In praise of...James Richardson

nebbie [Edit] [Delete] 20:30, 5 December '07

He's the guy that used to present Football Italia on Channel 4, and now fronts the Guardian's Football weekly podcast, amongst other things.

I was browsing his wiki entry, and there's a sublime list of quotes:

"...as unsung as Posh Spice's back-catalogue."

"Roberto Mancini talks about his title aspirations, which is a comeback as improbable as Leo Sayer's but with a much better record."

"The biggest title challenge since Danny Shittu tried to write his autobiography."

"Chelsea paid a levy for the Shevy but the Shevy went dry"

"It's the last weekend of the season, and not since Guti discovered his girlfriend was a fella have players battled so hard against going down."

"Newly-promoted Sicilian side Catania aren't a bad football team, in much the same way that the Light Brigade probably weren't a bad group of soldiers"

"Liverpool with a score straight out of Posh Spice's diary: 8-nothing."

"Football Weekly, the show that is as badly missed as backpass to Titus Bramble"

If you have not heard the podcast then I thoroughly recommend it for football analysis and a few giggles.
