Dismantling Catenaccio

My erstwhile coursemate at Nottingham Trent University, Christian O'Connell, has got the gig to present ITV's quirky, sideways, irreverant look at the World Cup hosted by a comedian. This time the show is called World Cuppa. I'm sure it will be amusing enough, but I sincerely hope that among his many guests Christian finds space for our deeply entertaining former lecturer, Con Lodziak. Some years prior to becoming an expert on critical theory and author of such tomes as 'Manipulating needs' and 'The myth of consumerism', Lodziak wrote a cash-in guide to 'Understanding soccer tactics' for the 1966 World Cup. Could you picture Jamie Redknapp being led from a discussion of the merits of a libero to a discussion of the merits of Theodor Adorno's negative dialectics? It would be a truly surreal and hilarious sight. Chris Morris would do it. Have you got the balls, Christian?
