The Wardman Wire

It is time for December’s obligatory football article.

From Matthew Norman today in the Viewspaper, damning James Harding, the new editor of the Times, with faint praise - as a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur:

As for Mr Harding, I’ve only come across him as part of the same group of Spurs fans that included Daily Telegraph editor Will Lewis, yet another city hack, and Andy Coulson who ironically lost his News of the World berth due to lack of fiscal nous (the poor lamb failed to notice that a chunk of his editorial budget was being paid to someone to bug princely mobiles). Exactly how exposure to the perpetual defeatism that goes with supporting Tottenham hot houses these careers is one for a doctoral thesis. All I can say about Mr Harding is what I said about Mr Lewis – he too, to borrow from the late Larry Grayson, seemed like a nice boy – which isn’t very much at all. No doubt we will come to a more considered view in time.

My prediction?

The Times will now gradually go downhill, and they will continually be blaming the Telegraph next door for embarrassing them by being too successful.
