It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
Not my words, but those of Charles Dickens (wot he did writted in 1859).
The unmitigated joy of watching Spurs thump the latest victims wasn’t shared by everyone. It couldn’t have been shared by Vincent Janssen.
When the first choice striker is out, you get his starting spot and your team wins 4-0, but you don’t score any of them, it’s less of a gentle alarm bell that starts ringing and more of a deafening klaxon.
Time isn’t really at a premium in the Premier League. You simply don’t get any. Life is hard, time is cruel, cry me a river, blah blah blah, if you want to talk about bedding in, get yourself a part-time job at the local gardening centre.
I don’t agree with it, but that’s how it is.
The Mirror believe that Daniel Levy is already circling Vinny’s replacement.
The name in the frame is Burnley’s 25 year old striking sensation, Andre Gray. The Wolverhampton born Gray has netted 8 times this season so far, for the The Clarets.
I don’t know what to say. This rumour may well be made up in order in order to fill Janssen’s most questionable future, and so not warrant much if any analysis.
On the other hand, there’s a part of me that thinks that we need to start looking.
Perhaps Gray isn’t exciting, but if he symbolises the beginning of a process to replace Vinny with someone who can score when given ample opportunity, then maybe we should at the very least, welcome that.
