Some Credible Thoughts On Another Fine Mess

So Manchester United grind out three points. We’re incapable of grinding coffee beans.

West Brom? Sorry to be awfully disrespectful, but this is the side that thought they’d won the lottery when landing Uncle Woy as their supremo.

Believe it or not I stand by Redschnapps. Those amongst you who revel in stats can investigate but he’s worked miracles. He has his limitations but who amongst us doesn’t? As I recall Stephen Fry’s ‘flawed genius’ speech on Cooky.My beef is with the players.

I don’t see much merit in ripping into anyone specifically. But the Tottenham Malaise is still there, still blighting any chances of genuinely advancing as a team, as a club. Gomes is apparently a clown and some wouldn’t send him for a paper.

Gomes is a decent goalkeeper. But I tell you this; you put Van der Sar in a Spurs shirt and watch him haemorrhage goals. There isn’t a keeper in the world that performs well in front of a conveyor belt of defenders. There isn’t a keeper in the world who’s confidence and self belief are impervious to foul ups. It’s a vicious circle and the sooner King & Woodgate are suitably replaced the better.

Our midfield has some absolute quality in it’s number. But Modders is a gem, Rafa a gift, but Bale needs to adapt his game. He’s become a household name and ought not be surprised that people are developing a strategy to nullify him.

Sandro must be encouraged to stamp his mark on proceedings. We’ve been whining on for a dog’s age about a ‘Roy Keane’ type. Pssst wanna know a secret? We’ve got one and his name is Sandro.

Up front I’m swimming against the tide with many of you perhaps. I wouldn’t flog Defoe and 3MP, I’d pop them into one of those charity bags that come through the door and leave them on the curb outside The Lane. Harsh? Neither have scored remotely enough goals. Forget Pete’s one that got us in the Champions League, he took that back when he demanded a red card against Real.

Drawing indoors to West Brom simply isn’t on. If Chelsea don’t wallop West Ham there will be tears before bedtime in the Hotspur caravanette tonight.

Here’s some clips:

    You’re talking shit H, Redknapp bought that laughing stock that is our front line. We’ll finish 6th, also rans again

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      I frequently do old girl, but why do we smash good teams and act like cads against WBA???

      Come on…

    manager needs to be stronger. he was upset that van der vaart was going down the tunnel when substituted and said he wouls speak with him. well he has not substituted him since. he is a luxury and i do not think he shd be played with two out and out strikers. he second goal for the baggies came from his man. he did not defend tottenham’s right side once today, and he was spent with 20 minutes to go, totally spent.
    he scored a great goal on wedn but dont forget he was tracking nasri two second before nasri scored and just gave up on it. he is a great player, but a luxury and he cannot be in midfield, he leaves his post and we get overrun.

    • LosLorenzo says:

      Actually, he substituted him in the first game back from international break. Van made a big deal of hugging Harry with a big cheeky grin on both of their faces. There’s no problem there.

    • LosLorenzo says:

      Agree that he gives the fullback a lot to do when on the wing.

  • Kluffah Yid says:

    Our ‘strike force’TM leave a lot to be desired.

    Gomes is not our biggest problem.

    You talk about malaise and I point to the head. I think Redknapp isn’t top three material so he’s not gonna get fourth every year…

  • Wowsers says:

    Harry should resign and go and manage England this summer. His constant irreverence and smirks to the camera after spurs screw up is absurd. He is so obsessed with appearing like a “gent” to the FA he has lost all focus.

    When spurs have just thrown away Europe havin held a lead i want to see him breathing fire not shrugging his shoulders. He clearly does not give a flying pigs poo about the CL next season. As far as he is concerned, he did the impossible last season and now he can’t be expected to compete because man city are billionaires now.

    The worst thing about this is that it is rubbing off on the players. They all believe they are fifth best. They didn’t believe they could win against real and they don’t believe that they are good enough to get fourth.

  • abe says:

    I agree on The comment re vdv. Playing him on the right leaves us very exposed. Just before the goal, brunt had a really good chance. He is a good attacking threat but leaves us exposed. West brom regularly came attacking down that flank to take advantage
