Of commentators, pundits, administrators and managers dress sense

Well, well, well. After some great FA cup shocks – well done the mighty O’s- football continues to keep us entertained (this is despite colourless pundits such as Lawro, Hansen and even drabber presenters Adrian “rather listen to paint dry” Chiles.

Lets start with the commentators well on 22/1/11 Richard Keys and Andy Gray land themselves in hot water for sexist comments (oh how my heart bleeds). They commented that the young female assistant did not know the offside rule (who actually does???) Brilliant we might finally loose Andy Gray from the airwaves – deep joy.

Then we can turn our attention to THFC’s latest signing David Beckham. He takes his son to watch Arsenal while Spurs are away to Newcastle. Well done Dave that should really endear you to the Spurs faithful.

It gets better – Arsene Wengers dress sense. Just what is that sleeping bag he has taken to wearing  - is trying to tell us that he finds his team boring!!!!

COAT OR SLEEPING BAG

Then finally, we have the Olympic stadium fight. Who should get the complete waste of the taxpayers hard earned – West Ham or Spurs. Well if looking at this from a purely geographic point of view it should West Ham – backed by that great West Ham fan Karen Brady. Spurs being backed by former West Ham hero Harry Redknapp may think that they disserve it more – well Spurs do your fans want to give up their North London home come to think of it to West Hams finest want to move?

Just for the fun - no insult intended see below for one of last year's funnier moments.

Arsene Wenger throws his waterbottle!! MUST WATCH!

Last Weeks Round up

Kasper Schmeichel, son of Peter, proved he is really following in is father's footsteps with another excellent display against Arsenal. Leeds in the end out gunned but with heads held high they gave the londoners a run for their money.

With Man City also winning their FA Cup replay the 3rd Round giant killing came to an end but there could be more to come with a few potential banana skins in the 4th.

It has been pointed out to yours truly that the standard of commentary and punditary is becoming more wet, drab and boring than a scoreless draw on a cold winters night out in the barren wastes - well I agree.

BBC reel out the same pundits time after time and evry time I get the urge to watch paint dry to liven up the proceedings. Beeb hire Barry Fry or someone with passion and ability to bring humour into the game. For those that rember the Fast Show give us Ron Manager (Paul Whitehouse).

ITV are little better - just exactly what well known team did Adrain Chiles play for.

FA Cup Third Round

Well it's great to see that the great tradition of 3red Round FA Cup giant killing still goes on, post New Years celebrations would not be the same - its the fizz in the liver salts.

Among, but not limited, we had the away victories of Notts County against Sunderland and Leyton Orient against Norwich (sorry to the home team supporters but best of luck in the league). For Leyton Orient a welcome boost to a topsey turvey season.

With the great footballing traditions disapearing fast this bastion of what the game is I must hope continues.

And the night belongs to?

Well a quick look at last nights football and I can't help thinking that it could reflect the whole of the season.

Everything went right for Man Utd their top spot looks safe, with Arsenal and their other main rivals Man City only managing a draw with both teams having a player sent off.

Spurs flatering once again to decieve with Everton getting a well earned victory you can't help thinking that Spurs may get 4th place as Chelsea seem to self destruct. Mick Mc rightly well pleased as his Wolves side grabbed a victory against a West London side that just can't seem to perform since losing Butch.

West Ham's gallant run ended by a Newcastle - though we still think and hope that they escape the drop.
