Good evening. As ODM and I ran through our three hundred and forty seventh rehearsal this evening it emerged that I hold professional footballers in my ethical value system somewhere between concentration camp guards and concentration camps guards who are up for a bribe. They’re in in for the money baby. If it isn’t nailed down they want to nail it down. If they can nail it then they want to film said nailing on a wireless hand held device. If that thing isn’t actually another human then they want to plate said thing in platinum …and possibly precious stones.…

Good morning? If you were to take every collective drop of inner calm, tolerance and inner peace from Spurs fans at the moment you’d be lucky to fill an egg cup. Here’s a snippet to encourage many to pick up that piece of breakfast crockery and hurl it into the middle of next week. Spurs supporter @slkofficial has told me that Louis Saha was with the Tottenham playing contingent in the crowd at the Watford game …sporting a Spurs tracksuit. This has to indicate that his relationship is more than a friendly face that just happened to be in the…
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. The image I am about to share with you was curiously FedEx’d to the HH caravannette this evening by two very separate sources. One was @JellySmiff and the other a Chief Inspector Richard Scratcher of the Metropolitan Police Service who specifically asked to remain anonymous. What we are seeking is a caption in this matter. In the shape or form of either a thought or speech bubble. As the individual concerned has no shortage of comment himself, I am confident we can illicit sufficient support of the HH readership to close the net upon what…
Good morning. The only problem might be getting special dispensation from the FA to let him play in a Mexico shirt. Click image to launch.
Good afternoon. More transfer gossip this time courtesy of le10sport.com and the name in the frame is none other than Yann M’Vila. Yann as you may be aware was the subject of endless tales linking him to the Woolwich Wanderers. But le10sport are running a piece including this : According to our information, the club’s most active right now would be Tottenham. Discussions were held with representatives of the player and the English club is preparing to send an offer close to 12 million for M’Vila. Yann is a defensive mid by trade and therefore not a striker. More as…
Good morning. The Olympics forge ever onwards and Lord Vader’s Coe’s feel good factor does seem to be finally coming good. Or maybe it was just the effect of Boris hanging in mid air waiting for assistance while we all hoped it was the Team GB archers that were on their way …who knows. This is interesting and thanks to Google translate, simultaneously funny. Win win as they say. abola.pt are reporting that we, along with the Bindippers have made enquiries for the services of one Christian Atsu of you guessed it, Porto. The player is said of having €10M…
Good evening. Some people don’t photograph well no matter what the circumstance. I would imagine Anne Widdecombe almost certainly falls into that category. And so then here’s ‘our boy’ Luka Modric’s photograph for the Official site. As one wag commented earlier, all that’s missing is him holding up a newspaper as proof of life. Does Croatia have a Happy Mondays tribute band?
Good evening. Gregg Stobart is a correspondent for Goal.com and as has been highlighted on the COYS forum earlier today, there are some interesting interesting suggestions by him in relation to this transfer saga via Stobart’s Twitter account, @gstobart. The situation was relatively straightforward. Adebayor and City have a contract whereby he is due (let’s say) £175k a week. So if somebody else wants to take him the player has a choice to either take a pay cut (if City are willing to sell him) or for City to subsidise his salary, the latter happened while he was loaned to Spurs. It…
Good morning. Harry Kane scored nine goals for Milwall last year. Good news – I think – is that Timothy Sherwood has told NewsAtDen.com that Kane is in André Villas-Boas’ plans. “We don’t think there’s any value in loaning Harry out to the Championship again. He’s ticked that box. “He may need a few more games if he’s not in the frame at Tottenham, but he’s going to be given every opportunity to prove himself to the new manager. If the manager decides he’s not ready, that would be the only time we would consider loaning him out. “But as…
