Get out more - switch it off if you don't like it!!!!

News reaches me that my single handed attempt to clean up the football media business is meeting with apathy at best and violent opposition.

In today's Observer I have read the words "Alan Green" and "excellent" next to each other in a sentence. Somebody, and I guess there are others, who actually enjoy his royal bumptiousness.

The Observer also published a letter from an unnamed TV insider that reinforced my view that pundits are crap and that it needs a bit of a shake up. Putting a little presentation table next to the pitch and linking live to the new saint and greavsie achieves only one thing - saves Gabby Yorath having to entertain the odiously earnest Andy Townsend. Sorry it makes 2 ex-players look like tools as well.

One thing the responses I have received have left me wondering is why as the king of football do I watch so little live in the flesh. Time and money I suppose - lame excuse. In order for football to be an affordable fortnightly expense you need to buy it in bulk - season ticket - and when you are confronted with a sizeable bill for one match you can easily find something much more pleasurable for less money. Difficult age I guess.

Perhaps a rest from the telly and the radio is in order. I'll get me coat.
