May 9: a memorial
May 9, 2001.
For the international audience it may be just another date. In Ghana, that date brings black memories for football fans

The story is simple. As it is sad.
127 fans went for a league match.
There was a stampede.
They died.
That’s it.

Pippo Scores, Tiziano Crudeli Weeps
This is, incredibly, not too far off the norm for Tiziano Crudeli, journalist, commentator and Milan fan extraodinaire. He's a touch passionate about the Rossoneri and as one would expect, more than a touch passionate for icon Pippo Inzaghi's last game for the club on the weekend. Standard fare... And then ...

Felipe Melo Finds His Fire Hydrant
For no apparent reason, the canine urination celebration is taking hold of Europe. Or it's happened twice off the top of my head, which is far too many and certainly deserving of pandemic status. The first was Zenit's Danny, merely celebrating a goal. Now Felipe Melo was so excited by ...
Joey Barton Being Joey Barton

The Stop-Motion England Introduction
This is both wonderful and a wonderful departure from the standard footballing related videos you'll find on the YouTube.
