Not Fit to Iron the Shirt
Former footballer and manager Joey Barton has ruffled a few feather boas in recent weeks by stating some of the least controversial comments imaginable. He has said that the current locust swarm of female pundits are crap. That’s not even an opinion. It’s a fact. Claiming that their presence on screen in the context of…

Twearps
Hold my Prosecco while I have a whinge. For the second year in a row, the public has voted a woman footballer the ‘Sports Personality of the Year’. Their game, their rules. Good luck to all the women making money from football. I say the same about proper players making zillions from Premier League merchandising.…

Flakermaker
Following their ‘world cup’ victory, triumphant Spaniolo player Jenni Hermoso hugged her FA President Luis Rubiales, lifted him legs akimbo aloft while the hapless prez reciprocally offered a lips-on kiss to the hopeless lez. Big deal. Apparently, a veritable shitstorm has now engulfed women’s football as he hadn’t filed a notarised consent document prior to…

Beyond Parody
They think it’s all over – it is now. England’s women’s ‘football’ players have been traumatised by their first dicking. Sorry, their first dicking in a ‘world cup’ final. I never actually tuned into the farce itself – I’d had one of those moments during the night when I had awoken and wondered whether the…

Dire ‘Straights’
Predictably, the fringe loons gagging for eight inches of stiff virtue signalling have been clambering for Sarina Wiegman to be paid the same as Gareth Southgate. I actually agree with this. They both deserve expenses only. Hardly a full-time job is it? All the coaching and tactics gets done back at the Premiership clubs. It’s…

Lez Just Forget It
The women’s football ‘world cup’ is about to get underway, and I for one will be glued to my TV set. ITV4 are re-running The Sweeney, Minder, and The Professionals. The Dallas under-15s boys team must be a trifle gutted that the football equal pay row looks to be bearing fruit. Who’s fighting their corner…

Snookered
I’m old enough to remember when Keir Starmer and the new-old-New Labour acolytes whipped themselves into group hysteria at Boris Johnson’s claim that their boss had failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile. He was only the Director of Public Prosecutions after all – but, as he said, he had no direct responsibility for the case. We…

Snatch of the Day
Good evening. Match of the Day will still be showing tomorrow but some soli-dar-idee will mean action only and no expert punditry. Business as usual then. I’m personally torn on this issue. I passionately support freedom of speech, but witnessing the Leftwaffe’s kamikazes ploughing into empty fields without shots being fired makes my ring tingle.…

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go…(Again)
No sooner had Lionel Messi hoisted the World Cup aloft, Gareth Southgate had indirectly confirmed that it would be another four years before England had the faintest hope of collecting a major gong. It all rather summed up where not just football is but where we all are in general. Messi, arguably the greatest player…

Messy
Once again, Croatia have advanced in a major tournament while Brazil have shafted themselves with their own indomitable sense of entitlement. In 1990, England had lamented 24 years of hurt, which in terms of absent World Cup glory is exactly where Brazil are right now. Mind you, they have a back catalogue of five trophies…
