Good morning. The W is NSFW is for whiners. I thought it was a shrewd move to stay offline last night before I had a moment and fell somewhere between Michael Douglas’ character in Falling Down and Gerald Ratner. Liberal amounts of Heineken, the arrival of £150’s worth (or so it may well have been) of pizza and the tinnitus of Sky Sports news aided me ‘turning in’ relatively early. Your common or garden ITK knows somewhere between little or nothing. So why get so worked up? When your 5 year old child comes up to you and tells you…

Good afternoon. Based upon the live TV footage courtesy of Sky Sports News just now of Hugo Loris arriving at The Lodge, it is ambitious to contest that the L’Olympique Lyonnais goal keeper will sign for Spurs today. Last night of course, things looked like they’d gone done down the tubes. This was published on the L’Olympique Lyonnais official site last night. L’Olympique Lyonnais informe ne pas avoir trouvé d’accord avec Tottenham pour le transfert d’Hugo Lloris. Les propositions transmises ce soir par Tottenham se sont éloignées très sensiblement du principe qui avait été acté le 26 août et qui…
Good afternoon. Here it is then, the third show of our sensational Spurs podcast radio show type thing. This week we discuss the West Brom game and specifically the tactical side of things focusing upon the substitutions and use the phrase ‘taking our chances’ about thirty seven times. Velvet Underground fans will enjoy our homage to Croatia and those that prefer their metal heavy there’s an opportunity to hear the soon to be smash hit single, ‘Smoke On The Friedel’. Regular readers will be stunned to hear an ‘in defence of Jenas’ conversation, there is of course transfer chat and…
Vide Cor Meum ushers in the first strands of morning light. He has been preparing for this day from the moment he survived an Amyl Nitrate overdose twenty minutes after the last transfer window closed. Gently woken from a medically induced coma at an undisclosed location, a woozy middle aged man takes his first few sips of nuromuscular blockers in solution. So here we are once again then. I was toying with the idea of a live blog but to be honest until someone makes one that is actually ‘liver’ than this format there’s little point. So this page…
Good evening. This from the Official Site. The Olympique Lyonnais Official Site, that is. This was published at a minute after 2000hrs this evening. L’Olympique Lyonnais informe ne pas avoir trouvé d’accord avec Tottenham pour le transfert d’Hugo Lloris. Les propositions transmises ce soir par Tottenham se sont éloignées très sensiblement du principe qui avait été acté le 26 août et qui avait permis d’ouvrir les discussions entre le joueur et le club londonien. In short the statement says that the proposal submitted tonight by Spurs is significantly different to a proposal that was agreed in principle four days ago. …
Good afternoon. The name of João Filipe Iria Santos Moutinho has been doing the rounds for a while now. I think the most conventional report was in the Daily Star suggesting that a bid from the Tottinghams of some £20M had been lodged. Just on the money side of things, the player comes with a history one could at best described as a near unfathomable mess. Try this quote from his Wiki page for size: ‘On 3 August 2011, Porto partnered with Soccer Invest Fund to buy back 37.5% of Moutinho’s economic rights. The private investment fund acquired 15% after…
Good evening. There are a great number of reasons I do this whole blogging malarky. But you’re in luck! And I won’t begin to bore you all with a detailed explanation on this particular occasion. But my thanks to Wayne Spring for choosing to share this genuine masterpiece with us. In September 1882 a new beginning dawned, Football gained a legend when the Hotspur formed. 2 years later the naming was complete, When Tottenham Hotspur became the name upon the sheet. Then in 1899 a home was in the frame, And the Spurs found theirs when they moved…
Good afternoon. One thing for absolute certain emerged in our first two Premier League games of the season and it was how abysmally shy of the mark we were in the ‘Luka Modric’ department. Yeah, yeah strikers. Yeah, yeah a goalkeeper. But the real problem was highlighted when Rafa went off against West Brom. Moussa Sidi Yaya Dembélé is a perfect fit for Andrè Villas-Boas. He has all the dynamism and all the league experience. He’s an attacking midfielder and with Pathe News Boy hospitalised and the Croatianist gone it’s all good.
Good morning. Lloris’s arrival at The Lane is imminent we’re told. One commentator on Spurs Community suggesting that after negotiations didn’t seem to have achieved too much s few weeks back we apparently received a call a day or two ago essentially saying, ‘if you still want him, we’re good to go.’ Friedel is owed a debt of thanks by Spurs fans for stepping into a situation that was pretty horrible. Gomes, once one of the finest goal keepers in the world reduced to a wincing shadow of his former self. Moussa Demebele is allegedly a Spurs player too. This…
