Good Morning binge drinkers. T minus a few hours and the club we all hold dear is being torn apart by lies, discontent and double-dealing as the The Daily Mail reveals that Emmanuel Adebayor has ‘grown frustrated at White Hart Lane, having made just three substitute appearances this season.’ The article then continues to explain that since the season kicked off that Ade has been hampered by lack of match fitness then a hamstring problem.Therefore completely and utterly negating any scrap of truth there may have been in the piece. Perhaps I should hold heart to heart talks with NASA…

Good morning to you. It’s a pity that irony doesn’t pay the bills. Early last year I tried to run a ‘Let’s Kick John Terry Out Of Football’ tee shirt and ‘Let’s Kick Racism…’ threatened legal action so it was shelved. Now black players are threatening to boycott a campaign that means nothing, achieves nothing. The cad Terry won’t be playing tomorrow but all eyes will be on the away fans. They’ve more form than Framkel when it comes to racism. Hissing, coin throwing, you name it. No one likes a grass, but if you’re there and spot someone behaving…
Good afternoon. It’s on. Like Fat Pat’s thong. The Premier League is back and not a moment too soon. I would rather eat Sellotape than sit through another International break. Did you miss it? Here’s a comprehensive summary: Serbia won Eurovision with their version of ‘The Funky Gibon’ and the council cut Adrian Chiles’ hair. Here are the weekend’s fixtures and here are my wildly inaccurate predictions. Pay this month’s utility bills next month. Use the cash you’ll win to become richer than Richard Keys’ solicitor. Fulham vs Aston Villa The glamour tie. Fulham’s form is uninspiring but they look…
Good morning. The good news is in the clip below as Hugo Lloris saves a penalty conceded by an Arsenal player and taken by an ex Arsenal player. Laurent Koscielny did his best to put Pedro’s shin into a different part of the stadium from the rest of him and the resulting penalty was saved well by our new boy. I know we’ve seen little of him, but he looks right to me. Lloris The bad news is in the clip below and you’ll not be shocked to know that it relates to the nasty treatment that Danny Rose (and…
Good afternoon. The excellent PhysioRoom.com has Kyle Naughton due back on the 20th of this month.The reason I share this piece of fascinating piece of information is that it might prove to be of sudden relevance dependent upon what happens when England play Poland tonight. From today’s Mirror: Hodgson has taken Walker to Poland, despite him having a scan on his calf. The Spurs star missed training here on Monday and is unlikely to be involved against Poland. Hodgson added: “Walker has a very slight calf strain. He’s got a tender spot.” With the Chelsea game looming it is of…
Good morning. The source is Caughtoffside.com and their suggestion is that Benoit Assou-Ekotto is wanted, enquiries made etc by Chelsea football club to us, Tottenham Hotsour football club about purchasing him for rumoured £10m. Factors at play here are pretty straightforward. Benny won much respect/sent shivers down a few spines with his public admission that football was just a job. Despite it being 2012, the world is still swimming with naive fans who like to see a bit badge kissing and actually believe the players remotely mean it. Ashley Cole has reportedly been told that he won’t be getting a…
Hello. This might be something. It might be nothing. You have to have a heightened sense of suspicion during International break, however this comes from the Fatherland and not Fleet Street. Michel Bastos is the name in the frame and the German edition of 4-4-2.com is suggesting that a bid of €10m could be on the cards come January. Again another biwingal winger – although he does favour the left. He’s 29 and has been at Lyon since 2009. I did a small amount of Googling and I’m not sure about the money side of this. It was reported only…
Good Morning. “He (Maloney) clipped my leg and I couldn’t stay on my feet. It was a simple penalty and it was nice to get up and slot it away. I’ve missed a few when I’ve taken them in the past, but I fancied it. I was confident and thankfully I did step up.” To steal the phraseology of the Dragon’s Den, let me tell you where I am on this business with Bale and the diving allegations. Take Joey Barton. Here’s a guy who’s apologists swore blind wasn’t a menace to society. Not really. When he wasn’t headbutting people…
Guten tag and how’ya. ‘Andre Villas-Boas will fight Italian giants Inter Milan for the signature of Patrick Herrmann, the £7.5million-rated Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder’ cries the Daily Mail. Could it be true? Well, he’s been dubbed as the new Marco Reus. This is due to both his talent as a creative and the fact that when Reus moved to from Borussia Mönchengladbach to Borussia Dortmund Herrmann stepped in to his place. What’s he like? Well here’s a video. Be warned, it’s a mixed bag and if you don’t like your ’80’s pop bathed in a Robert Smith impression this may be…
