20th April Olay Maureen E'oh's super league failure

Having failed to win the Premiership, Champions League, FA Cup, the Bet Fred Carling Hikarumba Cup and even Manager of the Year during his 17 month spell in charge of Tottenham Hotspur, Olay Maureen E'oh is said to be bitterly disappinted this morning not to be given the opportunity to lead Spurs to not winnning the newly proposed European Super League.

Speaking to Grace under pressure's very own keepy uppy king, Olay Maureen E'oh lamented that it just wasn't fair that he hadn't been allowed to play with the big boys and now had to content himself with counting his reported £2 million pound pay off until getting back on the manergerial merry-go-round in roughly six months time.

Sacked by Chelsea twice, by Real Madrid and also by Manchester United, financial experts estimate that Olay Maureen E'oh has probably earned more money from his failures than he ever did actually winning stuff, which is not a bad way to earn a living. Do something, be judged to have done badly at it, get a huge pay off for being sacked, enjoy a nice holiday in the sun for 6 months and then get back in the saddle once again.

The proposed move to a seperate super league is not a new one, with the UK having formed its own breakaway just last year, one which it is already assured of winning. Unlike most other football leagues there is however no European prize at the end of the season. That was the whole purpose of it. Thankfully for fans of the beautiful game, two players whose game could be described as many things, but beautiful wouldn't one of them, Neville Gary and very Keen Roy, the newest superheroes from the Marvel Universe, have joined forces to take down the evil empire behind this dasterdly plan.

This has resulted in millions of football fans across the country waking up this morning to find themselves possibly suffering the delayed effects of a head injury after discovering that they actually agreed with most of what Neville Gary ranted on about yesterday in what is being described by many as a 'Piers Morgan' style on air meltdown. 

Neville Gary and Keen Roy are of course mouth pieces on Sky Sports which has in no way shape or form done anything in the past to remove live football from terrestrial TV and the masses or been greedy about how its gone about it.

At the time of going to press Grace Under Pressure is unable to confirm whether the sudden appearance on eBay of six souls available to the highest bidder from sellers in Manchester, Liverpool and north London is anything to do with this fundemantal fracturing of football but we suspect it is.

6th May Olbia

  A chance to stretch our legs today with our first port of call; Olbia, Sardinia. And it was a quick stretch too due to it being only a five hour stay. Up bright and early, so early in fact that the hot food at the buffet wasn't even ready to be served. Still it gave us a chance to watch the ship glide into port past a host of oyster/mussel beds, before performing a 180 degree turn to reverse into it's berth. A couple of short bus rides later and we were in downtown Olbia. But there an hour or so before anything appeared to open, the disadvantage of being early birds and something we don't seem to learn! Not that Olbia had a great deal to see or maybe if we had done the slightest bit of planning beforehand there might have benn but we didn't. It was pleasant enough but that's about it. It was pleasant enough but nothing special, indeed we were back on the ship after just a couple of hours ashore and then managed to sleep away most of th...

7th May Naples

Image
 I'm sure I've heard the phrase 'see Naples and die' suggesting that it is perhaps not the nicest location in the Mediterranean but if it's good enough for Diego Maradona fir a few years then it's good enough for me for 10 hours. Although the millions of tax free pounds he was paid might have eased his stay. By the time we got up, washed, dressed and up to The Kitchens, the rest of the ship were already there. Compared to the Marie Celeste of yesterday it was absolutely packed, presumably with people having breakfast before heading out on 8am excursions, our excursion was simply going to be the city of Naples itself as possible trips to Vesuvius, Pompei or the Amalfi coast would have been too much / tired.  So on a day when the weather initially seemed uncertain, we jumped aboard route A for the Hop on Hop off bus and headed out into the mayhem that is the Napoli traffic where it was every van, car and scooter for the selves. I think it's bes...
