A week of funny phone calls...

Who would have thought a phone call could have had such a tremendous impact on the country this week?

I mean, the one Daniel Levy made to Harry Redknapp has worked wonders.

Fortunes can turn on such decisions as to dial the right number, as can the careers of our best loved entertainers.

The furore that has followed Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross around this week has been ludicrous.

I know it’s not football but they might as well as have rounded old Manuel’s granddaughter up in a hotel and given her an old fashioned footballers roasting for the conjecture they’ve received during the last seven days.

What annoyed me about the whole incident was the fact some thirty thousand people took it upon themselves to get upset on someone else’s behalf when their perfectly capable of dealing with the situation.

Andrew Sach’s said he dealt with what happened and was happy with the outcome but his opinion wasn’t respected by the P.C brigade who treated him like a doddering, old senile fool simply because he wasn’t baying for blood or wanting heads to roll.

I could understand if all these people were offended by listening to the programme, but very few did, shown by the two complaints the show received following transmission.

It’s funny what people will do when an “idiot’s guide” to complaining is printed in a national newspaper.

The Nazi like indoctrination and oppression of thought carried out by The Daily Mail this week has painted a sad picture for the future of the written press in this country.

Still, I wonder where they got idea from?

Anyway back to the football and one of those other phone calls.

Juande Ramos and “Changing Rooms” Comolli have been sacked by Spurs leaving ‘Arry Redknapp with a blank canvas to weave his magic brush.

An instant impact with victory over Bolton was followed by a miraculous comeback to draw four all against Arsenal.

Spurs fans are probably already fantasising about a push for the top four.

But good luck to ‘Arry as he deserves the chance to manage a big club and big players.

The third funny phone call this week has seen the biggest player on the planet return as Diego Maradona will be putting his God hand to good use filling in team sheets, writing tactics and directing instructions as Argentina’s new national team coach.

Clean of the booze and drugs can El Diego turn Argentina back into world beaters?

Quite possibly.

Although for our sakes lets hope he doesn’t hire a goalkeeping coach to train the outfield players…
