Hallo. I’ve deliberately separated the analysis of the players from the manager because I maintain we’ve a great squad and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is bigger than one chimpanzee with a saucepan stuck on his head. The lads are in their twenties and I don’t know about you but I was definitely an idiot when I was that age. God knows where my brain would have been if I was a millionaire as well as an idiot. Footballers are rarely better than their managers and coaches. When this does happen it is quite common for the players in this position…

Good morning Client Reference numbers. Arry Redschnapps lied in court. He said under oath to the prosecuting QC, “I’m a fantastic football manager!” The grounds for making an accusation of perjury need to be solid and so I’ll lay them out for you in an easy to follow fashion. But first, let’s kick off with yesterday. Yesterday we witnessed the absolute crème de menthe of Arry’s managerial career. No you dopes, I’m not talking about the performance on the pitch against Norwich. Pah, that was just a football match. I’m talking about his post match BBC interview here. You do…
Hello. I used to work in the rag trade about 100 years ago. We used to get these occasional calls from Gerry. The head honcho. Le Grande Fromage. ‘You know Harry, it gives me no pleasure to make these calls.’ You know the drill… your heart sank as you knew he had taken seriously some idiot so empowered by their own sense of self importance that they had punctured the cognisance of a man who was simply, probably – naively- trying to do the right thing. That’s how I’ve felt for some time now. I’m Gerry making one of those calls. The difference…
Norwich indoors it is. The tactics board is common sense but of course we are trapped in 1986 tinnitus nightmare where the only song playing is Genesis’ Land Of naffin’ Confusion. The facts of the matter are that Bale drifting diagonally in just clogs up space that Rafa and Modders could be using to far better effect. fig.1=Bale crosses from the left, fig.2=Pathe News Boy feeds the hungry with neat through balls, fig.3=Lennon crosses from the left. I’d bin Arry and install Pleat. Millions and millions of pounds worth of players and a manager that either doesn’t know what he’s…
If Liverpool fans are struggling to know what the hell they were doing when they cheered the signing of Kenny Dalglish, John Henry must be feeling about one hundred and fifty million times more confused.
Liverpool sit 15 points away from a top four finish and even the grueling 18 game campaign of the financially unflattering Europa Cup seems desperately out of reach.
Well my insistence that the manager is to blame has had a mixed reception! What’s more of a minor worry is the fact that some can’t grasp if one appreciates some facets of a manager one can still loathe others. Look, I know I’m bipolar but put huge effort into that. It would be truly great if those who start squawking about the good that Arry had done and how bad things were under so and so could actually embrace that this is online, not at The Lane so we can all speak freely? We ‘lost’ a 10 point lead……
Good afternoon. No, me neither. I’m not quite sure was the most futile investment of my time today. Having to stand in the same room as a property agent who thought she was having a conversation with me as she was talking or sit and watch our lot wander about aimlessly for the bulk of 93 minutes. Old man Steptoe’s line in Live Now, P.A.Y.E. Later, ‘We was lions …led by donkeys’ when describing the gruesomeness of trench warfare to a tax inspector sprang to mind. About 50 times… Yes, Chris Foy was irritating. But in this pre video technological age…
Hello fight fans. A quick confession, I called it wrong on Martin O’Neil. But with that admission I must qualify matters so you don’t mistake me for me suddenly becoming one of those solemn and devoutly devout converts who always believed him to be a one man footballing maestro since way back when. During his tenure at Villa, I’d go as far to say that he didn’t stink the place out as I wasn’t one for conveniently overlooking the pots and pots of money he spent achieving very very little. At Sunderland he has taken a squad of players who…
