Hullo playmates. Another day of wading through rehashed, poorly constructed untruths. No I don’t mean the Bible, I mean the absolute shower of jackanapes passing themselves off as sports journalists that are clinging to the scuttled ship that is the printed press. John Cross in The Mirror. You can make your own John Cross. Simply spit onto a sheet ... Read More »
‘I’m looking forward to next season’ he says…
Good afternoon where you are. I’m in a state of partial media isolation. The day the Premier League fixture list is released is a miserable conveyor belt radio and TV presenters yacking out endless fixtures like incontinent machine gun being fed random words. I mean, what is the point? Am I alone in this? Chelsea face a tough test ... Read More »
Paulinho deal in ‘might happen’ twist
If you think our club all too frequently courts disaster, take a look at Sid James Park. Who amongst you says that club is being run like a 70% off shoe shop, who?! Joe Kinnear is arguably a manager that football looked over, but it’s a struggle to argue the case for suddenly appointing him Director of Football at ... Read More »
The much awaited, much feared, mega bid for Bale …is in
A dreadful headline, but one to match reality, I’m afraid. Perhaps you might wish to focus upon THIS as I am still told this is still right. He is 100% staying. That said, I am told a significant bid has been placed. Given all the Zinedine Zindane nonsense of the past few days, it’s ambitious to believe the money has ... Read More »
Sunday bloody Sunday
At times like this, you can really understand why U2 wrote a song to really encapsulate the frustration of a Sunday. You wake up in the morning, you’ve got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you’ve got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think ‘Sunday, bloody Sunday!’ So what’s occurring on ...

Paulinho & Welbeck
Good morning self harmers. Let’s get this Danny Welbeck thing out of the way, shall we? The source of this particular tin of still warm urine is Sports Direct News. The title tells you all. Like Sister Mary O’Hagan’s Book of Oral Sex Tips you kind of know this is definitely a book you can judge by its cover. ... Read More »
ITK Triangle
Good evening where you are. The Tottenham Triangle? It’s a place where football transfers go, frequently never to emerge again. This week’s podcast is another two hander (that’s what she said) with myself and the sports broadcasting legend that is ODM. Unlike many, we dissect like men armed with surgeons’ blades. There is one name in there. And the ... Read More »
Swoop snubbed, slick snatch suspected
Good afternoon where you are. It’s all go. If you’re prepared to venture out of the safety of your psychiatric ward and click online. The Telegraph cooked up the tale that André not only has a £10m release clause, but PSG were preparing to meet it. But hold, tight, mon braves, L’Equipe are now saying that the GFG has ...

11 O’clocker: Sneijder, Templar Knights & Quotes!
Guten Abend where you are. Top chap @mattcracknell85 was on to it straightaway. He spotted The Mirror’s Darren Lewis concocting a a load of old rubbish while many of us were still on our first coffee of the morning. The president of Galatassaray 100% did say: I have been following the rumours about Sneijder, but we have not received ... Read More »
€2M short, allegedly
Wotcha. The word is that we’ve had a bid rejected by Atletico Mineiro for the services of Bernard Anicio Caldeira Duarte. Seleção Brasileira (@BrazilStats) has Tweeted: What I understand is that #THFC‘s #Bernard offer is not more than €2M short. Player wants to leave, #BVB and Spurs leading the run. As a matter of fact, #THFC are expected to ... Read More »
