"It will come as no surprise to admirers of Alastair Campbell's matchless prose that by far the best bits of his captivating World Cup blog are the comments appended to it by people who are not Alastair Campbell. Sadly, however, due we imagine to some unforeseen technical hitch, not all of them seem to stay up there for very long. As a service to readers, we are pleased to reproduce below a small selection of those that disappeared - representative, we feel, of the affection and respect Mr Tony's former spokesman continues to inspire in us all: 1) "I don't mind football so much, but I feel hooligans have ruined the game. I guess I feel pretty much the same way about politics, Alastair." 2) "Alastair, if Iran find themselves behind at half-time, do you think they'll be able to launch a counterstrike within 45 minutes?" Or, of course, 3): "Oh for fuck's sake, Alastair."
Those who wish to read the old bruiser's musings can find them here - but, remember, the comments tend to disappear quite quickly.
