My condolences to the Lampard family after this week's tragic news.
However, at the risk of sounding callous, why has this story dragged on over the last couple of days? Yes, it's a tragedy but why was it front page news and why am I still hearing about it on rolling SPORTS news channels?
Footballers (like all human beings) suffer berievements all the time but why has coverage of poor Pat Lampard been in the spotlight so much?
Methinks the PR machine is trying to drum up sympathy for one of the country's most disliked players.
Bad taste? Well, that's CSKA Fulham for you!
I Miss You Thierry-bly
So the grass isn't necessarily greener?
I'm not going to subcribe to the newfound assertion that the man that made the Premier League his own for so many years is now crap!
However, it's no secret that Monsieur Henry's Catalan dream is turning into something of a nightmare.
Not once has he talked about how good life is in the sun and he cant stop talking about the club he left behind.
Wenger, ever the diplomat, refused to shut the door on a return for the former Arsenal talisman.
Shame that in reality he rarely signs anyone over the age of 20
Mil-no-moor
Sad news today could see Rotherham go out of business.
The club has gone into administration twice in the last two seasons and have struggled to find a buyer.
When top flight clubs are whinging about their managers not buying so and so or which billionaire owner they would prefer, it takes a story like this to put that all in perspective.
Wes Brown was given a £50,000 a week contract last week (for what?). The Millers' are overdrawn by just(in football terms) a couple of million quid.
Football needs to take a good long hard look at itself when professional clubs are on the brink of extinction.
The Big One
CSKA Fulham host the Salford Bay Rowdies in a 'Showdown' for the premier league title tomorrow.
We're in for a cracker! What with CSKA's unrivalled ability to send the opposition to sleep at The Bridge and The Rowdies prioritising Tuesday's second leg against Barca, it should be one for the ages.
The current CSKA team would be the worst champions this country has seen. Even their own fans will tell you that (if you can find them. None will be at the game). In a bittersweet sort of way, winning the title would actually be quite amusing. The experts have had a field day telling us that expansive, exciting football is the holy grail. If CSKA bore their way over the finish line, Sky TV might actually implode on itself.
Ronaldo has been brilliant this season. A bag full of tricks, incredible pace and an eye for goal have made him seemingly untouchable. And just when you thoughts there was no end to how amazing he is, the boy added a touch of the supernatural to his game as he actually DISAPPEARED at the Nou Camp on wednesday. The boy's a genius. Expect him to pull the same trick in another big game tomorrow...
