Now you know I don’t mean it. He’s not a boy anymore, Gareth’s almost certainly showered on numerous occasions within close proximity of the pigeon clearing Le Zok by now. *Note to self. In just one day I have both published a graphic semi nude male image and alluded to another seperate example of the same. Despite the advise of my lawyers, I must get a bird in very soon.* This is a competition as ever with not so much rules as guidelines. If you can incorporate an inbreate that wise cracks at bouncers …all for the good. However, the…

? Barring a case of mistaken identity on par with confusing Tommy Cooper for Ronnie Corbett, Tottenham Hotspur’s Club Captain Ledley King was nicked at around half two outside Punk Nightclub in Soho this morning. A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: “A twenty eight year old man was arrested on suspicion of ABH following an allegation of assault made by a man in his twenties.” The reports from the Beeb and the Telegraph go on to say that it is understood the aggreived declined the offer of medical attention. The offer to talk to the press wasn’t shunned however and for…
To paraphrase Greavsie, my apologies for not being in touch, but it’s great to be incommunicado with you all once more. Everton. An example to everyone really. Not much of a squad, no real household names and another season of achieving more than the sum of their parts might suggest. Responsible for some of the most turgid football of the season, but sitting seventh on it. A win for us would mean fifty points and more loose talk of European Tours. European Tour? Wasn’t that the name of the slow moving train we threw ourselves off earlier this season because…
A. A noice kippah toy Graham Roberts and Mickey Hazzard were operating off a wallpaper table on the High Road signing photos supposedly from 11am ’till 3pm. As they were still laughing and waving marker pens around at half five I can only presume they could have only seen more tenners if they had followed Placido Domingo and José Carreras into a Hall of Mirrors. These are my beyond essential, initial thoughts. West Brom are shocking. Unfortunately our season, bar the second half against Man Utd last week has been an exercise in mirroring. We play top four, we play…
A week of wound licking. Let’s hope we don’t have to endure another one quite like that anytime soon. So in the Lilywhite corner we have the Bantom weight champions of the N17 hearts and minds. Hopefully, regrouped and ready to wreak revenge upon those that next cross their path. Lurking in the other corner – more suspiciously than the bloke in the R Whites lemonade advert, we have …The Baggies. West Brom are officially a wounded beast. Which is to say they’re dangerous and badly need finishing off. A couple of slugs between the eyes at point blank will…
Welsh International, Mel Hopkins was signed by Spurs in 1952. He played 219 times for the Lilywhites before being flogged to Brighton for eight grand. Mel was joined at Albion by Bobby Smith of course. Mel was a giant of a man, a fleet of foot and a hard tackling full back who was greatly admired, once described as, ‘a big honest centre half with a nose any boxer would have been proud of..’ Mel was also held in high regard for his much valued coaching with schools in Brighton when he finished playing. HH hears via the highly esteemed…
Michael, the man behind the beautiful blog All Action No Plot has launched a book. I suggest you cash your gran’s pension and buy as many copies as you can. Here’s the blurb – Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has been blessed with more than its fair share of wonderful and entertaining players in its long and illustrious history. From goalscorers such as 1901 FA Cup-winning hotshot Sandy Brown through sixties goalgetter supreme Jimmy Greaves to 1990s saviour Jurgen Klinsmann, glamour has always been part of being idolised at Spurs – but so too has being something of a controversial maverick.…
Laugh? I very nearly bought a round. ‘Reports coming from Italy state that Tottenham full back Gareth Bale is being closely monitored by Juventus with a view to a bid being made by the Old Lady of Italian football in the summer. The young Welsh international was previously targeted by AC Milan and Roma but no official move was made by either side. Tottenham are reportedly open to the idea of offloading the 20 year old but wouldn’t do so for anything less than a reported £12m, which may be a fee that the Turin club is not willing to…
There is more about our physio room to worry me about tomorrow’s tie than a rag tag collective of N17 exes. Of those declared out I’d wait and see who gets off the coach. Sure, the ‘big’ games are still ahead of us, but by Christ Arry will want to bookend whatever we take from Le Ars*, Yanited and Cheatski with cold, hard points. The ones that may yet feature are Les, Charlie and even Ledders. Our man PaulHasIssues believes the list of absentees may be swollen by Dances With Stones and Sgt Wilson. Vey, innit? As far as Sunderland…
