Good afternoon. John Terry may have walked from Westminster Court clutching a ‘Not Guilty’, but his footsteps always tread sewage wherever he goes. I spotted this and it’s an excellent summary of what went on link.  What is vital is that he is now properly dealt with by the FA and quite rightly done for bringing the game into disrepute. Something he, his father, his mother and his jackal of a brother have been doing for years.  Moutinho has been valued at €30M by Porto so say TuttomercatoWeb this morning. Which immediately says two things. He’s not priced to sell…

Hello young lovers. Jermain ‘What? What? I didn’t see you! Bruv, it was on so I took it’ Defoe has been in talks with Reading.  I’ve mixed feelings about the Midget Gem. He’s scored so many goals, so many important ones. Specifically ones that got us out of schtuck. Yet his spiel his routine lacked variety. Receives ball, turns, shoots, winces.  Where would he fit in under the André Villas Boas high line? I do not know. What I do know is that he was struggling to get starts under Arry, the manager that has been a fan of his…

Good afternoon. This from long time HH reader Bill and well worth publishing.  Dear Sir, We wake the other morning to the news that for us, Tottenham Hotspur, the Premiership Title is no-longer a just a fanciful dream or the domain of those with the budget to take seriously.  This should now become our target and with increased commitment and resources winning it will soon become our main objective. It’s difficult to judge this news, as it has been reported from half of those on the outside looking in that we are in hell at the moment.  We had the sh*t kicked…

Good afternoon. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. I frequently opt for a Hawaiin shirt and perhaps few balloon animals, just as a simple ice breaker. Andrea Villas Boas’ first encounter as our head honcho with the press  this afternoon was to his and indeed, our credit both classy and considered. All the propaganda and disinformation doing the rounds courtesy of Arry’s hyena hack pals will now subside.  Boas is clearly an intelligent and polished communicator who instead of skirting the issue of his previous role at Second Hand Fridge (which was bound to proliferate) he addressed…

Good evening.  From a erstwhile very reliable source and I see (before I am barked at by some child with an attention deficit disorder) also ‘on message’ with The Goat on Spurs Community to a certain extent… Moutinho’s recent unchecked praise for the boy Boas looks like it weren’t just throwaway remarks. Word is that serious efforts on both sides are being made to make this happen.  Also the talk of Carvalho which will obviously split opinion is thought to be accurate. My guy in a refreshing expression of honesty says that he is less certain of this as – despite…

Good morning. This might be another ‘Vertonghen’ by the looks of it. Which is to say that it’s all over bar the fine tuning of the fee. It is important to remember that football player transfers these days are highly complex beasts. And buying or selling with Spurs is not dissimilar to arranging a hire purchase deal on a second hand washing machine. Lyon goalie Hugo Loris is supposedly happy to get measured up for a Lilywhite shirt with L’Equipe among others suggesting a fee around about the €20m mark. This would be a super duper addition as the brave…

Good evening viewers. Day one at the John Terry trial. And may I take this opportunity to share a sterling tip for any budding racists in the house. According to George Carter-Stephenson QC, you can call someone a naffing black cnut providing you maintain you are only sarcastically repeating words that someone wrongly thought you had previously used, ‘in response to goading rather than by way of exaggerated and instant querying of a perceived false allegation. ‘   Thank God that’s what was going on. For a few fleeting moments me and the rest…

Guten Abend.  We’ve never had it so good. The wretched irony of those words have yet to be proved on the old green stuff but the manner in which the Club are conducting their business this window thus far is pleasing.  A brand new hot shot manager and one of the Eredivisie’s if not Europe’s finest signed sealed and delivered.  Now what?! Modric is off to Los Blancos with a fee suspected to be in excess of £30m.  The interesting tidbit of the weekend is that Stefan Freund is rumoured to be returning to The Lane in a coaching capacity.…

Good evening. I missed the John Cross interview with Smatterfaeces earlier today.  But I have it now. My particular thanks to @JellySmiff for very kindly supplying the required URL. Smatterfaeces kicks off with a token nod at being allowed onto the premises at The Lane. If I were Levy & Co. I’d remove this crumb’s access. Who cares if he likes going there? His job is to report and may I add at this juncture I don’t even care if it’s objective, biased or bi-curious. What isn’t on is him swanning about the gaff being all chummy. But then once on air…
