Terry Hallard is unique. He was at the Shoreham air show tragedy on Saturday. That was the worst air show disaster (they rank them; soon there’ll be a ’50 best airshow crashes’ programme on channel 4) since 1952 at Farnborough. And what makes Tel (I’m sure he won’t mind…) unique is that he was at – Read More-
Jermain Defoe, the (for the moment) Sunderland striker, is hiring a PA. An assistant. To help him run his life. I’m almost kind’a hoping that the first task of his newly appointed Person Friday will be to get him back to Spurs. Where he was. Twice before. And where, really, he belongs. Not necessarily where – Read More-
The latest wisdom to come out of Australia is that to avoid a shark attack you need to dress like a zebra. Sharks are famously scared shitless of zebras and will avoid confrontation with that most docile of cud-chewers at any cost. Have you ever seen a fight between a shark and a zebra? No, – Read More-
We’re having a heatwave in London. Almost 32 hours without rain. Yesterday the temperature rose to a whopping 30 degrees and even at midnight last night it was still 26 degrees of gorgeous humidity and sticky sweatiness. Lovely. We don’t get too much continuous sunshine here, you really need to go to the third world – Read More-
Ok, Jeremy Corbyn is a nob. Fact. He’s a very very left-wing socialist who wants to re-nationalise everything that ain’t nailed down, will ‘abolish austerity’ (read: borrow so much money that previous levels of national debt will seem like chump change), he courts Islamic terrorists, donates to holocaust-deniers, joined in the pathetic rhetoric that ‘Israel – Read More-
Thou shalt not commit adultery. That’s one of the 10 commandments. I think. Sounds like something Moses would have brought down from the Mount. Thou shalt not kill. That’s definitely up there. But adultery, like ‘honour the sabbath to keep it holy’ and ‘love yer mom & dad’ are kind’a taken with a pinch of – Read More-
This is an online advert for Premier Estates Wine. They’re Australian. In case you might have missed the reference due to the subtlety of their advert. And its caused a shit-storm. Which is like a ‘twitterstorm’ but less digital. “Its in bad taste!!!!” they cry, unaware of their own ridiculous innuendo. But its not. Its – Read More-
So the question is; who will be the first top flight manager to get sacked this year? Even though its quite ridiculously early to even consider the season as barely under way, you can’t help but wonder. In the red corner is Dick Advocaat. The ‘manager’ (if you call that ‘managing’) of poor, hapless Sunderland. – Read More-
I’m a sweaty bastard. Oh, that’s nice. So I take a shower twice a day. Lovely. Morning and night. In case you’re even more interested than you were already. Wait; it gets even more exciting. After I shower I’d normally hang the towel on the towel-rail radiator thingy that some Scandinavian designed just for pretentious – Read More-
Just a brief footnote on the Doctorgate scandal at Chelsea when Jose Morinho slagged off his medics because the health of his players is nothing compared to the three points at stake, so its their fault. FIFA (all bow) have commented; their chief of medical things has spoken out in favour of Eva Carneiro and – Read More-
