Congratualtions to Brian Laws, manager of the month barely two months after everyone wanted rid...

With the managerial merry-go-round at an all time high, with managers swapping clubs like kids with Panini stickers, it was nice to see Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws awarded Championship manager of the month for November.

After losing their first six games of the season, Wednesday were rock bottom of the league and many were calling for Laws’ unfeasibly large head. But the Owls’ board stuck with him and now they’ve climbed to 14th following a six match unbeaten run that included a 5-0 thrashing of Southampton. So to all those clubs sacking their managers left right and centre, the message is, loyalty pays.*

*Steve McClaren and the FA excluded. Of course.

Jose for England! Why? Because we're sick of the ugliest men in football managing the national side...

So Harry is unlikely to be the new England boss. Which, if nothing else, will stop the recent trend of having desperately ugly England managers. We had Sven, who looked like a cross between one of the aliens out of Mars Attacks and a Walnut Whip, followed by the aesthetically-challenged Steve McClaren, whose smile could quite easily take the honours at any Texan gurning championship.

So at least by not appointing Redknapp, who resembles the insides of a gutted fish, it will stop the rot. The campaign starts here: Barwick, we want a national manager who doesn’t make us wince during an interview. Then again what would he know, with that Ron Jeremy tache and all…

There have been many goals worthy of 'Right in the Catflap' status. Gazzas against Arsenal in 91' was a bit of a corker wasn't it?

#1 – One of those constantly arsey tannoy operators at London Tube stations. "Step away from the oncoming train…mind the closing doors… please mind the closing doors….DID YEE NO HEAR ME LADDY?! I SAID MIND THE @~#$%*< DOORS!"
 
#2 – Chef. Ramsay would cower like a mouse in comparison…
 
#3 – New judge on X Factor. Because we wouldn't have to endure a whole series of the thing. Billy would have told them all where to go in episode one.
 
#4 – Model for moisturising wrinkle cream. Those baggy eyes won't solve themselves. He might as well join forces with Alan Curbishley too.
 
#5 – Shove him in the Australian Outback to fend for himself. No, not on set with the celebs, just as far into the jungle as possible.
 
#6 – BBC interviewer. So that they can replace one gibbering dwarf with another when Garth Crooks fancies a night off.
 
#7 – Begbie's older, meaner brother in a Trainspotting sequel.

#8 - New Scotland manager. Yawn.

Why haven't they changed the name of Bombay Mix to Mumbai mix?

What's the worst ad out there at the moment? a) The pikey Morrisons one with Lulu and Nick Hancock (Nick Hancock???) b) The Asda ones with any two bit old celeb who needs the cash, the latest being Julie Walters c) The Post Office one with Westlife buying broadband. The eejits. Tell us now. We need to know.

Ron Atkinson makes some terrible remarks about Marcel Desailly and rightly gets the sack by ITV. David 'Slow Car' Pleat, once cautioned for kerb-crawling, continues to get work. And he's not even that good. Tonight, he described Abel's corking strike for Sporting Lisbon against Man Utd as a "mishit".
