Some sort of a Cundy

Neil Warnock’s nickname among the football fraternity is ‘Colin’. That’s because if you take all the letters of ‘Colin’ from his actual name, you’re left with ‘wanker’, which is what most people think he is. Hopefully, Jason Cundy’s middle name begins with ‘T’. Then we can all adopt a similar approach by referring to him as ‘Jasondy’ from now on.

Cundy played for Spurs and Chelsea, openly supports Chelsea and worked on Chelsea TV as a presenter, so I can accept he dislikes Arsenal. And, of course, he works on TalkShite, where the policy is to slate Arsenal as much as possible to get the expensive phone lines ringing. So it’s a given he will be about as praising of us as the National Union of Hookers is of the Crossbow Killer.

However, a look through TalkShite’s review of the year, which is focusing on a different ‘moment of the year’ each day, from each of its presenters and pundits, reveals that if he was a schoolkid and Arsenal were a girl, everyone would think he fancies her because he can’t stop picking on her.

The review has been running for three days. Day one featured the presenters’ game of the year. While Ian ‘Moose’ Abrahams chose Dagenham & Redbridge v Rotherham in the League Two play-off final, and the usually idiotic Adrian Durham gave the measured response of Arsenal 2-2 Barcelona “because it showed quality from Barca, spirit from Arsenal, and Theo Walcott showing what he’s capable of", Cundy picked Arsenal v Tottenham. That’s not unreasonable. On its own, at least.

But to then follow it up with Lionel Messi’s entire hat-trick in the goal (not three goals) of the year, followed by “Arsenal qualifying for this season’s Champions League” as his ‘biggest cock up of the year’, Cundy has shown he is, well, a complete Cundy.

In light of this, I’m carrying out my own review of the year, starting with the following category:
