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.

    We will make the Europa, Harry could not give a toss for us

      He’s not spending tme at her Majestys pleasure and he’s the next England manager – he’ll be ove the moon with this year.

      Wouldn’t it be a cruel twist of fate to be sacked by Spurs and Roy Hodgson gets the england post…

    over to your lot now. 3rd is still possible after all.don’t bank on chelsea and Stoke we have a good chance to beat them its the smaller teams that are the problem they are fighting relegation and they seem to wake up a bit late in the season and don’t expect your lot to have an easy game away to QPR. small pitch and not easy to move the ball around all top teams have found it difficult there. Anway game on

  • 4 Ever Hopeful says:

    Those fixtures could not have been kinder as a run in but right now it is difficult to see us ever winning another game.

  • SPURMEON says:

    Here’s an idea to be honest I expected to see banded around the Blogs and forums and haven’t. Harry gets the sack before QPR next week? It worked for Chelsea and by the sounds of it Harry could be announced as the new England coach by next week anyway. To me he’s becoming the biggest hinderance to the club getting champions league next season. Let us remind ourselves that this tottenham team definitely has the ability to win the next five matches, all it takes is someone to organise and motivate the team properly and for me at the moment that person ain’t harry.

    The only thing against this idea is that we don’t seem to have the players to take control in the dressing room the likes of terry etc. Our main leaders in the dressing room seem to be Gallas and Parker and they’re hardly tottenham through and through.

    • Harry Hotspur says:

      Gallas deserves more respect. Scott Parker’s better than Roberts.

      Have you ever considered marinading your brain with a sachet of French Mustard and seasonal herbs, then eating it?

      • Hartley says:

        He’s not H, he’s not better than Sandro……

        • Alspur says:

          Come on, Hartley – he’s streets ahead of Sandro in terms of nous, positioning, etc…

          He may not have Sandro’s physical cabalities but together they would form a platform for success…

          It’s jemmying Modric and VDV into the same side that’s the problem…

  • chiversmetimbers says:

    The most telling fact about or “Fantastic Football Manager” is that when his team have pulled a goal back and are 1 goal down he thinks it’s great idea to gut the midfield and bring on an extra striker, is this done just to placate JD or does he actually think that by “opening up” the team is the way to win? Any coach with balls or brains would have seen that the line up we had out there had just scored and had it not been for some asshat in black it would have been 1-1 at that point…but oh no our Redknut commits bloody Harrykiri and then shrugs…”it was one of them days”…”thats football”

    He’s shit, he’s crap, he’s such a friggin twat..lalalalalalalaaaa
