Since it's 4:30 here I'd say it's about bed time. Let's call it a draw.

P.s. Poes law

This from today's popbitch email..

>> Castles and the Sky <<
Man to Man in Manchester?

Once upon a time, the whole pack of football writers was in thrall to Jose Mourinho. As time has gone on though, and Mou has got more bad tempered and defensive, his cheerleading squad has defected one by one.

These days it's only really Duncan Castles who's left defending him – and that's mainly because Castles is Mourinho's pet hack, getting the party line directly from agent Jorge Mendes, then regurgitating it straight into the Sunday Times – for about £1-2k a pop (nice work if you can get it!)

But Castles' defence of Man Utd's Paul Pogba (who was red carded against Arsenal last weekend) was too much even for fellow Murdoch hacks to take. Sky's touchline reporter Geoff Shreeves was so incensed by Castles that he basically offered Castles out over Twitter this weekend, suggesting they settle their argument "face to face" when Shreeves is up for the Manchester Derby on Sunday.

Manchester-based hacks are waiting with bated breath to see if Castles takes Shreeves up on it.

Yes, why wouldn't he be?

He wouldn't have as much to do, this season.

Scumcafe have a thread on this - this post seemed so typical of their fans:
