Good evening.
I have no faith.I might have thought I had when I was a child. But it’s gone.
Kishna, born 1000 yrs BC, son of a carpenter, was baptised in river. Mithra, born 600 BC curiously enough on December 25th, performed miracles, was resurrected on the 3rd day. He was known as The Lamb, The Way, The Truth, The LIght The Saviour, The Messiah.
The big hitter though has to be the ‘rather popular’ Egyptian god Horus who in 1280 BC was known the son of Osiris. He was also born to a virgin, baptised in a river by a bloke who later had his head chopped off. Horus did a stint of desert business, getting tempted, all that jazz.
He was an absolute whizz at healing the sick, blind and cast out demons like it was going out of fashion. When he wasn’t recorded as having walked upon …water. Pity none odf his descendants were involved at the Sunderland game today, eh? Horus also raised a guy called ‘Asar’ from the dead. The translation of this name is ‘Lazarus’. Horus had 12 (count ’em) disciples, was crucified, then was discovered by 2 (count ’em) ladies who declared him ‘risen’.
That said, faith isn’t for schmucks. If something gives you comfort. I’ll be the very last to suggest you’re a fool. It’s vital part of the way humans go about their business.
But all I ask of people is don’t try and pass it off faith as being either truthful or …factual. It isn’t an imaginary friend tending to the sick, it’s scientists and doctors. And if my own Living Will is executed to the very letter, coked up Vegas showgirls.
Spurs fans carping about André Villas Boas after 2 games need to jack it in and find themselves a new god. Because dealing with reality is clearly too much for them to cope with.
Do you know the last time I watched a game close to where we passed so deftly, tackled with such spirit? It was the UEFA Cup Final against Anderlecht.
I was genuinely proud of us today. The best analysis you will ever read and player ratings for you in the morning.
Of course it was heartbreaking to watch them equalise, but I have absolute faith in intelligence, wit and guile. The boss is building something rather special here. The result today hurt, but I’m still so excited about this season.
So in my headline I lied.
Confused, upset?
Oh you must be new…
Hotspurs Half Hour – Show 2 by hotspurshalfhour
Created little and missed what we did create. Defoe still can’t “poach” in the 6 yard box for Bale’s crosses instead preferring to stand 12 yards from goal and watch another potential tap in pass us by.
We dominated against Newcastle and their supporters admitted we were the better team, but the same old failings, we didn’t score.
We don’t get enough people in the box when we attack and often only have 1 player to pick out. More help from midfield please.
I saw VDV in the box once, did he go there again?
Early days but we are playing for 4th at best behind Chelsea, Man U and Man City.
I’m not a doom and gloom merchant, but Levy, for the 2nd year running has not conducted his business well. It’s acceptable to make a mistake, but to make it twice…
What game did you watch?
Harry , did you watch the same match as the rest of us ?
Constipated chairman, tactical expert manager who starts with defoe vs WBA leaves a last 15min CMF of liverless and Jenas and wonders why our defenders were under constant pressure, then tries to make a FOURTH sub.
Oh yes we had 90% of possession but like Joe Lewis and his billions is worth ****all if you dont score or spend.
OMG!!!
Btween levy & AVB = between a rock and a hard place.
THFC 56 years: 36 with ST and I am worried that perhaps Mourinho’s assistant at Chelsea might be better than his scout. But “Good Onya Swansea & Moyes!!
Any odds on us NOT beating Norwich?
