Pre-Disastered

Ah, the Interlull. What joy.

International football for most of us these days is about as alluring as a Hugh Laurie Blues album. On an upbeat note for Spurs fans …just like The World According To Garp, we have nothing to fear on the Gareth Bale front as he is ‘pre-disastered’. At least it’s not his back.

The whole John Terry thing has be dredged up again of course. ‘I’m not everyone’s cup of tea,’ he told us. I’d say that’s fair comment. Unless you’re a clinical psychologist of course. Not so much a one dimensional social misfit, but a walking case study. There was a time when I saw JT as simply a deeply unpalatable figure of fun. But since he lost the England captaincy we have been exposed quite literally to a beast even more damaged and sinister than we first thought. In at least one post match Chelsea interview Terry appeared stripped to the waist bar the Captain’s armband slipped back onto the arm of his bare torso.

Son of convicted drug dealer, husband to a cautioned shoplifter. Urinater into pint pots …I am Maximus Unpleasantness and I will ‘ave me armband back!

I defy anyone to question that JT hasn’t seriously questioned getting a tattoo of the armband.

Next up is Fabio, I guess. The cool air of an Italian maestro dissolved minute by South African minute. What was left was a Spitting Image 2.0 puppet with spectacles fitted by the same people that do Heston Blumenthal.

Will Defoe score? Who knows or cares. Let’s hope that 3MP doesn’t get injured or kidnapped by wolves or whatever dark fates await those who go to Wales casually these days.

Andy Carroll Anytime Goalscorer in a protracted 0-1 is 16/1.

  • Call me old fashioned (you won’t be the first), but a competitive international still means something to me. The fact it’s our local rivals gives it an edge too. Im watching. So there.

    I do tend to watch through the fingers of my hand if any Spurs players play. Made worse by the image of Daws leg pointing the wrong way….

    International friendlies on the other hand….the game against Ghana can jog on. Pointless money making episode that will achieve and prove nothing.

    I’ll be watching as well, so that makes two of us.

    On the next managerial sacking theme, howabout if England lose Saturday, would Capello get the gooner?
    Surely the press will pile on the pressure on Fab should England not win.
    I’m just hoping ‘Arry’s inevitable climb to the top will tie in with Mr Mourinio’s stint at Real coming to an end.

    • Matt84 says:

      The Fa cannot afford to sack Crapello.

      • Harry Hotspur says:

        Spot on. The only reason he’s still in a job. The only reason.

        • are you nervous about Arry leaving when he gets the call? I have a slight sense of foreboding.

          Im not Arry’s greatest fan, I tend to think he dwells to much in cliche both tactically and when interviewed, but our squad seems to have a fragility to em that would come clod hopping to the fore should any changes occur.

          Would prefer a structured hand off to a viable contender. If there are any.

          Nothing will happen with Harry taking over England while his tax issue is pending with the court.

        • TMWNN says:

          That was true when there were two full years to pay off, but one year might be manageable. I get the feeling that postman Pat doesn’t want to be there and would be willing to cut a deal. It will all depend on whether Redknapp is found out to be a criminal.

          Either way, it makes a lot more sense to give the new man a chance before Pat makes another mess of it, but sense is a currency the FA don’t trade in.

          Saying that, there is a real possibility that Redknapp might not be at Spurs next season, and If I were Levy, I’d be lining up our new manager now. Not sure Jose would want to work within the constraints imposed by Levy, but perhaps Hiddink would.

  • TMWNN says:

    goose is a yid, that’s my only worry if Redknapp is replaced. I can’t stand Redknapp, but he operates on the same wavelength as a lot of the players. A very dumbed down wavelength probably. Should someone come in with more than a couple of brain cells, could the players cope?

  • Billy Fiore says:

    Sack Capello and employ someone who doesn’t give a monkeys how much he’s paid to manager England.

    Rules Harry out then!

  • Sid Trotter says:

    Hello. I’ve picked up 6 bags of dog poo today.

    I thought the missus would be pleased.

    She wasn’t.

    Its not my fault we haven’t got a dog

    • TKMaximus says:

      It isn’t winning. It’s taking part.

    • Spurstacus says:

      I took my dog for a walk one night through some coniferous trees. The dog disappeared into some undergrowth, returning with a limp. Thinking that he had trodden on a needle or piece of broken glass, and being a responsible owner I bent down to to investigate and alleviate. Unfortunately he did not have a needle or broken glass embedded in his paw. He had stepped in dog pooh and it had stuck between his pads. He walked home without a limp- I walked home with dog pooh on my fingers.

    • melcyid says:

      You could come over here for a holiday ,there is plenty of poo on the beaches,most of it is fresh.some may even be human.the expats would appreciate it very much.I could supply the bags and in the evenings you could shout at the moon. :blink:
