Guten Ahbend.
I can say this in jest you see only because of the actions of those who were cut in half by machine gun fire, choked by mustard gas, blown to smithereens or disemboweled by bayonet. Blimey Aitch, tad heavy for a Saturday night, old man…
Well, I tell you this: I just enjoyed a cracking firework show on the Stray in Harrogate. And that was a show! But before I left the house I made sure I had my Poppy on. Then I get home and get a Tweet from a chap – regular or and indeed occasional readers – may recall. Remember a chap by the name of ‘This Is Sammy’?
Well he wrote a superb piece which I was very happy to run out on this blog about the whole David Baddiel fiasco which was HERE.
Well Sammy has unsurprisingly hit another bulls-eye with a piece about ‘the Poppy’ and FIFA which is lengthy and so I would ask you to click HERE.
You know me, I can be an intolerant/flippant git. But stuff like this is important. I hope you afforded it a minute or two and enjoy a great read about a deeply important subject.
And you can let ’em know how you feel! http://www.fifa.com/contact/form.html
the real issue here though is the tactical ineptitude of the coaches, the substitutions were absolutely ridiculous, we have great spells in games because we have great players but we dont often control them, we were two nil up yesterday and still wide open and a man down in midfield four to their five – we were getting murdered in midfield so they bring defoe on – frightening abs frightening.
Its so obvious. We won that game because we have belief. something we have lacked before. You make your own luck and we are doing that.There was nothing wrong with how we won yesterday and it just sounds like some of you are not actually used to winning or being winners…
I dont mean that to insult but this is how teams win games. they outscore the opponent. When you look back in 3 months time on the result alone, you dont care how it was won..but it was won.
Any battle in war is won ugly, but the winners are the ones who are glorified. Glory glory Tottenham!
