An Auspicious Day & Mesut As Dragon!

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

It's The Year Of The Dragon & The Community's First Public Day!

Welcome to all new members!

Love slick assists, sheer-playing intelligence, sweet-natured hard-work and a wicked left foot in your football players? You've come to the right place!

And if you didn't know that Mesut's hair smells like strawberry scented shampoo (it does!) or that his favourite movie is "Hangover"
(there's no accounting for tastes!) or that he has a pitbull called Rocky - then plainly this community is lacking in your life!




Today is the community's first public day. I believe we have chosen an auspicious day for two reasons.

The first is that it is the Chinese New Year! The highly auspicious Year of the Dragon is upon us.





The second is that by a happy coincidence Mesut - born in October of 1988 - is also a Dragon!

Welcome to all the new members! Happy Chinese New Year! Happy posting/reading/commenting!

I'm here! Hello to all and thanks to baby Jenny for notification! Hopefully this community will have long future with many party posts celebrating every new title of our favorite player.

Btw Mesut was amazing yesterday. Lol.com of course think he was quiet. (I don't think the referee would agree). What did Ray Hudson say if he commented the game? :)

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Ray Hudson did not comment - alas!

You found us! This makes me happy!

lol at Lol.com - a large number of blogs think he was quite brilliant and so do I :)

I'm always looking for intersting football-related blogs to read- which ones are you referring to? :)

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

You'll have to ask Sandra!

I was just going through this post and realized I'd missed the important part (migrainy - you know!) - "Managing Madrid" - they thought he did very well indeed!

It's sad that it's gone, but we should be grateful to the moderators who used to run it for letting us have so much fun there for a year! That was a lovely community and they did an impeccable and tactful job of running it.

This was an experimental archive only two days ago - posts were put here for storage and were posted here first to work on cuts, spacing, grammar, spelling, translation grief etc...

So it was ready to go, as they say!

Happy posting/reading/commenting!

Yeah for new com, and who ever came up with the name is obviously a genius. lol ;-)

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Now then - I do believe we could come to blows over this - but I am quite sure I am the first person to ever note Mesut's crinkly ears - don't tell derbis though (she has this weird delusion that she noticed first...)

But I am definitely the person who first noticed that Lukas Podolski can't resist them (http://crinkly-ears.livejournal.com/5264.html)! And he really, really can't!

But then, who doesn't want to nibble on Mesut's ears?

On the other hand, it was admittedly lovinthelads who came up with the idea for a community name.

It was brilliant at any rate!

Great work yet again Jenny! I have been a lousy commenter, but checking the site is like a ritual. Going to be exciting to see what you/we can come up with here. :)

The year of Mesut indeed. This morning in the radio they said that the people born in the year of the dragon are perfectionists, creative and determined. That's Mesut! Apparently every parent would want their child to be born during the year of the dragon and they are expecting a baby boom in China this year.

Thanks for the message about the new comm- even though I've hardly managed to comment during the last weeks/months, I'm still visiting regularly for mesut-y news :)

As always- amazing effort on your part-dankeschön!!

[lady-teazle.livejournal.com]

Got your message & here I am! The Mesut (and Sami) news is always a great tonic to some of the stuff that appears on my flist. :p

I have been reading about all the (supposed) RM angst. Media BS or is everyone at daggers drawn? :D

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

Andriy has just posted Mesut's little post-match interview.

It's only 30 seconds long - go and listen to it. Based on his comments, I'd say some of it may be true - or at least, the wagons are circling.

I've no doubt it happened. I've no doubt it happens at all clubs. What is interesting is that it was leaked.

[kittycat70.livejournal.com]

*uff* NOW I feel relaxed. Hello to all and thanks for the notification in Samis Com. Yeah, Mesuts No. 1 Spot on Tumblr is back! :)

[emuerz.livejournal.com]

I'm a bit confused, what happened to the o_ozil comm? Is this the same thing or?

[jenny-jenkins.livejournal.com]

That community has been retired unexpectedly by its moderators.

This WAS my storage site for all my posts. Other posters from the original comm have been re-posting their entries here.

So the same in that about 90% of the content was salvaged but different in that it is a new community with different moderators.

Welcome.

Ah, strange! I suppose I don't understand the reasoning but that's not really important anyway. I shall join this one and pretend the other never existed.
