Alcoholism, Hooliganism and...plain crazy

This week has seen some of the craziest stories of the season. Here are my favourites.
- 1) BBC Sport: Ex-England footballer Paul Gascoigne has said that football clubs should not stop players from drinking.
This titbit, which is more ridiculous than Joseph Fritzl offering parenting advice, came following Harry Redknapp's vow to ban alcohol following Ledley King's arrest on Sunday morning.
"It's a little lesson for Ledley King. That's OK. He'll learn from that, there's not a problem, leave the kid alone. What can you do?" said the self-confessed wife-beater about the man arrested on suspicion of GBH.
- 2) Simple but brilliant. The French club Le Mans have just appointed Arnaud Cormier as their manager, with Yves Bertucci serving as his assistant. At the beginning of the season, Bertucci himself was the manager - and his assistant was...wait for it ... Arnaud Cormier.
- 3) (Taken from FourFourTwo.com.) Boca Juniors' hooligan group has begun unofficially offering services to tourists by taking them into the stadium and keeping an eye on them. For a total charge of just £50, apparently less than tourists are usually fleeced, the visitors also get a courtesy call the next day to make sure they had a good time. I wonder if the Glazers might try it.
