Gary Lineker may himself exude a certain charm-free smugness but next to the high king of smug gobshitery that is Piers Morgan, the Match Of The Day host is a crisp-promoting little sweetie bum.

I distinctly hope that someone in the club's marketing department was flogged with barbed wire until the first light of dawn for this grave dereliction of duty.

As we've gradually found out over the past week-and-a-half, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp takes his tax advice from a magical hobgoblin that lives in his biscuit tin. What we also now know is that, instead of his labrynthine scouting network at Spurs, he seems to rely on Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand when it comes to the final word on his signings.

"Go on, touch it. I've put the safety on."Football on a Friday night? It's just not cricket. Perhaps that was the reason for Tottenham's utterly distasteful performance at Vicarage Road as they scraped past a plucky Watford. If you were to believe the general theme of the commentary and post-match media reports, you'd be forgiven for thinking Spurs arrived in north west London, rudely parked their giant team coach wherever they chose, shaped to headbutt anyone and everyone on their way in and spend the entire game cheating and coercing the ref into allowing them victory.
