Good morning. I managed to watch most of first half of the Red Bulls game before the commentary snuck into my brain and began carrying out a living autopsy… so then I opted to forward fast through the second half stopping only to watch the goals. There’s no need to get to uptight. We won and it was only a preseason. But there are some areas nevertheless of mild concern.  Bentley I want to work. I never had a hate on for the guy. But if Bale is determined to pursue his vision as a number 9 or 7 or…

Good morning. After the Charlie Adam blog and dealing the moronic …the caption comp was just the tonic. Thank you. Some cracking stuff from Freeeki on Spurs Community then. Zeki Fryers to Spurs has been completed for a while, not sure why it isn’t on OS but in my source’s words “Sir Alex was taking the p*ss” offering him £1900 per week. Daniel offered £10k so it was a no brainer. 18 months ago he thought the guy was gonna get released but came in to his own last season and reckons he’s gonna be big news. He also said…

Good evening. Despite trying to take a what I had hoped was a thoughtful approach on the Charlie Adam business the abysmal contributions from Liverpool fans frankly ranged from mind numbing to migraine inducing.  So let’s make like Madonna and get back into the groove with a good old fashioned caption competition.  First prize is a fortnight in David Sullivan’s cellar, second prize a weekend and so on.  Funniest caption suggestion wins the major prize. HH’s decision is final. No cash alternatives. Your home may be at risk if you go out and leave all the doors and windows open.…

Liverpool owner John Henry fired ‘King’ Kenny Dalglish for a number of reasons. One was certainly the commercial damage and general disrepute that was achieved by backing a racist. If Adam pulls another stunt like the tackle on Bale – that took place in a friendly – in a Premiership game …it’ll be Brendan Rodgers taking the call from the States.

Good afternoon. Yesterday got into a spot of trouble on Twitter for having the affront to Tweet ***** and ask him to stop nicking a salary under false pretenses from us. I don’t make a habit of approaching celebs on there. Well I called David Baddiel a middle class beardy. And I asked Claudine Keane if she and Bob had ever considered a suicide pact …ah hold up, it might be me. Hugo Lloris then. Of late, I get an increasing sense of ‘intolerance’ from Spurs fans. The demand for vending machine / Pot Noodle speeds isn’t just exclusive to…

Good morning. The old ‘lots of people attending The Games dressed up as empty seats’ gag was doing the rounds yesterday. It seems that Olympic jingoism only extends as far as telling everyone how simply marvellous and breathtaking the festival is.  Actually buying a ticket to go and sit through a minority sport that only exists at ‘this level’ thanks to The Stupid Tax™ lottery funding is stretching things to far. Lord Coe has emerged from his crypt to get to the bottom of this situation as Great Britain now looks certain to medal in the ’16 Day Fiasco’ event.  A LOLOG…

Good morning. The morning after the night before. They gave us a parachuting Queen – complete with the most ridiculous continuity error ever shown on telly since Jacques Santini was unveiled as manager – jumped off the chopper in daylight, landed in darkness. Betty’s dresses certainly hold the old wind back, eh? We got JM Barrie, a homage to the NHS and GOSH, IKB aka KB who couldn’t stop smiling and as he was so ITK that we’d also be seeing a Bond, a Bean and a Becks on a boat not to mention a Beatle …all twirling endlessly on a…

Good afternoon. I knew today was at best going to be a bit iffy from the moment I was blasted by some Peruvian looking geezers wearing the full red Indian garb in the city centre this morning.   They were playing that timeless South American classic, ‘Riders In  The Storm’ which I kid you not segued seamlessly into, ‘Lady In Red.’  And so to Spanish media Marca.com who are claiming that Sahin is Emptycrates bound.  They say that the idea of a Premiership loan was The Special One’s idea and whilst suggested as a makeweight in ‘Operation Modric’ it was…

Good afternoon. Gareth Bale’s in the public eye. Not for his ear adjustment, rather the fact that he swerved playing football in the Olympics for Team GB. Sepp Blatter wants the Welsh wizard banned. Nice work Sepp. With all the corpulent corruption that exists in the modern… oh hang on, you’ve been on the take since ’88 so the route of this is almost certainly down to trying to some elaborate five star junket this summer…  “If a club does not release a player then this association can come to FIFA and we will then ban this player during the…
