Good afternoon. I was having a ponder, trying to work out who in the long term might replace Chomical Arry and his coaching staff. My mind just couldn’t keep a straight face. The only applications that could might come close would be from The Three Stooges or indeed just about any assortment of black and white slapstick stars. “I’ll be rooting for Chelsea I want to see an English team win it anyway and I think they can do it.” Arry Redschnapps April 21st 2012 “I’d be a liar if I said I want Chelsea to win the Champions League. I want Bayern…

Good evening. I’m losing the will to live here. The longer I support Spurs the longer the idea of a living will appeals. The idea of losing the susceptibility to hope and having something up my sleeve so when at my most vulnerable, I was still making lucid decisions. This just in and maybe I’m overreacting by telling you I believe it to be grim news. The Arry to England saga is a murky pit of negotiations with the FA acting like it’s inevitable… a foregone conclusion. The player revolt reported wasn’t so much of a mutiny rather a group of…
Good news? Surely not?! Tom Collomosse on the Evening Standard is running with a positive piece on the recovery of Eunice Kaboom. The suggestion is that the French Goliath could be back for the Blackburn game. Standard Sport understands the Frenchman’s knee is now responding well to treatment and that it is possible he will start working with the first-team squad again this week. Let’s hope this is the case. The article finishes on the note the Danny Rose would step in for the injured Benny Ekotto. In the week that the word on the street is that we’ve had…
Good morning. The Felix Magath story on the front of Kicker magazine linking him with the Spurs job looks at first glance to make for a welcome distraction. Magath is the Vfl Wolfsburg manager. And the tale is an inspired punt. Alas, the assertion is merely conjecture at this stage. Felix has hit that point in the show where his contract needs renegotiating as it is due to expire in 2013. Magath has apparently expressed an interest in managing abroad in the past but the article quotes him as saying, “I want to work here long term, such is agreed…
Hello. Misery is alive, Misery is alive! Oh, This whole house is going to be full of romance, Oooh, I am going to put on my Liberace records! There are of course some who believe me to be some twisted firestarter that revels in this gloom. I wish. Well I don’t; but you know what I mean. And so now another one bites the dust as Benny is thought out for the season with a discombobulated hairbrush. The issue here is that whilst you can never predict injuries, you can at least acknowledge that they are more likely to happen…
Good morning. A man’s got a heart, hasn’t he? Joking apart — hasn’t he? And though I’d be the first one to say that I wasn’t a saint I’m finding it hard to be really as black as they paint… If you’re worried about the health of your heart then one pointedly obvious precaution is not to play football with and then swap shirts with Faroe Islands goalkeeper Poul Thomas Dam. This player – it has been alleged on Twitter this morning – has only swapped shirts with two players in his career. Fabrice Muamba and Piermario Morosini. Mr Muamba has been…
Good afternoon. This is straightforward enough. We’ve 4 games left which could net a maximum of 12 points. The manager says he’s confident of winning all four games. Here are my thoughts. Blackburn. Blackburn’s miserable season has now reached the point whereby they are reliant on someone else committing hari kari. Which is unlikely. The fact they did Norwich is surreal. My guess on current form is 1-1. Bolton. If only to lessen the likelihood of me having to listening to tinnitus voice of Owen Coyle mumbling on and on in over earnest tones about Mabrice Fuamba and the, ‘Parklays…
On an upbeat note Kyle Walker has been announced as the winner of The PFA Young Player Of The Year Award. He beat Bale, Welbeck, Sturridge, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aguero. I’ve been critical of Walker. I’m an old fashioned boy and have these crazy thoughts flash through my head when I hear a guy is a defender, I expect that to be his specialist area. Yes he has pace. But it you went to see your GP with a sore throat and he gave you a prescription for verruca ointment you wouldn’t immediately think, ‘Okay, but I bet he has a mean…
Good evening. I’m not Max Clifford as you know, I can barely hold water let alone a tale. So what I initially felt was perhaps loose talk in realation to our dressing room ‘dynamic’, prior to the FA Cup semi appears to have gathered some all too credible pace. Hamstring? Adebayor bailed before the QPR game because he was as sick and tired of Redschnapp’s extraordinary mismanagement as the rest of us. From what I’ve been told this evening, Arry’s, ‘Bale in the middle etc’ rubbish against QPR – despite common sense on a ‘tight’ pitch …was pretty much a fit…
