Monday Jan 27:
David Coote is in the news again. In an exclusive with the S*n (of course) he’s come out as gay and said that his struggles with dealing with that led to him taking drugs and calling Jurgen ‘a German cunt’. Firstly, the only people who hadn’t worked out he was gay were the ‘faithfuls’ in this year’s Traitors show. It couldn’t have been more obvious.
Secondly, it's largely irrelevant too as while I'm sure many of us can sympathise with the difficulties he must have faced, it doesn't change anything. He did what he did and there can't really be a way back from that, not in terms of refereeing in this country. not because of what he said about Jurgen or scousers. Not because he snorted coke at the Euros. But because he allowed himself to be filmed doing it and put himself in a position where he could be blackmailed. He may well have been for all any of us now. That might not have come to light yet, but it's entirely logical to think it could have happened.
Meanwhile, Gary Neville is getting stick for something he said about Cole Palmer after Chelsea lost 3-1 at City. At full time Guardiola did his “weird Pep” thing and made a beeline for Palmer, and they were laughing together, much to Neville’s annoyance. It’s very much an old school take from him but it’s one I wholeheartedly agree with. I don’t want to see our players laughing with that cunt, especially after losing 3-1. I like my players to be telling him to go and fuck himself, like my Darwin did last season.
Chelsea lost 3-1 and Palmer didn’t have a good game. He fluffed a one on one chance when he tried to square it instead of shooting and he overhit the pass to Jackson, so yeah, I wouldn’t want to see him laughing with the opposition manager after the game. Fuck that. It’s modern football though, they don’t think the same way anymore.
In other news, Amorim said he’s rather play his goalkeeper coach up front than pick Rashford. You know, I quite like how this fella doesn’t give a fuck about saying stuff like like this and how he isn’t pussyfooting around people. If he thinks Rashford has been a disgrace in training (which by all accounts he is) then why shouldn’t he say so? If a player is trying and is just going through a bad time (Hojland for example) then a manager should have his back and defend him to the hilt. If they aren’t putting in the effort though, take a fucking flamethrower to them. Probably isn’t going to help them find a club to take his salary off their hands though!
Staying with United, I saw a video today of some of their fans cornering “Sir Jim” as he left the car park. They told him he was worse than the Glazers (which in some ways he absolutely is) but the funniest part is when you hear one of them in his nasal manc voice just say “sort it out yer cunt”. Tremendous.
