Those in charge of the Premier League are happy to take responsibility for everything except the failures

"There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first."

The misguided fools who hanker after Margaret Thatcher's tough love might have their dreams come true if her political heirs find themselves in power later this year. In the meantime, there is always the Premier League, where those in charge are happy to take responsibility for everything that happens under their watch except the failures.

"Given the amount of central income that is generated by the Premier League, it would be down to absolutely rank bad management if a club itself was actually to go into administration," said the league's chief executive, Richard Scudamore, at the weekend, so distancing the organisation he heads from the financial problems that, to varying degrees, have been visited upon the majority of its member clubs.

Portsmouth? Not me, guv. Manchester United, Liverpool, Hull City, West Ham? Ditto. "I don't think anyone wants the Premier League running football clubs, it's very much for the owners to run the football clubs."

There was a kernel of truth in Scudamore's comment – he's right, no one in their right mind would want the Premier League running their club – but there wasn't much in the way of originality. The same arguments have been made elsewhere, albeit in more expansive form, with supporters of the status quo drawing parallels between the stewardship of Premier League clubs and the stewardship of any kind of business. So what if the money, power and success is concentrated in the hands of the few? That is what happened in the supermarket industry, and no one complains. So what if a football club goes bust? It happens all the time on the high street, the consequence of bad business practice and a failure to meet customer needs and expectations. Get over it.

Football is not unique, the argument goes. People just think it is, which is why they mistakenly conclude that the current problems at, say, Portsmouth are symptomatic of a widespread malaise within the game when, in reality, they are symptomatic of nothing more than the fact that those in charge at Portsmouth couldn't run a sponsored silence at a Trappist monastery. There is no legislating for incompetence, just as there is no need to rescue those clubs who fall victim to it.

All of this might be true, but only if we are prepared to view football clubs with the bloodless pragmatism of an accountant rather than the emotional investment of a football supporter, which most of us do. Clearly, Scudamore and others of his ilk do not, which is why they have no problem in framing the financial difficulties at Fratton Park and elsewhere in strictly business terms. But what of those Portsmouth fans for whom the club represents a lifetime's worth of memories; bad, good, individual and as part of wider circle of like-minded friends?

No doubt some will mock this notion, of a Premier League football club as part of the social and cultural fabric of a community of supporters, as quaint and old-fashioned. But it is certainly real and it certainly deserves to be met with something more sympathetic than a lecture on the infallibility of the free market or the unworthy suggestion by one respected commentator that, when all is said and done, "we love the madness" of football's finances.

Maybe you do love the madness if you are Manchester City fan whose club has fallen into the hands of a spendthrift billionaire, or if you are a Premier League executive who was lucky enough to be around at a time when the expansion in global communications and increased competition for TV sports rights made your job a damn sight easier than it might otherwise have been.

But if you support Liverpool or Manchester United or Portsmouth or Hull City there is little to love about the financial madness that has seen your club's future imperilled, and even less to love about a Premier League that did little when the madness was growing and even less now that its consequences are being felt.

Neville takes the blame but Tevez is equally guilty

Question: when is it possible to take Gary Neville's side in an argument over football decorum? Answer: when the target of his ire is Carlos Tevez.

Fingergate, as we must contractually describe Tuesday night's events at Eastlands which saw the Manchester United club captain flip the bird in the direction of his former team-mate, is now the subject of an FA investigation. Neville's conduct is being "looked into", apparently.

Perhaps the FA might also want to look into Tevez's equally churlish conduct after scoring which, if it did not breach any of the game's regulations, certainly offended the sensibilities of those who think that a deep and ensuring sense of victimhood is ridiculous from a footballer who is being paid £7m a year to do his job.

McLaren was an inspiration to Scotland's working class

The tributes to Bill McLaren, the long‑time BBC rugby commentator who died this week, have been fully deserved. He had a wonderful voice, unquenchable enthusiasm and a vocabulary that was irresistible to the ear, even if it was occasionally obscure. Argy‑bargy indeed. But perhaps the greatest of McLaren's attributes was that without even trying he was able to give the lie to the misguided idea that rugby was somehow a sport for middle-class "toffs". It wasn't in his home town of Hawick, and it wasn't when he was at work. Even on the working-class estates of Scotland in the 1970s and 80s, when football was still king, an afternoon spent listening to a Bill McLaren commentary on television was invariably followed by an impromptu game of rugby, accompanied by our best Bill McLaren impersonations. Argy‑bargy indeed.

Murray should hurry in chase for grand slam win

Is it too early to say that Andy Murray's time has come? Of course it is. Far better to say that Murray's time better come soon, or it may never come at all.

It is only natural to feel optimistic about the Scotsman's chances of winning his first grand slam title a week come Sunday after his first two appearances on the Melbourne courts, both of which ended in comfortable victory. But we have been here before only for hopes to be quashed either through an inexplicably lacklustre performance by Murray (see last year's US Open loss to Marin Cilic) or a great effort by his opponent (see last year's Wimbledon semi-final defeat at the hands of Andy Roddick).

Such is the ebb and flow of any top-class athlete's life, but recognition of that fact does not diminish the sense that with Roger Federer still around, Rafael Nadal edging back towards the form that once made him irresistible and Juan Martín Del Potro developing a competitive will to match his obvious talent (witness his epic second-round victory over James Blake), Murray's chances of winning a grand slam event will be limited. When one does present itself, he had better take advantage before it is too late.

Looking for inspiration for a Boxing Day outing? Ask the people who live to ride

Steve Peat, World Downhill Mountainbike Champion 2009

My favorite Boxing Day ride would be on a frosty morning and it would be around my local woods, Wharncliffe to be precise. There would be a handfull of my friends with me and we would hit all the technical stuff we could find. Then of course we would have to end the ride near the local pub, the Old Harrow in Grenoside and have a nice warm mulled wine.

• Wharncliffe Woods play host to the Wharncliffe Weekender MTB competition every year. The nearest town to Wharncliffe is Grenoside, just off the A61.

Leon McCarron, around-the-world cyclist and videographer

Growing up on the north coast of Northern Ireland I have been spoiled with some of the most stunning vistas anywhere in the UK. Setting off from Castlerock - named for the fortress-like rocky outcrops on the shore - I cycle past the beach and up onto the moor-land overlooking the Atlantic. It's tempting to stop and watch the waves breaking, but there's so much more to see that I push on. From there the road turns inland, past the Mussenden Temple and Downhill Castle before dropping back down to sea level. A quick breather of the fresh sea air, and it's back up again, this time battling the aggressively inclined and winding Bishop's Road. It takes a good 10 minutes hard pedalling in the lowest gear, and the game is to try and make it without stopping. If you do, the reward is worth every heavy breath and drop of sweat. I'm sure this point must be close to the top of the world - it certainly feels like it as you gaze out towards Portstewart on the right, Donegal on the left and if you're lucky, Scotland on the horizon. The route finally swings back on itself, and I freewheel down through fields and hamlets all the way back to Castlerock, with the promise of a well-earned Boxing Day breakfast.

• Follow the B11 loop road into Castlerock. The Mussenden Temple lies just off the A2 in Coleraine.

Petra Wiltshire, Scott mountain bike team

If in the UK it would have to be an easy ride due to the inevitable post Christmas feeling of over indulgence of both the liquid and food variety! I would have to confess to a nice easy canal path pedal along the Kennet and Avon from Bradford Upon Avon to Bath (no lung busting climbs to endure.) Not technically demanding in any way shape or form, it's simply beautiful! Old farms, medieval barns, and more importantly during the festive season - regular feeding stops. The Lock Inn in Bradford-upon-Avon does a stupendous English breakfast. There are rustic pubs a plenty and the historic city of Bath awaits you at the end.

All in all its a simple "out'n backer" kind of ride which allows you to go as far or as little as the hangover allows! Any road-worthy bike can hack it and it's perfect for the children to road test the new Christmas wheels.

• Pick up the canal by following the B3109 out of Bradford until it crosses over the water.

Emily Chappell, cycle courier, London

Last year's ride was a freezing dash across the hills from my parents' house (near Llanidloes in in Mid Wales) to Ynyslas on the coast (just up from Aberystwyth). Dad on his trusty Dawes Galaxy; me on my totally unsuitable Condor Pista. Glorious tailwind, some lovely climbs, and when we got there the rest of the family were waiting with the car, Christmas cake and a thermos of tea, and we watched the sun set into the sea. We'll be repeating it this year (weather permitting), hopefully with at least one of my brothers.

• You can start Emily's route on the A470 near Dolwen. For a map of the ride, click here

Chris Ford, CycleActive

If it's cold and clear there's nothing like getting high in the mountains on Boxing Day – it's a great workout after the Christmas blowout and a chance to catch some stunning trails at their very best.

We'll park up at Roe Head above Pooley Bridge in the northeast Lake District and start with a warmup spin across Askham Fell. The climb to Arthurs Pike, Loadpot Hill and on to High Street is a dream at this time of year, the peat bogs frozen into a fast, grippy surface with barely another soul in sight. This is the longest ridge ride in England, following the course of the old Roman Road that linked Penrith with Ambleside. Topping out at over 2500ft it takes in the best Lakeland views, with Ullswater, Helvelyn and Blencathra to our right, Haweswater and the remote Shap Fells to our left.

From High Street summit there are two favourite routes back. First up is simple and beautiful – back the way you came out. But if we have time and the group wants a challenge we'll go down through Boredale Hause to the lakeshore trail. It doesn't look much on the map but it's four miles of thrilling, rocky riding as we hug the mountain to our right with Ullswater just below on our left. Beautiful!

• Roe Head is just off the B5305.

I'd like to extend a warm greeting of the season to all NHL fans, the hockey blogosphere and the rest of SB Nation.

This is a general open comment thread for the next day or two (seeing some people will spend time on here looking for news or wanting to talk hockey while others won't be around). We're also including our blogroll after the jump and encourage you to check out sites that we link to there.

Merry Christmas everyone.
