The football industry is busy with its twice-a-year transfer jamboree this week but there will scarcely be a player, manager or executive in the country who isn’t daily checking on Harry Redknapp’s on-going court case into his alleged tax arrangements.
Harry, of course, is one of the game’s popular figures, everyone likes him, including me, but his evidence yesterday, that he’s been told “The problem with you is you’re named Harry and you have a cockney accent”, will have the nation pondering if he’s another victim of the systemic prejudice against white, wealthy, indigenous-named, senior and successful people from London. There must surely be a support group he can join.
I’m sure Harry’s innocence will be established but the law and tax authorities are right to pursue any doubt that exists in the running of the game, without fear or favour. Where appropriate, pursue the guilty through criminal, not just civil, courts. Only then will the innocent be sure of a level playing field. Lock ‘Em Up, as a Cockney may observe.

Remarkably that’s the first time I’ve actually seen the goals from that game.
Is the 5th goal continual passing or has it been edited to look that way?

Agree, if we were 60% as polished we would all be contented,
still we have a young bunch of bhoys and years ahead to perfect
ever hopeful

i watched A.C Milan v Lazio tonight.
Made the point about Victor and Seedorf several months ago – particularly his build (for someone so young).
Victor is not quite as offensive – but his recent goals might suggest that with him arriving from deep (and an improvement in his shooting) – he could be one of the finds of the decade.
I fully expect to see him gracing the latter stages of the CL in the next 5 years – unfortunately maybe not with us. :-(

The word of the night
Three of the five panel members on question time have used it tonight
Hamiltontim,
Truth is I’m not sure.
If it was, it is the greatest move in 160 years of football history and makes Brazil in 1970 look like a silly one-two.
This team will never ever be bettered and I feel so priveleged to have lived through it.

Keep the Faith!

Never wept for any team, but the Hoops.
It would feel like adultery…I imagine :O).
It seems Philvis has been right all along about greedy public sector workers and their undeserved pay. I see the Government owned and therefore public sector RBS/ Lloyds group chairman has been awarded a £980,000 BONUS.
His government pay masters said they couldn’t object to the massive payout as they feared he might resign along with the rest of the top executives at RBS who were also getting massive bonuses from the state owned banking giant.
In an ironic twist the government does not fear workers refusing to accept pay cuts, redundancies and changes to pensions even though there were two million of them who did actually withdraw their labour and who are still covered by ballots to let them do it again.
Perhaps they should tell the government they will all move to another country unless they comply.
Works for the bosses!

Barca’s style is based on the total football game inspired by Cruyff.
Which was developed from the style played by Celtic designed by JS.
Brothers in football.
herodotus/kitalba –
In the cold light of day, and having now had the time to review what has been going down, I now await your apology for your posts of 11:46 and 12:03 on 26 Jan.
As you will know by now, it has been confirmed that I have not been posting as herodotus or magnus and indeed magnus himself has also had his innocence confirmed.
Your post of 12:03, which includes comments from various posters DATING BACK TO NOV 2010 now looks rather silly, does it not?
Forget the apology. We all know it takes a MAN to apologise and admit he got it wrong.
Get a life.
This is postively my last word on this puerile nonsense.
Kojo my friend
Your parting shot Good Night, Duncan Halliday, wherever you are.Kojo at 23 – 29

Cheers bud.
Tom Leonard from Drogheda (my uncle) worked for Drogheda Dairies. I used to nip over during the school holidays and run with the milk. Good money for a school boy.
He enjoyed a pint did Tom. One morning we were very late in picking up the float (07.30ish.)
Says I “You wouldn’t get away with this in Scotland you know”.
“What do you mean”? says the bold Tom.
“Well everybody expects their milk to be delivered before breakfast, before they go to work” says I.
“Don’t be fecking stupid” says the bold Tom, “This is tomorrows milk”!
hamtim
And where should WE have sent them?
HT
I’ve often blamed the parents
but not the patents which is a new one.
Do parents need a patent ?
Maybe that’s the way forward.
