Ann's Bio

I always considered myself as someone who’s NOT a sport fan. I mean, I do sports like running and swimming but mostly for fitting into size 2, rather than become next Michael P.(in terms of swimming not smoking;).

But then I discovered that besides me, none of my friends gets up at 4 a.m to watch a race. And that they don’t even know what white stripes on tyres mean. And the only football players they know are those from Pepsi commercials.

I thought that everybody has his favorite athletes, follows his favorite teams and sometimes pays lot money to see them live. Thank God I found B/R, because otherwise I’d start to talk to strangers on a bus about my impressions from Champions League.

Milan are a bunch of cheating faggots! Did you see their own player breaking Pato and Pepe getting the card! And Ambrosini fouling Kaka again and again! And then that fuckin cunt Ronaldinho jumping over Lass and getting the free kick! The penalty that wasn't! We deserved to win both the games yet we got 1 draw and 1 loss!

I am rooting for Rubin tonight!

Mc Laren? That' sad! :(

Nico Hulkenberg right? They are also saying that Rosberg will go to Brawn!

I don't like Lewis at all, it would be good to see Kimi in the same car as him and then dominate all! Ahahahahahaha! Heiki isn't that good a driver to be driving a Mc Laren! I will not support Ferrari or Alonso! They had the best and then they let him go!

Ann where is the best driver in Formula 1 going to end up at? (Yes, Kimi Raikkonen)!

Nico Rosberg, Kubica and Heidfeld are all without a seat aren't they?

I would love to see Kubica and Raikkonen paired up, or Rosberg and Raikkonen.

Barichello and Hulkenberg are at Williams, right?

I have no idea where to get the F1 news, please keep me updated.

Yes I forgot to write about Sergio Ramos, I love it that he's returning to form.

Sergio is good in the air, Albiol isn't that much, Albiol gets dominated by our strong kids (Negredo and Soldado) easily, Sergio doesn't take their shit! I say we throw Sergio in the center and shove Albiol as Right back, he does play as RB for La Roja sometimes!

Real will appeal against Albiol's red (I read Albiol's interview, he was pissed), so he'll be back against Atletico.

Pipita is AWESOME! Raul's time is over, I saw the match for 15-20 mins and Benz and Pipita were doing good together.

And Osasuna drew with the mighty unbeatable and undrawable Barca! Ha!

And it's good that he got wingers in there!

Miss Soldado, not really. I miss Parejo though!

Valdano might be a good choice.

I don't want Pelle to be sacked so early but if he continues to repeat the mistakes then he needs to go.

Also we are looking at Rafa Benitez as well. Finally a Madrid kid or well maybe man will coach the team.

Don't get your hopes up.

Wenger is planning to play with the youth kids, either it's gonna be a good or a bad surprise.

Who you rooting for anyways ?

WOW!!

The fans of the other team invaded the pitch and rubbed it hard in the face of the Madrid players.

I actually felt sorry for Benzima.

Yeah, I'm really pissed from Benzima's useless joke of a footballer performance.
