Thelma and All That 24/7

Match on, football’s so called dug out experts, the free kick coach specialist, an array of backroom staff with laptops, physiotherapists, shrink busters, throw in coaches, data analysts enter ones diet prawn sandwiches all thrown in, the only authentic symbol is Mauricio Pochettino’s dangling wrist bracelet, all part of the show ponies, football’s crazed modern quirks, as Brian Clough would have said, ‘it’s all nonsense, I won two European Cups without the nonsense’.

Onto the training ground build up, managers have a pitch’s length of backroom staff, are the managers coaching, late night let the coaching staff prevail, I need to rest in one’s office on the fictitious contracts excuse, oh shit I have a press conference later, calm down change the face, adjust the collar, no sweating on the brow, not too much twitchiness and answer calmly and informative, add some bullshit and away we go, not too much rhetoric it could become a snooze fest. Press core over, time for a shower cleanse, those bloody press conferences, time for the drive home and to dodge the wife’s sproutiness and think football it’s 24/7, change the face is that you Fred, yes Thelma, it’s the Flintstones, bloody hell, Fred a football manager?

Tricky Ricky

The former red headed hair blaze, or is it brown haired pop star Rick Astly appeared on the TalkSport radio show, to air his views on one’s club Manchester United and all that. Rick did not seem dressed for the occasion, sporting what appeared to be a dressing gown type rope with a staled red colour. So, was Rick wearing the slippers to match? We will never know, but is Rick still on the Old Spice, we can tick that box. Rick’s hair was well pruned alongside the collagen effect for the early morning starter for ten. Rick went into rogue mode stating that he respected Manchester City and was pleased for Newcastle United, dainty Rick praising other clubs, that’s a no no Rick to the United fans, stick to the music.

The idiosyncratic Rick laid claim to supporters not caring who owns their clubs as long as the team is winning, one needs to change ones attire, wake up! Across the sunnier part of Manchester there will be protests the length of Eastlands if Manchester City are found guilty of over one hundred charges pending and subsequently stripped of their trophies, that’s ownership for you. Do the authorities have the steel balls to deliver hammer blows? The supporters need to know, all of interest ownership and downwards. The fans will never give you up Rick, or will they? Chase those odd balls.

YouTubers, Fake or Real?

The football YouTube influencer Mark Goldbridge, on the Manchester United based fan channel, has been criticised by the former United player Paul Parker for Goldbridge’s constant criticism of the Red Devils. The Manero to suggest that Goldbridge is a voice out there to run parallel with the supporters’ views, is that the case? Parker has stated that Goldbridge is a Robin, a fan of Nottingham Forest, so why would the cock robin jump on board the devil? To make money, surely not.

The YouTubers of the boxing fraternity to transgress with the youth to part with their money to generate millions on the back of the talentless and ego maniac the much publicised named wannabe a boxer the YouTuber the named KSI whatever that means v Tommy Fury in what was the show of misfits unable to land credible punches because boxers they are not in the true meaning, Fury registered as a professional boxer who has no skillset to aspire to the status of fighting for the British belt. Until the viewing figures drop zone then the wackodoodle swindle will continue, there are YouTubers who can operate to a high level to avoid a general view point.

The January 2024 edition will feature the titled same ideals, the Chinese v the Saudis, the same result?
