The Sun reported Gordon gushing “It’s going to be a tough fight but I know Ricky can beat anyone.  He will have the whole country behind him and I wish him the best of luck.” Ricky Hatton really didn’t need that  endorsement did he?

Hatton went down in the second round.  Out cold.

Andy Murray, Britain’s No. 1 tennis player, met  Jonah Brown in late April, the next week he crashed  out of the Rome Masters tournament in the first round. His worst result since last August. The curse struck again.

Globally Gordon’s curse continues to wreak havoc in the third world.  The Fiji tourist board must be regretting ever seeking the endorsement of  the jinxed Prime Mentalist.  Guido has previously reported the effect on the local economy.  The Curse of the One-Eyed Son of the Manse has now seen Fiji suspended from the Pacific Forum due to the fact it hasn’t held elections.  Something Gordon has in common with the Fijian regime…

UPDATE : Nicola Burdett was hired from the BBC to prevent Gordon getting into embarrassing picture situations.  She must have had a day off today:

Today was supposedly the beginning of the fight back…
