If you can’t sleep, watch this video:
Either Taylor is so thick and humourless he doesn’t even know what a sitcom is (unless he mishears the question, in which case he’s still thick and humourless); nor does he have any concept of the phrase ‘guilty pleasure’. Jesus Christ on a bicycle.
When the Newcastle defender is prompted to name a sitcom, he parrots the interviewer and answers ‘Only Fools and Horses’ – of course, this is the stock answer that all English footballers give to that question, because footballers have very little imagination. In Taylor’s case, zero imagination – he likes Ronan Keating, for feck’s sake.
Just as well Taylor didn’t have to say what his favourite book is. That would have been embarrassing (‘What’s that then?’); almost as embarrassing as Taylor equating Newcastle’s relegation with the end of the world. Or admitting that Dumb and Dumber is your favourite film.
Did I say humourless? Sorry Steven, for a moment I forgot about this…Â
I take it all back.
