Loyal Luton Supporters Club

Anybody who fancies a laugh at the inbred cuntscabs from up the road could do a lot worse than checking out Loyal Luton.com which contains a few gems such as Mark Ledsoms ‘Luton Lords Prayer’, and a David Preece Memorial Page where YOU can post your own TRIBUTE!!!

The Luton Lord’s Prayer by Mark Ledsom

Eric Morecambe

Who art in heaven

Hallowed be thy name

Let the goals come

They can have one

So long as our boys get seven

Give us this day a win

And forgive us our indebtedness

As we forgive those who have netted against us (except Watford)

Lead us out of administration

And deliver us from Guilfoyle

For we loved the Eighties

The power and the glory

For ever and ever

LUTON!

What a bunch of mongs.

Doncaster Rovers Mongwatch

Hard to believe they went down to the Conference not so long ago and almost went out of business when their chairman tried to do an insurance job by burning down the stadium. You’ve got to give the club credit for climbing all the way up to The Championship, but it seems their fans haven’t evolved much…

Rinat Akhmetov: Watfords next Chairman?

This is the multi-billionaire Ukrainian who wants to buy Watford FC.

From Wikipedia…

Business Career

Rinat Akhmetov was born in Donetsk, of Tatar parents. He became the head of Donetsk City Bank and a specialist in the banking sector. In 1996 he became the President of the football team, FC Shakhtar and has held this post since then. Since March 2004 Rinat Akhmetov has been President of System Capital Management Group(SCM), which he also founded.

Akhmetov founded SCM in 2000, and is has grown to be one of Ukraine’s leading financial and industrial firms with revenues of $6.719 billion dollars in 2006.

Social Activism

In 2007, Akhmetov founded an organization called The Foundation for Effective Governance to Support Economic Development of Ukraine. On December 6, 2007, FEG was launched in Kiev with a goal to improve the standard of living of each Ukrainian citizen. Among the figures who addressed the opening of the Foundation were Nobel Laureate Shimon Peres and Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto. Akhmetov’s stated aim is to develop and implement long-term projects and programs which encourage economic growth in Ukraine. The Foundation will also initiate public discussion of the important issues concerning Ukraine’s economic growth. To achieve these goals, the Foundation will attract leading Ukrainian and international experts with proven experience, strong expertise, and excellent reputations. The Foundation’s budget, provided by Akhmetov, will amount to $50M over five years.

Philanthropy

Akhmetov is involved with charities and philanthropies that are often humanitarian, and often to support causes that assist Ukrainian citizens. He founded a think tank called the Foundation for Effective Governance, which has as its goal to create a better government structure for the Ukraine. Among its board members are former U.S. Senator Lincoln Chafee, former Canadian Prime Minister, Kim Campbell and former president of the National Bank of Hungary György Surányi. Another charity he founded, the Foundation for the Development of Ukraine, is stated to be “determined to eliminate the roots of social problems…” in the Ukraine. For example, the foundation donated nearly $900,000.00 to families of victims of gas explosion that tore through an apartment complex in Dnipropetrovsk. It has been reported that The Foundation is planning to spend $150 million to fulfill its programs, and that Akhmetov will be the Foundation’s president.

Could be an interesting summer!

Men like this buy football clubs and play a real life game of Championship Manager. Rather than buy a ready made big club, Rinat wants to buy a club he can build something with.

He’s already given Charlton the once over, so we should keep our fingers crossed that Simpson convinces him that WFC would be a good choice. It’s not every day that a multi-billionaire comes knocking on Watfords door.

Cunt of the Week: Collins John.

He can count himself unlucky to get in ahead of Tamas Priskin.

Watford 0 Scunthorpe 1

There’s not a lot to say really.

90 minutes and not a single shot on target says it all.

No disrespect to Scunthorpe, but you don’t get relegated unless you are shit. So what does that make us? We look like a side in real trouble. Clearly, the belief has gone from the majority of the players. They’ve got no confidence in what is being asked of them and unless there’s a massive turnaround, I really fear we’ll be fighting relegation next season.
