Spurs Boss Harry Redknapp Threatens To Pop Off With Poppy Day Rage
HARRY Redknapp, the recuperating Spurs manger, has waded into the poppy debate. England will go into their match with Spain not sporting ironed-on poppies on their shirts, rather wearing red poppies on black armbands (see Nazi regalia).
This goes with the minute’s silence, poppy-embossed “anthem jacket”, the wreath on the pitch, free tickets for troops and advertisements for the Royal British Legion.
Over to Redknapp in the Sun:
It just sounds like FIFA are being picky to me now. And it’s frightening when you have people like that running the game. Remembrance Sunday runs deep into the heritage of this great country. Go back and look at how football crowds up and down Britain observed a minute’s silence for our dead soldiers last weekend.

Straight Welsh Rugby Player Wakes Up Gay: Chris Birch Is A Hairdresser
WELSH rugby player Chris Birch, 26, broke his neck when he attempted a back flip. His injury triggered a stroke. When he awoke he felt changed. He work feeling gay.
As he says:
“I was gay when I woke up and I still am. It sounds strange but when I came round I immediately felt different. I wasn’t interested in women any more. I had never been attracted to a man before – I’d never even had any gay friends. But I didn’t care about who I was before, I had to be true to my feelings.”
He’d just been another rugged man who enjoyed playing rugby.

Did Anatoly Moskvin Have Sex WIth The Corpses He Met In His Coffin? Photos
TIME for an update on the life of Anatoly Moskvin, the Russian who took 29 dead girls home to meet his mama. Police found the corpses dressed up in his family home.
The BBC reports:
In a 2007 interview with the newspaper Nizhegorodsky Rabochy, Mr Moskvin said he had begun wandering through cemeteries when still a schoolboy. He claimed to have inspected 752 cemeteries across the region from 2005 to 2007, often walking up to 30km (20 miles) a day.
He said he had drunk from puddles, spent nights in haystacks or at abandoned farms and had once even slept in a coffin readied for a funeral.

Michael Jackson’s Reckless Death Is Pinned On Conrad Murray: Who’s Really Bad?
SO, Michael Jackson’s personal ‘feelgood doctor’, Conrad Murray, has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter. This apparently provides closure for those who have tried to make sense of the pop icon’s death in June 2009. Because for many, the idea that Jackson died a tragic, accidental death as a troubled star who was under a lot of pressure, that he was simply an afflicted man who finally dug too deep into the medicine cabinet, apparently just won’t do.
The six-week trial didn’t only lay bare intimate details of MJ’s life and death, beginning with the distribution of gruesome images of his body in a hospital gurney and a photo of his naked body at the autopsy – it also revealed that, today, the idea that tragedy sometimes strikes, for little explicable reason, has limited traction.
Image: Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya Jackson leaves the Criminal Justice Center, Monday, Nov. 7, 2011, in Los Angeles, after it was announced that Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael Jackson’s physician when the pop star died in 2009, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

Fabio Capello To Be Paid By The Joke: England Fans Get Laughometer (Oliver Holt Roasts Steve Howard)
QPR manger Neil Warnock might be the next England manger. He’s talking with the Sun’s Steven Howard:
AFTER the shame-faced retreat from South Africa, England fans were united on one thing. Fabio Capello’s team was a joke.
Except there was nothing vaguely amusing about it. Certainly, the England players looked as if they hadn’t had a decent laugh in the entire six weeks they had been together.
In fact, make that the two years they had endured under their Italian sergeant major.
Or as Oliver Holt put it way back on October:
There is something altogether more relaxed and informal about the England manager these days. Gone is the stern, suspicious autocrat who ruled so severely and joylessly in South Africa.
Might it be that Howard has a point to make and facts should be intrude?
Had someone had the temerity to attempt a joke, their faces would have shattered. But now it’s time to replace that deathly rictus grin.
Of which Holt says:
Laughs are de rigeur now with England.

James Murdoch’s ‘Neville’ Email, Tom Crone’s Letter And Who Trained Derek Webb To Spy So Well?
THE News of The World is back. (No, not to report on Jimmy Savile’s life and loves. More’s the pity.) The pressure is building on James Murdoch.
The latest story centres on a private detective doing surveillance work as asked.
Derek Webb, a former police detective, says he was paid to follow high-profile people and their families, like Prince William, former attorney general Lord Goldsmith, Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe’s parents, Boris Johnson, Angelina Jolie, Simon Cowell, Sir Paul McCartney, Charles Kennedy, David Miliband, Elle MacPherson, Heather Mills and Gary Lineker.
Says Webb on the BBC’s Newsnight show:
“I was working for them extensively on many jobs throughout that time. I never knew when I was going to be required. They phone me up by the day or by the night … it could be anywhere in the country.”

Chelsea Captain John Terry’s Race Row: Ian Wright Gives A Masterclass In Stupidity
JOHN Terry Race Row: Today former Arsenal player Ian Wright wants to share his thoughts on The Chelsea and England captain.
It’s the Sun’s lead football story:
“JT shouldn’t be anywhere near England squad”
I understand the fact you’re innocent until proven guilty but that doesn’t mean the captain of our country’s football team should be involved in two friendlies while being investigated over allegations of making racist remarks.
Does Wright understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty? The police are investigating. The FA was investigating but when the police stepped in it had to stop.
The FA have made a total mess of this.

Carlos The Jackal Snarls Again Claiming 2,000 Kills – Stands Alone On Murder Charges
CARLOS the Jackal, once one of the world’s most feared assassins and at the top of a lot of “Kill On Sight” lists is back on trial for murder in France today.
It came as a bit of a shocker to discover Venezuelan-born Ilitch Ramírez Sánchez, now 62-years-old, was still alive and snarling. He has been in captivity so long he had slipped off the radar. It’s one of those “It can’t Be!” moments when you rack the memory banks to recall which security service finished the murdering swine…the Israelis? French, Germans?
Answer? None of them. He belongs to the pre-Al-Qaeda terrorist set and actually got an arrest and fair trial. The arrest was security agent snatch rather than the now usual special forces double tap containment.

David Hasselhoff And Katy Perry Star In The Photo Of The Year: MTV Awards Face Off (Literally)
WHEN David Hasselhoff eyeballed Jesus stumpet Katy Perry at the MTV Europe Music Awards, cameras clicked. Hasselhoff, a man famed for slow-mo running, taking orders from a snarky car that lived in a mute truck and helping to decide what the Queen must spend three minutes of her life watching, looked like he was having his face tied on by a dwarf sat on a goat with wayward horns. Unless that is The Hoff’s new expression fixe, in which case we commend his efforts in what has become a tired area of human evolution…

Justin Bieber Wears No Pull Ups In A Display Of Moist Love For Selena Gomez: Photos
ALL eyes on Selena Gomez, china doll-headed sex interest in Justin Bieber’s life, at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast. Well, before Mariah Yeater claimed she parted Bieber’s fringe (now an official euphemism) and popped out his love child, Gomez was the only woman linked to the perky star.
She was hosting the event at which Bieber was performing. Would the lovebirds put on a show of unity for the cameras? Would Justin dry hump and grope Selena without his no-leak pull ups and prove the 30-seconds allegations wrong? Would Selena come dressed a crocheted toilet roll cover?
