Good morning.
I was looking forward to last night. Judging by the size of the crowd at The Lane I was not alone in my enthusiasm. Judging but the largely silent home support and mass exodus before the final whistle I wasn’t alone in being bored senseless by the first stage production of SNES’ Sensible Soccer On Ice.
It was contemptuous of all concerned that we were served up a reserves game. I’ve only watched one before and this was pretty much identical. Chase ball at lickerty split and barely a brain cell on the premises.
I’m not anti these kids, but having them inflicted on me for a UEFA game isn’t on.
I’m partial to a fish finger sandwich. But if I go to a restaurant and am presented with one when I’ve ordered the lobster I don’t think I’m being unreasonable asking the waiter if it’s a windup.
I challenge anyone who thinks I’m being harsh to explain how the atmosphere amongst Spurs in attendance was so rank and what was with all the empty seats? Did everyone suddenly remember they left the gas on?
Hearts made seven changes themselves and can take a hit while we’re at it. They also played a second rate mob compared to the game fielded at Tynecastle. By rights, Hearts fans should be mailed a refund inc. travel etc.Their only saving grace was the fact they we also ran out our Clearasil Kids.
You want player ratings? Everyone gets a solid 1 for managing to put their shirts on the right way round. I’d rather eat photocopier toner than watch another game like that. Unmitigated toss.
I wasn’t there cos I’m away this week, but no-one bought my seat on the ticket exchange… I think I saw a jock sitting there.
He’d better not have eaten the chewing gum I’ve been working on for the last five seasons…
If he’s given it a good chewing and put it back I’ll be fine.
The kids weren’t great but it was good to see them step up and hopefully it’ll do ’em good. However when a bunch of rookies look a class act compared to their ‘full international’ team mates something if definitely amiss!
Pav was pony
Bassong was poo
Thudd looks lethargic
And corluka does too
I’m a big fan of Tommy Thudd. Hope he’s back to his best sooner rather than later!
COYS
Thudd’s just short of match fitness is all. He’ll have benefitted enormously from last night’s run out.
Glad to read this; I thought it was garbage but imagined that there would be cute excuses here. Carroll looks a prospect, Huddlestone doesn’t. It needed one big figure to pull it together and there wasn’t one – and Pav, he’s RUSSIA’s centre-forward ffs. With Ade smiling away in the stands was he trying to commit suicide? Does this mean that in a country with 200 million people there isn’t someone who can’t kick a ball towards a goal? Sunday frightens me, it really does.
Harry I think that you are being very rude saying that.”barely a brain cell on the premises”. The kids cannot help that they selected football as a career, or that some Chump picked them to against Hearts. Your other points are valid, as we don’t have a reseve team.
