Nothing to declare, not even genius

How would Oscar Wilde put it?  To lose one high-profile job in football may be regarded as misfortune, to lose two looks like carelessness.  Once again, Damien Comolli find himself turned out on his ear, fired from Tottenham Hotspur over the Juande Ramos debacle and now paying the price for overpaying for duds.  The Frenchman may need to return to his native land to rebuild his reputation, though whether he’ll ever be hired in England in the future is more than moot.

Alan Davies.  No matter how he tries to defend his comments.  They were grossly insensitive.  So Liverpool won’t play on 15^th April and in the FA Cup semi-finals to boot – how could anyone criticise them for being unfair on Chelsea?  It’s not Liverpool forcing Chelsea to play Tottenham on Sunday at 6 pm.  It is the ludicrous demands of TV and the feebleness of the Football Association.  Chelsea asked to play on Friday, as happens in earlier rounds of the FA Cup, yet this was rebuffed.  Why?  If anyone is being unfair it the obtuseness of the television companies screening it and the FA in hock to them.
