Yes, this is headline news. I wrote way back in June 1998 about Mr Beckham and the “overratedness” of the then-foetal brand. I think time has gone on to show him to be the fourth best of the famous Man U midfield quartet behind Keane, Giggs and Scholes (in that order). In that ten year […]
Sarah Palin – the woman who makes George Bush look open-minded and knowledgable – lept to her own defence following comments from the John McCain team which didn’t paint her in the most flattering light. It was alleged that she thought Africa was a country rather than a continent and that she could not name […]
‘Arry Just on a side note, a radio bulletin this morning claimed that ‘Arry Redknapp is chasing his “fourth consecutive win” as Spurs manager against Dinamo Zagreb. I ignored the obvious mistake and a few hours later after realising it was wrong they changed it to “third consecutive win”. So I texted the radio station […]
Oh dear. There’s no doubt that Tottenham were a sinking ship under Junande Ramos, a man afflicted by an inability to motivate, organise or coach players effectively. How he could go from being one of the top managers in Europe with consecutive European trophies to one floundering at the bottom of the Premiership and losing […]
The Irish Government have decreed that people over-70 who can afford to pay for their own medical care will have their free medical card withdrawn in order to help balance the books in these tough economic times. There has been national uproar with politicans, commentators and the man in the street (not Joe the Plumber) […]
Morass Nothing better than hearing a politician go on about a situation being a “morass”. It underlines just how serious the state of affairs is. “Senator, is the situation as under control as the government make out?” “Quite the opposite, dear.” “Don’t call me ‘dear’. I’m a professional broadcaster.” “Sorry, love. What we have here […]
Axis of Evil Axis of Evil was a classic George Dubya Bush phrase, coined in early 2002. The suggestion was that Iran, Iraq and North Korea formed this so-called “axis of evil” – States that assisted “terrorists” and provided weapons of mass destruction. This of course laid the groundwork for the 2003 invasion of Iraq […]
There is so much ageism in Hollywood these days with plenty of top notch actresses unable to get a suitable role once they turn 40. Well I’m here to address the balance. I present to you the Sexiest Sixties XI – women who are old enough to be my mother! 11 Barbara Streisand Age: 66 […]
The media are firing broadsides at Tottenham since the first day of the season and no doubt the football club will continue to be a sub-editor’s punchbag after a home defeat to Hull City today. But it’s wholly unfair for any commentator or support to expect anything other than a relegation battle. It is frequently […]
If I hear that fucking word again…
