Jan Vertonghen Mashed Up

Good morning.

The latest Hotspur’s Half Hour is out and packed to the gills with thrills, spills and bellyaches.

On this week’s show we’ve what can only be described as an historic mash up featuring Jan Vertonghen and The Eagles courtesy of our one man house band and musical arranger Mr Loveridge of Membrane Audio. Worth the price of admission alone. What a choon.

But the cherry on this sumptuous slice of aural gluttony [ODM’s obsession with baking is becoming a concern] has to be our very special guest star Knut from Football Away. Knut has a stellar anecdote about a football bet he lost and his subsequent journey from London to go and watch the mighty Spurs play Newcastle on the opening day of the season. 

And if you like your Anglo Saxon with big beats thrown in, then there’s a tasty treat after the closing credits. My broadband had cut out but my mic had not.

    kaboul is a much better defensive right back than walker. doesnt seem too shoddy going forward either. what a way to keep everybody on their toes

    naughton can play left or right back
    verts can play left back and centre
    kaboul can play centre and right back
    caulker is going to be an outstanding centre half.
    keeps ekotto and walker on their toes. and gallas. and dawson.

    perfection at the back with alot options. would love to see kaboul make the right back slot his own.

    any thoughts chaps?

    Another great podcast, keep ’em coming.

    Re: Vertonghen song, wasn’t “Desperado” done by the late great Johnny Cash? Or did he merely cover it? I would rather trust sources on this here blog than Wikipedia.

    • onedavemackay says:

      Desperado was written by Glen Frey and Don Henley of the Eagles the Cash version was a cover.

    • calebray says:

      johnny cash covered it, along with numerous other classics on the “american recordings”
      some to check out:
      hurt by nine inch nails
      rusty cage by soundgarden
      personal jesus by depeche
      i hung my head by sting
      the gambler by kenny rogers

      there are only a few chosen to have those kinds of voices. Cave, Waits, Cash, Orbison etc and i dearly love them all

    • Ronnie Wolman says:

      You’ve all covered it now even Chas Dave and Harry the Washboard trio.

    • FreundsArbeitArmy says:

    Vertonghen is seriously SERIOUSLY world class…I mean on a whole other level to what we have had…truly a pleasure to watch that man play football.

    All I wanted to add :o)

    • FreundsArbeitArmy says:

      Nothing better than an intelligent centre-back who looks as comfortable on the ball as any midfielder. A long way from the Docherty’s, Bunjecvic’s (spelling?) and Naybet’s of old!

  • Mark T says:

    First listen. I enjoyed that and will do it more. Thanks.
