I’ve Got The Sun In My Eyes

Good morning and welcome to 48 hours of bridging the gap between nothing happening and a game of football breaking out against Swansea City on Sunday at o’clock.

Terry Venables has obliged his old mate and engineered a, ‘where’s that letter from the FA?’ piece in The Sun. 

“I don’t see any benefit in someone coming in at the last moment with a rah-rah-rah. He has to get to know those players.”

…said Tel  whilst having being fitted for some oscelot lined slippers. Proof that this is a put up job if for an nanosecond it was thought otherwise. The whole point of Arry taking the post is that he knows the players already and he’s the greatest communicator known to man.

But today’s award for the tale that smells worse than an abandoned pet shop in high summer also goes to the old Current Bun and their, ‘City’s Sights On Modric’ article.Where Roberto Mancini is quoted as saying, 

 “Luka Modric is an outstanding footballer, a great player. He is definitely one of the best in the Premier League. 

But it is by no means easy to get him because he plays for a big club, Tottenham. It is unlikely that they would let him leave.”

I’m struggling to see where any sights were being set there. Sounds more like he was asked about the player and gave a reasonable answer that’s been rather desperately twisted.

And so to the the link with Swansea supremo, Brendan Rodgers. I get that Arry is itching to quit and I get that Rodgers has done a cracking job at Swansea, but quiet how The Sun have ignored bookmaker prices and placed the 5th ranking man first is anyone’s guess. 

Rodgers has had a terrific run with the Swans, but is he so short sighted as to bin all that and take a punt with a group of new players and moreover put his career beneath a constant microscope? I’ve only seen him a handful of times on telly, Goals on Sunday and such but he doesn’t come across as insane.

If you want a real tip, I say  George Galloway has come from out of nowhere to being a plausible front runner to succeed Citizen Redschnapps. While it will be a tough act to replace Arry, Gorgeous George would certainly tick the voracious appetite for media relations box …and given the botch job he made of Bethnal Green he won’t be in office for long …but could he match the unsparing altruism of our Arry?

    Respect…my Jewish cousins.

    Silva and Tevez for Modric, and Man City pay the salaries :-)

  • Tommy_Puddle says:

    At least they’d pay our asking price!

    Tevez and Ade plus pay their wages? Then buy Hazard and I think we’d be stronger.

    Big Big fan of George Galloway reminds me of Harry Hotspur himself, changing his opinion at every turn to try and increase his popularity. HH: “Slagging off Redknapp has lost me readers, now I am gently oozing with pride and praising harry patrolling the technical area” ture..? Dont deny it..!!BIOYC…(What does that mean..!!!)
    My take on the Modric situation is this, he is clearly Man Uniteds number 1 target and Mancini is trying to upset Fergie and Utd by saying they are interested. Modric will end up at Old trafford next year..
    As for Brendan Rodgers, not for me yet, needs more time etc, remember Phil Browns first season in the prem with Hull(finished 5th?), and where is that perma tanned spaz now..!!? In bed with HH thats where, would you like me to be the cat….? Yes, yes I would..Then get that ass in the air…

      blah blah :gaehn: :gaehn: :gaehn: :sleeping:

      Poor old Jeffers.

      Apologies for reporting stuff as I see it. If you couldn’t see the change in Redschnapps at the Chelsea game, then I can’t help you.

      I think you’re just sore over my Pleat gag at your expense yesterday :whistle:

    • Jameson says:

      Great stuff, so we’re comparing the Hull side who finished the season with 35pts & 4th from bottom to a Swansea side in the top half on 39pts with 8 to go. A side whose goals against is 36, that is less than the scummers and only one more than our good selves. A side who beat Arsenal at their own game. If not Jurgen then its Rodgers for me i’m afraid, looks to be a good man manager, plays passing football and understands the importance of ball retention.

    Harry,

    very amusing roundup of tabloidal fairy tales.

    the Galloway for Spurs inspirational.

    the picture says it all.

        Hell fackin yeah!!!

        Anyone who gets ‘summoned’ to a U.S congressional hearing and tears those pricks a new rear hole is alright in my book + winning Bethnal Green in the first place in the face of the most outrageous smear campaign orchestrated by the political establishment and their cronies in (old) Fleet Street was outstanding.

        Bigging up Obomber before and during the Presidential race……….not so good…………but that’s bloody liberal, social democrats for ya, innit!

        Oh, and Pep for next manager please :angel:

        • melcyid says:

          but he only won bethnal green because of the spamheads and we all know the type of pikeys they are.

        • Chrispurs says:

          Anyone, who kisses the had of Saddam Hussian, and worships his ‘indefatigableness,’ is a cnut.

        • Billy Legit says:

          Anyone who voted for/supported the British government in the 1980’s is a c*nt, because these people supported, aided, abbetted and funded Saddam’s regime and Iraq’s war against Iran (death toll= half a million)………Galloway didn’t. His speech was aimed at the civilians of Iraq, not Saddam.

          People like Saddam are only tyrants when ‘we’ are not supporting and funding them. Wake up!
