Good afternoon. So today’s the day that a new breed of dastardly, ghostly and stealthy itks turn up to casually say, ‘As I told you on Monday, Jan Vertonghen has signed!.’ The response to this is …eh? Who is this guy? I didn’t even I know I was following/you were on this forum?! Has he signed? Who the hell knows. All that is certain is that the collective groan from Spurs fans nearing exhaustion will be audible globally if the player makes another, ‘I dunno what’s happening interview.’ Roger ‘Daily Mail’ Morgan of Spurs Odious says that we’re asking £4.5M…

Bonjourno. A genuine sense of moving forward is the vibe I’m being told about. Take that last Sunday Express article, work out the diametric opposite and that is where the club is presently at. Adebayor is not ‘done’, but the man himself is really keen to be part of next season’s campaign with us. The change of coach hasn’t effected his position as he is keen to prove he’s worth a first team shirt under ‘whoever’ , which is superb. The second snippet is in relation this Oscar chap. The attacking Mid from Brazil. Whilst the exact figure isn’t confirmed,…

Good morning. And may I be the first to say, Let the shipwrecks of others be your markers in the storm, mush. For those of you wanting to a fill a comedy void in your lives …there is a full scale meltdown occurring at The Emptycrates and I suggest that we all suspend our prejudices and take a passing interest… Arsenal haven’t won anything, not a pot or a pan in years. But what they have done is followed a business model that delivered a whopping big stadium and Champions League prestige and Champions League monies, season after season. And it hasn’t…

Good evening. I tell you this much. I’m dead excited. The appointment of Andres Villas Boas should prove to be a genuine coup. And here’s my thinking behind why… AVB’s pedigree and limited past successes fill me with hope. Why should they do otherwise? They appear a fair reflection of the man. Add to the mix Sir Bobby Robson and Jose Mourinho – two of the greatest footballing minds of what, the last two generations –  both showed him enormous respect and what have we got? A man that one of the richest men in footballing history – Roman Abramovich -…

Good afternoon. Like buses Tottenham deals. Nothing for an age and then two turn up at once. As do sources. This from  Brynjar Ingi Erluson ?@brynjarerluson  You can expect announcement of his signing to Spurs tomorrow or last by Friday. 90% done according to Icelandic sources. Great to see that Spurs did lose out here on some daft detail or other. Blimey,  a proactive Tottenham. Whatever next I wonder  ;-)

Good morning. Reports emerging from the City of London right now that Andres Villas Boas is indeed the manager/coach/most recent ginger person to have been employed at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. He’s in for an interesting time. Arry’s mates in the press will be campaigning in earnest. Brace yourselves for leaked exclusives that Andre’s favourite sandwich is Newborn Baby, Lettuce and Tomato; that the genetic experiment in The Boys From Brazil was in fact real and that Andre was the sole survivor. Stuff like that. Good luck and welcome aboard. BIOYAVBC!

Good evening. This just in courtesy of round about 300 people then. The gentleman in the sunglasses is allegedly one Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas. The location allegedly Kensington, London. The time? Today. One thing is for sure, the instantly dislikeable pilchards either side of him haunt  that particular postcode in some number. Graham Roberts was on talkSPORT the old rogue, tempting and teasing us like some big curvy burlesque bint flashing us the merest hint of ITK knicker elastic.  There’s Arab money on the cards.  I’d prefer an investment over a buyout. Levy & Co at the helm all…

Good afternoon. You may or may not be aware of the horse manure in this mornings Sunday Express. It’s difficult to feign surprise that a paper like this would run such a piece. The Express’ columnists include its former editor, Peter Hill a man who according to Nick Fagge, a former Express journalist himself  who in evidence at the Leveson Inquiry said of Hill, ‘He was unconcerned with the accuracy of McCann related stories, so long as they managed to sell papers.’  Next up is Anne Widdecomb. Boy, here’s bag of tricks. An entrenched anti abortionist who denies the existence of climate change. Anne’s personal…

Good evening.  I’m serious. Looking around the Net since his inexplicable ‘interview’ on Sky late this afternoon and I now want to voice concern over his mental state.  When he was managing us at full steam, 8 points from 2 games and all that jazz well, yes he did wheel out plenty of ‘triffics’ and ‘for sures’ but it was little more than anyone with a bit of character having perfectly normal idiosyncrasies. I’m not for a moment suggesting a man frequently using the same phrases and a similar style of speaking is an indication of mental fragility. But based upon…
