Can the last fan leaving The Lane please turn the light off.
I have been frowned at by some for ‘Arry Bashing.’ So it will be interesting to see how many still in the happy clapper club want to renounce their inexplicable blind faith and join the free thinking majority.
Joe Downsy Cole. Having taken some time to reflect upon Arry’s CV I’ve reached the inevitable conclusion he is a magnificent firefighter. He knows where you can buy buckets, he’s always got a mate that’ll sell you some top top water.
But when it comes to managing a side that isn’t at death’s door he is actually revealed as being incapable of seeing beyond his innate shorttermism.
The happy clappers need to take a breath and realise that I am not ignoring his good work. I’m simply refusing to ignore increasing evidence that his judgement is not sound when out of a crisis.
His spending at Tottenham has been, within the wages constraints quite free. Certainly, outside of those Clubs with billionaire backers and money launderers behind them he has been assisted with good financial support.
He brought in Crouch and Defoe, both of who effectively flat-lined. You cannot bas an argument in support of a football based upon anything other than goals. If you do, you are a Bendtner fan.
It is easy with the luxury of hindsight to say that Suarez would have been a better bet than Defoe, but is it really hindsight given he was superb at Ajax and Liverpool and Tottingham weren’t the only ones to think so? Arry likes familiar faces and boys that speak the Queen’s.
I have suspected for some time now that Modric’s success has largely been down to the player’s naturally abiility rather than any ‘mentoring’ from Arry. This explains why Kranjcar who is a very good player has not been mentored, not been improved. As with Pav who anecdotally we are told was asked to, ‘run about a bit.’
The willingness to accept the sale of Modric reveals him as fool who would throw antiques onto a fire to keep warm, rather than sell one or two and buy some bloody coal.
Pointy was damaged goods after Liverpool, but this didn’t stop Arry shipping him in without pausing for breath. Why we bought Pienaar I honestly still cannot fathom. Then there was the public courting of Scott Parker. Here is a guy that Chelsea once bought, much in the manner they bought SWP in order to prevent to anyone else doing so.
By the time Parker caught anyone’s eye again he was an aging, bustler with at best 70 minutes in the tank. And thanks to the Porn Barons an expensive player.
And so to Joe Cole. A man that got an even bigger squeeze than Pointy did from LFC as when they took him in, he wasn’t even able to make his then current sides first team.
And now we, the mighty Tottingham are officially in for him.
I could weep.
gooners made it,they haven’t got a squad for the league,cups and europe unless i’m missing something,at the least the gooners no they won’t even be competing this year,its the little things

Iain Dale makes Karren Brady appear rational, sophisticated and intelligent, and most tabloid journalists look as if they care about their profession.
I suspect he learned his skills at the Joseph Goebbels Academy.
An example of his logic, he states Boris Johnson has given us £8 mill (not yet he hasn’t) but we should not get this because we are going to get £30 mill for LM.
Of course we got him for free (well £16.5 mill but whose counting), and we will only need £40 mill to replace him.
He claims that we have no interest in playing at the OS, and this was always a scam on our part to extort money from Johnson. He fails to explain how Spurs could plan many months ago, to extort money from a fund that only came into existence as a result of the riots.
Some of you may recall, the warnings of riots made by Sulliedman. Now I don’t want to start conspiracy theories, but I think there is enough evidence for Plod to examine all the CCTV just to see if the smuutty boys were in the Tottenham area at the time of the riots!
I rather suspect that close examination might place them in the vicinity of our ticket office when it was being trashed.
It’s also interesting to read that Levy offered to drop the OS review if WHU dropped their case against us.

Is that true. I have my doubts.
Why would DL go ahead with the case yesterday, if he was trying to shut it down?
Supposing that there is foundation to this, if the PI’s say “yes, DL told us to do it”, it’s ‘accomplice evidence’ which is rarly accepted without corroboration.
Personally, I’d like to see the so-called document.
Don’t know whether it’s true or not, but it’s on their official (caravan) site.
“In response to media inquiries, we can confirm that West Ham today received a document from Tottenham asking us to give up our claims against them in relation to the above, in return for Tottenham withdrawing their judicial review proceedings. West Ham naturally refused.”

Maybe Redknapp isn’t the only one worried about a bit of bird – they could share a cell.
Imagine being locked up with rent-a-gob!
“We look forward to the 18 October and a successful conclusion whereby we can deliver the multi-sport legacy that Lord Coe envisaged for east London and the rest of the nation.”
This from the moral high ground of the pornographers.

ITKs saying Diarra to Scum
Arrrggggghhhhhhh
Diarra himself denied he’s coming here in AS.
“Information about my departure is a lie. There is no agreement with Tottenham and I don’t think there will be.”
BTW, Marca which suggested the deal was done, is usually full of shite.
Where’s the other ex-scum?
POTL – What happened Mr Smug?
“Keep getting asked for updates on this.
Nothing to say, that hasn’t already.
He’s Spurs. End of.
