I’m not talking about a faulty fridge here. Or the front of an oncoming train. I was taking my annual shower this morning. The acoustics c/o the Italian marble are tip top by the way. And The Waterboys My Dark Side was channeled. Well I told you it was a year since my last foray.
‘I’ve been hurt, but I’m alright because underneath, there is a light.’
Whatever transpires in the next days or perhaps even hours – if we are lucky to get a quick kill – it’s important to retain a sense of perspective. It hurts like hell when you make an emotional attachment to something and it blows up in your face. I say you’re a liar if you say otherwise. You’re not impervious to the pain. Nobody is. We’re only ever working on that.
The sense of impending doom looming over this whole Modric business has left me feeling decidedly and understandably disenchanted with all things football shaped. Like Basil Fawlty on his last legs. ‘What is the point, Polly? I mean, what is the point?’
Players come and go. It’s worse now than it ever was. But it’s always been that way.
That said, there is a light. It’s a tad dim right now. But it’s a pilot light that does not go out. It’s a frequently flickering flame but one that you don’t need the freephone number Timothy Spall’s artificially dusky tones emit from every telly and radio. British Gaaaaaaaas.
Here are a couple of videos to help you get your appetite back courtesy of … twistedbutlogical. Take one daily and see how you feel after a day or two.
09/10… what a fantastic season! :-D
Oh to be back in the days when our strikers had guile, flair, speed and accuracy… and could hit a barn door from 2 paces…
I think I only counted 2 penalties scored though, shocking!
But wow, what great memories. Nice one HH :-)
Thought you were going to break a bit of The Smiths there H – lyrics are probably as apt
Harry in a coma
Bigmouth Strikes Again (Redknap)
…or, Bigmouth Striker Again (Defoe)
WestStand in a Coma
Panic (in the stands at Tottenham)
This charming man (Levy)
The boy with the thorn in his side, foot, ankle, knee, elbow, etc (Bale)
Heaven knows I’m miserable now (Ratface)
There is a light that never goes out – THFC, COYS!!!
Jewish blood,Engish heart(Levy)
Somewhat ironic how “Panic” was actually recorded in a studio down the street from the stadium in Wood Green? And how we’re all in anxious about what’ll happen before September 1st? :unsure:
Can I also commend Mr H. Hotspur of Totterington Towers for his choice of pic. Anita Harris in that nurses uniform. Mmmm.
Still not as sexy as Dick Emery in his “Hello Honky Tonk” outfit. :ninja:
Now you’re talking! You are awful, But…
:blink:
At the moment light for = a) get as much for the little twat as possible, and b) makes sure it isn’t from Chelsea. I don’t think we’ll miss him as a player – no one is indispenible. We have enough talent in Krankie, VdV, Lennon, Bale, Hudd, Sandro so fuck ‘im.
Can I also, also just say, well done Corinthians on showing the Russian gangster how to put in a bid. €40m opening salvo for Tevez. Leaves no doubt of their intention, challenges the club to think about it’s position and puts the bidder in a position of authority.
None of this skulking around with drinks on yachts and £2m of ‘performance bonuses’. Performance bonues? FFS, the guy is supposed to want to sign for you for guaranteed success and you’re talking about performance bonuses??? Am I the only one who gets the irony of that!!!!
Here here
there there
I ain’t crying
I am
There there
Was tempted with a Here here. But i think you win!
Tevez has been using the ‘closer to my family’ reasoning to leave City, now lets see if he actually wants to be closer to them in an inferior league on less money!
All this posturing could simply be an attempt to derail any potential threat from us to them? By creating disharmony among our ranks, it’s a way of deflecting the damage RA has inflicted to his own club. If they truly wanted Modric then surely a sensible bid, made in good faith would’ve been lodged. But to make a derisory bid, followed by a supposedly ridiculous one which could only accept if our esteemed leader knew Luca’s legs were due for amputation!
