There’s a new league table about. It’s the ‘most abused football players on social media’. The fact that this kind of abuse is posted by morons is highlighted by the fact that Harry Kane is in the Top 10. I have no idea why anyone would want to abuse a lovely man who is the captain of England. Unless they’re not English, would be a possibility. So there’s a conspiracy by rogue nations and my Harry is being taunted by a scummy bunch of Russian hackers, Chinese troublemakers, Chechen extremists and Scottish people. Jack Grealish also makes the cut so its not all a bad thing. The other 8 members of this most undesirable of top 10s all play for Manchester United. At the top, in number one slot, obviously, is Christiano Ronaldo, for a million different reasons, all fully justified. Ronaldo even beat Harry Maguire, so its not based on merit. And you can bet that about 99% of the abuse comes from Man United fans. Because their team had a shitty season. Win a trophy? They barely won a match. Ironically, without Ronaldo, they’d probably have been relegated. But the north-west of England is a footballing land filled with the greatest sense of entitlement found outside of a Royal dynasty. Obviously I’m not talking about Burnley here, nor Tranmere Rovers. Just the ‘big 3’ from that part of the world. It used to just be 2 of them who felt entitled, then Abu Dhabi rolled in and made it 3.

So COME ON!!! We don’t want Manchester United topping any table. Abuse your own players NOW!!!

This morning, not at all opportunistically, I received an email. From Spurs. Telling me how tickets for the Tottenham women’s games are now on sale. So we can all go and support the Cockerelesses. The Chickens. Chicks? Hens? Whatever. And the matches are being played at Stadium Hotspur, the (quite literally) finest stadium in the world. Especially when its full. With only 3,000 people in the 62,000 seats it won’t be so… buzzy. And for 7 quid a ticket? Could I go? Should I go? Just wear a balaclava and become part of ‘the legacy’.

Happy Wednesday
