Good morning.
We moan about the InterLull, but it’s actually been quite eventful. We discovered that football is Clan run and …I was told to remove my blog on those leaked online documents on Arry & the CPS by the Metropolitan Police.
Undaunted, here’s some more dirt for your delectation.
Karren Brady has been banging the hard done by drum with gusto for sometime now. But events in the High Court this week indicate that she may have something to complain about. Brady’s barristers believe that her telephone records were, ‘unlawfully obtained by subterfuge.’
At a time where phone hacking is revealed as having been quite commonplace and 100% distasteful – as well as completely illegal – the public reaction toward this type of behaviour if proved, won’t be good. Nor ought it. Tottenham need to come out of swinging here and distance themselves from activity that might place them in the public mind as feeding from the same trough as West Ham.
Tottenham appear to have smelt a rat in relation to the OS deal and engaged the services of PKF Forensic Accountants. What do they do for a living? Their site is here and so you can draw your own conclusions.
I can cope with a bit of rooting through dustbins, after all nobody’s very likely to phone you up out of the blue and tell you that they are up to no good. But this has all the hallmarks of something deeply unpleasant. West Ham have despite their poker faces been embarrassed by the revelation that – shall we say – the process’ waters were muddied. But does that give anyone who’s interested a green light to break the law? All we know so far is that 2 people were arrested in connection allegations of fraud/spying and both bailed.
Neither Tottenham nor their agents can hide behind a defence of, ‘yeah, but look what we found’ in this matter. Equally it will get very messy very quickly if the finger is pointing an accusing finger at PKF and suggesting that they overstepped the mark. This undoubtedly a shadowy world we’re getting a glimpse of here. The case continues…
This whole thing is really starting to leave a bitter taste in the mouth now, and personally speaking it’s all over a stadium that I want nothing to do with.
If we end up having to pay ANY money to the Spammers in compo when it could have gone towards better causes (ie repainting the spaces in the staff car park) then I for one will be very pissed off!!
Could do without the distraction of this case and also HR trial on the 23-01-2012.
The 2 cases so close together make us look a bit grubby.
This weekends fixtures look really interesting and if they go our way and we win we should be in a great position.
As a lifetime supporter, still expecting the wheels to fall off at any moment but appears we have few injury problems for Monday’s game and we should have too much for Villa.
This time the wheels wont fall off ,we have the right parts put in by some good mechanics.
FIFA Headquarters – Nuremburg c.1946:
“M’Lord notwithstanding the rendering and execution of some 6 million persons or Slavic, Gypsy and Jewish origins, our clients contend that they were spied upon in clear contravention of the Coe-Ovett treaty of 1936.
M’Lord we seek permission to speak to and prosecute the allied armies and would request your Lordship to allow our clients to
lie through their teethspeak freely to the Daily Mail and other gutter level media.We submit M’Lord the matter of the alleged 6 million murders must not take precedence over this serious legal issue. How can my clients be seen as wrongdoers when the very evidence of mass graves and skeletal survivors is only known because the Allies ‘illegally’ trespasses and stolen execution scheduling books.
M’Lord, I further draw your attention to a submission from Herr Blatter, submitting evidence as friend of the court, that cuts to the heart of the matter which might save substantial amounts of the the court’s time.
It is his contention that things that happen on the battlefield and in such far flung places as Belsen and Auswich, have occured on “the field of play”, as per the rulings in the High Court in the cases of Napoleon Vs Wellington 1815 and Custer Vs Sitting Bull 1876.
Perceived injuries, which my client alleges do not actually exist, may be remedied with handshakes all round and a subsequent adjournment for schnapps and the accepting of bribes.
Meanwhile M’Lord the gentlemen in the grey uniforms before you, wish me to remind you that without a running track our very own
Tokyo SexwaleJeesie Owens could not have dazzled the world as he did: clearly there is a better use of the Nuremburg facility than holding meaningless trials?We wish at this poiont to enter into evidence pictures of my clients standing next to prominent Jewish people, here is one of Herr Blatter, showing off his new Luger and here is another of Oberschtumbanfuhrer Terry having a joke with a rather swarthy looking person.
M’Lord I wish to close with the following.
Racism, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity impropriety in public tenders? Surely these things are a living, bretahing part of our way of life. I draw your Lordships attention to Parliament, the Lords, the FA, FIFA: great institutions, built upon corruption, incompetence and inequality. By decrying the corruption of the bidding processes, by decrying racism, are we not decrying the very principles upon which our governing bodies are built?
V.Funny and V. Clever.
Exceptional piece of work which should be carved into stone and placed on a plaque outside FIFA headquarters…..I salute you Finn :daumen:
Tip top Finn boy.
I would go so far as to say ‘tippy toppy’. It’s like tip top played by barcelona.
Class :daumen:
so the old bill came a knockin did they H? I hope you asked them if their heads went all the way up their helmets…..
:-D
Wonderful, Finn. Thank you.
