So, Wayne Bridge has decided that he cannot play alongside a man who stole his girlfriend away from him, forced him out of the club he was happy at, and still managed to maintain his relationship with his wife, and his place in the national team. Despite Fabio Capello insisting otherwise, it is not a surprise to me. Throughout this whole, tawdry, and, rather predictably for overpaid superstar Premier League players these days, entirely predictable, Bridge has been an absolute gentleman.
It’s been a while since my last missive, but I have an excuse: I was busy getting married! While I was otherwise engaged (geddit!) the football season has slowly sputtered to life after many weeks of snowbound frustration. Chelsea have wrestled some kind of lead at the top of the Premier League, while (as I predicted) both Newcastle and Leeds have managed to let slip seemingly unassailable leads at the top of the Championship and League One.
