It's A Disgrace

I texted Luton Andy today.

Remember him?

He is a friend of my lover and a Woking fan. He is also a major Hatter's fan (hence the name).

My text said:

"Just heard the news. 30 points! It's a disgrace. Hope life is better for you in other regards. Georgina. x"

The news I was referring to was this of course.

He hasn't text back yet. I think he may be crying.

Not that I would condone or minimise the things that led to the punishment. But you do have to wonder where it will all end. The club now appear to have a group of people really committed to making things work in a transparent way, yet again and again they are slammed for the misdemeanours of Board members and staff now long gone.

In other disgraceful news that disgraceful numpty Sepp Blatter has disgraced himself once again. With all the sensitivity of an elephant balancing on a daisy (yes I know the simile is not very good but I just made it up) he has likened the transfer system for multi-millionaire salaried players to slavery.

What is he on?

Disgraceful!

Blatter Patter And Other Matters

Gabor Bori. Not the name of someone from a Russian spy thriller but the latest signing for The Foxes.

Who incidentally shares my birthday, although there is a slight difference in our ages.

He is used to playing in blue and white, which are the home colours of his Hungarian team, MTK Hungária FC, so at least that is one adjustment he won't have to make.

Of course Bori is not the only foreigner to be making an impact on the football scene. The transfer window is seeing a frenzy of activity as clubs swap players and bring in new ones from the continent and further afield.

And then there is the biggest news of all - Mr Capello himself - who officially started at the office yesterday, although he was out and about at the weekend watching potential England squad recruits.

Interestingly, despite a warm welcome from England, Mr Capello's appointment has attracted criticism from none other than Sepp Blatter, the president of FIFA.

I have to accept that is a real name, whatever my instincts might tell me. And judging by his views on how women's football might be improved, is probably very apt.
