The Sad Bitter World of Alan Green

The actor Sylvester Stallone attended this afternoon's match between Everton and Reading today (honours even at 1-1). An entertainment journalist from BBC Five Live managed to have a few words with him and he struck me (as he did during his brilliant AICN Q&A series recently) as a funny and smart guy.

But my goodness, his visit to Goodison Park brought out the winging bitter side of Alan Green, well, his even more winging bitter side. I'm sure most listeners to Five Live's football coverage are familiar with the bloated old moan machine, but today he surpassed himself.

Towards the end of the match, spitting bile with every word, Green gave us his thoughts on Stallone's presence at today's match. It's bad enough having to hear Green whine about footballing matters, but he sounded so desperately pathetic going on and on about Sly and whether he was going to leave early, what he might know about football and his bodyguard.

Sad desperate stuff really.
