Good evening.
Maison Hotspur hasn’t a spare vase, jam jar or fluted pint glass so thank you to those who threw flowers after this morning’s matinee.
What does make a real difference to proceedings is when you encounter a footballer who doesn’t get your goat. Maybe A&E is out there spending £4M on a house and having a full blown hairdressing salon installed – at least he has the gumption to keep it under wraps – as he knows the only men who could have ever let that information fall into the public domain and lived it down were Liberace and David Coverdale (c.1987).
No, old A&E deserves our praise. In a frank interview a while back he revealed that football is just a job to him. He owns a car, but also an Oyster Card. And now we get quotes far too many players seem unable to spit out.
“Like I said, I don’t want to move to another club. If I have a good feeling with my chairman I will stay. I don’t have a reason to move, even to play in the Champions League, we can do it with Spurs. We have done it once already, so why not again?”
Now I’m not getting misty eyed because he’s staying, although that’s just dandy by me. I’m genuinely impressed because here is a very honest and decent human being who actually acknowledges that he is part of the situation. We have done it once already. so why not again?
This is what we are after. Something a bit more considered than, “I like go play Chelsea big club.” Or whatever the snake oil quotes from Modders were.
Here, boys and girls is a man prepared to share the previous success and the burden of the task ahead. He acknowledges he was part of the achievement and be default part of the failure to replicate it. But he wants to go on. Not bail.
A&E we salute you.
Benni’s improved concentration has turned him in to a very competent ingredient of our team and his loyalty is refreshing.
I salute him
misguided one – no-one is after him. let’s see his loyalty when a real offer of bigger wages comes in. he has already told everyone ‘its just a job.’
Come on Boris. Let us dream, just for a minute.
PSG have been linked with him. He was asked about it and said he didn’t want to leave.
He probably thought his interviewer said ‘PSB’ and panicked.
This article is a plugging for ” Benni Unplugged”. Could that be the Chairmans cheque book pocket that he is having a good feel of
I remember as a kid having to sit down and watch Liverarce on the only black and white tv in the street with all the other kids waiting for The little Rascals to come on after him.Always thought then there was something queer about him,now I know why,gave me the creeps.couple of years later I was celebrating the double. :daumen:
