Last Saturday, Spurs scored five. What did all the TV and newspapers think was the big story: one player not shaking hands with another player.
Last Sunday, West Brom scored five. What did all the TV and newspapers shout about? The same non-handshake.
I'm a sports fan. I love to see brilliant sportsmen doing brilliant things.
I couldn't care less what rude things players say to each other, what obscenities the fans sing and shout about.
I don't expect sportsmen to be model citizens, any more than I expect or want rock stars to be model citizens.
I want them to lift me out of my seat with their brilliance. And I want the TV and newspapers to tell me about their brilliance, not about their social graces.
