The 10 O’Clocker: Form

Image for The 10 O’Clocker: Form

Good evening.

All this weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth is all well and good cathartic but how do we and indeed will we take steps to …get a new plan, Stan?  My fear is that Citizen Redschnapps is mentally in Hitler’s bunker right now. 

The pity me routine has worn thin/been exhausted with the fans because the bulk of us aren’t mentally retarded. The squad isn’t awful. Sure, it’s serving up relatively awful performances, but then if you give a chimpanzee the finest ingredients known to mankind and the best kitchen to cook in, the odds are you will be chowing down on a takeaway while vets  try to save the ape.

There is talk from our tight lipped supremo of winning as many of our remaining games as possible. Commendable stuff. If of course, your motor neurons fire at the same speed as a marble rolling through a tray of thickened paint. 

The crucial element absent from this Lollypop Land equation is a wee thing called form. So let’s swerve naivety and not just look at our own, shall we? Ought we dare?

We face [in chronological order] QPR, Blackburn, Bolton, Villa, Fulham. Villa and Blackburn and Bolton lurk like bottom feeders, nestled in the drop zone. Blackburn’s current form reflects their season. It’s ‘roadkill’ and they are going down with t’Wolves.

Bolton’s form quite possibly guided by the hand of a higher being of course, appears to be resurgent. Better than Sunderland, than Norwich, than West Bromwich Albion.

Then onto the wounded animals. 

QPR is at Loftus Road, the venue of 3 wins from their last 6. Away, they suck badly. This is a piece of professional analytical  terminology I do not expect all of you to be savvy with.

Fulham could be a another skin de banane. Fancy Big Martin Jol not wanting to ruin our Champions League Parade, at The Lane?

Please, let me be your bookie.

    Will any of our sick note boys be back this season?

    Ahh, Wigan made me smile again.

    Let’s face it, most of our players couldn’t give a monkey’s for the club or whether they qualify for the CL. The best players know they will just jump ship to a team that does make it there. You can see it in the body language of players like Bale who is very keen to get forward and be the superstar but appears to have disdain for the donkey work of tracking back and defending. VDV looks like he is playing for a contract at OT as is Modric, Redknapps is the same, he knows he is leaving one way or another for either Engerlund or the dole queue.
    Ledley and Gallas are probably going to retire, JD is friggin off he must of had enough by now!

    So as you can see none of them really care, they are just passin thru….what would you do if you were the chairman and were surveying this scene?

      Failure to win all remaining games will lead to electric shock treatment to each players testicles.
      May not be totally legal but would certainly do the trick. Levy should consider it.

    • Simon says:

      Parker looks like he cares to me.

    • Andy says:

      Seriously, your doubting vdv? Just days after he came out and said he doesnt care if were in Europa next season, he loves the club and wants to stay and be a legend? He was one of our better players against chelscum, just a shame his hammmies couldn’t last. I honestly reckon he will end his career at spurs.

      • stupot says:

        Spot on Andy. Spurs through and through for some crazy reason. He embodies what all us suppoters would give on the pitch, defends us in the press and celebrates his goals fiercly as a true spurs player should. Legend.

    I wonder what Martinez, would do with our squad?
