Bridge to nowhere. Get it? Wayne Bridge? It's funny 'cause he's awful...
1) West Ham Bad Decision #1: There’s a prevalent theory that Wayne Bridge is terrible when playing on good teams… but great when he plays on mediocre team. That theory was rubbished on Saturday. Best 90-thousand pounds/week they ever spent…
2) West Ham Bad Decision #2: The Hammers were going to hire Martin O’Neill behind Avram Grant’s back, before they fired the Israeli manager. But they mucked it up, O’Neill gave them the V, and now Grant will likely stay put knowing his bosses tried to turf him. Awwwwkward.
3) Blackburn are thinking of dumping El-Hadji Diouf, because they realized what Liverpool, Sunderland and Bolton also found out the hard way… he’s a liability.
Dude, where's my team?
4) Speaking of model citizens, Derby County captain Robbie Savage could be on his way to the MLS. Savage has twittered that he has been requested by the Vancouver Whitecaps. Huh. A long-haired loud-mouth with an accent. In British Columbia. How novel…

6) Liverpool is reportedly chasing Uruguay’s Luiz Suarez from Ajax. I can only assume they want him as a backup to Pepe Reina…
7) Win, Lose or Draw. Or Draw. Or Draw. Or Draw. No honours in the Birmingham, Merseyside or Tyne-and-Wear derbies… and the “classic” match between Spurs and United wasn’t…
8 ) Crystal Palace are looking to move stadiums. They might want to hang on until after the Olympics when White Hart Lane becomes available. Or not. North is South, East is West, cats and dogs living together…
The Qataris celebrated by ordering shots
9) Qatar has refused to schedule the 2022 World Cup during winter. FIFA officials are aghast, wondering how players and fans will cope in 53 degree Celsius heat, and may be secretly rueing their decision to let the sheikhs host the event. I suspect it’s an Arab plot to sell more $20 pints of near-beer at matches…
10) For the first pick in the MLS Super Draft, Toronto FC picked a kid with multiple sclerosis. What the… ?!? If this was a move to guilt me into going back into the gym: mission accomplished. Thanks for nothin’…
