Clint Has Lurid Photos Of The Boss And A Pineapple

Essentially this was a game where the quality of the opposition pushed and pressured the Starship Tottingham Hotspur to the point where you could hear Mr Scott cry from the ether, ‘She cannae take it, Captain!’ The frailties in the engine room were there for all to see. Dry ice shot out of the pipes, lights flashed and the camera man didn’t need wiggle the vertical hold button about, the pitch did actually tilt violently now and again.

The inhabitants of the Blue Moon were a physically strong godless gang of vicious but talented bar stewards. We attempted to stun a few of them but they simply ate our phasers.

The boss made some questionable substitutions yet again and I would welcome him explaining why in his report to Star Fleet Fleet St. Ade was on a yellow, but unarguably our best player. With Defoe and Dempsey teaming up we were effectively down to 9 men.

If I didn’t know Hugo was there on the bench then I’d give the old buzzard an easier ride. It’s not his fault that Lloris appears faster, more proactive, determined not to hoof the ball. It’s not Brad’s fault. But thems the facts.

His agent should get him a non speaking extra part on EastEnders. A bloke happily shifting boxes of cauliflowers on the market. Playing football at this level he looked out of his depth. No howlers, just a startled bunny hopping about on a main road.

Gets dogs abuse from a certain section of our support. This must a be a group of people who live timid, anally retentive lives who will tell you with pride they don’t own a piece of red clothing. He wasn’t perfect but much better than some.

Against the Premier League Champions and their multimillion pound megastars he stock fell a little. Given his age and experience my guess is he’ll survive. The quality of his header beat the country’s best goalie. So yes, a mixed bag but no screaming disaster.

Really needed him in the middle of the defense. Again, with Verts as with others there was too much being thrown at us to indulge him being played out of position.

Here’s a guy that’s worth his wages and due a pay rise. Never goes missing. Doesn’t flounce about doing impressions. He’s mustard. If we had Parker back then we could focus more on feeding the creatives.

This was a game that I felt he genuinely tried his best and despite it not being quite good enough it, that doesn’t make him a bad person. He tried to defend more and move more, but it made little difference. If we could squeeze performances like this out of him against far far weaker opposition then he would be a squad rotation asset. At this level he was too pressured and gave away possession far too frequently.

I liked the figure pointing bit. Must find that for a caption comp. But he didn’t spin past them, he didn’t achieve a whole hell of a lot. He did pitch in defensively which was the right thing to do. But offensively they didn’t notice him.

Did City do a job on him or was he deployed more defensively? Whichever it was, it didn’t work out well for us. A game we could have really benefited from him blazing a trail. And he didn’t. 

Oh dear. It appears Clint Dempsey is in possession of some rather lurid photographs of Villas-Boas and a pineapple.

My heart sank when he came on because we took off the only bloke who was probably going to supply him.

Best boy on the pitch. Hugged most of the City team in the tunnel and then proceeded on the pitch to wind most of them up like cheap alarm clocks. If we learned anything from this game it was that Emmanual Adebayor is a diligent footballer. Jermain Defoe is poacher.

Oh Andre, Andre, Andre. What was the deal with taking off Ade? And what on earth were you doing with that pineapple? My big concern is that you aren’t being as tough on the lads as some of us might wish you to be. That said you are missing so many vital ingredients there is a futility to the analysis. Carroll must be trusted. Huddlestone is too limited. As for Dempsey, I am afraid the jig is up.

    Friedel was poor for both goals but saved every shot that was straight at him, his distribution sucks….
    Sandro was immense and Toure won’t relish the return at WHL…
    Gallas was too slow on a few occasions with the offside trap, lead to their first goal…
    Dempsey was awful but Adebayor was tiring, on a yellow and looking for another…the change should have been Dempsey for Defoe around 60 minutes with Sigurdsson for Adebayor around 75…
    Other than that we matched them for long periods and had Hudds shot gone in we would have won, I have no doubt…

  • Cheeky Bill says:

    Blimey. Where to begin with this one.

    1.We simply do not have the personnel to do things the AVB way.

    • Cheeky Bill says:

      2. We should adopt a siege mentality because we cannot withstand the pressure.

      3. Brad – great keeper – gifts the ball back to time after time. In side that is trying to play possession football this makes him a liability.

      4. This site instinctively looks better as a 4-4-2 and will remain so until we sign that elusive creative midfielder.

      Anyway – I’m with them until my last breath.

      • Cheeky Bill says:

        Correction:

        2 That’s should’nt adopt

        • BrisbaneSpur says:

          Yes AVB’s intellect and ability to make simple, logical and practical decisions is based soley on his available players?

          Hold on a second-we did play yesterday did we not?, we were leading and almost increased the lead-we rattled City and got their fans irritated-and best of all got Mancini to change things around-all that with the players available and on the field-What we didn’t do was counter Mancini’s tactic-we had no answer and failed time and time again to pass 10 yards-how many times did an attempted pass go astray or out of play or to a City player-that’s poor, especially from a side who play possession football (Allegedly)- you cannot single out Friedel when almost every defender gave possession away or the mids (Sandro excluded), did the same. Everything Ade did well-he started himself, no wonder he was knackered after an hour and on the road to a 2nd yellow.
          We played too narrow and negated any potential threat from the wings-hence Bale and Lennon getting starved and allowing City to push forward-bloody hell-it was painful enough, but let’s not kid ourselves it was a lack of resources because we had the game in our grasp and didn’t know how to counteract their changes-by not doing the basic’s I’d say!

  • Paul9inch says:

    Afraid we looked outclassed and it was back to the good old bad old days of not being able to string half a dozen passes together.

    Blame AVB all you want (be surprised if sees out his contract) but once on the pitch the players must take responsibility.

    Have to take issue with you over Walker. His young, he’s learning and to me he’s playing like he’s got too many things whirling in his head rather than playing instinctively. Sometimes its a case of 6 steps back before moving forward, you know what its like when you’re learning anything, not necessarily sport ……. at least I hope its that!

    • BrisbaneSpur says:

      Are you on happy pills?

      “but once on the pitch the players must take responsibility”

      Don’t reckon AVB’s A5 pad and bic would agree with you!

  • CBusSpur says:

    We lost our two best players in the summer and now AVB has to make the dross he has work. It is surprising that Dempsey and Sigg have been so poor. Dross plus injuries equals a lightweight team. AVB’s subs have been off as well. Mid-table and rebuilding this year? We probably need to be realistic.

  • NYC Spurs says:

    our performances this year have been largely below par and bar Sandro – who has been truly outstanding – none of our players have moved on at all from last season. I was all for Harry out but this new guy is a clown. Clueless tactically, still doesn’t know his best team and unable to get the best out of his players. didn’t this happen with him somewhere before. Better hope Mancini and Di Matteo do well and that Pep would give us a second glance because we will do nothing with AVB.
