No. 26a, Bad Boy Barton is back in court.
This from yesterday's paper:
"Former footballer Joey Barton pushed his wife to the floor before kicking her in the head during a drunken row at the family home.....
the arguing had started after Barton threatened to fight his wife's brother and father, Westminster Magistrates Court heard."
What a charmer - not! We're well rid of him.

19a, Harry Redknapp again.
He's booked to give talks on a luxury cruise.
Saw an ad in the paper, "Join Michael Ball & football legend Harry Redknapp on board
Sky Princess for a star-studded cruise......hear enriching talks from Harry Redknapp about his FA Cup-winning career."
Enriching's the word.....readies in a brown envelope & not a word to the taxman - Sandra!!
Hope the boat hits an iceberg.

No. 31, ex-player Rio Ferdinand.
Rio often features in Private Eye's "Commentatorballs," where people in the media
are reported for saying something daft. He's in the latest issue with this gem:
"In order for them to be together, there has to be a togetherness."
er, right........

No. 26c, J*ey B*rton has been at it again, making snide remarks about the whole tournament.
And on the good side, No. 34 Ned Onuoha did some nice half-time commentary.
