OY MERSON NO!

29 Nov 2009 by Peter Morgan in Premier League 2009-2010

paul-mersonWatching Paul Merson’s latest attack on Manchester City sent me back almost a decade in time to the days of Harry Enfield and his grotesque character ‘Loads a Money’.

How this ultra biased Gunner is still employed by Sky Sports is just a mystery to millions of watching fans across the globe.

It certainly isn’t for his eloquence of speech as the washed up Ex- England star stumbles through yet another incomprehensible utterance as though he’s just come back from lunch at the local pub.

The only conclusion I can think for the Toad of Powder Hall still being in a prime time television job is that he amuses host Jeff Spelling and the other pundits so much that they just can’t bear to be without him.

In fact, the Ex-England star looks so much like the Toad of Toad Hall in a monkey suit that maybe thousands of Children worldwide are to blame for a rise in viewing figures as they believe his segment to be a continuation of children’s programming.

In Toad’s latest instalment he analyses Man City’s performance against Hull City. In a game that City dominated but couldn’t kill off, Hull were awarded a penalty to level the score and steal a point.

When asked about the Sky Blues, Merson labelled the Blues as a coach of Hollywood superstars who had failed at top four clubs and were now cracking under the pressure of failing to deliver!

Now I don’t know about you Paul, but wasn’t Carlos Tevez a big hit and winner at Man United? Wasn’t Kolo Toure the last remaining member of ‘The Invincibles’ arguably the best Arsenal team of the last 30 years?

The next pearl of wisdom that made it’s way out of this sorry excuse for a man’s mouth was the bitterest attack on the Blues to date.

“I look at Man City’s team and not one of them could get into a top four side…”

So astounded were Matt Le Tissier and the other pundits at what was coming out of the Buffoon’s mouth, they were rendered speechless.

The silence was eventually broken by the tactful Stelling, sounding like a father to his teenage son, suggesting that Merson was exaggerating again and that of course Shay Given was good enough.

Merson’s response was typical of a man who has long since made brain-to-tongue communication redundant in his world.

“He wouldn’t get in ahead of Cech at Chelsea, but I’d ‘av ‘im at Arsenal…”

Are Arsenal not a top four side then Paul? The analytical genius obviously has a problem with City and one wonders if it is over more than just the Adebayor issue.

With a full three and a half minutes to talk, there is no shortage of material to illustrate how biased this man is and you just have to see it to believe it for yourself.

HAPLESS HART SACKED

26 Nov 2009 by Peter Morgan in Portsmouth

paul-hartPortsmouth have finally plucked up the courage to sack hapless manager Paul Hart after a series of defeats.

After a run of seven consecutive defeats the Pompey heirachy and Hart have parted company.

In March 2007 Hart was appointed director of youth operations at Portsmouth and quickly built a reputation for himself.

When the bumbling Tony Adams was given his marching orders tw years later he was rewarded for his endeavour by being appointed as caretaker manager at Fratton Park.

At the end of the 2009/10 Premier League season, having secured Premier League status the gentle spoken Lancastrian was handed a two-year contract as the club’s first team manager.

But that was as good as things were to get for likeable Englishman as it took nearly three months for Pompey to finally secure their first Premier League victory.

By then however, the damage had already been done after opening the new season with seven consecutive defeats.Today after nine months in charge, Hart was sacked by Portsmouth.

Portsmouth player Danny Webber commented,

“The news came as a massive shock,”

“The first I heard of it was when I saw it on Sky Sports News.

“Paul was at training today and everything was as normal as usual. I don’t think any of the players saw this coming at all.

“I am sad to hear Paul has gone as I myself and all the lads have been impressed with the work he was doing and how he conducted himself.

“I don’t think anyone would have any bad words to say about him.”

Former Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson has been installed as the early favourite for the vacancy, with ex-Charlton and West Ham boss Alan Curbishley also a contender.

SHAME ON YOU WIGAN ATHLETIC

22 Nov 2009 by Peter Morgan in Premier League 2009-2010

wigan-atathlecNow forgive me for being a little miffed at the moment, after all we have just drawn a sixth consecutive Premier League match.

Yet the reason for my sudden bout of dizziness lies not like most Blues sat staring into their Sunday night pint wondering when this rut will come to an end but elsewhere.

Nor is it because ‘that lot’ in Stretford won again against the Blue half of Merseyside either. No, It is because this Blue has just returned home to see the Spurs – Wigan score.

Now don’t get me wrong beating Wigan at home is not something that should or ever will give me cause for losing the plot. What does rile me more than anything else is the score by which they won this Premier League game.

For NINE goals to one in what is supposed to be the best league in Europe and possibly the world is quite frankly embarrassing. Jermaine Defoe scored FIVE and again let me make it clear that I have no agenda against the hugely talented Spurs pocket dynamo.

The problem I have is with the opposing team. I mean what were Wigan playing at, because it certainly wasn’t football! What happened to the team that almost took three points off Manchester City last month?

Losing four nil is embarrassing enough and five or six might would be classed as being taken to school, but NINE is just beyond comprehension in today’s so-called top league.

Anyone would think that Tottenham were the genuine title competition for Chelsea this year, but you only have to look at their latest attempt at playing a Top Four side to realise they are nowhere near.

Manchester United completely out-classed them in their recent contest and the Red Devils are hardly flying on all cylinders at the moment.

Wigan Athletic should sack their manager immediately for failing to inspire his players. For as nice a man as Martinez is, NINE goals against in the Premiership is just out and out incompetence.

All of the travelling Wigan supporters should have the cost of their tickets and accommodation refunded by the spineless overpaid players that call themselves entertainers.

In fact a memorial monument should be built outside the JD Stadium itself listing the names of all the poor souls that were victims of this disaster lest they never be forgotten.

The real loser is the Premier League however as the self-proclaimed best league in the world has to sit down and take the next day’s barrage of abuse from foreign hacks squarely on the chin.

Shame on you Wigan FC … shame on you.
