The coveted Random Comparison of the Season award looks set to remain in the Kamara household for another year after this appraisal of Carlos Tevez:
“They’ve got this man with a heart as big as…as big as… a plate.”
GOT TO START SOMEWHERE
With his shrewd, calculating mind, Setanta new boy Russell Osman has adapted quickly to the demands of co-commentary:
“If Spurs don’t get one goal, they won’t get any.”
A BIT STRONG
It’s abundantly clear what Sky makes of Arsenal.
Andy Gray on Fabregas: “I thought the little bender was coming there.”
Richard Keys fondly recalls Bobby P: “You might remember that Pires bender.”
ALSUFFRAGETTES NO FOOLS
And this week’s prize of a year’s membership to Portmarnock Golf Club goes to Alan Hansen, the bravest pundit in MOTD history:
“Gabby, even you can understand that.”
MONEY TALKS
With the economy in the mess it’s in, surely Cowen, Lenihan and co have missed a trick not getting Tony Cascarino involved as a spokesman:
“I’m not sure about the financial strings at United.”
WHEN THE FEELING’S GONE
Dean Ashton’s enforced retirement caused a drastic malfunction of Alan Shearer’s onboard thesaurus:
“It’s a tragic tragedy for him.”
PURE VILLA
But sometimes, as Shearer knows, it’s enough to just be yourself:
“Man United weren’t at their best but they came up against a very, very Aston Villa side.”
FAR-FETCHED
It’s a long shot, but Ray Houghton has a theory why Rafa might have been slow to let Aquilani loose on the Premier League:
“Maybe he’s seen him in training Bill.”
HANDY TASK MASTER
If Razor ever goes into management, he’ll be the most considerate boss ever:
“At the moment, maybe too much is asked of the lad (Aquilani).”
BUNDES-CELTIC LEAGUE
According to Phil Thompson, Jurgen Klinsmann presided over one of the darkest periods in German history:
“How long did he last at Bayern Munich? They were fifth or sixth in the Scottish League.”
HARSH BUT FAIR
It’s not the dodgy crossing, the poor work-rate or the tendency to give the ball away easily that worries Paul Merson about Nani:
“Name me a real top-drawer player who does them back flips.”
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Ray Stubbs tenderly lathered Ugo Ehiogu and Kevin Keegan in aromatic oils during the buildup to United-Villa:
“When you watch Wayne Rooney play, what are the sensations you experience?”
NO SURPRISES
Has the magic died between Tony Cas and Alex Ferguson?
“He ceases to amaze me as a manager.”
ON THE MONEY
Hermann Hreidarsson sees the futility of Portsmouth’s recent form:
“We’ve been playing football, creating chances and not picking up points. That’s pointless.”
MIRROR IMAGE
United’s Da Silva twins continue to fluster Joe Royle:
“He’s got two Rafaels missing.”
