There's always been something a bit Rodney Trotter about Rio Ferdinand, his forgetting a drug test being just one example of his plonker status, but his own goal for Portmouth on Saturday really took the biscuit.
I started watching the match just before half-time. Man Utd were a goal down. Excellent, thinks I, this should make for a good secong half. I expected Man U to come forward in droves, and they did. I was waiting for Man U to make the breakthtough and it never came, until...
Step forward, Rodney Ferdinand.
Ferdinand has been waiting for his tv comedy breakthrough for some time. He got off to a false start with his oh-so-unfunny World Cup Pranks in the summer, but made a stunning comeback with a hilarious backpass, executed with perfect comedy timing minutes before the final whistle.
Rodney Trotter and Homer Simpson rolled into one, comedy genius...
(disclaimer, this post in no way implies that I want Chelsea to win the title, but it will be more interesting now... )
