The Fifteenth Photo


On the train on the way down looking pretty relaxed – obviously oblivious to the pain ahead. I’ve got my go faster hair cut nothing can stop me now. Perhaps guilty of trying to cram too much into the weekend, but if I just mooched around all day then (a) would have to deal with the kids being bored, (b) would have nothing to think about but the marathon and (c) may be tempted by the demon alcohol.

At least this way I’ve got travel across our wonderful capital city and the beautiful game to occupy my tiny mind. Should Fabio call to check on the form of Green, Upson, Cole and Parker I’ll be able to give three hearty guffaws and a reluctant thumbs down for Parker. This is on the basis that the poorer the players around him the better he looks. World beater at Charlton and West Ham, ordinary at Chelsea, so bemused at the ineptitude around him at Newcastle he couldn’t play. Could have looked the part with Sven’s shambolic England but no place in Fabio’s Brave New World.
