Curiouser and curiouser cried H, as he heard a twisted tale unfold from his extra shiny Dualit radio. Stratford, THFC, Olympic Stadium, Pikeys? Hold up… What about the Naming Rights Arena? And what of all those beautifully and dutifully superimposed artists’ impressions of happy and contented Client Reference numbers merrily marching to mass at the New Lane? This curve ball comes in the form of a venture between AEG and THFC which would see both parties as joint anchor tenants after the Games are over. My view is that I can see the logic. The venue will only require minor…

Hello my dears. What can I tell you? Well looking at the seven day forecast we really are in for a week of nothingness. Nothingness with occasional damp patches, with many areas of little to look at being partially obscured by thinning clouds, especially in and around the Tottingham Hotspurs. Azza Blud, Dances With Stones and 3MP are all named in the England squad. What joy. Lord only knows what physical fate awaits them courtesy of the Monteschwarzers. Lennon’s form has been poor so far this season – just in case you had been living in an Afghan cave -…
This Saturday would be a copper bottomed opportunity for the Lilywhites to disprove my ‘bunch of feckless drunkards’ theory and come out swinging and wallop Aston Villa. I’m not being miserable in fact I am still getting letters of complaint from the neighbours under the ‘No Excessive Mid-Week Wooping’ clause in my tenancy agreement. It’s just that the victory in the Champions League was fab, but it has to be said that they would have been fortunate to have ended up three goals ahead of a decent Premiership side based on that performance. So it will be just dandy if…
I’m finding it hard to look forward to this next game. I ought to be salivating. Champions League football at The Lane. But a part of me (my brain) is asking if our valiant boys do show up and play as well as they ought to, does this mean they won’t bother against Aston Villa and we throw away even more valuable Premiership points? The problem is that every door you open, misery has already sneaked in first. Players injured. Players out of form. Players not being played, Players on the books that critically over valued and consequently cannot be…
Wenger’s weekly email from their OS is written as ever, with all the charm and ambiguity of a report from the Stasi. ‘We faced the game we expected to face at Sunderland on Saturday and I felt overall our central defence and our goalkeeper dealt well with the situations we faced. I believe the performance was good overall. We had problems starting in the first half but in the second half we played very well with ten men and were in control of the game. Unfortunately in the 95th minute they equalised. We showed we could battle, we showed we…
Oh this will be a fun game. Lennon raucously jeered at West Brom by the faithless, a stunned silence from those wot made the the trip to see the second half collapse against ze Germans. Now indoors to Wolves. Chelsea have already won the league, you did get that memo? Mick McCarthy then. He has little to do to gee his charges up. ‘We come to this spot of yon Londinium afore and it weren’t all bad, iy ye recall correctly.’ Now this is where old Arry is going to go into to a twitch meltdown, as to distinguish one’s…
West Bromwich Albion away, eh? Stone me. That’ll mean getting on the bus. That’ll mean getting up earlier than normal. Sometime this job squeezes the very last drops of goodwill out of a man. Where’s my iPod? Random thoughts perhaps, from someone who earns more in a week than you or I earn in a year. Maybe it is the lot of a long suffering Spurs fan to dwell upon just how this mob will let us down. If that is the case then where does this depressive attitude arise from? Years in the wilderness? Nice try but it’s not…
Tottingham Hotspur are set to play their first home fixture on Yom Kippur for five years – despite asking the Premier League to take the significance of the date into account. Spurs as some of you might have heard, have a sizeable Jewish following host Wolves on Yom Kippur. A club spokesman told the Jewish News, ‘ We always put in a request for religious holidays to be avoided when arranging fixtures. We are a multi-denominational club and we always put in a request for all religious holidays to be avoided when arranging fixtures. However, due to the sheer number…
I might have drawn the odd, ‘lazy barsteward’ thoughts from some when simply C&P’ing some of your more cogent moments, but this has got to be the brass ring of easy blogs.
