Hello. Tough gig being on the verge of first team football. Spurs fans in general are optimistic and welcoming to those wanting to break through. But only a handful of folk get to see them play and footage is often rarer than rocking horse do do. And speaking of wooden things with limited mobility, it would be great to have someone with a bit of ‘zip’ at the back if they are supposed to playing in an attacking role too.

Jack ‘even more mongy looking than smoothbum’ Wilshere has accepted a police warning for attempting to spit on a taxi driver who was wearing a Spurs hat. Cabbie Brian Spencer a 61 year old, said the experience was, “the worst I’ve ever seen in my 38 years as a cabbie.” The trophy-less booze fuelled caper took place in London’s West End outside a lap-dancing club. Quite understandably the taxi man declined to accept a the drunken lunatic as a customer. According to Spencer, the lashed Gooner tried to spit through an open window but missed, hitting the window instead. Nickerless…
Raking through the bones of that game would be as useful as getting a pathologist to examine some roadkill to see if the poor creature had diabetes prior to being run over. West Ham didn’t squish us so much as relentlessly deny us. It would be churlish to just rant at the strikers. So I’ll have a pop at Arry first if I may. When the team you’re playing changes their strategy, it’s a good idea to rethink your own. Redschnapps has spoken of hesitancy in the last transfer window. We saw it again today. Defoe was selfish again and…
West Ham indoors then. An event in the social calender marked only by the increased usage of disinfectant by The Lane’s dedicated domestic crew. All jokes to one side, the Primark Massive have hit the form of their lives in the last few weeks and whilst they’re not out of it yet, the Hammers are giving every indication of a mob genuinely reluctant to be relegated.The resurgence is largely down to the availability of Hitzlsperger. Is he all things to all men? I think not, but a team as miserable as West Ham were bound to be radically shaken up…
Good Greebling, As the time of writing we are merely a hop, skip and guaranteed beyond tedious address from UEFA away from knowing who we’ll face in the quarter finals of the competition. For those just visiting this planet – the names in the hat other than us are, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Shakattack Don’tAsk, and FC Shalke 04. The ties pulled today will be played on 5/6 and 12/13 April. With the semi-finals taking place on 26/27 April and 3/4 May. The 2010/11 UEFA Champions League Final will be held on Saturday 28 May at…
Happy Paddy’s Day. This won’t be exhaustive, rather hopefully a kindly tribute to an extraordinary man – an Irishman – who’s influence still burns brightly on today. Many, many fans, including those born after he last kicked a ball are still able to fondly recite his quotes. Now it would be insane for me to try and write a piece on someone I’ve only seen in shaky footage and magnificent photographs. So here are some thoughts of a man who played alongside him and a man who in later years later was a not just a colleague, but a friend.…
Morning, The footballing world was shaken to it’s foundations this morning as Raphael van der Vaart revealed, ‘I have breakfast with Damian and Sylvie and then i go to Tottenhams trainings complex to train, because i really want to.’ I hope that this is innocent, boyish enthusiasm rather than ol’ Vdv wearing his sarkie pants. The second is good stuff from the boy Hudd, ‘Hoping to train with the lads this week, then 2weeks (international break) to train hard and all going to plan shud be fully ok for wigan!’ One thing I couldn’t help but notice was the constant…
Another day, another intensive hangover. According to the Current Bun, Azza Blud was out throwing some shapes with his buddy and part time striker, Cartoon Cole in a Fitzrovia night club, Merah. Merah boasts that it offers, ‘a sophisticated social playground for the influential and the jet set.’ So no wonder one reveler, some unnamed dame in a short black dress was outraged when some half cut midget with drawn on hair and go faster stripes in his eyebrows helped himself to a handful of her bottom. Judging by the picture, the lady involved complete with lolly-pop in gob, looked…
By your beds, In the lifetime of this two bob blog, there have been a few consistent elements. Typos, daytime drinking, my ability to start a fight in an empty room …hang on – I’m Alan Brazil. Well, there’s one of life’s eternal questions answered. But one genuinely ever present factor has been the issue of our strikers. You build a team from the back, but goals win games. Goals that your lot scores. You can talk all day about ‘service’ and ‘form’ but strikers live and die by their tally. Sure, some are tirelessly intelligent off the ball, but…
