Absolute shambles of a ticketing situation at Ajax last night. The bods at OT have a lot to answer for. The club really does employ some f*ckwits and make Salford RLFC staff look like MENSA members. Anyone else have any problems getting in?

Tomorrow morning at 9am, ITV 4 begin a re-run of the excellent 'Big Match Revisited', which is basically a week-by-week showing of the ITV version of Match Of The Day from 25 years ago. It's a great watch, showing football from before it became the circus it is today, as well as being a lovely nostalgia trip for older viewers. Tomorrow they feature Man City -v- Spurs. They also feature Barnsley-v-Wolves, with pictures no doubt from their friends at Yorkshire Television.

YTV or someone used to do re runs of 'rock and goals years' or whatever it was called up to fairly recently, it was pretty hard to get booked in those days, and it pretty much took an on pitch murder to get a red card.

Lineker has nailed that smug tw&t Morgan a couple of times recently

What is it with Piers Morgan on Twitter? He comes across as really smug and a complete bully. Obviously some of it with the likes of Lord Sugar is just playful banter, but he does get really personal with other people.

I think Twitter is a great window on people's souls. So he comes across like that because that's what he's like.

He's a tw&t and a rich one at that thanks to Mr Cowell plucking him from oblivion, with regards to his beloved Ar$enal he just seems to alternate weekly between polar positions on Wenger, and just makes himself look a cock.

I don't like Morgan. I agree that he's a tw&t. But Cowell plucking him from oblivion??? Morgan has had an exceptionally good career for someone who has talent, but considering what a tw&t he is it's pretty clear he sold his soul to the devil at a very young age.

Don't get me wrong, Editor of the Mirror at that age is amazing, I meant more or of a post Mirror wilderness, I know he'd done a couple of books, but didn't seem to be up to much else.

Clarkson had the right idea, just smack the lover.

I don't actually get what his supposed 'talent' is, or was, which has reulted in him becoming as famous and as rich as he presently is??

Some might say his journalism work, which was gossip column nonsense at best, or his resulting promotion to editor at a young age, but as being proved in the Leveson enquiry, being a newspaper editor doesn't neccesarily involve having any talent or brains....From his own evidence, Morgan just appeared to sit there, totally unaware of anything going on around him...
