David Lammy has managed to wrangle himself a column in today’s Evening Standard, where he puffs up his TV publicity vehicle on BBC2 tomorrow night.
If the article is anything to go by, theTV programme presumably have him pouncing about like some blacked-up Jesus in a Paul Smith suit, offering “support networks” to those suffering “from the worst consequences of bad luck’, and other assorted proles who’ve failed to snatch a piece of the social cleansing action in N17′
I wonder if he will be filmed celebrating his own recent good fortune though; rolling about in the £75,000 that he has to date received from property developers in Haringey.
“Look at all this fakin lovely lolly I’ve trousered! Whoo hoo!”
This Is Tottenham is on BBC2 tomorrow evening at 9pm.
Speaking of hype, the DeAndre Yedlin existence carries on, despite flying in the face of reality.
Ahead an impending arsenal game, Yedlin told the Evening Chronicle:
“We can’t get too excited because we’ve got a very tough game at Arsenal next. That is the next challenge. Hopefully we can get the result there.
If we don’t give away any goals, we can’t lose.
It would be huge to get another positive result down there and that’s what we’ll be looking to do. As a defender, that’s our main focus – to not concede goals.
I think the gaffer has definitely brought a more defensive approach on the training ground and that’s helped us. The guys up front are doing great work – Jermain (Defoe), Duncan (Watmore) and (Steven) Fletcher – and scoring the goals we need.”
Perhaps with a such fine mind at the world’s disposal, David Cameron should get Yedlin to sort out this ISIS mess.
I’m less worried by the fact he sounds more like Ted Lasso than Ted Lasso does, than the fact that his performances for Sunderland have been ropey. His last outing for Sunderland earned him a Press Association player rating of 5.5.
And finally…
All hyped out os Andros Townsend.
In conversation with Sam Matterface on talkSPORT this morning, football geezer Stuart Pearce said that in his opinion, Townsend should move from Spurs in order to get himself some regular first team football.
When asked by Matterface if that would be a team in the upper half or the lower, Pearce immediately suggested the latter.
Sir Blastalot has hit a wall at Spurs.
And a pensioner, a 2 hot dog vendors, 3 cameramen, and a low flying pigeon called Arthur.
