“And if I was a Spurs fan I might be a bit miffed to say the least!”

“"David Beckham did not read whilst playing football."”

“I would have thought that if he can't read and write he would be the perfect person to be the England manager especially when one considers the overpaid prima donnas who call themselves footballers.

What England need is a good football manager, regardless of nationality, who will get the best results with the available resources. There are supposedly fantastic players available yet all they do is lose games and make pathetic excuses which begs the question, are they really that good?”

“We had a captain, John Terry, who cheated on his wife (though why that meant he had to be stripped of the captaincy still baffles me), then we had Rio Ferdinand who skipped drugs tests ( the same as being found guilty of taking drugs) then we had Gerrard who ended up in court for a bar brawl, then we had john Terry again who is on trail (innocent until proven guily) for racist abuse. Any chance of Liam Gallagher being available to manage England. We have never been the same since Bobby Moore was arrested for shop lifting just before the 1970 world cup finals.”

“They're not going to be lining up to take this job so it will probably end up with whoever might be half suitable and is mad enough to take it on.”

“Oh dear, he has just put his foot in his mouth by describing a middle eastern businessman as 'he looked straight off a market stall, the only arab who didn't have a well in his back yard'. With racist outbursts like this (however ironic considering his own east end past) he sounds just right to lead the chav supporters.”

“Well we have a parliament stuffed with corrupt cheating expense fiddlers who milk the country for all they can get, Euro MP's who are on a massive gravy train getting huge kick-backs and trade perks, every executive of every large company live high and wild on expenses that make a mockery of the wages of the actual workers who keep the country going, why should a man who runs a sports team be any better?”
