The Football.....

[Joey Shabadoo]

I refer you to Gordon Strachan:

“People talk about morals – we don’t have any morals in football. Let’s get that right.

“Over the years I have played there has been wife-batterers, drink-driving incidents, infidelity, Eric Cantona jumping into the crowd and kung-fu-ing someone in the chest. The clubs stand by them.

“The supporters themselves, when these guys come back, they stand up and applaud them on the pitch.

“So don’t anybody start talking about morals – we don’t have any in football.

Another impressive performance this evening from Hamilton Accies, 3-0 victors over Aberdeen:

The longer they continue this, the more my hope increases that someone other than Celtic will win the league.

Our nil nil draw with them is now officially a point earned, rather than 2 dropped.

This match in Argentina was abandoned after a bit of pushing and shoving among the players -

I've just watched Soccer AM for the first time. It appears to be a comedy programme designed to turn football fans into idiots.

Or is it ironic?

I never thought I'd say this...
...Milner looked like a decent player today

 

[SpokeyDokey]

It's a real surprise that Hyper-Gus didn't have a heart attack today!

I don't think Southampton should have played 89 minutes while Sunderland's bus was stuck on the M3.

Milner has been vastly underrated throughout his career.

Milner has been vastly underrated throughout his career.

I'm not sure about that but he looked better than an average Premier workhorse today.
To be fair to him, I think he's been stymied by often having to play a strict, wide role that doesn't suit him. He's not a traditional winger but he's shown a very professional attitude nevertheless.

QPR v Liverpool, I wonder if anything will happen in the 2nd half?

No penalty at Valley Parade yesterday, I think the ref was too close to see it.

I think the answer to your question could be counted as "Yes"

I think 'Arry would be more than happy with the sack. He seems to have lost all enthusiasm.

Despite winning their first two games, and being top of the Premier League, I think I can safely say that this will be yet another season of under achieving for Tottenham. They'll probably beat the crap teams, but average and above average teams will be a real challenge for them.

Once again, I think the manager is the problem and he hasn't found out which 11 players work best together. And, IMO, Spurs' best player, Lewis Holtby (along with Christian Eriksen) has been sent off to the Bundesliga on loan to SV Hamburg for the season, so WTF is Mauricio Pochettino up to?

Good to see West Ham and Southampton flying high at the moment.
