From inside The Lane. Any bearing or resemblence to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The response to the Cheatski tapping up of the Croat Cruyff was as per the Chairman’s message a mix of contempt and fury. The appointment of Villa Boas has caused an impasse and it is nothing more than ‘hoped’ on our side that Chelsea will not come back with another offer. A formal complaint in relation to Chelsea’s tactics in this matter will be submitted if the situation deteriorates – ie – the player comes out with any more come and get me…

Guten Abend. That is your actual German. The name in tonight’s frame is none other than Mirko Vucinic. You may know Mirko from such headlines as ‘Want Away Striker Would Relish Arsenal Interest’, ‘Roma Hitman On The Way To Juve’, and who could forget the candid, ‘Look FFS We’d Even Take A Bid From Fecking Blackburn At This Stage.’ Now this is from a new source and my cynicism about the player and his very busy agent doesn’t reflect I’m viewing the information with disdain; rather my dismay is if it pans out we are close to signing the player.…

The new shirts then. There was me attempting to distract us from the dark forebodings of the transfer season quite unaware of the mood lightening not to mention out and out comedy value of the new shirts. This latest collection from Maison Cluster**** has me feeling like I should be behind glass in a museum. I am no longer the target demographic. The issue of course is that for all the good that being the customer does you, as a buyer you can only purchase or decline that which they lay before you. Like many jobs, bravery is a less…

Hello fight fans. You know, too often we get dragged into what has become a modern footballing maelstrom and sometimes …forget to take a few minutes to right the balance of our temperance. Do wot H? Which in the old money is how about we all calm down a little and remember what it is about this Tottingham lark we actually enjoy. Hopefully the following pages will do the trick. They worked wonders for me. A debt of gratitude to the good and noble folk at The Football Archivist. All you have to do is click on the image below…

Afternoon. I see the earth appears to still be gently spinning and no reports of ships sailing of the edge of the world into dragon’s mouths. But should we lose any star players this summer, it’ll not be a embarrassing as the new name across our shirt. Aurasma. Who actually ok’s stuff like this? If you’re forced to give some foot powder pharmaceutical a brand name rather than have it known Monotricetylene Chloride than ‘Monoped’ probably isn’t going to damage sales. But ‘Aurasma’. Is this what their Ideas Board looked like after consuming several pints of mescal? Here’s from their…

Dear Mercenary, You may not know me, but I know your type old girl and I trust it’s convenient for me to share a few thoughts with you. I have to say that your, ‘I want to play Champions League football for Chelsea’ routine really hit me like a bucket of iced water. It’s not that I thought you were incapable of such despicable thoughts or deeds. It’s just that I care, but – and I have to add – crucially not specifically about you. Lord no, we’ve seen it all before, heard it all before. You see it’s not…

The morning after the night before. Modric goes to Zabgreb to have a formal wedding ceremony in a church after an earlier registry office job. The only story to emerge in the Croatian press is that he went out for crab with another couple and had a nice time. Next, we get ‘exclusive’ interviews with the player presumably via his Boatphone telling us how sweetly we’ll all get along when he’s got Samsung written on his chest. Levy & Co have been forced to issue a statement this morning. It’s emphatic and more to the point it reveals that Cheatski…

Ahhhhhhhhhh come on, some of you must be new. Re-Signs…. But these pics are really good.  Are you honestly telling me they weren’t worth luring you in for? This is VDV renewing his wedding vows. For the benefit of my BFF Spooky – they aren’t photo shopped. And maybe Triffic Tottenham, you could re-title your piece, ‘Rafa Re-Signs Pictures’ Here they are. Hold on to your hernias, here’s the goods.
