All Stoked Up & Ready To Blow

Good awning. 

With the weather as unpredictable as it has demonstrated itself to be of late a stout piece of reliable tarpaulin may prove itself invaluable.

And then there was Stoke. 

The first question in any interrogation is to the questioner who needs to ask his or herself (ooh stop, it’s not lunchtime yet) how important the matter is.  The much ‘debated’ issue of fielding children over adults has been somewhat at the fore on here of late.

Stoke were put up as prime example of  a side that caught out, spreading themselves too thinly. By contrast, BMJ’s Fulham by stark contrast proved that offering up your first team need not necessarily court disaster as they drew with FC Twente and then pulled off a historic draw against the free scoring and merciless Manchester City.

So who will play? Stoke are neither a bunch of well meaning sweaties, nor a shower of faceless Greeks. 

Judging by Arry’s latest comments what we will get is something between the first team and the yoofsters. Gomes, Pav, VdV, Dos Santos and presumably anyone else Arry can’t reach using the power of …trifficness.

Prediction?

Minus PNB and Ade we will struggle. This isn’t at all me being Mr MiseryGuts, rather me being Mr OpinionBasedOnHowWeWhereBeforeTheyLanded so 0-0.

I’d be fascinated to know why Steve Perryman has only just be inducted into the Hall of Fame? Is there really a probation period in which you mustn’t dis da club?

    Thought it had to be settled on the night?

    “The Club can confirm that the S106 agreement in respect of the Northumberland Development Project has now been completed and planning permissions have been issued.

    This enables discussions with the London Borough of Haringey, the Mayor of London and Central Government to continue as we seek to make the development viable and deliverable.

    As always, we shall keep all our supporters updated as these progress.”

    Can I have it delivered after 6? I’m supposed to be working until 5.

    Good news.

    pathe nickname is v funny, he does look like he should be in an ITV mini series about a cockney who breaks his girlfriend’s heart by going off to fight in the Somme. And maybe has a bit of “thing” with his lance corporal in the trenches..or should that be his corporal’s lance..anyway i digress.
    what a signing – 5m we mugged off the muppets from stratford (who said they wouldn’t deal with us again) yet again and we got rid of bentley for a year as well, and i bet he’ll do less than keano did for them last season lol lol.
    think we’ll win tonight, pullis will play a weakened side. i.e. Crouch & Wilson should start hehe. 20m for those 2 – unbelievable.

      Ah but is that really £20 million or another of HR’s ’rounding errors’? He has the same approach to numbers as he does to tactical instruction – ie he just tells them to run around a bit. Whatever’s left standing when the music stops is the answer (unless you’re from the Inland Revenue of course…)

      Agent Bentley has infiltrated the hierarchy, gained their trust, secured a position on the team and has begun Operation Costly Misses…he is carrying on Agent Keane’s fine work. :ninja:

      • Essexian76 says:

        Agent Bentley indeed, Ha! with that hooter, he stands out a mile. At least Keano ran about a bit and pointed a lot thus endearing himself with the ‘Academy’ before laughing all the way to the Bank of America.
        That always tickles me ‘Academy’..then again; I guess any type of institution could be called that.

      The spam had a result in the High Court yesterday, delaying Basildon Councils attempts to expell them from their Dale Farm ‘training camp’ ;-) :whistle:

      • Essexian76 says:

        Hey, that’s very close to home, I’ve spotted Ray Parlour leaving the area with a trail of horseshit behind him, closely followed by Alan Smith who was only repeating it!

        • devonshirespur says:

          I cannot stand Alan Smith and am gutted I have to listen to his wong pwonunciation of words on FIFA 12 and Sky Sports.

  • JamieSpurs says:

    the TRIFFIC TOTTENHAM forum usually has a STREAMS section in which it posts all the known and working streams around about kick off
