Rumors emerging this morning indicate that desperate Inland Revenue officers determined to restore the public purse mounted an unauthorised and audacious swoop on the Tottingham manager in Madrid just 48 hours ago.
Two unmarked men approached Redknapp outside the Vicente Calderon stadium, fell to their knees and started tugging at his trouser leg to distract him while four others rifled cash and luxurious trinklets from his pockets.
‘I’m walking round the outside of the stadium, it’s a fantastic atmosphere, there’s all little stalls there selling sweets, got some sweets, me and Kevin, and it was so packed. The next thing there’s two guys on their knees in front of me and I felt someone pull my overcoat.’
‘I thought ‘What’s that?’, and didn’t take any notice. The next thing there’s two guys on their knees in front of me and they’ve got my trousers and they keep doing this (tugging) with them, pulling them.
‘I didn’t know whether to knee him in the gob or write him a cheque.’
‘I was shocked. You can imagine. I hadn’t experienced anything like this since me and Sandra had that long weekend in Longleat.’
‘I’m going: ‘Let go of my trousers’, pushing them away. While I’m doing that they’re rifling my pockets, there were about six of them. And then they went.’
‘I went to put my hand in my pockets and realised what they’d done.They took everything. All my money, credit cards, everything really. They didn’t get my passport or me trumpet, so the show will go on!’
When asked what he was doing in Madrid Arry replied,’ We was just on a shop up for sweets. There’s been no contact I …err ..we, well no one has spoken to anyone. But obviously he’s a big talent and he’s told me he wants to come.’

fuckface arry said that the only signings he would be doing were to improve on what we have,i dont see any signing he has made since those comments that have come close to improving us.
We’re basically competing with chelscum for 4th now.
Unless we get our act together and stop making our lives so hard.
The team looked unbalanced.
We need two strikers for the style we play.
Vdv is good, but he has also thrown a spanner in the works at the same time.
With the way hutton gets forward, lennon was basically forced to the left.
Shows we can play 4 3 3
Two strikers, vdv then mod pienaar and bale. Simple.
Bale taking the left, hutton the right.
Easy
we are a bit of a mess tactically this season. Harry likes 4-4-2 big man little man combo.
Van Der Vaart forced him to think on his feet and so far he is not doing a brilliant job of it…maybe 2-3 really good performances this season and a lot of relying on individual moments of brilliance to keep us ticking along.
Still waiting for a top drawer team performance in the league
If we have different types of players in the same position, why not use them? If we wanna play 4 4 2 , we should play charlie and lennon.
If harry wants vdv to play, we still need two strikers on the pitch.
Ok fine, play hutton on the right and let him bomb forward.
We didn’t even need a left back today, bassong was play CB. Pienaar dropped back.
We have a ‘great’ squad, but depending on the opposition – I don’t see us utilizing the options we have to get the best out of a game.
Jenarse starting??? Again??? Play bale and lennon as high playing wingers. And mod, vdv and pienaar in the centre. The combinations are endless in fact..but still we have to put jenarse on the field…
good points,i never understand why managers can’t bench players,no shame in bringing on quality players,fergie doesn’t mind sticking players on the bench
If we want to play a man up front on his own we need someone with some serious pomp and determination a la drogba. Right now I genuinely believe Ricardo fuller would be a first choice striker in our squad. I have a soft spot for pav but he is never given a long run in the team.
thats true i keep reading how fantastic we are and title contenders,not sure i’ve seen us play well many games this season,inter at home,couple of others
i agree harry wants to play 4-4-2 but can’t see a way to play vdv in it
Look forward to Mr Fatfish’s thoughts if the old bean managed to tear himself away from the local fleshpot offerings :blush:
