There Is A Light

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.

    Its almost the middle of July and I haven’t heard a peep about Klaas-Jan Huntelaar or Rutgerus Johannes Martinus “Rude boy” van Nistelrooy.

    How will we survive without the News of the World?

    ah 4-5-1, memories of pleat and his 86-87 side and c.allen scoring for fun. now they’re all at it tho some call it 4-3-3 when it’s not really. the same season that graham ‘mr tottenham’ roberts fked off to rangers for the cash, pot kettle black.

      A tad unfair on Mr Roberts who was being royally shafted by Pleat and had little choice but to move on. That was Pleat’s fault and our loss.

    This site does annoy me, it does feel you write blogs for the sake of writing a blog

    well loose modric last minute to balance the books
    we have no money to buy anyone
    we might shift a couple ie palacious and maybe keane
    we might bring in one or two maybe a defender and another midfield but no one any good really
    cant see any big name striker happening
    well be stuck with most of the deadwood ie bentley,jenas,bassong,prob hutton too
    we cant afford players as we need a stadium
    we have to run as a business
    we have to work with what weve got
    gomes/brad
    walker dawson gallas bae
    lennon sandro huddleston bale
    vdv pav/crouch/gio/defoe
    thats it
