EDIT: It's Jason McAteer. Absolutely shit, the three of them.

Now now, leave Trigger alone. He's a top lad.

If you can get a reputation for being thick in football that is really something extraordinary.

I remember Razor Ruddock telling a story about how thick McAteer is. Razor said that he has always wanted to meet Jimmy White and one day he was in a pub with McAteer and Jimmy White walked in. Before Razor could say anything McAteer turned to Jimmy White and shouted "JIMMY WHITE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY" and Razor was so embarrassed he couldn't speak to Jimmy, who just looked confused and got himself a drink as far from McAteer as possible.

Can’t remember where I read it now, but McAteer locked himself out of his Porsche one night. When a mate told him a coat hanger could be used to pick the lock, he returned with a wooden one.

I met Jason McAteer backstage at a show recording for RTE about 17 years ago, he was really nice but yes clearly not the brightest. As an aside, I also shared a ham and cheese sandwich with Antonio Carluccio that day, nice bloke in fairness. Weird day, that.

Wasn't the Podge & Rodge show, was it?! It was bugging me where I'd heard that coat hanger story above and found it on Youtube this morning. It's exactly 8 minutes into this:

 

The whole video is worth a watch. Great seeing it again after all these years.

Sadly not, it was The Afternoon Show which was far less exciting.

A reminder that football clubs can still get some things right.

I'd urge you all to take 8 minutes out of your time to watch. Trigger warning obviously.

As a Millwall fan it's always nice to see West Ham in turmoil. Just a shame Graham Potter couldn't last a bit longer, really drop them in the shite. Goodbye Graham, we hardly knew you.

I watched the Brighton one instead, which was very good.

EDIT: Not that I wouldn't watch the Spuds one, just don't fancy watching multiple suicide prevention videos. Because it's pretty heavy as a subject.

Met Micky at a few events and he is a top top bloke. They recently put one in near me and also had a fundraiser for more benches. It's really taking off now and I love how they remember Jay now 'he gave up his life to save others'

It is not an improvement on Nuno, and he's a cunt. Our defensive abilities from set pieces have returned back to Cooper-esque, and it's very, very disappointing.

Got a proper wave of nostalgia there hearing Forest boo’d off at full time. Thanks for that boss.

[Devon Malcolm]

I think there's enough evidence to suggest that Postecoglou is just not very good by now, surely.

The boss man won’t stand for this as long as the Spurs gaffer did, thankfully. Marinakis isn’t shy at swinging the axe.
