Good evening, fight fans.
Clarity, common sense and a sense of good will. Never ever achieved any of those goals myself you understand, but I’m passionate about these ideals being pursued. This evening’s blogs are a Win/Win for everyone. Or your price of admission refunded in full.
You are the most important factors in this whole NDP process. After all, you support. You live, you love, you make this football club work.
This whole stadium business has got messy. That was inevitable of course. Factions were bound to appear. The good news is We Are N17 have disbanded.
I received confirmation via a house brick through my caravanette office window earlier this afternoon. The note attached to the brick read:
” We the brick hurlers [outside your gaff] hereby wish to formerly announce that we hate you HH. We hate your mate Levy, we hate all the players, we hate fans that don’t live in N17, we hate the fans who claim to be anyway as ‘true’ or ‘real’ as we are. Chancers.
We hate the very idea that common sense might prevail. We hate the idea of cogent thought. Our sole ambition is to hate, occasionally pausing to sneer.
That said, even people as crazily belligerent and half witted as us know when the jig is finally up. In light of the utter contempt we have engendered from in the bulk of intelligent supporters who bathe regularly and are not clinically obese we have decided to roll up our bed sheet and naff off. Permanently.
We would appreciate it if you could make it public that we have at last jacked it in and no longer wish to exist as a Luddite gang of unelected bullies spouting unhelpful bile.”
So that’s that. I have another announcement a little later but that sets the scene perfectly.
More soon.
Tottenham Hotspur have signed the Ivory Coast youth international Souleymane Coulibaly. The club announced on Monday that the 16-year-old striker has moved to White Hart Lane, having previously played for the Italian club Siena’s youth team.
Coulibaly was a big success at the Under-17 World Cup, where he scored nine goals in four games. Details of the move from Siena, and Coulibaly’s Spurs contract, have not been revealed.
Tottenham said: “We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Souleymane Coulibaly to join the club.”
Coulibaly did not make a first-team appearance for Siena but he shone at the Under-17 World Cup in Mexico last month. He scored four goals against Denmark and a hat-trick against Brazil as the Ivory Coast reached the last 16, where they were knocked out by France. Coulibaly’s goal haul equalled a tournament record which was set by France’s Florent Sinama Pongolle 10 years ago.
Coulibaly’s playing style has led to the teenager being likened to the Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, a fellow Ivorian, and he was linked with moves to many of Europe’s leading clubs, including Real Madrid, after his stunning run of goalscoring.
Lots of sheets (17 in fact) to the wind as they seem to be blowing no good…. Anyway the NEW young guy Souleymane is more than likely to feature in the “Nextgen Series” (U19) european league. Spurs look like they are building a strong squad and are obviously taking this league very seriously. I reckon if THFC win the first ever of this new league we will have an excellent chance of picking up talented youngsters from around the globe in the future and this would all tie in nicely with the world class academy that is underway at Bulls Cross. and in 2-3 years time most of Spurs squad may be home grown…
..and ripe for picking. :-(
….for a nice profit of course.

IF Souley was an outstanding talent he would be at one of the top four here or in europe.
So would VdV Bale Modric Sandro etc., guess we have to settle for the leftovers…
