Evening all.
Paul Jiggins is a man of immensely limited human dimensions. Which is a kind way of saying he probably would be better suited to say, cleaning toilets or peeling potatoes for a living than pretending to be a sports reporter.
Here’s the transcription of a paid journalist making himself look about as informed as a dead sheep or as he called it, ‘interrogating Villas-Boas.’
Mr Ploppy: Andre, can you understand Hugo Lloris’ frustration about the situation because you did pay quite a lot of money for him.
AVB: “What is the frustration?”
Mr Ploppy: Well frustration about not being in the team.
AVB: “How do you know?”
Mr Ploppy: Well he didn’t play last night did he?
AVB: “How do you know he’s frustrated?”
Mr Ploppy: I am asking you, do you find him frustrated?
AVB:“I am asking you what…”
Mr Ploppy: Has he actually come to you and said he’s frustrated?
AVB: “No, he’s not frustrated.”
Mr Ploppy: He’s obviously happy with the situation?
AVB:“Obviously.”
Mr Ploppy: Do you expect to have more talks with him?
AVB: “No we have talks every day, with every player at every training session, that’s the way things work.”
Now that was on the the morning of the 27th of this month after the Carlisle game. Instead of taking a hint, a paid journalist went go one further and make up a tale to support his fantasy [link].
‘Boss AVB also had a bust-up with technical co-ordinator Tim Sherwood, who is allegedly angry at being frozen out.
Players complained that AVB’s gruelling double training sessions — sometimes staged just 24 hours before a match — left them too tired to perform in Premier League matches this season.
And Spurs stars have also hit out at their manager’s negative style of football, telling him they would prefer to play a more attacking system. AVB has scrapped the double training sessions after listening to his squad.
But AVB is said to have been left reeling by the mutiny, which reportedly follows bust-ups with some of the club’s old guard behind the scenes.’
As you can see, in this quote free piece Jiggins doesn’t make any mention of the ‘incompetent’ attempt to get the boss to confess to something that wasn’t true. Now, I don’t know about you, but I had a nailed on source, the old ‘insider’ sketch going on, I’d want want to run the article to follow-up an interview with the angle that Villas Boas was in denial. ‘Somebody isn’t telling the truth, here.’
But of course, there was no source. There was no story, just a petulant little toad out for some half cocked trouble making.
Oh yes and Tim Sherwood told the Guardian:
“That’s all they are – just rumours, that’s all I know about it.
“I’ve got a great job where I am. There ain’t nothing to consider. It’s just speculation. I love what I do. I’m happy at the football club, it’s a great project.”
Jiggins, you’re busted.

Grant’s of
St JamesDirectsports.comThe press really need to grow up and take their own personal views of who they support as a club out of the articles that write. Jiggins has been made to look ridiculous as have other journalists and papers who have been writing rubbish about Spurs. The players have nothing but praise for AVB. As fans we need to try and ignore the papers and the websites with completely misleading headlines.
did I miss HHH this week?
T’was recorded this evening :shifty: the guest as ever makes it :blush:
Jim jinxed it for me!
The thing is Saville hid it all so well. You’d never have known he was wierd just by looking at him.
just look at Gary Glitter,who,d have known?
20 years time we could be talking about the Jedwards
There is nothing weird about a pensioner with Worzel Gummidge hair, wearing Run-DMC stylee tracksuits, more bling than a convicted yardie, a Winston Churchell-esque cigar on the go (apart from when he was running) and keeping his dead mother’s dresses in his wardrobe. Completely normal and sane in my book.
I thought the cigar was more Fidel Castroesque myself,the rest was spot on :daumen:
or was it a Groucho Marx cigar?
I got a 1st in Cigaronometry at Cambridge and i can categorically state that
paedoSaville smoked a Churchill (the fat bloke, not the fat dog in the adverts) :silly:Thought it was a Clinton.
Hold on. You’re talking about Phil MvAvity, right?
The positions filled then?
The cavity is.
I feel sorry for the bloke who bought his
pedomobileRolls Royce at auction, sort of loses it’s appeal don’t cha think?There isn’t enough stain remover in the world………..
