A Clean Slate - John Salako Style

Former Crystal Palace winger John Salako has never struck me as a natural journalist in all his time with the good people at Sky Sports.

This morning, however, he verged on Garth Crooks levels of ineptitude in his preview of League Two on Sky Sports News.

It wasn't that he tipped Rochdale, last season's losing play-off finalists, as the team to beat, despite the fact that they have stayed in the same division since football tables began.

Nope, it was that he began his piece with a romantic vision of the start of a new football season. Everyone starts on a level footing, said John. A clean slate, he mused. Not quite, John. Ask Luton Town.

Which is why I feel no sort of sorrow for Salako over the sort of abuse dished out in the clip below. Asking for it, he is.
