My Sky's on the blink at the moment so I'm working from the podcast unfortunately...
Right, where to start? Biggest stories this week concern ManU & the red knights, and the contracts of 3 players; Shaun Wright Phillips, Jamie Carragher & Joe Cole.
According to the Observer, Alex Ferguson is backing the red knights. However, Alex Feguson has "strenuously denied" this. This doesn't stop our panel from giving this story the seal of approval - "if it wasn't true, they wouldn't have printed it". Excellent logic.
Onto contracts: Shaun wants £75K per week according to the panel. He's bemused, he's not asking for top money at the club, he loves it there and wants to stay. Unless they won't give him £75K per week obviously. Jamie Carragher, at 32, has looked at his situation and decided if he doesn't get a contract offer at Anfield, he's going to have to go elsewhere. This is 'news' apparently.
FInally Joe Cole will be off on a free at the end of the season if Chelsea don't sign him up. As a simple observer, this would suggest to me that Chelsea don't think he's worth a contract. However, the press have decided he's off to ManU, or maybe Spurs, like a dagger in the heart to the Chelsea faithful.
Then we're back onto the England team. Christ. Oliver Holt back on his fucking soapbox about John Terry & the captaincy. Rest assured, if/when England fail to win the World Cup, Oliver will be pontificating about it and blaming Capello, saying if only we'd listened to him we'd be world champions. John must have some very good pictures of Ollie in unnatural poses to get his arse kissed like this. Mind you, hyperbole IS Ollie's speciality. "Portsmouth's victory over Birmingham is an amazing human story". Give it a rest Ollie, for fuck's sake.
