They played football last night. Some dork at the Football Association got Saturday at 3 mixed up with Wednesday at 8 so they all had to play in the dark and cold. Whatever next???

There are teams ya love (errrr, Spurs?) and teams ya hate (hmmmm; Chelsea? Man City??? Stoke????) and teams you kind’a quite like. Don’t ask me where these decisions come from, nor where they go, they just are. They are ‘feelings’, not particularly conscious thoughts, just sort of ‘flavours’. I’ve consulted various psychiatric mavens about this and apparently it all stems from penis envy. That’ll be £355, please pay Miss Faversham on the way out, we don’t take cheques or credit cards.

So I like Fulham. Always have. Maybe a throwback to them being the only team who looked right on black and white tv, maybe because they had Johnny Haynes (in the 60s) and later Rodney Marsh, Bobby Moore even, but maybe just because they play in a fab ground and they’re very inoffensive. And apparently not very defensive either. Or they wouldn’t have conceded 2 late goals last night to give Tottenham a well-deserved victory. And when I say ‘well deserved’ its no reflection on the game itself, which I haven’t seen, just on the basis that Spurs always deserve to win. God’s will. And all that.
Though I feel sorry for Fulham and their dire plight and plummet from grace to their current status of ‘below that line’. The line that separates relegation from survival. But early days still. I don’t feel as sorry for them as I would have if Martin Jol was still in charge. Because him we love. All Spurs fans love MJ. But he’s gone. Left the building. Pastures new.

I did watch the hilights program, a bit of it anyway, when I got back from dinner. Asian Fusion. China is no longer a world power in food. (How d’ya like them apples, Mr Li???? Not so nice when the boot’s on the other bound foot, is it??) Asian Fusion is everything. But Eden Hazard is even better. In fact from what I saw, he is the best player the world has ever seen. Even though he’s a fucking tosser for taking his shirt off in celebration. And it was only Sunderland he was playing so we must limit our praise a touch. Very very impressive though.
Competition for the ‘best player’ title was in the buck-toothed form of Luis Suarez. The racist cannibal scored 4 last night against poor Norwich and 3 were quite breathtaking. Some would say ‘sublime’. But that’d be the Liverpool fans, most of whom are not familiar with such words.

Arsenal won. Nuf said.

But Manchester United lost.
At home.
To Everton.
David Moyes’ old team.
And couldn’t score.

That’s a lot of baggage for poor Moyes to cope with. I wonder when the calls for his head will come. I’ve already heard disgruntlement from Man United fans (cos they all live round here, in London) about ‘not being the right man’, ‘not big enough for Man U’. What bollocks. Great manager’s a great manager and he is.

Ok, free points, a very happy thursday
