Online petitions then…Eeausch. The older I get the more hostile I become to things that do not work. It’s like whoever was put in charge of natural selection forgot that there was other stuff out there beyond us animals. So I kindda vowed the only way I’m going within 10 ft of another online petition was if I got paid. This is worth dragging into the limelight however – and I’m gutted to add, no money changed hands. There was a time when I let Andy Gray bother me. I remember watching us beat Villa one time and as the…

Mine was undoubtedly Kaboul. There were lots of positives (you never hear this phrase after a win – funny that) from lots of players. But Kaboul was for want of a better word, staunch. He arrived at The Lane with a burden of expectation upon his Gallic shoulders and the old girl never quite bore the weight. Jarred off then wholesaled off to Pompey he appeared to, in very technical parlance, get a bit better. His return was heralded with the same disinterest as his departure. Part of some debt consolation deal or a kick back on some Premiership Club…
Quite a kerfuffle, then. The first half was certainly more watchable than the second. But the whole gig was undermined by a referee that I predict if you call him in a years time you’ll hear, ‘Hi Dominoes, Marc speaking…’ on the other end of the phone. Ratings then… Gomes 6 Little to do A&E 8 As good as it gets. Nice work, fella. Begbie 6 Attacking, but his passing was ‘iffy’. Gallas 5 Couple of decent moves, but looks a bit pants. Kaboul 8 Defensively – extremely good stuff. Azza Blud 7 Played very deep and his tracking back…
“I was nervous about having my picture taken without any make-up on – as a model, I always wear make-up on shoots… Mrs Jamie O’Hara told NOW Magazine. “But it was refreshing not to wear it. I don’t often wear make-up when I’m just at home with my son Archie, so it felt quite natural to me.” “I am concentrating on my career now so I have to make sure whenever I have any spare time, I go to the gym and I often detox with lots of herbal teas.” “I feel that I am lucky that I have a…
Curiously, Everton sit six places beneath the mighty Tottinghams in both the form table and the real one. Everton have been ravaged by gout. Saha, Rodwell, Anichebe and Pienaar all unfit to undertake a lengthy coach journey, let alone kick a ball. Spurs are without King, Daws and of course Woody. The great news is the flying Dutchman returns. Get in. Kaboul returns and THFC remembered at least to register Sandro for Premierdship games. So that will all help. Kaboul looked brand new in early games and based on the other night, he’s been missed. Betting wise I’d be confident…
Tottingham coach and part time Range Rover driver told Radio Talksport: “If we want to win the Premier League and compete in the Champions League, we’ve got to go after the best players. “And if Wayne Rooney became available it would be interesting to see if we could go for him. “For years Spurs have been known as a selling club but if you look at our squad we’ve arguably got the the best squad in the Premier League. “Harry wants to add one or two quality players to that and, if he can do that, we’ll have a serious…
I’m not sure I enjoyed that. Fifteen minutes of public humiliation followed by having to watch a loved one emerge from a coma. It gives me no pleasure to refer to my last blog and mumble under my breath, I told you so. This is a territory usually occupied by w*ankers. But the reality is, whatever Arry’s tactical intentions were or were not, the weakest element in the equation was undoubtedly Tottenham’s defense. Here are my ratings. Tell me yours. Gomes 2 Was it a penalty? Yes it was. Daft challenge. Amateur night from the Octopus. Hutton 3 Looked unfit.…
“You’ve got to go there and play sensibly against the better teams, you’ve got to be difficult to beat away from home. Let’s not kid ourselves. If we come back with a point we would all be delighted.” “So you’ve got to go out there and hit them on the break. We’d like to win but we’re not going to go out and start swarming all over them – they are a top team, so you have to be aware of that.” Stirring stuff. Arry’s pre match words there evoke such strong emotions. Forget ‘Cry havoc!’, never mind Braveheart and…
Just time for a quick parlour game before we begin to prattle in earnest on the impending European extravaganza. I don’t think that they are particularly easy but what do I know? We’ll up the ante with a token prize. I’ll bung the winner (ie the person or spambot who gets the most correct or for that matter leaves the daftest answers) a copy of Chris Kamara’s Footynotes book.
