Good evening. Tomorrow is nothing other than game week 21 and don’t you let anyone try to tell you otherwise, mush. It’s ‘normal’ at this time of the year for all manner of media outlets including rubbish ones like this one to get all introspective. Reviews of the year. I’d genuinely struggle to find something more boring. So in that ... Read More »

Good morning. Here’s a turn up for the books. Word just in that Wesley Sneijder could well be wearing the Lilywhite very soon. It’s all about money. Funny that. I am told that the situation is this. The fee we might pay is likely to a token amount. It is no secret that Inter Milan are boracic and I am ... Read More »

Good morning. Beating Sunderland was flippin’ lovely. In the not so distant past runs oop north in the wind and the rain all too frequently resulted in unedifying affairs with phrases like ‘difficult place to come to’ and ‘no easy games’ being sprinkled liberally into post match comment. Talking points in no particular order must be the brilliance of Lennon, ... Read More »

Hello. Third as I write and it feels great no matter how temporary. Unbeaten in four with Reading then QPR before Manchester United at home. The return of Benny and Eunice imminent, Parker looking at least gently refurbed if not entirely reborn. It was a game where we fought confidently then gave them a goal on a plate. Thankfully this ... Read More »

Good morning. Nice to see in the real New Years Honours List Quentin Blake. I say that but well I mean if you’re going to give Blake a gong you devalue the whole exercise by including people like Ewan McGregor, Kate Bush. You might as well give Nick Knowles one for services to inexpensive daytime television. Mind you, I see ... Read More »

Good morning. As the either unscrupulous or plain old fashioned stoopid sites continue to weigh up whether we’re going to sign Wesley Sneijder or not after a blunt denial from his agent let us attend to things that are actually happening – namely tomorrow’s fixture list. Game week 20, eyes down for a full house. Top of the tree then ... Read More »

Good afternoon TV remote control operators of distinction. Three wins and a draw was what the Hotspur’s Halk Hour crew thought we’d get from the festive fixture list and we appear to be halfway there would you believe. Villa were pretty dire. The final scoreline is damning. 12 goals in 2 games and they’re all but screwed. The first half ... Read More »

Good morning. It’s looking like the hysteria was only that. A rather brief and hollow moment of euphoria that… it’s looking less and less like that Wesley Sneijder rumour thing was of much substance. The Dutch claim to have a camp insider – Google Translate the gift that gives not just at Christmas but the whole year round – who ... Read More »

Good morning Brussels sprout supremacists. Aston Villa away it is then. As per yesterday’s run through the Villans aren’t actually as dire as their walloping at the hands of the Blue Racists suggests. Prior to that you would have to describe their form as not entirely dreadful. They were on an unbeaten run of 5 games. Mind you, I was ... Read More »

Good evening. I see this Tancredi Tweet has sent everyone into a spin. Would it be good? Er yeah, sure. Yes please… all that jazz. But a bloke called Gianluca Di Marzio who writes for SkySports Italy posted this on his own website: Had spread a rumor in recent days, rumors of English: Wesley Sneijder has been linked to Tottenham, ...
