Matthew Syed is a boss. Absolutely destroyed Tony Cascarino on the issue.

That's not quite fair. Cascarino was invited on to discuss the impact of Abramovich over the last ten years, so he came on with stories about that, how the club has changed and so on. Syed came on with an agenda to espouse the means being ragged as fuck. That's why you have three people on completely the wrong wavelength with another, because no one came prepared for that. A lot of what Syed is saying is true and I think it's good he did so, but trying to frame it as a destruction of Cascarino is wrong. It's a kick in the face to Sky who thought it would be a a good idea to invite a features writer on board to discuss the merits of an oligarch.

Cascarino had absolutely no idea where the money had come from, and anything about Abrahmovich whatsoever, he was the physical embodiment of football culture's complacency about the issues that Syed raised.

The issue was about Roman's impact on football in the last ten years though. Syed was a cunt for no reason and he shouldn't be called on again after making a mockery of it on the wrong platform.

His impact was mentioned, as he explained that Abrahimovic has caused transfer inflation, massive debt of illegitimately-gained wealth to be moved into commercial assets and that he is only good if you are a Chelsea fan.

Your making it seem as though the topic du jour was Syed's, it wasn't. It's like having a Masterchef winner and Gordon Ramsay on to talk about the impact of Chinese cuisine on English cooking, only for Ramsay to run off on a diatribe about how appalling shark fin soup is.

That's exactly the sort of ridiculous, swingeing statement that KM's all about.

Except I like Abrahmovich. His oily fingers keep many clubs running when he hands over that ill gotten money... I'm just not as smug or self important as Jaygull tries to make himself out to be

It's called a hyperbolic metaphor, it wasn't a statement of fact.

I don't think he'll do that badly.

I reckon they'll be safely around mid table.
