Great comment piece on last night's debacle

"Given the sheer volume of football on television, there are times when cutting away to a random televisual delight might be no bad thing. Perhaps Del Boy falling through the bar to enliven a tedious 0-0 draw, or a heart warming excerpt from one of David Attenborough's finest to remind us of the beauty of the planet as another team parks the bus at the Emirates. Yet ITV's mistakes, put down to bad luck but as much down to bad judgment, seem to be becoming habit forming. And as any good student of managerial post-match cliche will tell you, you make your own luck."

ITV: complete football fail

I'm just glad I wasn't a Liverpool or Everton fan. Imaging if they'd done that during the Champions League final in Moscow!

My new favourite fail

See, you should always make sure you can go through a gap - before you actually go through it.
