Good evening fight fans.
Literally for those of you, like me hoping to still be awake when two rather large gentlemen eventually take to the ring later on ce soir.
For which, I’ve opted for the Peter Cook approach. I want Haye to win, have backed Harrison for a KO or TKO and will be milling into copious, voluminous quantities of booze from the very moment I hit publish on this baby. All bets covered.
So what of today? The minute’s silence at The Lane was pretty abysmal. Stoke’s was poor, but then they are a cluster f*ck of tram-sheds on a main road, so car horns etc are not really negotiable. But cries of Yid Army were clearly audible. I’m water-boarding the next Spurs fan that annoys me. I have the will. On the G Gordan Liddy scale of determination I’m hitting a new DEFCON number.
We really do have some absolute brainless oafs in the Home sections these days.
A win marred by 2 daft goals the Spurs fans will say. Blackburn probably feel it was a win marred by 4 daft goals. So everyone’s a winner babe. That’s no lie. A trip, a soiree to Le Emptycrates awaits next time we’re ringside Premiership wise. Let’s hope they don’t do us on a TKO like Blackburn nearly did.
As long as VdV has got a license to roam, right wing is also ok for him..
3 points off 4th and 4 points off third place.
Its only a thrid of the way thru the season. With the likes of defoe and dawson coming back sooner than later and hopefully a decent transfer window in jan (with some deadwood going out and better players coming in), its not all doom and gloom is it?
Like you Harry, I’m ashamed of the couple of idiots shouting Yid Army at the end of the last post.
I don’t know if there is etiquette for the playing of the Last Post & a minute’s silence, but for me a minute’s silence followed by the Last Post would have been better. People applauded the bugler after he’d finished, therefore causing an issue for the minutes silence. Unfortunately, not our finest hour.
In the game, we should have been home and hosed by half time. Pav, for once, showing poor finishing, which is normally the best part of his game. I don’t understand why VDV didn’t take the penalty, as he took & scored our last one.
I do try hard not to criticise our own players, learning my lesson in the late 70’s on The Shelf having received a rather large shiner and a warning from a fellow Spurs fan after I booed John Lacey. Both goals we conceded yesterday came from weak defensive headers from our only fit striker.
On the prattle blog yesterday, I defended Crouch when someone asked for a positive side to his game by stating he was useful when the opposition had a corner. I now realise that I was wrong and would offer my sincere apologies to everyone concerned.
i went to school with Lacy”s son in Potters Bar,he was crap at footie,just like his Dad..!!COYS
Van de Vaart was wasted on the right, he wasn’t getting the chances which is why he didn’t score. Hw wandered about looking to get involved and left a big hole on the right which a better team would exploit.
lets give harry the benefit of the doubt and say that he got the tactics right for this game…at least…it seems… could be luck…
Tactics are what makes boats float and fish drown
