Dunny’s Hairdryer

WHEN they reopen grounds to spectators, Nigel Farage should be banned from every single one.

Not that he is likely to want to attend a football match – too many immigrants for his liking, no doubt.

The odious Farage (above) put out a social media post in which he denounced an organised tour of Anfield for refugees staying in a hostel on the Wirral.

We do not need to go into his loathsome views on the matter.

We just need to send him packing with the news that football clubs are places where everyone who deserves compassion gets compassion.

As one fan tweeted: “Anfield, like Liverpool itself, welcomes people from all faiths and backgrounds, especially those who have come to the UK to escape war, tyranny and starvation.”

And football will continue to welcome people from all faiths and backgrounds… but, hopefully, never the vile Farage.

FRANK LAMPARD’S name appears on as pointless a shortlist as you could wish for.

The Premier League Manager of the Year will be Jurgen Klopp, but three others are on that list.

Chris Wilder, fair enough. Brendan Rodgers, mmmm. Lampard, just how exactly?

Yes, there was the transfer ban, but a fourth-place finish for a big club does not warrant a Manager-of-the-Year nomination.

Chelsea finished a place lower and six points worse off than the season before. You must go back to 1997-98 to find a campaign when they lost more games than the 12 defeats for Lampard’s team.

His side play some nice stuff, but the script that says he had a superb first season as a Premier League boss is mystifying.
