    1860 München in dire straits

    Mrs Vienna and I went to a game in April 2006 at the Allianz, though the top tier of the stadium was closed. The match was so memorable that I’ve forgotten the score, though I think it was a draw. But the thing that stood out for us was 1860 supporters behind the two goals were chanting at...

    World Cup 2026

    I just can’t get excited about this World Cup. The main host country is led by a fascist, racist megalomaniac. Kick-off times are about as antisocial as it’s possible to be. And the level of commercialisation, along with the original pricing structure for match tickets, is through the roof.

    Is there a red shirt cartel or are we just deluded?

    Carragher, Neville, Gerrard, McManaman, Rooney, Keane, Keown, Merson, Dixon. Even Stephen fucking Warnock. And that’s just off the top of my head, without thinking about it. Our football coverage is infested with ex-red cartel players, all promoting and favouring their former team.

    I see Christmas Day, owned by the Coolmore stud, won the Derby yesterday. Would I be right in assuming that the pisscan doesn’t have a share in the horse?

    What's the worst "world's gone mad" nonsense you've ever heard?

    Asda Eastlands café - and probably all Asda cafés - offers a 10% discount on food and drink for over 60s on Wednesdays. But the staff are not allowed to ask for proof of age!

    Songs with a drum intro

    Instantly recognisable from the first few beats. I loved the whole Two-Tone / Ska / Nutty Sound movement of the (very) late 70s and early 80s, and Mirror In The Bathroom is my favourite of all the songs from that time. A fantastic offering from The Beat.

    Truly great song lyrics

    Mark Knopfler is a great lyricist. Some of his songs are very clever. My favourite is Industrial Disease: Now, warning lights are flashing down at quality control Somebody threw a spanner, they threw him in the hole There's rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town Somebody blew the...

    What a stupid fucking shot that was! Facing the last ball of the over, with a ferret at the other end, so he really needed a single to keep strike, and he tried to smash the ball out of the ground. Idiotic!
