This whole Bale love in has been bordering on that Python sketch. He innocently leaves some Kenesio tape on the changing room floor one minute and 30 seconds later someone’s clutching ‘a sign’.
Bale’s extraordinary arrival could be just what the doctor ordered.
I don’t mean in respect of what he achieves on the pitch and all that mallarky, rather the way Spurs are perceived. If this lad can hold his resolve, if Levy & Co can ensure they do their bit and not act with so much dispassion that it allows the boys’ head to be turned, then this could be a pivotal moment for the Tottinghams.
For some time it has grated me that we have essentially been a selling club. Yeah,yeah I know there is a list of players we have managed to hang on to, but please – none of them have quite caught the eye of others like those who did abandon us.
No matter how high the regard we hold Azza Blud or anyone else for that matter, they have not had a queue around the block of suitors waving carrier bags of used notes.
But Bale is doing a bloody good impression of, ‘the real deal’ so this is our chance to send out a message that the days of Carrick, Berbatoss and PSB are behind us.
The prattle will commence in earnest this afternoon. Honest. And on a not entirely unrelated housekeeping matter can I apologize to anyone who emailed me on my new address or indeed the old one of late. Both appear to be made of cheese. Normal service will be resumed and I wasn’t being rude.
Oh yes, decent response to the comp yesterday – looks like most of you got it wrong. Apart from Toddspurs.

:silly: Pony :whistle:
So frustrating today. That is just so Spurs. We cant beat teams that press us and wont let us have time on the ball. It happens time and time again.
The defence all did OK individually, but didn’t play well as a unit.
I don’t understand why ‘Arry started with Sarge & Sandra. If Thudd wasn’t 100%, then Jenas should have played in the middle. Krankie cannot play on the right, end of. Bentley should have started out wide.
Whilst Defoe in unfit, ‘Arry feels that Crouch is the best option, unfortunately. If only he’d give Pav the same run that he’s given Crouch.
Gomes – 6 . I reckon he is 1 or 2 games away from pulling up with another thigh / hamstring / groin injury. He was frightened to kick it today and when he did, it was poor.
Hutton – 7. Great going forward, still suspect with his positioning. Best option we have at RB though.
Gallas – 6. Not great, not poor. Just above average.
Kaboul – 5.5. Kaboul in a china shop today.
BAE – 6. Gave away a silly penalty. Not up to this season’s satndard today.
Krankie – 5. Can’t play wide right. Didn’t look match fit (hardly suprising).
Sarge – 5.5. Just doesn’t seem to be the player he was.
Sandra – 6. At fault for the first (offside) goal. Ran around a lot, not much more.
The £50m man – 6. Double teamed. Maybe needs another trip to Cardiff, looked shattered.
Modders – 8. The main man. More or less at the heart of everything we did well today, which wasn’t much.
Crouch – 4. Trying to find something positive. He defends well at corners. Why cant he win the ball like that at the right end.
Pav – 7. Does what we pay him to do, score goals. Take note please ‘Arry.
Thudd – 7. We looked so much better when he’s around.
Bentley – 5. Frustrating. Cut the silly flicks out ffs and do what we know you can do please.
“Arry feels that Crouch is the best option”
Harry mentions Pav’s goal but says,‘Pav didn’t do a lot else when he came on.’
I didn’t hear a mention of Crouch’s fairly useless shift.
I’m not holding my breath that Harry gives Pav a run of games
It’s a mystery how any manager can continually pick a striker who can’t score goals. I’d love to know how many Crouch has missed thus far. Pav has scored 7 in 14 games (most of which he didn’t start) whereas 3MP has scored 5 in 16.
And it’s not as if he dominates in the air, half the time he gives the ball away and his control is rubbish.
Maybe Crouchy’s dad is Arry’s lawyer
some of you kunts have got a nerve questioning me, this shit hole was relegation zone through and through when i took over,i stick with crouch because he is english and im england manager ok cuntfaces, me=manager not you shit yids i brang you class i signed gallas when no one wanted him who the fuck wants to sign a man city reject we have gareth bale and a fantastic squad im not a fucking wheeler dealer fuck off fucking panzy yid cunts
