Good afternoon.
There is a discernible mumble doing the rounds it would appear that we have made serious enquiries about Arsenal’s Theo Walcott. Sure this suggestion has surfaced before. Every rag from the Wall St Journal to War Cry has a run at some stage this year.
Another Arsenal contract running down so there’s a fortnight left on it. But in this instance this guy won’t be heading to United or City. He won’t be linked with a move to Barcelona. But does that mean we should look down our noses at him? I wouldn’t be in hurry to dismiss the idea.
Walcott isn’t the world’s greatest player. I’m not selling him to you as some panacea. Rather I’m thinking we could play him where we played Rafa and add a much needed zap of creativity to a midfield that has been left decimated. The conventional arguments against him joining are worthless. We have Gallas and Adebayor on our books.
He knows the league, he’s motivated and he wants a career. The question is would you ship him in? I would.
The latest Hotspur’s Half Hour is out now! 
The begin of the end of the early sixties team was when Billy nick bought Laurie Brown from the arse for 40,000.
A fucking disaster.
Ronnie what about when bill nick swapped jimmy robertson for david jenkins from arse that also was
a disaster,remember hearing it on the radio in our flat in south tottenham ,when me and the old man use to walk to lane every home game, 53 years on still get a buzz when the old arse game turns up
Yes, that was a real sickener. How many games did the useless Jenkins play for us, 6 wasn’t it or something?
Jinx Jenkins.
Robertson was my favourite player at that time.I think he had a bout of anemia though

I cant believe I missed that Jermaine character yesterday. Come back please.
Who’da known LLL was a Saturnist? Cor it takes all sorts.
That guy was scary.
The Jermaine character I mean of course, not LLL.
LLL rocks.
an avatar a day keeps the satanists away.
I prefer ELELEL, he’s more ‘eurotrash’.
What’s with the Capuchin…. Oh.
David Icke’s written pages on the bloke. He’s a lizard as well you know.
How can you even entertain the idea? I think he’s the most overrated player in the league personally and the idea that he would add ‘creativity’ is just laughable. What on earth does he have in common with VDV by the way?
It’s got people talking but after the signings of Dempsey and Siggy, signing this muppet would indicate just how much we’ve lost our way. We are playing boring football and now we are looking to sign a reject Goon? This is just utter pants… can we move on?
Oh yeah, i want my Tottenham back!!
