			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JOE COLE</p>
<p>Liverpool fans making their new signing feel at home:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;He&#8217;s small, he&#8217;s red, he&#8217;s got an outsize head. Joey Cole, Joey Cole.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Chelsea fans response:</p>
<p><em> &#8220;He&#8217;s rich, they&#8217;re Scouse, they&#8217;re going to rob his house. Joey Cole, Joey Cole.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>ASHLEY COLE</p>
<p>Ashley Cole is one of the most hated footballers in Britain, and has a whole catalogue of chants aimed at him by fans all over the country for being a money grabbing, disloyal, cheating, moaner. This is perhaps pick of the bunch though, with a hint about his sexuality whilst still managing to mention his wife. Nice.</p>
<p>“Ashley Cole is a rent boy, his mobiles always on, and when he’s shagging Cheryl, he thinks of Elton John”</p>
<p>PETER CROUCH when at LIverpool</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s Big&#8221;<br />
&#8220;He&#8217;s Red&#8221;<br />
&#8220;His feet stick out of bed &#8230;<br />

he&#8217;ll take your nan to bed<br />
wayne rooney! wayne rooney!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>OLDHAM fans</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">It contains some real gems, such as this effort from <strong>Oldham</strong> fans:</p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>Give us a T. Give us an I.</em></p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>Give us a T. Give us an S.</em></p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>What do you do with &#8216;em?</em></p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>&#8216;Old&#8217;em! &#8216;Old&#8217;em!</em></p>

</em></p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><strong>Chelsea</strong> fans mocking Turkish side <strong>Galatasaray:</strong></p>
<p style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1em; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><em>You&#8217;re shish. And you know you are. You&#8217;re shish . . .</em></p>

<p><strong>Maradona after Argentina qualified for the finals in South Africa, after looking like they would not make it&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;To those who did not believe: now suck my d**k &#8211; I&#8217;m sorry ladies for my words &#8211; and keep on sucking it. I am either white or black. I will never be grey in my life. You treated me as you did. Now keep on sucking d**ks. I am grateful to my players and to the Argentinian people. I thank no one but them. The rest, keep on sucking d**ks.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>On watching former club Boca Juniors&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>“I feel like my chest burns. It’s like sleeping with Julia Roberts.”</p>
<p><strong>On playing for Argentina&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When I wear the national team shirt, its sole contact with my skin makes it stand on an end.&#8221;</p>

<p>“It was the hand of God.”</p>

<p>&#8220;Maradona is our maximum term of reference. No one embodies our essence better. No one bears our emblem more nobly. To no other, in the last twenty years, have we offered up so much passion. Argentina is Maradona, Maradona is Argentina.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lyn Truss on The Open 2009</p>
<p>The exceptional attraction of golf, I always say, is that it’s a competitive game that turns on the unforced errors of the individual players.</p>
<p>In other sports, you see, a player has to contend with other players tackling them and taking the ball off their feet, bowling tricky balls to them with unreadable spin, returning their serve at 100mph down the line or attempting to hit them extremely hard on the side of the head.</p>
<p>But in golf, a chap has to face the yawning existential horror of personal accountability. There is nowhere to hide; no one else to blame. By rights, therefore, the golfer should be the deepest thinker and the finest spirit of the entire sporting world. Every day he is forced to face such uncomfortable truths about his own shortcomings. Which is why it is always so entertaining to discover that professional golfers have the spiritual sophistication of spermatozoa and the mental capacity of gnats.</p>
