Toxic Web v4.0

…you know there’s no case to answer.

Now as Sports Minister, Gerry Sutcliffe is a non-entity of a human being, never mind politician, just another clown in a long list of clowns to hold that job – except of course Kate Hoey even with her Woolwich scum associations – I mean he’s a subordinate in a department headed by Ben Bradshaw that contains Siôn Simon for christ’s sake.

So I don’t know anything about Mr. Sutcliffe’s record on moralising before he started off about John Terry, of which more allegations have arisen with another slapper.

For example I don’t know if he came out and took a stand against the then Foreign Secretary, the political face of our nation abroad, Robin Cook shagging a member of his staff behind his wife’s back. I don’t know if he took a stand against the then deputy Prime Minister, the man that led the nation in the PM’s absence, John Prescott, indulging in bit of post croquet coitus with a member of his staff at his tax payer funded grace-and-favour flat and residence.

I do know that he seems to be quite happy to remain as a minister, with all the perks that comes with, of a government that sends ill equipped men and women to face injury or death in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He also seemed quite happy, going by his previous silence, that Terry was given the armband in the first place even with the player having a long list of scummy acts that could and probably should have prevented this happening, that I pointed out on Saturday.

But of course he’s the Sports Minister so he needs to have his say on the matter, make himself seem important…

to be the captain of England you have got to have wider responsibilities for the country. If these allegations are proven it does call into question his role as England captain - Gerry Sutcliffe

I don’t seem to remember him calling into question other England captains, some with more questionable wrongdoings than shagging about with a team mates girl behind a wife’s back.

Was he mouthing off when Donkey Adams got the job after spending two months of a four month sentence in clink for driving while being more than four times over the legal drink-drive limit. Just slightly worse isn’t it and if the position of captain hasn’t been totally devalued by that wearer then Terry’s case isn’t going to do that much damage. How many of the ex-captain shave been drinkers, heavy drinkers.

Then we’ve got Beckham, forget the shagging about with a pig wanker, he’s the only England player not only sent off twice but the only one to be so while captain. Shearer, a Mary Poppins off the pitch but on it a scummy elbower, yes we were all happy when he kicked Neil Lennon in the face – services to football and all that – but his cheap shot elbow cost us against Argentina in ‘98. Ferdinand’s had the armband, banned for missing drugs tests and then the roasting sessions and videos from Spain.

I don’t like Terry as a person, a scumbag that along with so many is so representative of the worst aspects of the game as it is now but we have to be realistic about all this. Will it cause ructions in the camp? Well his club mates rallied round when he scored against Burnley, though Lampard was as enthusiastic as the rest. Some Citeh players showed their support for Bridge with t-shirts, none of them English though.

But when it comes down to the squad selections for South Africa, if everybody is fit, who is going to be picked, well Terry is. Is Bridge, after all these last few months when he’s had a game the leftback has provided a complete blooper reel highlighting how not to play that position, doing his best to make Cashley look world class. And if Cole is going why shouldn’t Terry be captain. Bridge is an understudy now, I talked him up before but it’s gone, after being happy sitting on the Chelski bench for so long.

If Fabio looked beyond his usual suspects he’d see a leftback that can defend as well as attack, a fullback that takes all his club’s left footed set pieces, Leighton Baines, he should be the other leftback going.

Now if Bridge is in bits and wants to give up on England, then without him in South Africa five months from now with a World Cup on the go, even if some of them don’t get on what ructions will there really be amongst a group that think of themselves first.

…a bunch of other posts.

What do you mean that’s all I’ve been doing for years?

Well if England and Spurs didn’t repeat themselves ad nauseam I wouldn’t have to repeat myself on here ad nauseam, it’s a vicious circle but ultimately they’re the ones to blame oh and those that won’t take a telling.

So after the one all draw with Brum I’ll take a bit from here…

Typical Spurs game, usual start, all over them chance after chance created, chance after chance missed. Oh for someone to just put the ball in the back of the net. They had chances but Gomes really didn’t have to extend himself, if Big ‘Eck had a half decent striker at his disposal they really could be doing well, can see why he was after Pav.

So ‘Arry sent out almost the right team, almost each are doing there jobs properly, Bale again doing his best to keep the leftback job, Bentley doing exactly what we bought him for, making sure he’s still at the club come the end of trading today. Palacios and Hudd controlling the middle of the park. Just the strikers not gelling, Defoe especially off the boil, with nary a touch of the ball to his name. Then 69 minutes nice cross by Bale from the byline, a did he mean that flick on from Crouch and bang the Defoe we know and love makes it a well deserved one nil.

Carry on controlling the game but slowly start to fall back, back far too deep, then ‘Arry makes some substitutions, no one knows why. Falling deeper and deeper. The board goes up, 5 minutes again another five minutes added on to the end of a game that came from nowhere. Four subs that’s 2 mins, not much else in the way of injuries maybe add another minute, it’s nowhere near five. It seemed to shock one side.

And paste a bit from there…

Ah the ball is on the Spurs right just outside the box, one of the subs comes over to block a cross, no, that’s not what happens. The sub in question is the Jenasite, he skips over, then gives us all a little twirl, completely poncing out of any cross blocking. The ball flies to the other side of the box where a Brum head meets it to send it back whence it came. Ah yes that old Spurs last minute/injury time chestnut, as the ball makes it’s way back the fullback – Corluka – is lollygagging letting a member of the opposition glide past him with ease nipping in at the back post to either score the winner or as in this case get the equaliser.

Another two points dropped, as Villa, Pugwash’s side and Citeh notched up wins, so now we’re only respectively 1, 2, and 4 points ahead of the chasing pack, with them bar Liverpool having games in hand.

Another piece of cut & paste, with the Scum getting yet another stuffing by a title chasing side…two points here, to go with those lost at home to Stoke, Wolves and Hull added to the draw with Everton, it’s 12 more to add onto the 41, it would mean second top, Champions League spot pretty much secured.

Will the signing of Eidur Gudjohnsen – ‘Arry says he struggles with four strikers, would prefer just three but now he’s got five, if Robbie Keane isn’t shipped soon – and the resigning of Younes Kaboul make any difference to the same old story, same old song and dance…
