I do beg your pardon - I've just witnessed ITV's Carling Cup highlights programme, tucked away on ITV4. I guess it's more of a bullshit apology because what I saw was a load of shite anyway. I know there were a fair few games to cover but, even so, there's no excuse for showing just one goal from matches that had four or five in them. It's 11:45pm on ITV4; I hardly think their schedule demands more important things considering the only people who watch that channel at that time are channel-hoppers who look for any excuse not to go to bed. And if Robbie Earl gets any more rigid in his presenting skills then he'll turn into a bloody concrete pillar before long. Ex-players who try and make it in the media should know when to call it quits (I'm looking at you, John Barnes).
After finishing eighth in their first season in League 1 the Carlisle board have made the ingenius decision to sack their manager, whose name escapes me for now. I didn't realise there had already been a managerial casualty this season. The sacking is a mysterious one to say the least, considering Carlisle have had much harder times in very recent memory.
And Spurs have held a meeting with boss Martin Jol after their poor start to the new campaign. That meeting wouldn't have taken place, I don't think, if Michael Chopra didn't score with the last kick of the game on Saturday. Jol is a good manager, and Spurs need to remember where they were when he took over. Two solid seasons of finishing fifth, interspersed with a bit of European football is an improvement on what they had before Jol became manager.
Don't forget to tune in for ITV's The Championship (and other leagues that don't matter) on Sunday when they will be showing extended highlights of Watford versus Sheffield United: a Premiership reject game from last season. Yes, join Matt Smith and the gang to watch what was Match of the Day's last game last season.

Got you linked on mine aswell, which probably means you may get some americans coming over thinking you are a man with insider knowledge on the NFL, so blame me and only me if you get questions like 'why did the New Orleans Saints trade Hank McYanksky?' or 'Which Notre Dame Alumni has crossed over to the big leagues the best and how many rushing yards does he have?'.
Honestly, Americans do like their sports complicated.
Yeah, I saw that ITV4 coverage of the Carling Cup aswell, with the Sheff Wednesday vs Rotherham game as the main match. It was a bit shite, and it may aswell have been called, "Sheff Wed vs Rotherham highlights (with results round-up)".
The fact that it was on ITV4 and not the usual ITV1 is itself a bit of an insult for non-Premiership fans, really. I mean, put it one way, it must be a culture shock for Charlton fans!
fuck, thats a bit long for a comment...
