Good morning, I’m find it it difficult to get ma hate on, blud for Manchester City. In fact,  I’m finding it difficult to feel anything toward them at all.  I saw them play last week. It was very much like watching show reels from beta trial of a football computer game. The big Eastern block bloke up front; a smattering of burly English ‘Roast Beef’ types and then just a conveyor belt of imported mediterranean gits with all with varying takes on a short back and sides and they must all use the same shade of hair dye. ‘Taxi de…

That’s right. The worst one, if your idea of worst is the one that’s scored the most. As I hilariously Tweeted yesterday there is an emerging pattern here whereby our principal criteria are that a player can speak the Queens, get a round in and know his way around a roast dinner. A decent source in Italy is suggesting that Espanyol are enquiring about Super Crazypavinchenko with a view to a loan/option to buy deal. You tell me. It makes sense from their perspective with Osvaldo doing the off to Roma and given the choice of our fearless trio, would…

Good evening. First up, did you catch A&E on the talkSPORT drive time show? This is precisely what we want. We know he’s a no nonsense guy. Remember ‘that’ interview? Football was just a job…?  The intervie with Durham was of course, bulk standard fare. Chat about this, chat about that. But what was so bloody wonderful was the wrap up,’Well thanks  ‘for talking to us, Assou.’ This was followed- quite wonderfully, inspirationally – with an almost naughty schoolboy, “Come On You Spurs!” cry.  A&E you glorious gift, I salute you sir. As Goughie remarked afterwards, had they had John…

Good morning. I was looking forward to last night. Judging by the size of the crowd at The Lane I was not alone in my enthusiasm. Judging but the largely silent home support and mass exodus before the final whistle I wasn’t alone in being bored senseless by the first stage production of SNES’ Sensible Soccer On Ice. It was contemptuous of all concerned that we were served up a reserves game. I’ve only watched one before and this was pretty much identical. Chase ball at lickerty split and barely a brain cell on the premises. I’m not anti these…

Good evening. Did he pass it or pass out? When asked to provide a urine sample did he reply, ‘from over here?’ I do not know… The news comes from a tip top source within the bowels of Madchester Citeh Football Club. Now enjoy tonight’s game! BIOYC! TheBoysFromWhiteHartLane (mp3)

Good afternoon, We meet again the mighty Hearts under the lights with nothing to defend ourselves with but the knowledge Joe Jordan is on our side and they arrive with minus five on the card. The wound licking continues a pace in N17 after the pretty miserable collapse at Old Trafford we’ve been teased with a an out of focus Polaroid of Musical Youth and a quote from Diarra essentially suggesting he’d rather join the Moonies than us. Where’s Levy & C0? I want my chairman to step outta the gloom with a striker on each arm and I don’t…

Good morning. I do hope you kept your receipts. It turns out that Diarra transfer we were all encouraged to buy was in fact a lemon. Things change of course, no man can predict the future. Look at Michael Fish. But it does make you wonder how it is that seemingly dozens of ‘in the know’ merchants told us repeatedly that this was done, double done and done again for the player to then say,  “Information about my departure is a lie. There is no agreement with Tottenham.” I can understand one bloke calling it wrong – Benzema anyone? -…

Can the last fan leaving The Lane please turn the light off. I have been frowned at by some for ‘Arry Bashing.’ So it will be interesting to see how many still in the happy clapper club want to renounce their inexplicable blind faith and join the free thinking majority. Joe Downsy Cole. Having taken some time to reflect upon Arry’s CV I’ve reached the inevitable conclusion he is a magnificent firefighter. He knows where you can buy buckets, he’s always got a mate that’ll sell you some top top water. But when it comes to managing a side that…

Good evening to you, Have you seen this man? This image emerged on Twitter earlier this evening but I couldn’t bring it to you as the baby chimpanzee that hosts this blog had somehow managed to get both his arms stuck in his nappy and truss himself up like a Christmas goose with the string of his yo yo. So here courtesy of @footballramble is that picture. If you click on the second image you should get a grainy close up that proves that if you enlarge an element of a crap picture you get an enlarged area…
