I'm not trying to demonise the bloke, but......

1. Running at someone and sticking your knee in their chest is not a run of the mill collision

2. The keeper walks straight off without checking on the player he flattened

3. If you do rewatch the clip you will see that as the keeper is walking off the pitch one of his teammates runs across to low-five him (before they all realise how serious it is!)

If it does end up in court that will take a lot of explaining

I've seen the challenge. It was incredibly reckless.

The Tenerife striker is in the centre circle and turns to chase a through ball and runs straight into the opposition keeper who knees him in the chest.

The striker goes down and seems to go into cardiac arrest while he's on the ground.

I'm sure the keeper feels terrible about it but if that happened anywhere other than a football pitch he would be looking at criminal charges.

For my money it's worse than that challenge by the Millwall keeper on Mateta in the cup a couple of years ago. Probably not as bad as the Schumacher challenge but only because Schumacher knew what he was doing whereas the keeper here didn't seem to be thinking at all.

They were bitching and whining all the time about Moyes and he won them a European trophy.

Moyesball is stodgy fare but it's practically 1970 Brazil compared to the way Parker goes about his business.

It would be interesting to see how the West Ham fans take to that.

I don't tend to think of West Ham as a 'big' club but they are bigger than any of the clubs Parker has managed.

If he does get the job they won't like his style and they will let him know it!

I think that's a good shout. Although he will bore them to tears.

Scott Parker played for West Ham. He has got to be in with a chance.

Not that their fans will like his brand of football.

If Kieran Maguire's sums are right they are in deep trouble.

In 2024/25 they were paying £400k a week just in interest repayments.

Arsenal seem to think that warm-up routines might be contributing to injuries:

I can't think of a specific reason for it but there does seem to have been an increase in the number of players pulling out of games because of injuries picked up in warm-up routines.

But having said that, Madsen and Mbengue were both on the bench for the Derby game and both came away from that with lengthy and mysterious injuries. Particularly mysterious in Madsen's case when he didn't even get on the pitch.

It suggests to me that either the club is not assessing injuries correctly or we're naming players in the squad when we know they are carrying injuries and probably shouldn't be playing.

One non-speaking scene in Tinker, Tailor and another non-speaking scene opposite Alec Guinness at the end of Smiley's People.

Nice of him to give George his lighter back

That'll learn them

EFL rules say a club can be deducted 3 points for every instance of fielding an ineligible player:

45.2 Any Club playing an unregistered or ineligible Player in a League Match may have three points deducted from its score and/or be liable to such other penalty as a Disciplinary Commission may decide.

So why have Wrexham got off so lightly?

Burnley's owners haven't submitted accounts for 2024. That can't be good!

Mary Whitehouse would have had the Beeb closed down if they had ever broadcast Frank Bough's recreational activities.

A Line and a Lash.

Definitely one for after the watershed. About two decades after the watershed.

One more goal would have put him out front as our leading scorer for the season. So he's entitled to be annoyed.

For now he has to share top spot with Kone and Smyth.

The levy will raise £20.3m.

And they got £45m from the government for setup costs.
