GO TO HELL CHAPPEL

This man should be fired. The Indian cricket team's Australian coach Greg Chappell gave the finger to cricket fans in my home town, Calcutta (Kolkata). This after the team lost an international one-day match! How arrogant can a man get? He should have been ashamed of his team's performance; instead, he insulted the fans!
Granted there's no love lost between him and Calcutta, where many fans have been upset since he dropped local idol Sourav Ganguly from the team. The police advised the Aussie to stay in his hotel room for his own safety. Instead, he showed the finger!
A newspaper showed a finger thrust out of a window of the team bus, saying it was Chappell's.
But he claimed he was just nursing an injured finger, not sticking it out at anyone. Ha! Why stick an injured finger out of the window? Did it need some fresh air?
The incident was thoroughly in keeping with the character of the man. Chappell was a great cricketer in his day, but he and his brother, Ian, were also known for their mean tactics and aggressive behaviour.
He has a contract to coach the Indian team till 2007. But he should be sacked immediately. Indian cricket officials can surely afford to pay him off since they earn so much money from television and match ticket sales; cricket is the most popular sport in India.
India have not done well under Chappell's coaching. They lost shamefully against South Africa in Calcutta on Friday. The final score -- India 188 all out vs South Africa 189 for no loss -- said it all: India were completely outplayed.
But the Aussie's not the only one who should be sent off.
The great Sachin Tendulkar should also be dropped temporarily as a warning that he cannot take his place for granted. He scored only two runs in what was his 357th match, a world record. No one has played more than him and all he scores is two!
Of course, he can do better than that. If he does not get a big score in the next match, he will do so in the one after that. After all, he is one of the world's greatest cricketers. But he has been keeping indifferent health and unpredictable form. It's time he is dropped occasionally to try out other players. As it is, he plays only when he feels up to it, when his health permits. Why not let the Indian selectors decide when to play him rather than leaving the decision to him?
My son, like legions of Sachin fans, will insist Sachin is indispensable.
But the Aussie's time has come.
PS: India's current captain, Rahul Dravid, also proved a dead loss as a leader and a batsman, scoring only six. Maybe it's time to bring back Ganguly? Surely, if Sachin can stay on despite such unpredictable form, why not bring back the Calcutta boy who was the most successful Indian captain ever?

DESPARADO REDS

With Manchester United slipping down the champions league table the premiership table struggling in the league cup the FA cup and Roy Keane departing .........everything is in a mess. The ORIGINAL RED DEVIL ROY KEANE was shown the door after what can be best described as the golden age of MANCHESTER UNITED when we won 8 premierships, 3 FA cups and the ultimate prize the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE.

Never will I forget the contributions of Roy Keane on the magical night in Turin in the semi finals of the Champions League.Reds today lack the zing. Rooney Ruud Ronaldo do it for us

Manchester United will again be the best freaking team in the the world and the 3 R's hold the key

Till then keep going the REDS as you are the proud occupants of the RED CORNER and bash up CHELSEA like you did last week.voila screw them like never before till RED corner win against BLUE corner.

7 ways to catch a lion

1. Newton's Method: Let, the lion catch you. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction. Implies you caught lion .

2. Einstein Method: Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion. Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also run faster and will get tired soon. Now you can trap it easily.

3. Schrodinger Method: At any given moment, there is a positive probability that lion to be in the cage. So set the trap, sit down and wait!

4. Inverse Transformation Method We place a spherical cage in the forest and enter it. Perform an inverse transformation with respect to lion. Lion is in and we are out.

5. Thermodynamic Procedure: We construct a semi-permeable membrane which allows every thing to pass it except lions. Then sweep the entire forest with it.

6. Integration Differention Method: Integrate the forest over the entire area. The lion is some where in the result. So differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t lion to trace out the lion.

7. The Banta's Method: DON'T EVEN TRY. YOU'LL GET CAUGHT BY THE LION.
