Sunday Sermon

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?”

    You missed the bit where Harry goes on about how hard it’s going to be to get back into the top four.

    Do you think he’s trying to piss Levy off enough to sack him?

    • essexian76 says:

      I think Levy’s waiting for a certain verdict.Whether HR comes away with a Monica on his suit or not? If it’s guilty, then the England job isn’t possible and it allows Levy to be honourable and clear of concious.If he’s stain free (ha ha), then the England job is there for the taking anyway.

  • Bobby says:

    AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!
    FF’Sake HR is really pissing me off agree with all of the above, if he can’t come out with anything possitive about our team and only about other teams i really don’t want him as our manager.
    DL please have a word with him.

  • Spurfect says:

    This bulls&*t about maybe he’s trying to put pressure on Levy, pleaseeee. get real. You really think that levy doesn’t KNOW that we need to buy good players?? You think he didn’t see the returns last year when we were in the Champions League? When he saw the TV revenue coming in and having it in his negotiations for our new sponsors and kit providers? Levy is the man who wants to make us top 4 regulars. Its he who has told the world we’re not selling our best players, he’s the one walking against the tide. Not Harry. If harry was deciding such things Modric woulda been long gone ’cause who can blame the fella’ for as much wedge as we could get.

    Just because we’ve not been there before last year does this mean that we shouldnt have been allowed in the first place? and that we shouldnt again? ‘Its just not proper is it, let the rich boys have their way’. He’s starting to sound like a TalkSport (TalkS*&t) pundit!

    harry needs to stop talking, simple as that. it should be in his contract and its a shame if it is not. it is ridiculous to be bigging up chelsea at this time. i have said it so often even i am tired of typing it but harry needs to accept that if he had motivated the team to beat two relegated sides twice last year we would have been above chelsea come the final whistle of the season. terry is a spent force, how do dawson and gallas feel reading that? harry is already getting sweet with terry for when he gets the england job. and he is already paving the way with excuses for when he screws it up; poisoned chalice indeed. i think he might be fun to have a drink with but as a person i am liking him less and less, which is a polite way to say he is annoying me more and more with his lack of character and moral strength. what odds on him getting banged up? i suppose the bookies would regard that in bad taste altho a ladbrokes fellow once told me that the only thing they are not allowed to write bets on is the lottery.

    DISAPPOINTED GA LEVY

    EXCLUSIVE Luka Modric for SN: Spurs to me before, but I do not mean to stay.

    One of the summer transfer deadline kapitalac openly spoke about wanting to go the way it is said, and President of Tottenham. Daniel Levy is arrogant acts only deepen the gap with the Croatian team

    By mid-week, enjoyed the sun and the sea to the popular Adriatic, where these days the thermometer mercury climbs above 35 degrees. In London he found a typical island climate. Temperature about 15 degrees, rain, wind. Nevertheless, about Luka Modric temperature is high, the atmosphere is hot.

    On Saturday, Modric yet answered the call and agreed to tell his view of his current situation …

    – A lot has been published in the media from the meeting with President Levy, who is transferring to the public our meeting much more crooked. I keep my right to say an opinion about all this – he said Modric which we call found at the family dinner.

    Levy twisted story

    So what happened to the 40-minute get-together with the President of the Spurs?

    – I must first say that I am sincerely disappointed with the way President Levy did communicate with me. He was waiting for me cold is pretty arrogant performance has given me the knowledge that you really do not care what I say to him. I do not know why they asked, but that’s his thing. I was kind of approach only further convinced that no wrong in the decision to change the environment.

    On the one hand, it is understood his problem when he ran low ponajboljeg Tottenham player and the best profession in the last Premier League.

    – President I am reminded of our gentlemen’s agreement of last summer when we were in Dubrovnik agreed a contract extension with Tottenham. Then I talked openly with Levy that in perspective, if a concrete offer of a large team, then we will consider the offer and negotiate the best solution for all of us. The President then said “OK, we’ll sit and talk.” Now Levy to co-opt, do not want to talk to and he told me in a raunchy way that there is no chance for me to leave Tottenham …

    What does this mean a raunchy way?

    – He threatened me, if you do not accept that his club’s stance, then they will send me on a bench or stand, and we talked about the option of other team Tottenham.

    Think about Chelsea?

    – There is no doubt that Chelsea is interested in my transfer, after they sent a concrete offer from Tottenham which means that I want. I know that the new Chelsea coach said he would like to see me in his team. Of course I am flattered that my interest in this club that offers what all players dream, but it is a fight for trophies on all fronts.

    I hope the agreement

    When you actually broke it after three seasons to go from Tottenham?

    – When he first came to Chelsea’s official offer, I felt that he came that moment. It’s not me it was simply a break, not going to just like that. I talked a long time with his family and to the people whose opinions I hold, I thought, weighed, and finally realized that this epilogue was best for me and the club.

    What if Levy does not let go?

    – I have not thought about it at all because such a solution should definitely not be good for anyone. Again, I have already told the President last summer that would offer as in the case of Chelsea should find an agreement on mutual satisfaction. So I hope that you will eventually understand the situation and that we will achieve harmony and disperse in an appropriate manner.
