Harry Redknapp reveals his selection for tonights game

Just why might a multi millionaire tycoon be full square behind the decriminalisation of soft drugs ?

Priceless Jewell

Seems a New Year has a habit of unearthing football Neanderthals. Last January it was Andy Gray and Richard Keys unceremoniously being shown to the exit by Sky Sports having been ruthlessly exposed as serial sexists. With any luck the same fate will be visiting this years candidate for most retarded chauvinist - Paul Jewell the Ipswich Town manager.

Last night his team lost a game which was all the fault of a referees assistant who happened to be a woman. She failed to alert the referee to a nailed on Ipswich penalty according to Jewell. 

When a journalist at a post match press conference said to Jewell, "I think everyone to a man thought that was a penalty", Jewell replied "Unfortunately to every man but not to a woman"

Jewell obviously doesn't do apologies not even the insincere crap normally crafted by a solicitor.

Instead he came out with this, "I didn’t suggest in any way that the official made a mistake because she was a woman. I don’t think what I said was sexist and will argue all day long with anyone that says it is"


Judge for yourself 

One for sorrow, two for joy

Over to the land of fairy tales and North Korean State news agency KCNA have announced that on the very day their Great Leader Kim Jong Il passed way, "out of nowhere a flock of magpies suddenly appeared hovering over a statue of his late father, Kim Il Sung, clattering as if they were telling him of the sad news"

The same news agency also reported last week that a family of bears believed to be mother and cubs, normally hibernating at this time of the year like all good bears should be, had in fact been seen crying woefully by a roadside mourning the Great Leaders' passing.

Klu Klux Kop

It is seriously depressing to think that the Anfield Kop is now infested by pond life who think it’s OK to scream “you f*****g black b*****d” at a player from the other side.

That was grotesque in itself but for it then to be cynically endorsed by hundreds of others chanting the name of Luiz Suarez, a Liverpool player found guilty this week of racially abusing a black player - is simply beyond belief.

A tacit acknowledgement of guilt followed by an equally undemonstrative apology earlier this week had to be virtually extracted from both Luis Suarez and Liverpool FC - and then this !

What the hell is happening at this club ?

"Yes Ms Abbott that's the exit"

This story has got legs, mileage, it will run and run. Well it would if Diane Abbott was a Conservative MP . . . . . . and white. As she is finding out rather painfully you hope is that casual racism is something that trips off the tongue with ease or in her case – off her finger tips. You may not realise what you are saying/typing but you most certainly mean it.

In 97 well thought out characters Diane Abbott tweeted on Wednesday;

White people love playing “divide & rule” We should not play their game #tacticasoldascolonialism

The following day sensing an impending shit storm which duly arrived in the form of a public bollocking/humiliation from her boss live on SKY – she tried to convince everyone outside Hackney, the Labour Party, BBC, Ch 4 etc, that her words were taken out of context. They always are.

What she claims she meant to include in her tweet was that she was referring to the nature of 19th century European colonialism but claimed it was not possible in the maximum allowed 140 characters. Seriously ! (Note: First black female MP can't count)

I’m no Twitter expert but this white former colonialist seems to have managed it even with a character to spare, see . . . . . . .

White people love playing “divide & rule” as per 19th century European colonialism We should not play their game #tacticasoldascolonialism

Still doesn’t alter anything because its just as racist even with the additional ‘get me out of jail’ characters - what she is still saying is that us whites are no better now than we were in the 1800s. #reverseracismsackabbott

2012 cock ups - the first of many

Organisers admit they have managed to sell more tickets to the Olympic synchronised swimming events than there are actual seats in the aquatic centre. Condolences fellas if you're one of the unlucky ones about to be offered the womens 10m air pistol by way of an alternative - but look on the bright side, imagine if it had been a ticket foul up for the beach volleyball now that would have been a total catastrophe but synchronised swimming - what is there to miss ?
