Check it - from yesterday's Daily Star:

Daily Star said:
What a result! Britain's first university degree course has been launched for football pundits.

Boffins at Staffordshire University hope to churn out a new generation of TV legends like Gary Lineker, Alan Hansen and Mark Lawrenson.

Nineteen professional footballers nearing retirement have already signed up for the unique course to learn the tricks of the trade. But surely their biggest lesson will be how to avoid any "Big Ron" moments and learn from Ron Atkinson's infamous "n****r" gaff about Marcel Desailly.
they then go on to use this as an excuse to print the most racist, bigoted and inflammatory remarks from aforementioned pundits, in true daily star fashion :v:

the bit that caught my eye was Nineteen professional footballers nearing retirement have already signed up for the unique course - does this mean you're going to start seeing rickety old footballers mincing about stafford then?? :teef:

i was just quoting the daily star verbatim.. they probably deliberately omitted him, however - there are limits to the skills that can be taught, even in such hallowed learning emporia as stafford polytechnic :v:

You knows it
Haha this is simply Top drawer news. I would have loved to done this. Think of all those new cliche's you would learn.

I won't sit on the fence about Big Ron. What he said was out of order and i'll admit some of his views are unacceptable. As a pundit however, he was the best and was the only thing that made 'Clive man united loving tydelsley' anywhere near bearable!

Full marks to Big Ron he was the master of setting his stall out early doors when it came to wearing his heart on his sleeve. He is back on Bravo now doing serie A which is quite amusing as he is usually put next to some italian who can hardly understand his Ronism's :)

The man has even got his own language....

learn to speak ronglish
