Good morning all. The question of Tottingham’s home or new home has been a thorny one. As I saw it and indeed still see it, the real obstacle has been misinformation. My stand all along has been that I would like to stay at The Lane, but I won’t be held hostage by anyone. A serious issue that the rose tinted spectacles of some fans didn’t see was that just about the only thing for miles in Haringey making any money… is Spurs. So when the club wanted to expand the opportunity to flog off a piece of property or…

Good evening, fight fans. Clarity, common sense and a sense of good will. Never ever achieved any of those goals myself you understand, but I’m passionate about these ideals being pursued. This evening’s blogs are a Win/Win for everyone. Or your price of admission refunded in full. You are the most important factors in this whole NDP process. After all, you support. You live, you love, you make this football club work. This whole stadium business has got messy. That was inevitable of course. Factions were bound to appear. The good news is We Are N17 have disbanded. I received…

This was simply too good not to share. Dan G is a very talented chap. Many of you might recall his astonishingly good artwork of squirrels in various football shirts a while back.  So from the same stable comes this. Enjoy, Facebook, Tweet and well done Dan yet again old bean. Joe Dolce & my dad were big drinking pals back in the day…

Good afternoon fat fighters. Looking around at what other people achieved in their preseason friendlies it’s difficult to make a solid case for the end of the world being nigh. Looking at our lot fanny about for an hour and a half yesterday it’s easy to make a case for bellowing, ‘Sell the lot of ’em!’ at your telly box. It was unedifying stuff. I’m a Pav fan and whilst he was really poor he was actually more interesting than Just For Men’s new poster boy PSB and the boy Defoe combined. Krankie had some moves but that was largely…

Afternoon boys. Another week of near seismic inactivity at Tottingham Hotspur Football Club. Our stout lads are in South Africa. Their tight lipped supremo playing catch up due to some pressing legal preparation for his impending court case. Socks, pants, vest, deodorant, tooth brush, toothpaste, comb, disposable razor, soap, snouts for bribes… PSB is apparently acting like cock of the walk in relation to a move. What he wants is to stay in London, on near as dammit the same money he’s on, and be a striker of choice and ideally captain. What he wants is a time machine, then.…

I’m planning to swerve any legal action against me in relation to hacking Levy’s office the other day on the grounds of insanity. My legal representative is none other than Mr Sidney Trotter QC of Vader & Sons, Whetstone Ltd. Mr Trotter told me confidentially, ‘I believe we can fly.’ So in for a penny, in for a five stretch says I. This was stolen from THFC this afternoon and my thanks to the light fingered HH reader Vanderfaart for sharing his spoils with us.

Good afternoon to you. According those terribly nice people at Itasportpress we are in for a chap by the name of Xherdan Shaqiri. This young man © Ray Wilkins is a Swiss International and to use more footballing parlance he is said to be on the radars of Lazio, Liverpool, Rome, Palermo, Aston Villa and Fiorentina. The FC Basel player told Sky Sports: “I’m a really special player. Very creative in my approach to the game and I like to take risks. “Of course, I like to score: I have to score. But I also like to help my team-mates,…

Good afternoon fight fans. After this morning’s fiasco courtesy of The Sun’s brain surgeons PAUL JIGGINS and MARK IRWIN it must be a great idea for any Spurs fans with a spare 20 seconds or so to share their contempt with the people that employ these two plinths. Mr Jiggins was on talkSPORT this morning talking to Chubby Cundy and Andy Goldstein. That was an aural experience. Still at home after 10am when he took the call as that is where he is to be found when he’s not and I quote….”Grabbing great scoops!’ Mmmn. On the strength of today…

Michael Dawson wants out. Late last night the Spurs defender set fire to his team shirt at White Hart Lane in protest during an impassioned plea for a pay rise to Levy & Co turned into what experts are calling a ‘pyrotechnic palaver’. Eyewitnesses are claiming that heated negotiations became literally combustible when the player, unable to cope with the Chairman’s hard ball iced tea tactics, lost his head and ignited his squad shirt in the North London Club’s boardroom. Obviously this is cobblers. Made up. Untrue. But you have to ask yourself, ‘What’s next?’ There are two issues…
