I don’t think they can afford to wait. There is absolutely no evidence that Tudor has had any positive impact whatsoever, with many observers suggesting he has actually made things worse. If Spurs lose the next two league games I think their fate is pretty much sealed. If his demeanour around...

Don’t ever go to Port Vale on a wet Wednesday. I went there many moons ago with a mate who was a Sheffield United fan. Worst game of football and my half time pie was fresh air and gravy. No meat to be seen.

Chances of an all English final in the Champion’s League looking a lot slimmer after those first legs.

His is a name which keeps being brought up. He’s 79 years of age and last managed in the Premier League fourteen years ago. It would be like Ferguson being appointed when Amorim was sacked. And that was never going to happen.

I used a Spurk for the first time at the weekend and, I won’t lie, I hated it. I’d rather not play golf in the winter than be compelled to use one again.

I’m adopting the sadist approach.

Kinsky should never, ever have been exposed to what happened to him this evening. Terrible management.

Any chance Tudor could be sacked at half time? Dropping your keeper, watching his replacement have an absolute shocker, and then hooking him at 3-0 down after fifteen minutes has to be the worst management I have seen in many, many years. In a quarter of an hour the manager may just have...

I have them to win 2-0 in my Super 6. Beginning to regret that already.

It does seem rather odd to be watching a Champion’s League game thinking the away team absolutely has to get a result this evening, because they haven’t a hope of getting one at home in the return leg. Yes, I’m watching Spurs.

That’s by some distance the funniest back peddle I’ve seen here in months.

On the contrary. I think if I was being forced to listen to Westlife I would be picking up the heaviest thing I could find and throwing it at the culprit.

Second irritation of the day. I’m getting grumpy. TV dramas, the producers of which seem intent on ruining by having constant background music which drowns out the dialogue.

Whilst I’m not suggesting it is your view, there does nevertheless seem to be a widely held belief that prisons are some sort of holiday camp. I spent some time managing a team of police officers who investigated crime which happened in prison establishments, and when I was setting that team...

The biggest argument against capital punishment has to be the comparable murder rates of the USA and UK. The former has a per capita murder rate of nearly five times the UK, despite a significant number of states having the death penalty. It’s hard, on that basis, to argue that the death...
