Groundhog Day

Good Groundhog Day.

Where doe one start? Is it a blip? Is it is a the business end of the season suddenly sharpening the previously blunted knives, hatchets and broadswords of the opposition?

I’ve made my views clear on this endlessly and it’s so flippin’ obvious what the problem is I’m typing this like it’s something I’ve been practicing and fine tuning for weeks. I’ve also made the point, the serious point that it gives me no pleasure whatsoever to state how I feel.

Redschnapp’s has worked wonders. I wholly agree. I’m grateful. But that does not give him immunity from criticism. Again, for the umpteenth time, when I wrote the, ‘Gareth Bale The Ego Has Landed’ piece with a few notable exceptions I was told to roll it up and insert it in the orifice of mu choice.

The jig was officially declared in the last 20 minutes of yesterday’s game when the away supporters began singing ‘Gareth Bale, He Plays On The Left.’ I want to interject here that this chant must surely go down as the politest in sporting history.

In relation to an end to this misery; the FA like any confused and contrary child have stropped off saying that they will make their mind up when they feel like it and if anyone talks about them while they’re gone then that will make them very very angry indeed and everyone will be in trouble.

Arry is not managing the side any more. I’d be fascinated to hear a coherent counter argument. He said under oath he was, ‘a fantastic football manager’. I’ve witnessed several fantastic football managers in action in my time and I’ve never heard a the supporters reduced to singing postional tips to them before.

I hope we finish third, or even fourth or make it o the FA Cup Final. But again as I said earlier in the week, I truly wonder what we’ll actually do with any of this achievements. 

I got you babe.

I need to finish some stuff for Hotspur’s Half Hour or ODM is going to up his hate mail rate. So analysis and ratings later on.
