Top Ten Reasons to love Mary Poppins 6:53pm on 15 Dec 2008 Don't Worry Mark. Mary Poppins is also one of my favourite films. But I also own 30+ Takashi Miike films, so there you go. I don't think there are enough critics (not on tv anyway!) around that have a good grasp or cult and mainstream cinema
The prestige of the Club World Cup 6:46pm on 15 Dec 2008 Hello Tim, Thoroughly interesting Blog as always.

I've been wary about posting on these boards because these debates almost seem to always turn into either nationalism or league bashing. Every youtube video of highlights between two teams from one of the top leagues is nearly always full of this sort of thing. Strange how football brings this attitude out of people. Why is it cool to watch film's from other countries, but not football?

On topic however, Personally I think this is a great competition, and the whole travelling to Japan and becoming tired is blown out of proportion. It seems strange that people seem to be more skeptical about the Club World Cup than say the League Cup. I mean it's only a couple of games after all. And I think too many pundits put words in players and managers mouths. Like you say Tim, I think Ferguson will take this seriously, just like Ancelotti (and Maldini, the only tournament he hadn't won!) did last year.

"Many fans around the world are unaware of the strength of the domestic Mexican game". I used to always think that the Mexican National Team have overachieved in the World Cup, but maybe it's the other way around. With a population of 106 million and lots of money, do you think that the league will become stronger and stronger or do you think it will always suffer simply because it part of the Concacaf region?

Also, on the subject of Kerlon (or Foquinha), I believe he is fit, as he came on as a substitute a little while ago against Lazio. But Chievo are struggling and it's probably not an easy situation for him to come into. Also, it is rumoured that Internazionale had a hand in signing Kerlon and they might have first option. But he'll be much better off on loan to perhaps a more attacking league like Portugal or maybe back to Brazil.

There is also a player I'd like to ask about. Felipe Melo of Fiorentina. Everytime I've seen him he looks class. To me he would seem a better alternative to Gilberto Silva as not only can he sit but he's also got a range of skills and passing. Maybe he has a chance as Dunga used to play for Fiorentina but or is he just one of those players that is off the radar in Brazil (like Alfonso Alves and Amauri)?

Cheers, Keep up the good work. (and great 4 hour phone in the other night!)
