Watched the EFL cup tie between Spurs and Chelsea tonight. Very exciting end on penalties. That is the good news. It was broadcast on 4 yes 4 Sky Sports Channels and every single one had fake crowd noise. The constant background Muzak of Come on you Spurs and When the Spurs go marching in practically caused me to have an apoplectic fit. When we add in taking the knee and the raised arm salutes (the point has been made-do you think we are so thick we need to get this every match?) together with the long running Brian Rix West End farce “Sorry Vicar is my VAR showing” what kind of game do we have left. My father took me to watch real football. This current version is a game show hosted by Ted Rogers with the match decisions taken by Dusty Bin.
