Toss the Ball

Money, golf, Los Angeles FC in that order for Gareth Bale who has called on football’s governing bodies to prioritise players’ welfare above money with reference to football’s fixture congestion, quote Bale “Without the players, there’s no product.” In response, Bale prioritises money over game time on the pitch alongside a round of golf, without the extortionate wages the product is not worth playing for, is that right Gareth, is Bale authentic? Bale has transferred to Los Angeles FC, Mickey Mouse?

The House of Deceit

According to Michael Owen, a watching of the dating show Love Island has not been on his channel wish list button, not until Owen’s daughter Gemma appeared on the show, according to Michael, fiction? Michael to suggest would have had pre-notice of Gemma’s appearance on the show, to be aware of the complexities of the show, has to be the case doesn’t it? Owen played the oblivious card, yes, this is not football related, but Owen is a public figure, it’s interesting to judge the mindset and to expose the denials. The show in part revolves around acquainting with the male contestants and spooned up sleeping in one’s bed, to further indulge the sickness tablet, Owen’s wife Louise offers a running commentary and analysis.

Owen used the smoke screen of not giving full approval, but did one give self approval previously on texting a reality show star with admiring comments “Can we meet”, but the press core got wind, Owen went belch, Louise gave a damming analysis on Michael’s behaviour, wind assisted for the coat of arms, Love Island 2.

Coffeed

Gary Lineker has confessed to a dark coffee rather than a milky one, according to Gary I was subjected to racism at the primary’s”. No, not the American elections, but during those formative primary school years, fiction of course? Perhaps Gary’s been spending too much time under the Match of the Day headlights, match on, coffee for 2. The Football Column condemns racism.

The Mystery Caller

Loaned out to Leyton Orient 2011, Millwall 2012, Norwich City 2012-13 seasons and returned to his homeland for the 2013-14 season which marked the road to greatness. The talent had to be harnessed, without the desire and determination to succeed, the player would have fallen by the wayside, never give up on your dreams, Harry Kane.

Tent City

Time to rent a tent (accommodation) the Qatar World Cup 2022 at a reported £350 a night, all the mod cons, furniture, ensuite bathroom, free to air channels, breathe in, right amongst the sand dunes, watch the hands of the thieves, sand permitting, that’s in the price too. Based 30 miles from the capital Doha, the village of Al Khor, rent a camel, tent city, sleep tight in a Qatari tent, no thanks, much prefer the BBC footie, Gary Lineker?

Yorath Milked

The Euro 2022 Women’s tournament comes under the footballing umbrella (oh fashion) so it’s time for the lady presenter Gabby Yorath to feel the heat who is lauded for her fashion sense straight off the Stella McCartney designer peg, alongside the termed upmarket designer Victoria Beckham, whose fashion label frequently marks out at millions lost.

To follow, the Gabby wardrobe sported a tent size like yellow suit resembling the 1970’s clothes décor, a gust of wind would seal the deal, watch the flares. To enlighten us further Gabby gave a presentation of a Grecian styled frock akin to a Jason of Argonauts look, oh for those jumping skeletons. Gabby’s outfits as noted would not look out of place in the 1976’s Brotherhood of Man (the aged pop band). That’s the problem, the brotherhood, the Gabby quote “I can use the outfits for future broadcasting presentations”, no thanks. To please the brotherhood further, Gabby donned a multi coloured striped jumper at a marked down price of four hundred pounds, courtesy of the Victoria Beckham label which inspired the look of ‘Anyone for cricket?’, the ging, gang, goolies of the Euro’s 2022.

The other half ‘Golden Balls’ David, has added his name to a range of virtual reality games and digital goodies, all wrapped up in the hairiest packet you could wish to meet and that’s no bollocks. To continue the football link mixed with diversity, is the former football trainee Brooklyn Beckham, who has shot ranged from promoting vegan trainers to a promo with the Superdry fashion clothes horse (watch the gallops) alongside a beefburger ad, and later dumped by Superdry, for the two ads, vegan trainers v the beefburger, confused? So is Brooklyn Bridge. The two mirrored Beckhams became a further reflection with David promoting the Qatar government (2022 World Cup) while sitting in the UNICEF ambassador’s seat, whatever happened to the Humpty Dumpty’s? Oh fashion.

Rising Figures Euro’s 2022

The TV viewing figures for team England breached the seven million mark, a change of opinion, why not, the add on, 8700 in attendance for the final, Wembley Stadium, England v Germany with the final’s viewing figures breaching the initial seven million mark, double that figure.

Champions

Congratulations to the termed Lionesses, team England, 2 to 1, victors v Germany, crowned the Euro 22 Champions. The ladies game has moved forward beyond initial recognition, technically highly proficient, tactics, systems, fitness levels, mental capacity to deliver, the all round ball park. Before the deciding goal entering into extra time, England had the look of champions, rightfully England’s, so richly deserved. Many people’s perceptions of Women’s Football would have changed, the Manero included, time to swallow some humble pie, gulp!

Pundit City

The stooged effect came into play with three pundits on the Euro 22 block earmarked. First up came Ian Wright who was intent on patting oneself on the back with ‘I told you so’ syndrome, yes you did Ian, now there’s another pat on the back. Side kick, Alex Scott’s vocabulary revolved around as is something was stuck, perhaps Wrighty’s foot, England’s triumph is a world defining moment according to Scott, with Alex’s hand movement in sync with a robot’s, host Gabby Yorath tried to avoid her at all costs, an emotional wreck locked into cement. Third up we had an Americano, the name escapes me, giving his analysis while wearing the John McEnroe plimsoles “You cannot be serious”, the pundit blockheads.
