If you wanted a game this week that involves tackling then this may be the one.
If this call for fans of tackling isn’t bizarre enough, the MOTD pundit also left the “Verdict” section blank. Which kind of defeats the object of a prediction.
MOTD’s worst pundit highly tipped for Kinnear’s job
According to our friends at the newly-designed chickendinner, Alan Shearer has dived past Joe Kinnear and Kevin Keegan to emerge as the new 11/8 favourite to become Newcastle’s next permanent manager.
A spokesman for SkyBet revealed that there have been a flurry of bets on the former Newcastle striker placed in the North East after reports that billionaire Philip Anschutz, who owns a stake in LA Galaxy, was keen on taking over at St James’ Park and had somehow come to the conclusion that Shearer is the ideal man to take the club forward.
This doesn’t seem like great news for the Magpies - just as they are beginning to gain some stability under their interim gaffer, a man with no experience and a thin grasp of the tactical nuances of the game (see any edition of MOTD for evidence).
Do you think he would be good for the job? Let us know with a comment below…
We get Chiles, Lawrenson, Shearer. Italy gets this…
While the small world that orbits the Premier League is seriously sexy, crammed with canapes, fine wines and WAGs, the face of English football is still an ugly one. On TV, buffoons like Lawrenson, Shearer, and Hansen deadpan their way through their punditry, with barely a button undone between them. Even Gary Lineker hides his oily legs under a suit. Not so in Italy though, where beautiful Federica Fontana hosts Controcampo - Diritto di Replica - a popular Serie A show, which goes out on Sundays. She’s absolutely gorgeous.
Other than television presenting, Federica has done her time in the fierce world of clothes-less modeling, and certain gossip circles are sure that she once went on a few dates with Totti, back in the days before his long luxuriant hair was less smarmy and preposterous. With her taut body and smokey eyes, we could certainly understand his interest.
What with Theo Walcott suddenly morphing into the best player of all time, and England now totally guaranteed to win the World Cup, you’d almost forgotten about the WAGs, hadn’t you? Poor girls, out there in the real world, getting ignored. So thank Christ for The Spoiler, because our eyes of steel didn’t once shift focus to the footie.
The big news is that Danielle Bux (pictured above) did some photo shoot thing about a bus - she was joined by some girls in pink underpants. Carly Zucker was out getting some fresh veg and fizzy water in Waitrose as blood squirted from her boyfriend’s soft head on a field in Croatia. And former WAG Danielle Lloyd has seemingly given up on footballers altogether, and now only goes out with small men - or tall dwarfs. Which one is it?
The Spoiler is torn, one half of the hundred-strong team says these two are the same guy, the other fifty are completely livid, saying they can’t see it at all.
But what do you think?
On another note, apparently Lineker is engaged to Danielle Bux. We’ve snuck in a steamy picture of her after the jump…
We’d so nearly gone off him completely, then this…
It’s hard to enjoy listening to Alan Shearer, everything his says is just so… obvious. Or so we thought. That was before we stumbled across him awkwardly working his way through All Night Long by Lionel Ritchie, complete with a totally unnecessary mid-Atlantic/sometime-West Indian drawl - what the hell? For exactly five minutes he is very nearly entertaining, standing there, hand in pocket, even singing the echo bits from the song. Amazing.
Eccentric old Garth Crooks, providing some late night analysis of Spurs/ Manchester City on the Sunday MOTD in his inimitable elderly-bachelor-talking-to-a-stupid- foreigner style, insisted on pronouncing the surname of Spurs fullback Pascal Chimbonda as Chimp-onda. Was this just an unfortunate error, or is Garth right and everyone else wrong? Probably the latter.
