Good morning. We’re four days away from knowing what the entire season was all about. Of course, there are those that will step lively to remind me that we already have a good idea, as we’ve finished above the Blue Racists for the first time since 1896 1996. For better of worse the game has changed. The Champions League has devalued everything that neighbours it. Dalglish took Liverpool to two Wembly finals and won a pot; yet anyone impressed by this is treated like someone who points at aeroplanes. It’s Champions League or bust. This season Spurs fans found…

Good afternoon. I instinctively like A&E. Not the world’s greatest footballer, but arguably the coolest left back in the west. It’s a dog eat dog world and those hanging upon the every word of ‘footballers’ sometimes forget they have entered into a world where John Terry’s ethical compass is broken but not uncommon. I like Benny because he doesn’t pretend. No newspaper clippings of Spurs ‘greats’ became oiled at their corners then dried out as the Blutak stuck then decayed over time on his bedroom wall. He freely acknowledges that he’s a jobbing footballer who to his absolute credit gives…
Good morning fight fans. Fascinating development in the Jan Vertonghen mini saga as the player has let slip that it’s Spurs that are closest to landing him. What’s fascinating is that it’s now clear that Arry is not involved in the deal. Only a day or two ago our tight lipped supremo said, “He is a good player, a player I have looked at and watched, I think there are a lot of clubs interested in him though. So, that is all. “We haven’t gone anywhere with it. We haven’t spoken to the club. He is just a player I…
Guten Abend. ‘Zokora n. : An Ivorian device for clearing pigeons off a stadium roof.’ Spurs blog Earn Your Spurs has the footage of Le Zok replacing Emre’s wedding vegetables back from whence they came. I think the bloke got off lightly. Normally Didier puts balls into neighbouring car parks… Meanwhile in Gotham City …Jan Vertonghen has won the Eredivisie Player Of The Year award. We should seriously buy him. Not by accident, or casually but properly steam in and make it happen. Let’s hope that the board are as savvy in relation to what needs to be done as we…
Good morning. Difficult to know quite how to approach this. I can’t even fake incredulity over a season that was such a joy that has turned into, well …an ingrowing toenail. The soundtrack to the build up of the game itself wasn’t so much the cheery humming of Chas & Dave, more Arry making a series of backhanded confessions about his frankly unforgivable behaviour. He admitted that Levy & Co. plus others at the club thought he had been distracted by the England business. A backhanded way of acknowledging many of us want to kill him for abandoning us. He…
Good afternoon. Where to begin? Well Aston Villa are yet another side we’ve encountered this season who aren’t exceptional at playing football, but they are blatantly better managed than us since Arry, ‘went wrong’ on us. The away support was as ever, so excellent and the Villans might want to stop a while and ponder just who they need to direct their angst at. I get the frustration; but had we played you before the, ‘England’ fiasco we would’ve probably thumped you. Bale is giving everyone a migraine. He returns a pass then pings off centrally for the next slice…
Good evening. From the Exeter City site then… Exeter City Director Of Football Steve Perryman was taken to hospital during today’s match after feeling breathless. He is now comfortable in hospital and of course if there are any further updates you’ll read them here and on our Facebook andTwitter pages. In the all too unfortunately dismal world of football ‘stars’, Steve Perryman constantly demonstrates himself as man cut from the same cloth as men like Martin Chivers, Dave Mackay and Gary Mabbutt. A thoroughly decent chap. A huge get well soon from all of us, mate.
So here we go. Hold tight on the upper deck. Aston Villa’s form has been rotten for some time. A quagmire of losses and draws that have had their support almost too despondent to even rustle up a McLeish out campaign of much conviction. They odds are they won’t get relegated, but this by default. Thankfully for villans, there is some 24ct. rubbish beneath them. I’ve ruminated and cogitated over what to do about Danny Rose. My decision was to drop him and draft in Half Nelsen. I don’t rate either but based upon Danny’s last two showings Nelsen edges…
Good morning. I guess the start point here is when was there a time that weren’t concerned, borderline terrified even, about our transfer strategy? The popular debate seems permanently to be about landing that ever elusive ‘Hollywood’ striker. As thrilling as that prospect is, the home truth that few wish to face is getting the whole team tactically set up to effectively support whoever the front man or men might be. With Modric, Rafa, Bale and Azza across the middle there ought to be enough creativity to service anyone and everyone. For the umpteenth time, you build a team from…
