Just been belatedly listening to BBC 606 from earlier this evening. Ian Wright has just mentioned about how entertaining and sharp Danny Baker's Twitter feed is on the England v Malta game. Of course, I had to take a look. Remove the bullshit and platitudes, Danny doesn't pull any punches. Get past today's outpourings about his record collection and punk rock and scroll down. You'll know when you see it:

Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Will the people on here who were actually suggesting Glen Hoddle for the England job two weeks ago, please step forward, read this and then tell us if you think you were wrong or Danny Baker has lost his marbles <laugh><laugh>
 
This is funny on the topic of Giggs and his mates Savage and Sutton.

Oh wait, there's more! 1 week later Savage is still not over it.

It's a little like shooting fish in a barrel but that doesn't mean it's not fun.

Seriously, does anyone think that Giggs deserves a Premier League berth? What football management abilities has he ever displayed?

Yeah I know, maybe the joke is on us for reading about/listening to it. But that's why there's no point moaning about our lack of coverage. You really do get better analysis on not606.

A very good question.
The best he managed, was to keep one of the most sordid affairs I'd ever heard about under wraps for so many years. Does that count for something?

Just managed to read <laugh><laugh><laugh> & I agree with everything he said! Well done that man.
 
Endless build up on Sky for the Liverpool/United game. May be big for the teams involved, but I don't think it is as massive a game to others that it was. Years ago I would view it as a chance to watch two footballing teams playing each other, but the difference in quality between teams in the EPL is much less than it was, so can't see it as special any more.

I'm actually really excited about the game. I will only turn the tv on just before it starts though. I just can't handle sky repeeatedly masturbating over Klopp and Mourihno.

Koeman talking about the Sammy Lee situation. He said that Saints refused to let Lee and Watson leave with him and, even when we let Lee go because Puel brought in staff, he decided against taking him because of the Liverpool connection. Added that he was glad Sammy was still involved with England. I hope Lee keeps his job there as I really enjoyed seeing his mad enthusiasm again.

Big argument on Soccer Saturday about whether a goal should be allowed from an accidental hand ball. Law should be simplified here...if an accidental handball is not a foul...fine, but no goal should be allowed that is put in from a hand whether a foul or not. Simple change to put such an argument to bed....I would be furious if a striker kicked a ball onto his own hand (thus changing its movement from the defenders/keepers POV).
