Good afternoon. This just in, passed on in good faith. This has been in the papers, so hardly a mind blowing exclusive but word is that Tom Ince could soon be playing for Tottenham. Judging by the ubiquitous You Tube footage below, what is for sure is that he looks to be a significant upgrade on his father. The 21 ... Read More »
I need to kick this off be stating for the record I pretty much despise them all. I have no defined political leanings and suggest that genuinely people don’t fit neatly into being ‘a tory’ of a ‘socialist’, rather they are more hopefully guided by their sense of what is right and what is wrong. Any MP that isn’t ... Read More »
I thought it might be an idea to see who the preferred runners and riders were before the press hijack proceedings. I’m talking about the impending transfer window, of course. I make the point about the role the press has to play as I absolutely believe there is a powerful, albeit subliminal effect upon us all, from reading a ... Read More »
Throughout football’s long and rich history, there have been so many controversial decisions that have helped to decide important matches, especially in situations where the ball appears to have just crossed the goal-line, only for it to be waved away. For years, managers, players, fans and pundits have called for the introduction of goal-line technology to no avail, until now. ... Read More »
All this talk of Tottenham being a one man team was revealed as an inherent truth last night as Gareth Bale collected more trophies in one night than THFC have in 10 years. I guess there was a time when that would have been an exciting enough occurrence to have survived as the story of the night. Whilst the booing ... Read More »
Good afternoon. Clicking about, it appears that the miserable, mopers and the malcontents have moved out of the stadium and online. Good. This is the place for all that. As long as the vexation doesn’t deteriorate into blatant cannibalism, I guess. That game against Wigan earned a number of reasons to be cheerless. None more so in than it ... Read More »
Good morning and welcome to your weekly dose of chalk dust. I touched upon my bewilderment in the previous blog, indeed I’ve been grumbling about the homage that has been unthinkingly paid to Roberto Martinez since …well, forever. I simply don’t get it. Key movers and shakers ought to be Bale, Azza, Holty and Fritz. I’ve opted for Parker ... Read More »
Manchester face the marauding mono-brows of E6. Sam Allardyce will be especially tetchy ahead of this one. The final touches to his full back tattoo of the Egyptian god Horus were completed yesterday, in a marathon 8 hour our session. When asked for a pre-match Big Sam muttered, ‘It’s no good, I’m stingin’ like a Catholic priest, I can’t do ... Read More »
Good morning. Some time ago, I knew this antique dealer in Suffolk. Alas, it wasn’t Ian McShane, all market leather jacket, white tee and stonewashed Levis. But he did have a dress sense almost as bad, and he too was a ‘divvie.’ The reason I mention him is he told me over a pint that he had once worked in ... Read More »
Good morning. Or if you are MelcYid who was looking for a new blog at 04:14hrs this morning, good afternoon! This whole Luis Suarez thing has been hilarious, if you’re not a Liverpool fan, but that club is now staring down the barrel of a gun. The 10 game ban that their number one player has just picked up will ... Read More »
