h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Now this is a paragraph I dearly wish I'd written. Funny, scathing and very, very true:

"I’m beginning to doubt that [Leeds United utility spod Danny] Pugh is actually a carbon-based life form, so seamlessly does he blend into the background during games, so easily do attackers pass by/through him as if he isn’t there. Maybe Bill Murray and the other Ghostbusters team should come in and check for ectoplasm. A total waste of space (if he does actually take up any)."

Leigh Griffiths used to play for Dundee FC and he started a typical inane footballer's blog. You know the kind of thing - "Training for the big game today, everybody up for it. Banksy/Stokesy/Knowlesy looked good and scored" - meh. A Dundee supporter of no small talent started this alternative.

Excellent stuff.

When Colin went to Leeds a Cov 'supporter' wrote a long impassioned rant about how he would have been the saviour of Coventry City Football club and we'd rue failing to persuade him to take charge of the Sky Blues. One particular phrase he used in this tirade stood out and following Tuesday night's game was cut and pasted as a reply - I will have to paraphrase it on this family site.

Neil Warnock - the man's a ~ ~ ~ tactical genius.

'The best answer to the tactical query came from Rangers' two games against Norwich City, in November and January, when in both cases QPR lost after Paul Lambert made substitutions and reconfigured his team, with almost immediate results, while Warnock failed to respond. In the game at Loftus Road, Norwich's substitutions were followed by Clint Hill, the Rangers left-back, bellowing to the dug-out: "You've got to change it! It's --ing five against four! They've got wing backs! You've got to change it." Change came there none, and moments later Norwich scored their winner.'
