Weekend Review

Where to start, Manchester United 8 -2 Arsenal. Embarrassing. I mean how the fuck did Man Utd concede two goals to the worst Arsenal side since the 1800s. In all fairness Per Mertesacker should be a good signing for the Arsenal defence. That is until he spends five minutes with Arsene Wenger and Johan Djourou and they coach all defensive abilities out of him. 

Man City fans praising performances – you’ve almost signed every fucking decent player around, I should fucking hope you play well.

Roy Hodgson on 0 points. Class. Still not his fault though. Not Uncle Roy. No. Never. Warning to West Brom fans – it will probably get a whole lot worse. At Liverpool we were consistently shite, by all accounts West Brom are playing well and losing. Oh dear.....

Finally I turn to my favourite topic, Harry Redknapp. The irony of the man complaining his pre season has been ruined by other clubs discussing his players. The fucking irony. This is from the man who has made a living out of doing that for years. He’s spent the best part of the last two years publicly tapping up Scott Parker and looks like he’s finally got his grubby hands on him and he has the cheek to criticise Chelsea for making bids for Luka Modric. 

I played a fun game last night, put Harry Redknapp’s name into Google followed by the name of any player and nine times out of ten there is a result where he is discussing said player. For a man who on Sunday hit out at another club discussing one of his players take a look at the following interviews carried out by this Sky Sports News hanging out of his car window twat. You can’t make it up.

Charlie Adam

Redknapp told talkSPORT: 'Daniel rang me late on and asked if I like Charlie Adam. I said 'yes, he's a fantastic footballer'. He said do you want him, I said 'can we get him?'.
'We pushed on and tried to do it, Daniel was confident he could get it through. It went to the wire but we missed out by minutes.'

Redknapp added: 'Daniel dealt with it. Apparently the boy was definitely up for coming...apparently the chairman couldn't get hold of two shareholders who had to sign the forms as well. It's just one of those things.'

Phil Neville

“We made an offer to Everton,” he explained to Sky Sports News.

“If David [Moyes] doesn’t want to sell him then that’s fine. That is the only one that if anything was going to happen then it’s a possibility but I doubt there will be any business from us at all tonight.


“It’s up to Everton whether they want to accept the offer we’ve made.”

Andy Carroll

He said: 'I can't see Carroll coming here, he's a good player but Newcastle won't sell him.' Won't come cheap: Redknapp suggested Carroll was valued at £30m-40m The White Hart Lane boss also suggested that the Magpies' hefty valuation of the player put him out of Spurs' league. Redknapp added: 'He's a good player, he's a handful, you'd like to have him in your team. But we are nowhere near getting Andy Carroll. How much is he? You are talking £30million to 40million.”

It’s good to know even the Spurs fans have seen through Redknapp’s bullshit as seen in this superbly written piece, something I can only dream of writing. Please read.
