Cocks with Balls

Which cock is Joey Barton?

My dog loves to play football, and he has some pretty good skills, but he always ends up eating the ball; I go through them like you wouldn’t believe.

He doesn’t discriminate either, chewing Nike size 5′s with a much enjoyment as an Umbro size 3.  Last week he went to town on the Jabulani — it’s costing me a fortune! Maybe I need a new pet to play footy with? How about a cock or two?

Chickens don’t play football, you say?  They do in China.

Zhang Lijun lives in northern China, and her chickens love football so much that she has arranged tournaments for them to play in.

Do they play nice or are there lots of fowls? (Ooof-sorry)

Well, no more than a derby between Portsmouth and Southampton it seems, but occasionally the odd rooster gets a little hot under the collar and fights beak break out. Sounds like an afternoon at the New Den to me.  I wonder if Joey Barton could relate? He’s certainly ‘a cock’.

PETA oppose the chicken football on the grounds that cocks confined in a small area will fight, but they also do say that chickens are smarter than cats and dogs! That makes them smarter than the average footballer also I should imagine.

So I’m sold–I’ll be back to check the comments later, but right now, I’m off to the pet store.

  1. Chickens are so good at football we made it our club crest.

    Spurs sure are cocks

    Tottenham Cockspurs? Tottenham Hotcocks? Cockenham Hotspurs?

    Ahh, what a noble creature, proud, daring. To dare is to do, they say.

    I see no spurs on those cocks, were these photos altered? Also, no gigantic distorted red block on their chests advertising a gambling site. Does China have a no gambling sponsors law similar to France’s?

    Since this is the closest thing we’re probably going to get to a Spurs thread today, I’ll post this here.

    @Tno I have no idea who Jermaine Jenas is and I found that video to be hilarious! That was fantastic.

    Tommy Thudd speaks, and it sounds like, contra certain other EPLers, he’s not an idiot.


  9. Except for the part where he attributes Peter Crouch being rather tall as the key to our success.


  10. Anonsters

    @LE: You would rather him think Jermain Defoe being rather tall is key to our success?


  11. @pup: Jermain Defoe’s actually only 5’7. I’m surprised you didn’t know that.


  12. Anonsters

    @LE: I’m hope you were, as I was, being ironical. :P


  13. Yes of course. And, “I’m hope” ? AHEM.


  14. Anonsters

    YES, I’M HOPE.
