Reality bites. Look I know you can’t win every game. I get that. But at the same time there are simple steps one can take to guard against giving frankly mediocre opposition what can only be called …an even break. And that is what, without possible lucid argument to the contrary is what Wolves got today. Our corners suck. And that’s me being hugely charitable. Me just getting going… You want to win the Barclays Premier League? Then you need to think about what went wrong. Wolves didn’t simply draw – we failed to win. 7.432 Easy to have a…

Guten tag. Again. It’s the same song playing again on the bedside alarm clock radio. They say we’re young and we don’t know we won’t find out until we grow, well I don’t know if all that’s true… Groundhog Day in N17 as yet again as we awake with the same trepidations about botching it against a less than brilliant side. And then that pang of fear subsides a little because …we don’t do botch jobs anymore. Wolves have only won away once this season in 10 games and that was against Blackburn. They’ve scored 8 times and conceded 19 times. In these…

Good morning. Not for the first time B Sky B have got my goat. The ‘new’ low camera angle at White Hart Lane is a disaster. But what I want to put before you today, ladies and gentlemen of the jury is that whilst the debate of personal taste in relation to TV camera positioning is a valid and fascinating one the underlying issue here is the picking of your pocket. I support the motion to restore the original camera angle that was high, haughty, chic and proud. It scanned nobly across The Lane and was instantly recognizable. The angle…
Welcome to the teatime shift. Threads from forums rarely have enough substance to spark entire blogs. I know this blog deteriorated beautifully and may I add effortlessly into an online gentlemen’s club for wise guys/shysters/bums/stiffs many moons ago, but you know what I mean. Whilst I find most stats and such quite near coma inducing this yiddodiddodo chap from Spurs Community has not only appeared to have done his homework on Everton’s manager but perhaps also righted what somewhat of a wrong. As football pulses through us and washes by our every waking moment it is easy sometimes for even the…
Good morning. I used to think the world was flat. Rarely threw my hat into the crowd. I felt I had used up my quota of yearning. The tide is turning. And good morning Roger Waters. The joy of last night’s performance was in how we managed to break with tradition against this lot in the past and managed to largely avoided getting bogged down in a largely dull head-locking exercise. Playing Everton is always mostly frustrating but last night they were the frustrated ones; well beaten and awarded 3 yellow cards for their trouble that all stemmed from an inability to genuinely…
Good afternoon. Dropping like flies they are. The look for this evening’s affair is ‘Bare Bones’, a waifish theme that is positively sweeping the dressing rooms of Bootle and N17 alike. Phil Jagielka, Leon Osman, Jack Rodwell, Tony Hibbert, Tim Cahill and Ross Barkley have between them; two bad knees, a pair of knackered groins, a faulty hamstring and foot that doesn’t work. They don’t need a physio they need Mary Shelley. Pathe News Boy is maybe 50/50. Jermaine Jenas and Dances With Scones are currently appearing at the Alhambra in Bradford in Aladdin; alongside Kim Wilde and Nigel Havers.…
Good evening. With the absence of any transfer related shenanigans to get stuck into, a daft video seemed like a good idea at the time. A MacDonalds TV advert from 1993 this one. The first person to guess correctly wins an exclusive completely unique tour of White Hart Lane. The tour itself has no time limit and is you a free to take advantage of this prize whenever is most convenient to you. The tour takes place outside the stadium and the suggested route is The High Road, along to Paxton Road, turning into Worcester Avenue becoming Park Lane and…
Good morning gentlemen of the press. Our Arry’s held a presser this morning and courtesy of @BenPearceSpurs here are all the quotes fit to print. On Pathe News Boy: Scott Parker is ‘struggling’ to be fit to face Everton tomorrow. ‘It would be a surprise if he’s fit. In fact it’s very very doubtful’ On Sir Ledley King’s Hamstring: ‘He’s had a scan. It’s not too bad but he’s not going to be fit for tomorrow’. On tapping up Transfers: Redknapp was asked about Loic Remy, Demba Ba, Chris Samba and Junior Hoilett – and said there’s interest in all of them.…
