My increasing intolerance towards just about everything spilled out earlier this week when I harrumphed at Mde de Hotspur, ‘I really don’t like doing things I don’t like doing.’
Our tight lipped, ruddy faced supremo hasn’t been in the news much of late. So almost to compensate for this we got a tour de force from Arry in the last ever edition of the News Of The Screws. I’ve spoiled it now, but try reading the interview imaging that Modders is the one providing the quotes.
“It’s a great job. You would have to be a fool not to do a good job at Chelsea, with those players.”
“You walk into the dressing room and look around and see great players, leaders like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba.
“It would be hard to fail – they will be bang there when the trophies are handed out.”
Arry needs to be whisked in for one of those special, one to one’s that Levy so generously gave Modders. So he understands our position. I’m a realist. I’ve said it before the Tottingham faithful are a tough crowd. Possibly one of the worst. I’ve been at The Lane when we were so unhappy we couldn’t even be bothered to boo. But Arry needs to stop staring at what the person on the table next to him is eating – as he pushes his own food ruefully about his plate – and try acting like a flippin’ grown up.
Arry’s stock as a man motivator is in free fall. West Am & Pompey pal, Defoe has been a complete and utter flop. Nobody’s interested in how fab Fat Fwank is looking.
We have arguably one of our own best players in a generation feeling a tad deflated after a failed escape bid and what does the manager do? Join him in a Cheatski love in. How good life and freedom would taste on the other side of the wire. Nobody made either of them sign for us. No claims of duress have been made to the best of my knowledge.
I’m not a religious person – although I do talk to God everyday in my way – and I know for a fact; he’s told me he hates whiners. Whiners will not be inheriting the earth.
Now ex-News Of The Screws journo Neil Ashton has spent the last good few days whining. Whining that his employer has binned him. Ashton is one of several hundred people at the NOTS who was riding on the coat tails of salacious front page headlines.
Oh, I’m sorry. Am I treading on Nelly Welly’s sensibilities there? Overlooking his stellar contribution to football journalism? How terribly remiss of me. Can someone please get it touch with Brian Glanville and Hunter Davies and tell them they never existed. Thank you so much.
I’d put money on your average punter never having heard of Ashton and the bulk of the other hacks before the advent of Twitter. Given exclusive access to clubs, players and never ending supply of complimentary tea and biscuits these guys manage to churn out stuff a semi literate 12 year old could provide.
Ashton tell us he’s ‘frustrated, hurt and angry.’ I bet you are mush. Someone swiping a free drink from your hand is just as galling as having one you paid for taken.
You were working for a morally bankrupt organization that was breaking the law relentlessly in order to sell newspapers. And now you’re facing the bleak prospect of having to get a job based on your own work opposed to coining it off the back of a household name.
So the lesson of the day is that there really is little quite as dull as other people’s woes. You’re not happy, look at why and change what you’re doing. Whining about it is not only boring; it’s utterly pointless.
‘I really don’t like doing things I don’t like doing’. I said.
She replied, ‘Bless you love, have you only just noticed?”
What Levy should do is pull one of those ‘alternate versions’ effects that those hollywood blokes use on a regular basis. Drag Harry into the office, handcuffed and with a bag over his head, sit him down, remove said bag and silently display a fully realistic ‘Harry Redknapp suit’ with the tag ‘reserved for David Moyes stitched into the suit. Then warn him that he, Levy, could make Harry go away for a long, long time ,and absolutely no one would know he’d been gone. And silently whisper in Harry’s twitching ears that the new Harry wouldn’t quite be the loveable geezer he used to be, and that he would be more intimately associated with such horrific Continental things as ‘tactics’, ‘man management’, and ‘knowledge of players who aren’t named Scott/Spott/Snott/Slott Parker. Then he should menacingly hold up Upson’s severed head and smile. That should shut that fat moron right up.;)

Ah, the long and winding road. Feeling sorry about getting the boot from an organisation that shafted 6000 workers in the 80s. A nice pair of shiny cuff for Rupert when he lands to try and sort out the mess his greed has created
So, ‘Drunk Prem Ace Bonked Me Blind’ was a way of uniting communities.
Ah, thanks Dan. I thought it was just a way of selling newspapers.
Seem to be missing quite a few end quotation marks there. Never mind, the message must have filtered across.
Everyone’s going to whine about Harry and rightly so he’s becoming an embarrassment.He constantly contradicts himself,thinks we are are all mugs,his so called strong point of man management is piss poor,team selection is baffling etc whine whine whine
Really come to the end of my tether with Harry now, I am tetherless. There comes a point when your past ‘glories’ can not ride you over the new bumpy ground. Wheres the battle crys?! Drooling over whats on offer at Chelsea when your star man is wanting to go there, pulling at his leash and yelping and your going ‘ooo look at that big juicey bone over there Modders. want it dontcha. triffic’ Its not exactly helping the matter is it.
‘Being realistic’ is not something football fans ever do old matey. He keeps going on about how we’ve never been top 4 before he graced us with his presence. Well we werent far away and just because we were bottom when he took over it wasnt because we were a bottom of the prem side. We’d finished 5th already and only missed out on the top 4 a wet span because of that conveniently swept under the carpet food poisoning incident. We were only bottom after 8 games mate.
Yes Harrys done a great job, we loved 2009/2010 season. And our Champs League adventure was something to remember for years to come. But according to our glorious manager, thats it. No more. We can forget it. We had half our in the sunshine, now its time to shut up shop because our manes not down no more, and we’re not coming in.
Well I’m sorry sunshine, perhaps the reason us fans are so on your back for not finishing top 4 (when it was attainable with a little more focus) and now making excuses and talking our players out of the club, is because we’ve been waiting years to reach this level, we know how precious it is and want to try to hang on to it fighting, if we dont make it fine but we dont want our manager giving up the ghost before we’ve begun and to surrender with a whimper. Its no wonder Modders is thinking the grass is greener, because there seems to be a big grey cloud forming over the managers head.
I just realized that we only had 2 points from eight games back in 2008… WTF, Why does that stat stay in my head? Oh yeah, and Dawn French is a fat bird, as she often reminds us!
