The former Palace chair seeming very angry indeed about others’ opinions is just par for the course as football’s age of rage ramps up another levelYet again the mainstream wokealorium is preachifying from its pulpitrex.

It has been difficult, gruelling in parts, but also warm, exhilarating and at times deeply erotic. I was SAVAGED by Simon Jordan. And I’ve never felt so alive.

You know who Simon Jordan is. Used to own Crystal Palace. Now a very good and listenable pundit on TalkSport, where he does the grown-up topics.

Simon Jordan has strong opinions. His worldview says: the world is bad. The world is in need of correction.

And he’s right about that, as he often is about things. That’s what makes this all a bit surprising because I like Simon Jordan! I listen to his morning show with Jim White and it’s often really good.
