Tuesday Toss

Stop the world I’m getting off.

It’s always good to be certain, and now we can be certain about Stan Kroenke: he is, implacably and without question, an ignorant gut of first order and highest degree. Interviewed yesterday, he said the following: “What was so tough about the Glazers’ situation? They won. And they have increased revenues by a huge amount. If I was a fan of that club, I would sit there and go, ‘Wow’”. This is so obviously so moronic that I won’t insult your intelligence by explaining why – just know that Stan Kroenke looks like what he is.

Arsenal – Marseille

Imitation Nazi (n.b. I am aware he is not a Nazi, that he had to deny these leanings in an indictment of what a pointless carry-on this country is) Robin Van Persie knocked in a hat-trick at the weekend, as Arsenal displayed a cutting edge, if not defensive prowess. It should be comfortable for them tonight, except Marseille have also pulled their fingers out. The Deschamps-Anigo power struggle continues to drag, but the players seem to have decided simply to ignore it. Playing a 4-4-2 with Remy and Ayew up front at the weekend, they stuck three past Dijon, looking something like last year’s side. Reanimated attacks and shonky defences, join us for our Arsenal 0-0 Marseille live coverage tonight.

NB This is not a political point

On the Comment is free bit of The Guardian website, there’s a facility for readers to stick up their opinions – no doubt because the paper is fascinated by them, not because it drives traffic. Anyway, the system works, after a fashion – except when the story concerns Israel. Even if it has no connection to issues of Palestine, Palestinians and peace, comments are disabled before 9am – or in other words, mutualisees can’t be trusted to keep their antisemitism to themselves. Is it any wonder people are paranoid?

Diplomatic Jose doesn’t really mean it

Jose Mourinho remained cautious on Wednesday night despite witnessing his Real Madrid side quash Galatasaray 3-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal. The Real boss, looking to win his third European Cup this spring, must have been delighted with his side’s three goals that effectively earned them direct ...

The blood stained pavement was covered with shattered glass and broken teeth. Egypt was engulfed in flames, leaving nothing but ash and blood stains in it’s wake. Enraged protestors tore apart police stations and political institutions while parents mourned the loss of their children. No, I’m not talking about the Arab Spring ...
