Good evening. His royal highness, FartTomb Of The Lane has staked his full reputation upon this threat of the Chapeltown Tiger aka Azza Blud heading to Spain not occuring. Say wha ? Well word was in that Azza had let this slip this ‘fact’ whilst in the company of a lady. Having obviously decided to forgo the, ‘how I’m not actually that short’ and the, ‘how I’m really fascinating’ weren’t avenues worth going down the ‘I’m in demand’ line was eventually favoured. And this actually raises a question. Would you actually sell off Lennon? I would. And I wouldn’t think twice about…

Good morning. Did you know that questionnaires have also been sent to 24 clubs asking for information regarding free holidays, luxury homes and other gifts? The investigation is being carried out by HMRC’s High Net Worth Unit, which was specially created to target individuals worth in excess of £20million. If the answers to the questionnaires are not satisfactory, then a full-scale investigation could soon follow. Presumably common examples of benefits/expenses for professional footballers include company cars, platinum toilet roll holders, health insurance, diamond encrusted mobile phones, travel, various entertainment expenses including £27,000 bar bills, Luis Vuitton toenail clippers, that sort…
Guten Ahbend. Where to start? Ooh …wpd659 says that there is a £7M bid in for Pav. Mmmn. Without being tetchy, this news is undermined by that fact that it might pass muster for news at least two seasons old. Pav hatred is bubbling gently. I’ll give you that, but this is one occasion where Levy & Co’s hesitancy in the transfer market – so I believe, anyways – may genuinely benefit us. Sure Roman’s goal against Cheltenham was what it was, but I can point you to plenty of examples of why he’s a class act …but I don’t…
Good morning. Things got twitchy online yesterday with the complete and utter media shut down on the Cheltenham Town game. Probably just as well. Dare I tell you the atmosphere at The Lane yesterday is being described by experts who attended as ‘tepid’? But we won, the Double is on. People are throwing their hats in the air so joyously the vast majority have not even stopped to consider marking the lining with their name and/or a contact detail. The whole shebang was made worse by the torturous and overwhelmingly feeble ITV show. Presented by some failed supply teacher, Paul…
Good evening. By all accounts we won. This is a tremendously positive piece of news. It separates us from losers, hello Wigan, also it proves that you can occasionally get away with it. Ten internationals we were told. Technically, Arry was right. Then technically Ben Shepherd is a football presenter. Quite how clowns like me are supposed to champion taking all these ridiculous non Premiership games when the overwhelming majority of fans are unable to watch legally or illegally is beyond me. So at huge personal expense here then are hither to unseen highlights I managed to procure just a…
Good morning. The FA Cup. The Budweiser FA Cup. The Third Round Proper off said competition. Triffic. But will it be? Forget the dismal prospect of one of Arry’s cut and shunt sides being fielded. I’m talking atmosphere. The West Brom game atmosphere was frequently morgue-like. Despite all the good on the pitch it appears to be an uphill task to generate much off of it. My joy of watching Spurs at The Lane over the years has ebbed away. Talking to a pal of mine who made the trip to Swansea made me quite jealous of what they have…
Good evening. Tom Collomosse at the Evening Standard says we’re knee deep in negotiations for the Blackburn pairing of Samba and Hoilett. Samba strikes me as worth a punt. If only on the basis that I like so many were so woefully wide of the mark on Pathe News Boy it might just as we sit nose-bleeding in the Barclays Premier League to give Arry the benefit of the doubt. Samba is apparently a neat fit money wise my boy. It’s guessed he’s currently on about £55K pwk. Which immediately has me asking what in the name of Colonel Sanders…
Hello ladies. The sheer delight of sitting third in the table and watching the Bar Codes doing such good things against Manchester United (on a school night) really is something to savor. Triific, even. So Archibald believes that Rodwell’s well and truly on the radar. Enquiries made. A buy with a view to a loan deal. Arry’s up there of course. His relationship with Moyes is a decent one from what one can gather. I was at Bolton vs Manchester City earlier in the season and the Toffees supremo was sat close to Arry and Joe. Has this one got…
Good morning. On the news this morning they are stock taking at London Zoo. How quintessentially English. If all zoos do this as a matter of course I don’t want to know. I like to think of American, Chinese and German zoo keepers all zapping and their resident’s from golf carts using bar code guns. While in N1…in the midst of four dozen penguins there is a man in wellington boots armed with a pen and notebook. “27, 28… hold up fella, weren’t you number 17?” Perhaps this is a good time take stock; count our penguins, tot up our…
