Does Arry Redschnapps Need Psychiatric Help?

Good evening. 

I’m serious. Looking around the Net since his inexplicable ‘interview’ on Sky late this afternoon and I now want to voice concern over his mental state. 

When he was managing us at full steam, 8 points from 2 games and all that jazz well, yes he did wheel out plenty of ‘triffics’ and ‘for sures’ but it was little more than anyone with a bit of character having perfectly normal idiosyncrasies.

I’m not for a moment suggesting a man frequently using the same phrases and a similar style of speaking is an indication of mental fragility. But based upon this afternoon, some people must be asking questions.

‘Has he told Sandra he got the bullet?’ ‘Does he realise that this stuff is being shared with lots of people who haven’t been sectioned under the Mental Health Act?’

I get that people who aren’t in a job in football tend to float about. That’s quite normal. You’ll get Alan Curbishly pop up as a pundit on the telly. Maybe hear Phil Brown’s silky tones on the radiogramme. You may well have had Ian Dowie knock on your door of an afternoon, offering to tarmac your drive. 

But since the England fiasco Arry has emerged as a real life Walter Mitty. The FA spent 80% of their press conference unveiling of Hodgson underlining endlessly that he was the only person they considered, contacted and interviewed. 

Arry appeared blissfully unaware of the fact that no news primarily means, there is no news. If the phone doesn’t ring, this is not necessarily an indicator that the National Lottery people are still arduously trying to calculate the precise enormity of your win. The phone not ringing is an indication that all that you can be truly certain of is that it hasn’t rung. 

And as the dark days of Arry losing his grip on his responsibilities (you know, day to day coaching of the team, that sort of thing) began to grip THFC by the jugular it now seems suspiciously like that he was simultaneously losing his hold on reality.

I said to the chairman “can you get me Carlos Tevez?”

The funny thing was my mobile had like an ansaphone thing on it and they never told me. It was chock-a-block, apparently.

We looked at Suarez. He was a player who we  probably should have taken, looking back on it. We just weren’t sure.

I wanted to back in oranges at half time, you can’t do it these days, health and safety I suppose.

I actually tried to sign him for Tottenham before he went to Manchester City.

We was close to signing Christiano Ronaldo last year but Bondy only left his pen back at the hotel.

And the terrifying thing is that I only made 50% of the quotes up.

So on a serious note, when someone has reached a point where they predisposed to doing or saying insane things, almost as a default setting, then it is down to the rest of us to try and do the the right thing.  

You do not offer Paul Gascoigne a drink.  Sky and you too talkSPORT please, think about what you’re doing and don’t …offer Arry a microphone.

  • Night has fallen.
    We are gathered outside the Lane.The moon is the guiding light as the Cockerel projects its long shadow from the Eats Stand onto the Tottenham High street.
    We know that after the last game in the Euro Campaign that a new Commander will be named and it is the opportunity for us,within the Tottenham universe,to close ranks and back the king.
    In Levy We Trust and whom Levy picks we should trust too. He now ceases for me to be the crouching surveyor and rather our Commander.
    Lets all get behind Levys choice and give him a shout and support.
    We are Tottenham.
    Lets end the turmoil even though its hmmm good for business…achem….
    Lets Bless our team and maybe the Cockerel reign for centuries.
    and lets all say AMEN and COYS!!!!!!!!

    My eyes have seen the Glory and the possibility is still with us…within our grasp….let us take no prisoners and may the Kingdom of Tottenham rule over North London,London,England,Europe and the World.
    (Hopefully we can do the first one this season)

    Sorry been away and haven’t had time to read through yet so if this has already been asked please, please forgive me….does anyone know how long Bentley and for that matter J***s, have left on their contracts?

    • MysteriousStranger says:

      I believe J**** signed a year’s extension after he came back from his failed injured Villa loan, til 2014!

      If I remember rightly some of us went all the way to referencing him as ***** at one point. I’ll start with a J, for now, and work back as his appearances build up. I imagine a couple of Opta stat boosting sideways passing games in, and we’ll be back to calling him ***** in no time :freu

      • MysteriousStranger says:

        Bentley too is signed to 2014 I think. Imagine what could have been if he and Bassong hadn’t poured cold water over that spiv.

    Wanker of the week must go to Colin Mafhan a hack at the Express whose deep cover and extensive research has concluded that AVB will face adressing room revolt because of his appointment”

    Leading mutiny will be Ledley King, followed closely by Modric, Johnny 2 Saints, Doc Oc, Bentley and Jermain (I’m not always offside) “Offside” Defoe. Seems that these guys are unhappy and the reason for their ennui is the appointment of AVB – which of course has not yet happened – hey ITKs its 1st July here already!!!! What’s (not) happening?

    I wonder if this odious twat has actually done this deliberately or was simply under pressure to squeeze it in between yet more elaborate conspiracy theories about Diana and her scurrilous relationship with the son of an arms dealer and the sundry others she put out for.

    The Express really is woeful, at least the Mail knows its horrible….

    Its been going round amongst the hacks that if you get a little bit too close to trouty he’s beginning to smell a little bit of wee wee :freu

    The trout flew over the cuckoos nest.
