Football 2020 - Rooney returns

[Blinder Data]

'I see Celtic won again and will win the league by Christmas'

'Aye'

The only thing more boring than Scottish football is English football bores boring on about it.

Actually it was shaping up to be an interesting title race at New Year, after Rangers beat Celtic at Celtic Park and cut the gap to two points with a game in hand. But then Stevie G's men "fluffed their lines" in amusing circumstances.

I think I might be getting a ''Thing'' for surgical masks

Yeah, but don't forget that Leicester won the English one once, therefore absolutely anything can happen. Never mind that it was probably the biggest freak result in the entire history of sport.  I was just about to put a fiver on the Blades overtaking Liverpool when the games got stopped as well.

What a strange mistake to make. Aren't mannequin style sex dolls (as opposed to blow up ones), even crap ones, somewhat expensive?

As sad as the Luke Chadwick story is and as decent as it is of Hancock to come out and apologise, surely the real story is this screenshot of Hancock taken during the interview on BBC news this morning.

Why is he living in a grow room?

9 in a row confirmed for Celtic. Damp squib obvs but they all count.

[The Culture Bunker]

Might be the picture quality, but it looks like Nick Hancock is going for a retro Bobby Charlton/Ralph Coates number atop there.

It's certainly got me smiling.

I actually don't miss football on any level, I've realised.

Indeed.

Ex-Swindon, Portsmouth & Celtic player Simon Ferry does some cracking long interview with ex-players / current managers on his Youtube channel. They're predominantly Scottish football-based, but most of the people he interviews have played in England and are pretty well known. It's the kind of warts-and-all interviews that you never get on any mainstream football interviews.

Clint Hill has some cracking Neil Warnock stories, and well as speaking very frankly about the disastrous QPR seasons under Hughes & Redknapp. Basically they stayed up because all the players hated Mark Hughes and his monotone aloofness. Jose Bosingwa being an utter bellend, the fact that long term Redknapp assistant Joe Jordan and Kevin Bond actually hated each other. Julio Cesar advising Shaun Derry on his commute to work "Why not just buy a helicopter?" etc.

I've watched half a dozen and there are very few duds so far (Frank McAvennie basically). They can all err towards "Wahey footie lads" and casual violence, but....that's what the players are.

Anyway, here's the Clint Hill one I'm watching, the others will be on the sidebar - Seems to be about 40 of them so far

Ooh, like the sound of this, as long as the Neil Warnock stories are about his decent into angry madness. Never liked Mark Hughes either, does anyone?

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Half an hour in and they're already at Hill's Palace days. What the fuck do they spend the next 90 mins talking about?

And yes it is annoyingly BANTERLADZ. Who would have thought going for a beer could be so fun?

I will never be able to remove the image of a naked Neil Warnock berating his squad from my mind.

Thought the same about Hill wndmilling his way into Cisse. Try that shit with Shittu and hes dead.

How does the most dour man on the planet motivate his teams to be so average? It's beyond me

Hughes would have had more success if he donned the outfit he wore while playing Philip of Burgundy in the Blackadder episode "The Black Seal".

So many Liverpool fans here now. It's almost as though we're a winning side again...

Does Eis Nein still haunt these parts?

When my missus saw me watching the interview out of the corner of her eye she asked why I was watching a news report about Captain Tom...

Hull City have BRAVELY SPOKEN OUT against pressure to restart and said they think the season should be voided.

COMPLETELY UNRELATED FACT HERE but I notice that Hull City are 21st in the Championship, two points clear of relegation, without a win since January.

Been tricky picking up points in the last 2 months mind.
