The Pieman's Blog for Thursday, 27 November



The late great Alan Ball started it with white boots. Now Arsenal's mid-week scoring hero Nicklas Bendtner wears pink boots. What's his game? Does he want an audition to be a Pie Girl? What do you think? The 20 year old Dane has wanted pink boots since he was a kid. I think it was since he was a kid, not 20 months! He doesn't think his teammates will follow suit! Would you wear pink boots, duckie! The only pink the Pieman likes is pink champagne. Pink boots! It’s like the Pieman drinking pink beer!

Chelsea's Frank Lampard sent off for two yellows. Not the sort of player the Pieman associates with Red Cards. He is a proper pro. The Pieman respects Frank. I hope you do, too......Hats off to Steven Gerrard, Liverpool's inspirational skipper and mid-week match-winner. Some nutter throws something at him. In fact, several nutters throw several things at him. He just ignores it. Easier said than done but the right thing to do. It’s dangerous and CCTV needs to punish the throwers. If they were French they should still be dealt with by our courts.

Gerrard's classy response is a sharp contrast to Chelsea's Didier Drogba who recently threw a lighter back at the Burnley fan who hurled it on the Stamford Bridge pitch. Sympathy for Drogba but you must not re-act!..........So Arsenal's manager Arsene Wenger thinks there is a witchhunt by the media against his ex-captain William Gallas? Rubbish. What did the media have to do with the Gallas sulky sit-down on the Birmingham pitch? They didn't prompt Gallas to slag off his team-mates in public and they did not strip him of the Arsenal captaincy and drop him for the next match. It was YOU, Arsene, who did the latter. The Pieman loves Arsene and usually defends him but the spinning that goes on by managers in football does the Pieman's head in! There are more deflections off the pitch than those shots by his defenders on their way into goal!.....
