Good afternoon.
Now the Stoke game is confirmed as on we can and indeed ought make a welcome return to focusing on football.
I remember when I first discovered Woody Allen. A few live recordings of his stand up and then ‘Without Feathers’. Anyway there was a sketch about a ransom demand and his father’s very poor reading habits.
Today …I discovered a London Evening Standard interview with Henry James Redknapp, footballing supremo of this parish published some 3 days ago. ”Harry Hotspur for the best reheated leftovers this side of Stone Henge.’
“Finishing top four is not a must [to keep those players],” said Redknapp. “If Arsenal don’t get in the top four, are their best players going to leave? If Chelsea don’t, will their best players walk away?
Is this clown out of his tiny cockle & whelk slurping mind? I’m no expert in these matters but is he actually for real? Modric is a man overboard just waiting to happen. Bale who we all love is only human a footballer after all and if the right offer came in from someone else – in addition to Arry – who didn’t give a monkey’s about his dreadful license to roam vision, who’s to say that not being a Champions League side wouldn’t have a baring?
I find it staggering that our manager, in fact any decent Premiership manager would come out with such self serving twaddle. Ian Holloway, yes. But to the best of my knowledge Ian Holloway and Henry James Redknapp are two separate people.
I’d be fascinated to get Levy & Co’s view on this. The impact of Champions League football on THFC’s revenue streams, the revenue streams that are pivotal to the new stadium don’t need spelling out.
Is this unfair criticism? Is he right? Is securing a top four finish a mere trifle? Is it a supermarket own brand trifle, all bovine gelatine, artificial flavourings and a some genetically modified custard substitute? Maybe he’s right. Maybe upon considered reflection the notion that Champions League football is nothing to get too fussed about is a fair viewpoint.
His press officer needs to teach him the words “We are focusing on third place and nothing else”. I get slated from friends saying I want him out, but I equally laugh at them thinking he is the messiah!! We have progressed under him but he has taken us as far as he can, time to move on.

Roger that Stubarney.
Yes MS great news about Fabrice, our prayers have been answered.
How ridiculous to have an FA gagging order on PL managers talking about Harry for England when the only manager who is doing the talking is Redknapp himself, 19 other managers are mute on the subject. Just Saying.
#1….Danny Blanchflower.
Assuming Bolton decide to continue in the Cup, my reading of the abandoned match rule leads me to think the game is replayed from the start, not resumed from when it was halted. Is this correct?
correct
Cheers
I think it has to last 65mins to be ‘re-started’.
*That’s what she said*
Sorry Harry but Steve Carrel owns that ( Tina Fey )
Dave Mackay was a defensive Half-Back, always charged with nullifying the threat of the opponents most dangerous attacker but he had a superb Left foot shot that earned Spurs points at critical times, he also had ball control second to none.
Dave scored 42 league goals for Spurs, 4 FA Cup and 5 European.
#2 Dave Mackay
But he was nearly always injured, when we played the Arse; not his fault obviously.
I have to say Mr H, I was laughing my head off, at your #prayfor.etc. But in all honestly, I am praying for beer, but no results as yet. I think Jesus said ‘blessed are the beer makes,’I’m hopeful though.
Ah, you see that is because it’s God’s will. A sub clause all praying persons need to be aware of.
Blessed are the meek. Are you sure it wasn’t the mus who said “blessed are the beer makes”.
I get the two confused regularly.
Jesus can do wine.
