As if I didn't love Rachel Riley enough...tweeting that Spurs bottled it. Twitter Spurs fans in meltdown....brilliant.

She's still a massive glory-hunting dickhead.

Would though, obviously.

They've won 9 of their last 10 league games, and since losing at Old Trafford 11th Dec their league record is W15 D2 L2. Not much of a bottle job.

There's a game being shown on Sky now, Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Hamilton.  Worth watching for (a) the beautiful view of the sea and hills in the background and (b) the foul language being shouted from the gaggle of spectators

I don't get the 'bottling' thing with Spurs. They've done a good job of ensuring Chelsea didn't have it won weeks ago.

Indeed. It seems the way now is that a team wins a dozen games in a row, then fails to win the thirteenth, they're called bottlers.

"Bottlers" should be reserved for teams who are in a seemingly unassailable position but somehow fuck it up.

Clyde one up at half time. Need a draw to guarantee survival. Shame it was the rapist that scored but you can't have everything.

I drove past the Inverness CT ground on Thursday evening on my way back home from a three week tour of Scotland and the Western Isles. Tiny ground in a great spot .

Swans 1 up, Ayew looking lively. Great cross for the goal.

I'm currently watching Hartlepool attempting to claw their way out of the relegation zone after coming from behind to lead Doncaster 2-1 with five minutes to play plus stoppages.  Still a long way to go.
