To Steven Gerrard, for this comment about Young Theo’s inclusion in the World Cup squad:

Walcott had no right to be in Germany. None at all. I was gobsmacked to find him on the plane.

Instead of running his mouth, Gerrard should concentrate on what he does best, like getting substituted in the Merseyside derby, begging referees to hand out cards to his opponents, missing sitters in England’s Euro qualifying campaign, and choking in a World Cup quarterfinal shootout.

I’m not a big believer in bulletin board material, but I imagine Young Theo will have read that quote by the time next Sunday rolls around.

Arsenal defender Pascal Cygan is concerned that Patrick Vieira’s Highbury exit will be followed by that of Thierry Henry.

“I can foresee the possibility of Thierry leaving as a result of Patrick’s departure,” he told The Sun.

“I have heard people say that boss Arsene Wenger wants to sign two international class players.

“But if it means losing Pat for him, what the hell is the point?

“Patrick will leave behind a huge gap and I don’t see who will be able to replace him. The training ground will be a sad place without him.”

Is this really helpful?? What good have you ever done for this club Cygan? You’re a walking disaster.

You’re barely a reserve player now, but you just hang around to pick up your wages every week. Most players in your shoes would be begging to leave; so do something useful and be like them.

Ed. Note – This has the potential to be a really fun show. Or the worst 30 minutes in television history. Either way, I’ll certainly be tuning in for the first show…

Those of you who tune into Nick Geiber and Steven Cohen on Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings on the radio to hear their views on football or in Steven’s case why Chelsea are inferior to the unbeatable Arsenal will now be able to see this dynamic duo on Fox Sports World from Friday 4th August on a weekly basis as they will be hosting “Fox Football Friday”.
