Guten Abend.
Going to Ikea on a weekday is undoubtedly a good thing. No crowds, not fussing and most importantly of all no one to witness me trying fruitlessly to load part of an office desk top into the back of a suddenly tiny Hyundai. I’d have stood a better chance of lassoing the moon with my paper tape measure.
Anyway, to the fussball. I’ll tell you this, the more I start thinking about tomorrow’s game the more I believe we’re in with more than a chance Here are my picks for our tea-time time.
Let me state now that I don’t believe my picks will mirror those of the boss. I believe he’ll opt for Brad and Defoe. This observation isn’t an attack on Villas-Boas, rather a belief he is a rather good football manager and I am a two bob blogger. My gut feeling is that Hugo is ready, my gut feeling Ade will perhaps own more keys that might unlock Yanited’s back four. But Villas-Boas is will want to satisfy his own criteria completely before dropping in-form players.
I’ve put Jan at LB in order to facilitate the eye-catcher Caulker who of all the youngsters to emerge is the boy I can genuinely see cutting the mustard. The arrows for him, Billy and Sandro clearly echo the strategy that allows Sandro to effortlessly drop back a little to accommodate the pace of Jan & Kyle to cause some carnage.
Deuce & Moussa in the middle. But I want Bale to be released. I want him deployed to make left wing or inverted left wing attacks. In short I want him and Deuce to understand who’s doing what here. We simply cannot afford The Boy Bale to get lost in the thick of a congested central midfield.
Azza needs to revisit his successful byline runs, cut back, avoid the near post and remember that diagonals in the 18 yard box can genuinely cause mayhem. He also needs to remind himself to shoot. Yanited are missing loads of top notch defenders. Now that doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park, but it does mean there is a plausible chink in the armour.
So we haven’t won there since 1704. So what? I say we can tomorrow by a goal. By one goal at least. I will be looking for some value on first goalscorer prices as Spurs are certain to come flying out the traps You can also find more sportsbook review information here …
BOIYMUC!
An Ian wright quote:
“I look at Andre Villas-Boas as a guy who is being promoted a little too quickly. He didn’t shower himself in glory at Chelsea at all and then he somehow gets the job at Tottenham. Now you look at the things he is doing there; Michael Dawson is captain one minute, then next he wants him out. There were mixed messages over Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe at the start of the season as well.
“Okay, he won the Europa League at FC Porto and did well in the Portuguese league, but that should never have been enough to give him the Chelsea job, so I was not surprised when it all blew up.”
I recall Wenger had won Serie A and a Nobel peace prize, Oh wait a minute…
Following an unsuccessful period at Nancy which culminated in his dismissal in 1987, Wenger won the league championship with Monaco in 1988. In 1991, he guided the club to victory in the Coupe de France, but failure to regain the domestic championship in later seasons led to Wenger departing Monaco by mutual consent in September 1994. He briefly coached Japanese J. League side Nagoya Grampus Eight, winning the Emperor’s Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.
In 1996, Wenger was named manager of Arsenal and two years later, in 1998, became the first manager born outside Britain to win the league and FA Cup double.
Wright is an absoluto idioco !!!!
Your obviously a very nice chap,even arse fans call him a lot worse nowadays.
I have just awoken on a public holiday weekend (extra public holiday here on Monday due to Queels Jubilee)seeing all the positive vibes about beating rednose and his 11 dwarfs… What could be better…? :cool:
You forgot the whistle blower and the flag bearers…Only team with 3 different coloured shirts on the field.
Well there goes my saturday morning positive vibes…. Excuse me for one minute while I go ‘and kick the koala’….
By chance does anyone have a link that is supported outside of UK for the following interview with what I am assuming is a Daily Snail reporter?? Hope someone does……
The original question was: “Andre, do you understand Hugo Lloris’ frustration about the situation, because you did pay a lot of money for him?”
:-D
That prompted the following exchange:
AVB: “What is the frustration?”
Journalist: “Well, the frustration at not being in the team.”
AVB: “How do you know?”
Journalist: “Well, he didn’t play last night, did he?”
AVB: “How do you know he’s frustrated?”
Journalist: “No, I’m asking you, do you find him frustrated?”
And so it continues until AVB wins by way of technical knockout.
Are you now using the same server (yesteryearcom) as me. even I saw this yonks ago….I’ll send you some pigeons as back up to your messaging system….Yes???
It was a press conference from yesterday….
The plot thickens…… :hae:
Same type question last week,as was the answer.
I would like to blame Newsnow, so I will dam it…. :angry:
Tottenham manager Andre Villas Boas’ hilarious response to Hugo Lloris ‘frustration’ question

Just also tried to listen to TalkShite about the ManU fixture with Hazard and co. and that won’t freakin work either, so much for WORLD WIDE web eh…… :-(
Please don’t send any pigeons as its likely they will end up being snatched by the Queensland Government dressed in khaki jumpsuites driving a big black ute with tinted windows and 9m high bull bar. Great jumps in technology should be approached with care over his side of the world…..!!
Once saw a man fight a croc and a bull shark for a pot noodle original (ORIGINAL I say!!!) :ermm:
Got to put them under pressure so two up top for me, with midget and ade. Let defo run rio ragid!!!
Can’t agree,it will be won or lost in midfield,with a high tempo and work rate needed.I liked the way Sandro and Moussa operated for most of the Reading game and as high a defence as we can get away with to limit their space would be good.
As somebody else wrote the other day,I don’t feel half as anxious as I used to when we don’t have the ball these days,Vertonghen is very reassuring and he settles the whole defence.
I’d love to see Lloris make his debut to,I’m sure we are gonna need some quick off the line goalkeeping

I sneak off to the staff canteen for the final time. The boss thinks I’m off to the loo again… dodgy guts apparently. On the staff computer – thank fuck its free, no facebookers or golf fans – have we held on for the 1-1, a creditable draw in anyones book. Or have they nicked a dodgy late win, or has that ex arse bugger slotted a quick double to make me want to smash the keyboard.
Loading, loading, don’t think the impossible, just let us have held on to the 1 all.
What. The. Fuck. Am I seeing right. Yes I am. Screaming ‘Get In’ I scare the shit out of the newspaper reader in the corner. ‘Sorry mate, Moussa just got the winner at Old Trafford’. Blank look. I float back to work, ten foot tall. Cant wait for match of the day…
This is how I imagine tomorrow evening. COYS.
Just add a Kyle & Danni somewhere in there and its a peach…..
Walker and Alves?
:-D
If someone throws in a couple of dresses and and bottle of scotch, I’d share a discreet intimate moment with Danny DeVito and Jeremy Kyle in exchange for 3 points!
I think if pushed – oo err – it’d have to be Kyle Machlachlan and Danny Levy for me. But it’d have to be 6 nil, not just 3 points…
Hmmmmm… Maybe I sold myself a little short there to be honest…. I’ll take 3 points and a Spurs goal in the last minute that never should have been. Something like the Maradona World Cup semi final 86′ goal! :winke:
The hand job of God. OK we’ll go with that :winke:
Done deal…. :daumen:
So when is the new blog out?
Next train’s gone.
I don’t even….
Don’t think that’s the only this thats left the station HH… :daumen:
Your wasting your time
