I’m back, a bit earlier than usual this week, to bring you my take on the latest news and gossip in the football world. When I’m not WAG-ing, doctoring or watching football I’m a bit of a keen exerciser (as those of you who follow me on twitter will know – I need to keep in shape sweeties, those Chanel dresses won’t look good on the hanger!) and often I like to tie in my running with music. Music to suit the mood. So this week I have a music & football tie in article for you – the perfect songs for recent football stories… And I’m not going to be so obvious as to mention the stunning Michael Jackson statue that was unveiled this weekend at Craven Cottage, although I do wonder whether it has the ability to spin round and play a tune, as it certainly looks like it should do…
Now that’s what I call music…
3. Price Tag, Jessie J.
Ian Holloway, a man known for his passion and slightly off-beat rants after games, made Dr Sparkles top three this week after some comments that he made as his orange-clad Blackpool side went down 3-0 to Fulham (the thanks, in part at least, to a fantastic return by Bobby Zamora). His comments after the game, although in no way outlandish, were all about the money…
"The quality that the other people have got, the money that they are paying is quite frightening,"
Dr Sparkles believes that Holloway, just like Jessie J, knows that it isn’t all about the money, money, money and his insightful following comment confirms this:
"It's not very nice when you reflect on the goals we have let in. You can have the ball and pass it around but it is all about putting it in the white thing at one end and not letting it in the white thing at your end. Unfortunately we didn't do that very well at Fulham."
Once again the ex-Bristol Rovers legend makes his point as only he can. As this comment about Cristiano Ronaldo proves, the man is all about saying it like it is. Even when it comes to hamster cock…
“He’s six foot something, fit as a flea, good looking – he’s got to have something wrong with him. Hopefully he’s hung like a hamster – That would make us all feel better. Having said that, me missus has got a pet hamster at home, and his cock’s massive.”
2. Killing In The Name Of, Rage Against The Machine.

The Wayne Rooney debacle runs on and on across the media this week, and as Guillem Balague succinctly pointed out on his twitter on Sunday, it’s almost as if no other football was played at all. For those of you who wonder what the fuss was all about the video below shows the incident in its full glory:
It would seem that Mr Rooney really won’t do what they tell them, presumably all ‘they’ want is for him to come across as a polite English gentleman as opposed looking like a thug who thinks that the camera man looked at his girlfriend the wrong way after a drunken night out at The Sugar Lounge.
Dr Sparkles believes that the media has overdone the analysis on this small incident, although the many pundits talk of ‘passion’ does ignore the fact that Wayne had already celebrated his goal before he decided to get all gobby with the camera, so maybe it was a little less about passion and a little more about him just being a special-edition Mr Angry Potato Head…

1. Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough, Michael Jackson
This week’s number one football/music appropriate matching goes to Norwich City, who managed to score 6 against Scunthorpe at Carrow Road. This song has a double whammy meaning for the team as not only was it a great score-line, but 2 of the players didn’t stop until they had a hat-trick – namely Holt and Jackson. And, hold on a minute, isn’t this song sung by a Mr Jackson too? Seamless links everywhere…
3, it’s a magic number…
Dr Sparkles does enjoy a high-scoring game and was overjoyed to hear about the Norwich score, in particular the Holt/Jackson hat-trick. It does beg the question though, who kept the match ball? Answers on a postcard…
