It has been announced that an urgent nationwide hunt is on for two men who went missing under ‘suspicious circumstances’ in North London yesterday evening.
The men have been named as Dougie Maicon and Wesser Sneijder. It is understood that both men were involved in a game of football that kicked off a little after 19.45 last night in the London borough of Haringay.
The appeal for information has swamped switchboards this morning but bizarrely all sightings completely cease minutes into what experts are calling, ‘the second half’.
Dougie Maicon, was last seen flagging down a taxi at half time and those heading up the investigation are very keen to speak to the driver of the vehicle.
The second man, who has been previously linked with a recent World Cup final disappearance was spotted being passed to and from several men in Lilywhite shirts who we understand, ‘took turns keeping him in their pockets’.

In 25 years as a season ticket holder that ranks as the best night and best performance I’ve ever seen from any Spurs side, glory all the way.
Never has this seemed more apt, even in the face of such an astonishing victory;
“It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high… so high, in fact, that even failure will have in it an echo of glory!”
— Bill Nicholson OBE
Comolli is the one that got away…
Last night was really only something Spurs fans can appreciate, it encompassed the philosophy of Spurs brilliantly. One goal up against the European champions with ten minutes to go most sides would opt to go for a “what we have we hold” option, we went for the jugular, and that is why Spurs are the greatest entertainers in world football (possibly barring Barca).
To other football people it’s “just” 3 points and a good win, to Spurs fans it is the confirmation of all we stand for.
I completely agree, everything good about Tottenham was on show last night – skill, flair, strength, pace and determination
Unfortunately I missed out on tickets, but I got some for the Bremen game. On last nights showing, I can’t wait
I’m sorry, “go for the jugular?!”
Subing Lennon for Palacios in the 84th minute when we were up 2-1 doesn’t exactly scream audere est facere.
We sat back, confident in our counter-attacking play. You can’t really defend with offence in the last few minutes of a game like this. The losing team will have the pressure more or less regardless. We have to learn to sit back and wait for our chances in the nervy final minutes. Push and run is unfortunately not a winning tactic when Inter (or Chelsea or Man U) are pushing up for an equalizer.
I’m not saying we (or anyone else, for that matter) should try to defend for 80 minutes if we take an early lead. But in the chaotic final few minutes, you have no choice against the best clubs.
I’ll admit, I questioned the logic of taking off our fastest player when we were in a counter-attacking position. In the end Redknapp was vindicated (thank f*ucking god), and with the game the Beast was having, we didn’t really need anything other than someone in the middle for him to bank his crosses in off (Sandra Redknapp might have done).
I’m not taking anything away from the performance. Quite possibly the best team performance I have seen from Spurs, bar none. Let’s just try not to delude ourselves. We need to remember how close we were to letting this slip through our fingers, in spite of an incredible effort. That underlines the continued importance of what many on this blog have called for on numerous occasions. Namely concentration for the full ninety minutes.
Eto’o scored a brilliant goal. I was quick to lash out at a defence “back to it’s old tricks”, but having seen it a few times since, it is difficult to point fingers. It was mostly a display of sublime skill on the Cameroon striker’s part. That, and one slip in our concentration (or another moment of brilliance from Milito or another similarly world class player) is all it takes for all that hard work to crumble.
Enjoy it while it lasts. It’s an incredible result that makes qualification to the group stages look decidedly attainable. Bolton, though, won’t care one bit about it, and will certainly be looking to put one over on us, not for the first time in recent history. If we can build on this then great, but if we don’t it might not be more than a footnote. Another classic brilliantly entertaining Spurs performance that didn’t mean anything at the end of the season.
COYS!
Errrm I fail to see how our left winger galloping down the flank and crossing to the centre forward isn’t going for the jugular. Any other side would have taken the ball to the corner flag and played out time.
I’m all for pessimism (having been a season ticket holder for the past 25 years it’s in my psychological make up) but some how this result and performance feels different, a coming of age if you will. The amount of belief that our players should have gained is incalculable. Of course if we stumble at Bolton the fans and press alike will doubtless talk about a false dawn but to beat the European champions with arguably the best back four in club football should make our boys realise that they need not fear anyone.
