Thought For The Day

Please oh please could Newcastle United give Alan Shearer the job of manager. The reason? So that we'll no longer have to put up with his horrendous punditry on MOTD - the combination of him and Lawro is televisual cyanide. If he mentions the phrase "classic centre-forward's goal" one more time I'm going to throw a brick through my television. The man (and his ridiculous Island of receding hair) is a menace to the good name of entertainment. This is, after all, the whole point of football. So with that in mind I put in a vote for getting a comedian on the pundit panel - I mean let's face it, you could hold your own in that shower with only a basic grasp of the fundamentals. Frank Skinner for example would do an excellent job - at least he'd have something slightly more interesting to say than "that was sloppy" (Alan Hanson's oft-heard catchphrase). I'll tell you what's "sloppy" Alan - your shamefully limited vocabulary and simplistic usage of the English language!
