The FA's dubious goals committe has taken the best part of three months to decide that his goal at Wigan actually went in off David Thompson's toe and his scuffer that earned a us a win at Portsmouth wasn't going in until it hit one of their defenders.
Leon's convinced that the one at Wigan was definitely his goal and has sort of said that he thinks the one at Portsmouth should be given to him too. But they haven't been so he's now down to just two goals for the season.
In other news, Moyes has stated that Phil Neville should go to the World Cup and add to his 52 caps. Caps that he won, incidentally, by playing in various positions in the odd game for Man United every now and then.
Now he's settled (well, sort of) in the centre of our midfield, and has probably had the longest run of consecutive first team games of his career, he's no longer good enough. A bit similar to the way Heskey was dropped as soon as he left Liverpool. And kind of the reverse of what Peter Crouch is going through at the minute.
Incidentally, is it just me or does Crouch remind anyone else of Brett Angell when he takes flight? Just like our former striking sensation, he appears to duck as he jumps and so loses about six inches in height when trying to meet a cross. It could be that, in his formative years, he was so used to hearing people shout 'Crouch' as he leapt for the ball that he thought it was an order and tucked his head into his knees. Or it may just be that he's shite!
And, speaking of his formative years, how often do you reckon he actually got to dinner time without being 'relieved' of his dinner money by some kid with a wispy moustache?
Anyway, with regards to England, all future Everton contracts should be stamped with the warning: "Signing for Everton can seriously jeapordise your England career". This might stop players getting their hopes up and saying daft things like: "I've spoken to Sven and he says that if I do well at Everton then there's no reason why I can't make the squad".
And anyway, when they do get in the England set up it's only a matter of time before they bugger off somewhere to 'further their career', so it's probably best that they don't get called up!
