Good morning. Is this the calm after the storm or before it? I do like a good shipping forecast.
Reading between the lines from Arry the cosy chat betwixt the Croat and the Chairman rather left old Modders in a state of shock. Deflated and emotionally done in.
All I can say to that is, ‘ Ah diddums.’
He appears to have genuinely thought that this is how you do things over here. To a certain degree he was right, of course. But to attempt what he was attempting with a shade under 5 years on his contract was …well, ambitious.
Just like little Luka, I don’t understand quite how footballer’s contracts work. But I’d imagine that signing one and then saying you’ve changed your mind a few months down the line is akin to buying say a house for cash – and then tracking down the vendor 6 months later – and saying you don’t want it any more. Gone off it.
I would imagine Cheatski’s offer to triple his wages would have come as small comfort to him if he was liable to recompense Levy & Co for the remainder of the term. Ball park 233 weeks @£60k pwk = £13,980000. Ouch.
Elsewhere we have a quote from Citizen Redschnapps in relation to our old mucker PSB. Apparently he’s very much still in the mix at The Lane. Lucky us. Translated that’s nobody will accept a fiver to take him away. I’ve been accused of being conveniently forgetful about the good works that Blistering Bob did for us. And it’s true. I don’t dent it.
But the last straw for me was when he was at Celtic and was asked what his next move was and with a completely straight face he replied, ‘Oi have a contract wid Tottingham.’ With this streak of shamelessness perhaps he could get a job in Starbucks. Their always looking for people who can ask £6 for a coffee and a muffin without corpsing.
Elsewhere the ITK’s have run aground. Their finely honed attention seeking radars know we need succour for the weekend and so they can’t simply say nothing. So Leandro’s name has been regurgitated once more.
On that note, I know it’s July but don’t forget a coat this weekend, you may well need it. Oh yes, the video below is good if you like Cleese.
Its got to the stage now that whenever he pops up on SKy Sports with a mic in front of him I can picture Chas and Dave standing behind him singing ‘Rabbit Rabbit’ acapella.
On a side note, after seeing his latest SSN interview, I can’t believe I’ve only just noticed his remarkable resemblance to Frankie Howard, titter ye not!
it takes a fair bit to get me really riled but FFS, when we are struggling to get rid of the deadwood that we have why the F@&k give Alnwick a contract extension? He’s not good enough. Clearly nobody has confidence in the lad hence why we had to bring Stipe to sit on the bench instead of him.
Complacent bullshit. get rid, move on. Grrrr!
I was also quite amazed at this. He was bought in as someone who was a amazing top young keeper and just slid further and further from the first team, and yet now we have three excellent keeper and hand Alwick another, I also dont get why Alnwick would actually sing it himself!! He seemed to be full of his own ability when he joined sounds like his lowered his expectations :\
Luca’s depressed! well, aren’t we all after returning to work after a holiday.At least he’s becoming more Anglicized! As for Harry, of course he’ll rabbit on about the potential earnings Luca’s missing out on, that’s his life blood and only motivation in life.
I still can’t get my head around it when i hear things like “he’s only on £40,000 a week” look at all them fucking 0’s.Its about time these greedy pampered shits look at what they have and thank whoever for their life
I had to laugh when VDV was talking about Modric “Its not about the money” he said, do these players take us for mugs or what?
He’s got 5 years left on his contract, if he wants a move to Chelsea then put in a bloody transfer request, oh he won’t as he wants Spurs to sell him AND keep his 10% contract bonus! The game will eat itself with all this greed.
If it wasn’t for my love of Spurs i wouldn’t bother with football today, the competitive edge has gone.
