FIGHT!
Craig Bellamy attacking John Arne Riise with a golf club. John Hartson booting Eyal Berkovic in the mush at West Ham’s training ground. Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer whaling into each other on the field at St James’s Park. The history of football is littered with incidents of teammates getting their fight on in the kind of scenes commentators feel compelled to announce nobody wants to see, even though we know plenty of folk who’d pay good money for CCTV footage of a half-naked Norwegian being chased through a hotel corridor by a Welshman armed with a mashie-niblick and a sense of grievance over his prey’s refusal to sing Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now by Starship at a Portuguese karaoke bar.
