Good evening. I’ve been weighing up the pros and cons of being more direct on this whole Muamba business for a day or two but the player’s recovery seems a near platinum clad juncture to actively lose even more readers. Come on, you can’t have it both ways. A self confessed hit whore [hello fans :winke:] driving his publicity vehicle into a brick wall won’t come as easy to some. A dream come true. And on a school night, I tell you! Unquestionably brilliant news from numerous accredited sources aplenty is that Fabrice Muamba is not only alive but he’s also…

Good morning. Tomorrow night is all about Tottenham getting back on track. The desire to land 3 points and wishing a stranger who suffered a heart attack well aren’t mutually exclusive. The issue of the players ‘being in the right place emotionally’ has been mooted and in such instances it’s the responsibility of the individuals that feel affected to make this known to staff and they will of course be welcome to sit this one out and an organisation as big as THFC will I am convinced get them any help they might need in this direction. Here’s my team to…
Good morning. This came in last night and after having a chat this morning with the people involved I think it’s something well worth sharing. Contributions are being sought for what looks to be an exciting project called, ‘Tottenham Anthology’. The idea is get all those hair on the back of moments to do with Spurs all wrapped up in one book. Here’s some blurb. We want your Spurs memories, anecdotes and photographs to aid the compilation of Tottenham : Anthology. Commissoned by a major UK publishing house, Tottenham Anthology is set upon harnessing the visceral, as every contribution is an emotional pooling of…
Good afternoon. Now the Stoke game is confirmed as on we can and indeed ought make a welcome return to focusing on football. I remember when I first discovered Woody Allen. A few live recordings of his stand up and then ‘Without Feathers’. Anyway there was a sketch about a ransom demand and his father’s very poor reading habits. Today …I discovered a London Evening Standard interview with Henry James Redknapp, footballing supremo of this parish published some 3 days ago. ”Harry Hotspur for the best reheated leftovers this side of Stone Henge.’ “Finishing top four is not a must [to…
Good morning. The game against Bolton was quite rightly abandoned. By the rules the game ought to be rescheduled in theory for the second Wednesday after the original which would take us to the 28th of this month. Some perspective to those recoiling at the crass, insensitive suggestion of the football world not skipping a beat, on the 6th of February 1958 the Munich Air Disaster occured killing 23 people including 8 of the Manchester United team and 3 members of United staff. On the 19th of February Manchester United played Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. The last victim…
Fabrice Muamba collapsed live on TV at The Lane yesterday evening in what has been reported as a ‘cardiac incident’. After an excruciating period of physios and medical staff attending him he was stretchered off and it was announced he was rushed to hospital. The scenes were chilling. Not because he had some class of heart attack – in the UK alone there are about 275,000 heart attacks annually. So they are not uncommon by any stretch – but to witness one in the middle of a game of football is as about as disconcerting as it would be if…
Good afternoon fight fans. Bolt On in the FACUP make it is then. And before any examination of our own can of worms transpires we need to stare long and hard into the face of the opposition. Well, in actual fact, not too long. The Wanderers have had an abysmal season. The Trotters sit fourth from bottom only as the suicide wish has been stronger in a hopeless Wigan, a Wolves side that when in free fall was actually sabotaged by their own board and a QPR mob that are literally a bonfire of vanities. ‘Form goes out the window…
Guten Abend. The near feverish allure of the old Premiership rupees combined with a resurgent season have only added vim and vigor to the Tottingham’s place in transfer tittle tattle. Eden Hazard’s name is still doing the rounds. No shocker there. One minute he’s saying we’d fit the bill (bless him) the next he’s flattered by interested in interest from Sluralix. The boy’s done well, hence perhaps the initial Premiership interest from Auntie Wenger. Bottom line is he’s an arguably polished Taarabt. To be frank I’m struggling to see the allure. Another name doing the rounds is that of Moussa Dembele.…
Good morning. First up, a massive ‘thank you’ to all those who took the time to mail in about being part of the Hotspur’s Half Hour show. I’ve sent out a group mail to get the Vox Pops firing in, but will be getting back to everyone individually to organise making all of you household names. **** In more mundane news Tottenham supremo Arry Redschnapps has decided to narrate the hunt for Fabio Capello’s replacement and analyse the options available to the FA. For them. This is a move I can only describe as ambitious. Clearly the inertia in the…
