Urine Or Your Out

Where do you stand on the Avram Grant issue then?

Maligned competent manager or naive mediocre pretender?

He is as unusual in his own way as Mourhino. Although to be fair no one would argue that he has the same amount of charisma.

He seemed to appear in the spotlight from nowhere following the departure of The Special One.

Some brief research has, however, revealed that he has a strong pedigree for the role as manager of Chelsea.

His doubters point to a number of things. A lack of tactical ability. A failure to manage intra-team disputes. And of course that there is an air of the sinister about him.

Even his supporters struggle with his morose demeanour.

There are of course those who claim they have seen him smile. But evidence is scant it has to be said. When I put 'Avram Grant smiling into Google Video, the message displayed was "Your search did not return any results". Which probably tells you all you need to know.

Whilst he may not be blessed with the most beautiful of faces, he does, it seems, have a number of imitators. Such as this. This. This. And this.

I have, however, in my never-ending quest to bring you the very best of football information, found out why he has such a sour expression.

When you and I are drinking orange juice for breakfast, his wife, Tzofit Grant, serves him with this.

And in case you doubt me, that really is his wife, and she really is doing this.

I just wonder what she has in her glass in the picture above. I mean it can't really be ...... can it?

That really would be taking the piss.
