Rob Shepherd, the Daily Mail's Grapevine columnist, and our undercover Englishman THE MOLE on BOLLOCKZ!

The Dogz Bollockz! With Matthew Pattison and producer Comfort
Khezwa at the Ballz visual radio studios in Midrand this week

BIDVEST Wits midfielder Matthew Pattison, fresh from winning the Man of the Match award in this week's 1-0 win over AmaTuks, spent time in the BOLLOCKZ! studio at www.ballz.co.za this week.

Exclusive: The Mole in studio

Matt, who played 25 games for Newcastle United before moving to Norwich City, explained how he was born south of Johannesburg, moved to England as a youngster - and eventually returned to play for Mamelodi Sundowns in 2009.

An accomplished broadcast pundit as well as a top professional footballer and novice golfer (!), Pattison interacted with our two English football experts, underground reporter THE MOLE and the Daily Mail's Grapevine columnist Rob Shepherd, talking about Arsenal, Sir Bobby Robson and the European Champions League.






Matt helped us to invest charitable listener Leon Petzer's R1,500 with www.topodds.com too - see the video on their site or carry on watching below!

British transfer expert known only as THE MOLE makes his debut on BOLLOCKZ! Guess who he is and WIN the brand new Orlando Pirates shirt!

THE MOLE made his debut on chapter three of BOLLOCKZ! my new football show on www.ballz.co.za this morning. You can listen to our interview by clicking on the arrow above. Mind the mole claws.


With a broad north London accent and a shrewd understanding of the British transfer market, THE MOLE told us: "I don't know if Arsenal really want Luis Suarez from Liverpool with all the baggage he brings. He's got an agent, obviously, who is putting his name around to all and sundry."


The Mole also told us about Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain's possible move to the Gunners from Real Madrid amid suggestions the cash could, ironically, be used by the Spanish giants to fund their bid for Tottenham's Welsh Wizard Gareth Bale.


We also talked about Chelsea's new signing, Phil Neville's elevation to assistant manager at Manchester United under his former Everton boss David Moyes - and the possibility of Wayne Rooney playing in London.


Earlier in the show, I talked to former Orlando Pirates star Mark Fish - dressed in my old 2011 "Treble Winners" Sea Robbers jersey. Mark and I chatted about the old Pirates African conquering side and touched on his ONLY international appearance in the COSAFA Cup in 1998 - a 3-2 extra-time defeat against Namibia in Windhoek.


That Bafana side featured Benni McCarthy, Philemon Masinga and a host of star - but still came a cropper! See our discussion on video below.


Also on BOLLOCKZ yesterday Buccaneers PRO Mickey Modisane promised I would be the FIRST to wear the new "back to black" Pirates jersey on July 16.


I'll swap jerseys to do just that LIVE on the day - but the brand new shirt will go to a lucky reader of my blog IF they can give me the identity of THE MOLE! Simply post your answers to www.twitter.com/nealcol over the next week for a chance to win!


I'll post the Mickey Modisane interview later. The general aim is to build a nationwide head of steam before Pirates renew their Champions League challenge against Congo's AC Leopards at the Orlando Stadium on July 20.
