I’ve been offered a mad and completely unique opportunity by Samsung for Harry Hotspur readers. They are only letting me have their advertising space at Piccadilly Circus for a day. The plan is to feature 10 What Matters Most About Football Tweets from readers. Your tweet will scroll together with your Twitter name on the most iconic advertising space in London. The whole thing will be filmed by Samsung and you’ll get sent the clip.It’s 140 characters or less of course and needs to be something positive, punchy and free from obscenity etc etc. “Watching Paul Gascoigne’s free kick…

Good afternoon. The blogs today are like Joey Barton on buttered roller skates. Thick and fast. Ba-dum-ching Thanks to HH reader Snap for the heads up – it’s reported in sport.nl that the Jan the man is a done deal *and at long naffing last* I hear you cry. This is the Google translate edition. The issue in the delay appears to have centered around the phrase ‘15%’. The Belgian captain of the champion next week signed Tottenham Hotspur and the left-footed defender of AZ should forget him in the Arena. Ajax and The Spurs were already agreed on the transfer of 10…
Good afternoon. A while back I got the opportunity to fire some questions from HH readers to the coolest crooner in the game, Terry Venables. Mr El Tel himself. Wembley FC were secured with the support of its sponsor Budweiser, the lead partner of The FA Cup, which earlier in the year recruited former England manager Terry Venables as the club’s Technical Advisor. The non-league football team that plays eight leagues below the top flight, have announced they’ve assembled a group of ex-international players including David Seaman, Ray Parlour, Martin Keown, Graeme Le Saux, Claudio Caniggia (Argentina) and Brian McBride…
Good morning. First up, it seems the Laurent Blanc spiel in the popular printed has finally bitten the dust. The Daily Mail leading the charge with the news that Joao Moutinho heads ‘AVB’s hit list’ with The Daily Star valuing the player at £32m if you will. For those still clinging the possibility that Villas Boas won’t be the new man this morning’s prices have the former Portogeezer at 1/12 and the Frenchman at 12/1. David Bentley’s name has surfaced like a poorly weighted body in the Thames. This time it’s the suggestion that he could be off on loan…
Good evening. Some more bones and over ripe vegetables to throw into your transfer window stock as you quite naturally ask yourself, ‘why me and what’s with the stock, it’s June?’ This from the secure unit of the Tottingham message board that is FTL and a geezer wot intros the goods wiv …’Has never sent me anything like this before and dunno where he would’ve got it from so take it as you please:’ Vertonghen WILL be a Spurs player come July 1st? Sig WILL be a Spurs player come July 1st? Loic Remy WILL be a spurs player come…
Good morning. Boy this week has dragged on – like of those interminable B movies, one of those westerns that still occasionally turn up in the schedules starring nobody you’ve ever heard of bar Ronald Reagan when he was fourteen. Lots of dialogue gets exchanged. Lots. The plot line is pretty straightforward. Everything starts of calmly. Then there’s an incident. This is triggers a shake up and the cast harrumph backwards and forwards, mostly on horse back (this is usually accompanied by very urgent music) until they confront evil and vanquish it a bit. I think I’ve actually reached a…
Good afternoon. Here is what I have and I’ll leave you good and wise people to pick the bones out of it. I took a speculative punt (is there any other) on some information from a chap on Facebook recently that came via our man in the field …Seattle Spurs Guy. Since then the boy hotspurs magic it is alleged by the owner that that his pages membership was boosted by some 500%. Well, I liked not only what I read but the distinctly decent way in which the information was presented. No ‘look at me’, no riddles just what the man…
Good evening viewers. We trade seven days – we kick a non stop operation. This whole Gylfi Sigurdsson thing started what a few days back and it seemed interesting but a little implausible. What’s not up for debate is that he had an outstanding season at Swansea and to land him would be well… schweet. From Kilhari on Spurs Community then. I don’t post regularly as you can see. I’m not someone ‘ITK’ but found out from someone important today (and saw photo) of Sigurdsson having successfully completed his medical in a Spurs top with my source (who’s one of my bosses).…
