http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/sep/20/justin-fashanu-problems-gay-sport?CMP=twt_gu Decent enough summary, I think - putting Fashanu up there as some kind of poster boy for gay sportsmen is obviously excessive, but you'd like to think he'd have got a fairer deal nowadays, with most coaches being more enlightened than the likes of Clough and society having generally moved on a bit, even to the extent of relatively minor stuff like there being a pro-gay equality song in the top 10 (that's the top 10 of the hit parade, pop pickers!). I find it hard to disagree with the reader comment about agents rather than fans being the real sticking point, for all there's no concrete evidence to back it up - yes, an out gay footballer would get stick from the stands, but fans will always find something to focus on if they think they can unsettle an opposition player. You won't make it as a professional footballer without a thick skin, whoever/whatever you are. And it's not as if Brighton do any worse for the constant away-fan contributions of "Does your boyfriend know you're here?" and similar. But tell an agent that their protégé is about to make his merchandise supposedly unwearable on the street or the playground....

I pretty much jinxed Mainz, then. Also, for all it wasn't in the Bundesliga, crikey.

I know actual people - some of them with largely functional brains - who intend to vote UKIP next time round. It's amazing.

Uh-oh - I've got the espresso part of my hefty old Krups coffee machine working again. This will totally turn me into the kind of person who grinds his own coffee beans*. *not a euphemism, though I also masturbate

Awesome, eh.

...have you opened up a café?

I refuse to tolerate this hypocrisy. And I'm not even over 35.

I'm more of an AFC Twinkledon man, as Leazes will tell show you.

Well-formed bread products.

Read the Garrincha one and Pyramid too. I'll add these to the mix:

We really need a bot that automatically posts http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Vomit_on_plate.jpg every two pages or so. It'll save CT the bother.

Bizarre love triangle with Matt Taylor of Portsmouth, if you believed the rumours at the time.

That's gotta hurt

The term "backhanded compliment" has just been comprehensively redefined.

In case CT breaks in. It's like leaving cookies and milk out for Santa.

Ronaldo is a cock, obviously, but flawed people are the interesting ones.

:panic:

You massive fanny.
