    Premier League 23/24

    It was a real treat. They were a total embarrassment. To round off the comedy, Ashley Young was in the studio talking about how much of a let down it was for the travelling fans who'd gone all that way on a Monday night. Game was in London Ashley. I know Palace is a bit of a nightmare in terms...

    Premier League 23/24

    I've made money off Utd all season. They are genuinely dreadful. Their defensive data is that of a bottom half side. They've been constantly rescued by individual moments of brilliance from Fernandes, Hojlund & occasionally Garnacho. Plus Onana has been brilliant in terms of saves produced. Same...

    Man U playing Evans & Casemero at CB. With Eriksen holding in front of them. ****ing hell. Must be the slowest defensive middle in history.

    Spurs. In hot pursuit of glory at the business end of the season. 4 defeats on the spin. All is right with the world.

    Now Liverpool deciding to collapse as well to make it interesting. Quality stuff at the top of the Prem. Wonder if there's time for Nunez to miss a sitter just to complete everything ?

    Also hilariously funny how the Sky commentary is still giving it the ' excitable tone ' to everything. As if there's anything even remotely riding on this pointless game.

    Having fun today watching the Battle of the Bottlers at Anfield. Hilarious shambolic defending everywhere you look. Salah has been complete dog since he came back from injury but Spurs making him look like a player here. Nice of them I thought.

    Amazing how the best marketed thing in pretty much any field is almost always shite. Or at best sub optimal. Nothing sums up the state of the world better I think. From crisps & smartphones to politicians & ways to invest your life savings. All at the mercy of some of the most manifest...

    Sounds about right. Bit difficult to be a Britain First candidate though I'd have thought. Standing on the stage waiting for the results, 42 years old, wearing an MA1 pilot jacket, checking your watch because your mum told you to be in by 11 or she's locking the back door. Not a great look.

    They can't. When you qualify for your UEFA badges there's a clause in the certificate that says if you ever play 2 strikers you automatically forfeit the right to ever be praised for any achievement & the press are required to say that it was because the opposition were shit. You also get sent...

    Victim of the modern game. A player who needs to be the support striker in a 2 but will probably never get to play the role. At least not regularly. A wasted career.

    I've met a certain guy, through work, who was at the Telegraph at the same time as Johnson. This guy is in his mid 70s, lifelong Tory voter. The archetypal gentleman of the shires. Voted in every election since 1970. Stayed at home in 2019 entirely due to Boris. Apparently when he could be...

    Or maybe, just maybe he actually is the thick chaotic disorganised **** he's always seemed to be & all that stuff about it being "an act" was put about by his allies.

    Outside of Leverkusen, Bologna have been the story in europe this season. Perrenial Mid table/bottom half club. Nobody expected them to be pushing for the CL.

    Rob Edwards is a better manager than Farke too & Luton have given it a proper go. But they still look like failing. Leeds will spend double what Ipswich will & that should make the difference. Just get Norwich up through the play offs & Leeds out of the equation altogether is still my optimum...

    I was going to say that it was probably because they're both prime examples of having the ability to fail upwards. But then I realised that isn't actually true. Rees-Mogg reached his heights without ever actually making any effort at all. So neither failed nor succeeded. Just didn't have to try...
