Good afternoon. I trust everyone’s vocal chords, hangovers and rigor mortis like smiles are all gradually easing and you’re letting it finally sink in that we’re pretty damn good at playing football. Again. At long last. This is made me chuckle and so being the wonderful human being I am I thought I’d share it with you bar stewards. It’s off the Italian telly from last night. I haven’t a clue what they’re actually saying but by the same token I know exactly what they mean. Enjoy.

Morning my dears. Nothing shy of a sensational evening. I can hardly express how happy it makes me watching us play like that. Upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing. Our mindset was spot on. Our shape and concentration was immense. we kept possession and mopped up the losses of the same. We moved the ball like Champions. This was one one of those rare, rare games that will bench-mark Spurs performances for a generation The Milanese rain turned out to be holy water absolving Gomes of all previous sins.  He made two extraordinary saves and looked every bit a world…

Good morning ladies. I’ve heard two things. One is we’re playing tonight and the second is that there is a distinct chance that Modders will be on the bench and may well yet feature. The odds are we will get more to chew on as the day progresses, but here’s a round up of quotes to get the juices flowing. Jimmy Greaves knows a thing or two about about Italian football… “When I was playing  in Milan there was only two flights a week and I used to miss both of ’em. They’ve got to attack, they can’t sit back.…

What you call a result. The absence of VdV, Bale and Modders has left us looking like the hotch potch that went to Sunderland. Mr Van der Vaart has confirmed via Twitter… “Good news. Back on the pitch tomorrow, can’t wait to put on my shirt again!” …and he’s even supplied a snap of his match shirt!

Kevin Bond on Talksport just now has revealed to Alan Brazil Breakfast Show that Gareth Bale hasn’t travelled to Italy. Jonathan Woodgate has – and he is is one of a yet unnamed group of ‘one or two others’ that Bondy said had made the trip but would be watched and a decision made at the eleventh  hour. Bond said that Bale’s back was not responding. They had tried a few different things, thought all was well but then once he trained it flared up again. Dawson and Bassong are on board and Bondy added that Billy Bob Gallas has…

The win at Sunderland was frustrating and ultimately unsatisfying fare. God knows why anyone pays to go and watch them up there. Niall Quinn wants to devote his energies to thanking those that do show up opposed to berating those who don’t. There’s a serious issue here though. Those fiendish pubs broadcasting ‘bent’ satellite schedules are actually a part of the community in my book. One that’s poorly looking and might not last. I hope that the challenge mounted by that landlady in Portsmouth comes off. Am I alone in questioning that paying one company through the eyeballs for the…

Greetings.

One factor that may separate these two is Asamoha Gyan. ‘Oh really H, this is there danger-man is it?’ Well, he does have a certain something that Spurs are sorely lacking.

He’s a striker with 8 goals to his name.

This is good.  Okay, okay, it’s sensational. Highlighted to HH by the highly distinguished jfdit this is an interview HERE dated January 27, 2010 in the The Evening Standard with Mihir Bose, who’s own site is HERE. I skim read through it. Twice. I hate reading much all the way through. But there wasn’t a way of abridging it. I couldn’t see where fat could honestly be trimmed. It’s what they call in the trade a revealing portrait. Pull your own quotes out, there are plenty there. ‘Fish in a barrel.’ But most of all, enjoy… Last Monday night after…
