And all of ’em with the Queen’s head on. The past few weeks has been a fatiguing carousel of campaigning and canvassing. Have you met the candidates? The Anti Stratford Party are defined by their outrage and their ‘Blitz’ spirit. Their primary weapon is the ability to evoke ‘lump in the throat’ memories and so humanize the bricks and mortar that we call The Lane. They were handed the easier task yet by and large still they botched it. The Pro Stratford Party are far more low key characters. Less vocal, less emotionally charged they prefer to dispense facts, figures…

This was too good to pass up on. From Football Rumours but judge not lest thee be… err… a wig and gavel owner. Is it true? Certainly sounds plausible. There was a tale of the Liverpool boy Babel in a helicopter doing the rounds as that window was gearing up to close. As I recall it, Babel denied the whole thing and as ever the tale was compounded by the addition of Cartoon Cole being hurled into the mixer. Anyway, here’s what there is… 20 Jan 2011 10:46:48 Posting in here. Comes from the same source that told me about…
Despite being acknowledged as the planet’s numero uno Tottenham blogger, it gives me little pleasure to share with with football fans this disturbing snap of a man regarded by millions dozens of devoted vaguely interested Arsenal fans as a modern day legend getting some textual ecstasy.
The final installment of Martin Cloake’s views on the whole Stratford debate. Another thank you to Martin for letting us hack his work up and so give us a great catalyst for debate. One of the problems with the opposition to the Stratford proposals is the high profile of David Lammy. He never seemed particularly interested in Spurs before, but now he’s the champion of the ordinary fan. And his interventions come across as grandstanding. There’s also the fact that he is attempting to pin much of the ‘blame’ for Tottenham’s interest in Stratford on Boris Johnson. I’m no more…
Here’s some more of the thought provoking piece by our old mate, author and journalist Martin Cloake. In this installment (and believe me there will be more) Martin looks at getting to and from the ground and the buzz phrase of our generation, the ‘Olympic Legacy’. One ‘issue’ with Tottenham’s current ground is transport links. It’s taken as given that they are ‘poor’ and that substantial improvement is needed. This in turn feeds into the argument about Stratford having better links due to the Olympic infrastructure works. But take a breath here. There are five mainline rail stations and one…
According to Roger Morgan on Spurs Odious. The enquiries are from Sunderland and the striker is Crazypavinchenko. This would tie in if you buy the domino theory of transfer rumours wot wiv Barron Arthur Dent’s desire to become Emile Heskey 2.0. Is this cobblers? Who knows? But with 3MP seemingly unimpeachable from being Arry’s number one striker… I think Pav loves us and he’d be reluctant to stray. Oh listen to me, I’m like a swooning schoolboy. BIOYC!
Emily Pankhurst, Bobby Sands, that chap who got run over by a tank in Tiananmen Square, the Fathers For Justice bloke in a Batman suit… and now a few dozen idiots with a badly drawn bed-sheet partially blocking a B road. Initial reports from optimistic agitators was of some 500 people involved. One can only presume the other 476 were stuck in traffic. The media impact was a tidal wave of inertia. The Haringey Bugle & Recorder put up a few pictures but alas, no copy. There is an argument for staying at The Lane but it isn’t being made…
Afternoon all. In this blogging game there is a relatively steady stream, occasionally a trickle of people trying to plug goods and services. The bulk of which aren’t much cop. Some may recall Sid Trotter’s gyrating and chanting Spurs doll falling apart with in minutes of switching it on. Well, that may have been a cry for help on the doll’s part, but you get my jist. Well this lot got in touch and I think they might just be on to something. It’s called ‘Pick Live’. It’s any ‘in play’ Fantasy Football Game, but unlike normal Fantasy games, it’s…
Manchester United indoors is one of those ones that inspires anxiety and blind hope in equal amounts. It’s difficult to recall in recent times when we were better placed to give these bar stewards a going over. Unless of course you want to imagine a future occasion when we’d be able to field the boy Bale against them. Raging Kaboul In A Chinashop returns from his non event head butt ban but I’d prefer to field Gallas. A&E, Sir Les and Generalissimo Begbie would make up the four. Of all the concerns I could have it’s the cold fear of…
