Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: the special ones
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010/06/special-ones.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Friday, June 18, 2010. Papa Capz will be the subject of much derision (and quite a few jokes a la my favourite man in blue, Nicolas Anelka), and in light What Just Happened, this is probably warranted. Capello's past record needs no defending, but England's awful start at the World Cup raises the question of whether he is in fact the colossus of the coaching world that he is otherwise supposed to be. Was the promised uber-Lippi real...

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: July 2010
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Saturday, July 3, 2010. When i get older. At the Run of Play did a very good job. Crushing the idea floated in The Atlantic. That countries with an authoritarian history play more winning football. The idea memed. Nonetheless. (Shocked that highbrow soccer dorks - my favourite phrase this World Cup, used by TNR Goalpost. To describe their ideal reader base) appear not. Where they mad-lib book titles with 'sex' and 'prick'? Ignoring ...

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: May 2010
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Clothes, lack thereof. How have I not heard a single word of praise for Venus Williams' French Open outfit. Where are all the people with taste? A sense of humour? This dress is smart. It's kitschy and ironic. It's fun. It's bold and sexy - do we have a problem with bold and sexy, Internet? As far as I can tell, the problem is that photographers have gone overboard to find pictures of the dress flying up to r...

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: freedom's just another word

Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Saturday, June 12, 2010. Freedom's just another word. I took a moment to curse Eduardo Galeano. Isn't that how human beings do learn to dance, anyway? Labels: world cup 2010. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Here, I write about books and some other stuff I come across in my work as a journalist. I write about footie and occasionally other sports on Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils.

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: nothing you can sing that can't be sung - II
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010/06/nothing-you-can-sing-that-cant-be-sung.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Friday, June 11, 2010. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung - II. The best guide to national anthems at the World Cup anyone can read is Ian King's series, The World Cup of National Anthems. At Two Hundred Percent. It's two years since the last Eurocentric international tournament. It continues to be pointless for me to sing Fratelli d'Italia. Since I'm not an Italian and nobody's fratello. But I love this song so surprisingly mu...

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: north korea among the nightingales
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010/06/north-korea-among-nightingales.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Saturday, June 5, 2010. North korea among the nightingales. The total stupidity of confusing football with justice. I'm trying to explain why I am bemused that Paul B Stares at the Los Angeles Times. Appears to think that the whole world can be stadium-ganged into 'shaming and further isolating' North Korea for its sinking of a South Korean warship late last month. Because that's not presumptuous at all! It will be totally effective.

Treasons, Stratagems & Spoils: October 2010
http://angrynun.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Treasons, Stratagems and Spoils. The bread so short, the circus so long. Sunday, October 31, 2010. Sorry to give no prior indication! 2 At my newspaper this week, we published a Diwali-special issue about giving, with a focus on organisations who work with the urban poor. One of our stories highlighted the work of people who use football as a developmental tool to work with underprivileged children in Kolkata, Delhi and Mumbai. You can read that story here. And read the whole giving issue here. In a coun...
