I was recently musing over Glenn Hoddle's verbal howler at the time he upset disabled folk by alluding to them being wicked in previous lives.

"At the present moment in time, I never said them things"

He, my American friends, is a footballer. This profession seems to be legendary in its inarticulacy, and we require endless interviews from these poor ill-equipped sods. It's a national sport in itself.
