Morning.
Is there another football club like us? Our players take to the pitch a creaky PA system blasting some macho Star Wars tune. Our intrepid boys ought charge out to The Entry Of The Gladiators.
Just as I thought we were on a reprieve from the day to day idiocies of life in the N17 fast lane – news from yonder Evening Standard breaks. Clive Allen has given Jermain Defoe a Jimmy Greaves golden goal compilation video.
Innocent enough you might think. Until you discover it was in the guise of a ‘How To Guide.’
This is not so much the equivalent of handing a runner up in Masterchef a copy of the latest Gordon Ramsey book, it’s more like handing a fully qualified airplane pilot with a major carrier snapshots of crashed aircraft, smoldering twisted metal, dead bodies and bits of luggage scattered about with the word, ‘BAD’ in block capitals subtitled on them.
Typically Tottenham. Full of good intention but woefully shy of achieving anything you’d actually want to confess you’d had a go at. How did we get to the shameful state of affairs whereby a one time goal machine is being thrown old bones like this and actually sharing with major newspaper that they,‘taste real good!’?
It’s insane. Do you think that Andy Murray watches old Pathe News footage of Fred Perry when his form’s on the wane? Do you think Wayne Rooney will be having both knees replaced as a 70th birthday present to himself? Will Didier Drogba have to sell his medals to keep all three bars on his gas fire come the autumn of his years?
No of course not. The modern game is almost unrecognisable from how it was 20 years ago, let alone 40 or 50. I like Clive Allen, but this smacks of something more desperate than even your average common or garden desperation.
I could have Jermain back and pumping ’em in like a man on the razz with Berlusconi in a matter of hours. All you do is show him endless footage of him knocking the ball to his right foot, hunching and ‘kapow!ing’ it to the keeper’s feet and every time he does it on the tape you clip him round the back of the head and shout ‘idiot!’ at him.
Seems harsh I admit, but we’re not exactly dealing with Neil Armstrong here, are we? Maybe we could get him a tape on ‘Doing Up Shoelaces’ or ‘Using Cutlery’.
If I didn’t know better I’d say old Clive was taking the …….
Jermain Defoe – using cutlery???? so he could slice through defences, and spoon the ref??? Mr Harold, I think this is a little advanced, even for our lad JD
There’s a fork off joke in there somewhere. I’m convinced of it.
as long as the aged Mr Bond soesn’t want to give him a silver service we’ll be fine
Defoe has spent 6 years at the club, has it only now occurred to him that he has access to footage of one of the best finishers to ever have graced the game?
Stupid useless cunt!
dont be shy, tell us what you really think – though this may be best in mime if you want to grab JD’s attention
JD imagine the scenario.
Wolves at the door
What do you? …. NO! not kitty, kitty. Get out the bleeding Colt 45 you dimfeck
Errr this news is old, Defoe spoke of this about 4 wks ago.
Perhaps you need to get in touch with the Standard then, old girl.
End of the day, game may have changed but you can’t knock his finishing (JG). Just wanna see Defoe start banging some in.. Must say i can’t wait for the rest of the season now with all our players coming back, especially defensively, great timing :-)
