were most likely to be put off by the word pension, with 72% saying they associated it with old age.

Elaine Higgleton, editorial director at Collins English Dictionaries, said: “The word pension is part of the fabric of British life, but clearly some younger people are finding it off-putting.

“I’m not sure why – perhaps they associate it with a period of life that is just too far off for them to think about. Perhaps it’s the association with pensioner, meaning an elderly person.

“Whatever the reason, the word pension does not seem to be encouraging people to save for the future, and a new name might give pensions a new image.”

Axa has teamed up with Collins English Dictionaries to find a new word or phrase for pensions.

People can submit suggestions at www.axa.co.uk/mybudgetday between Monday November 23 and Thursday November 26, after which a shortlist of five potential names will be selected.

The public can vote on the shortlist and the winning name will be announced on Sunday December 6.

The creator of the new name for pensions will win £4,953, the equivalent of a year’s state pension for a single person.

Whatever your view on the matter serious considerations need to be made how to fund your retirement.
