With a string of female sports masseuses having moved on at my gym I was left with the ultimate dilemma today – do I let a boy touch my naked body? Over the last five years I’d gone through a number of masseuses: a former Olympian badminton player (badmintor?), an Asian girl who asked me […]
The asset stripping at Newcastle – begun on a small scale last season – has continued in the pre-season. This week Habib Beye and Sebastian Bassong left the club for Aston Villa and Tottenham respectively for what is thought to be a combined £10m in initial fees. With Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins also departing […]
You wonder how many seasons Spurs can possibly begin without a left midfielder. There were flirtations with naturally left-sided players like Timothe Atouba and Reto Ziegler but they simply didn’t make the grade. We’ve seen Aaron Lennon, David Bentley and Luka Modric play there without much impact and even Robbie Keane made the odd appearance […]
Well he has form.

Yes, the lovable uncle who brought us running jokes like “flexible added on time when United are losing” and “signing crap midfielders” has been lashing out repeatedly at his now-rich footballing neighbours, (Manchester) City. Last week he gave his opinion on […]
The other third surveyed were women.
It must have seemed like déjà vu for Morten Harket and Magne Furuholmen, two-thirds of rock band a-ha, as they sat on the GMTV breakfast time couch in London on Friday morning. The scene was set when presenter Emma Crosby – somewhat understandably given the universal reference point – started the interview with a “Take […]
I don’t wish to be hackneyed – no more than usual, anyway – but the only thing scary about this McShane story is the possibility that he could be fit for selection. I thought the guy was great when he played against Wales in March 2007; so long ago, even Stephen Ireland was playing. Since […]
