Billy Harris: a thread of mediocrity

I can't stand it either, but it's rife throughout modern publications, no one cares anymore. If spellcheck doesn't pick it up then it's apparently ok.

I said this on twitter, but good lord..... "Midfielder Ivan Vicelich" really does show how little football he watches

how is he still employed

In the All Whites setup he probably is considered a midfielder

Exactly, he only watches the All Whites so why the hell is he writing about NZ Football as a whole. There's plenty of better answers to that question of course

I would hazard a guess and say that in the case of Billy and Danny, they will feel like football oracles because their opinion is conveyed to the masses... 

 Somehow Billy comes to the conclusion that the venue of a football match is the most important factor in determining the winner.

And then goes on to say that we should be paying $100+ for the playoff game.

I loved the part where he says we should play in Wellington, not Auckland where it would just be for the money (A fair but easy argument), but then goes on to contradict himself by saying everyone should pay a whole lot more to go and watch!

And then he realised he was 300 words short so he just rambled about pointless hypotheticals. Top work!

If what's on Stuff is what's in the paper that's quite simply the worst thing I've seen committed to print in a very long time.

How the fuck is he paid to write this nonsense? 

 I'm not even sure what his point is regarding nix coaching job.

Three words: What.The.F*ck

I actually came away from reading that feeling seriously dumber for having done so. How is this guy given a licence to print such.... a 5yo could do a better effort its that bad.

wait, so we shouldn't sign Mourinho?

 Wrote his last column today. woot woot

Just read it - childhood dross.

BTW the 1979 FA Cup Final was a cracker in the last 10 mins. Man Utd 2, Liam Brady 3

Using his free time to groom the next generation? http://tvnz.co.nz/football-news/barcelona-bound-kiwi-nz-s-next-big-soccer-star-video-5537757 #NextHarryKewell
