Darren Lewis of The Mirror has decided to break cover and run with a story so wild that it makes ‘Ian Holloway to be made Minister For Education’ look plausible.
Jose Mourinho is keen to loan Emmanuel Adebayor from us next season.
This is the sort of painfully think stuff that one would normally expect from his nasally challenged Mirror colleague John Cross. The suggestion is made, then a laborious attempt to justify the madness ensues.
Jose loaned him at Real Madrid before wah wha wha Ade is frozen out at Spurs wah wha wha it’s either Chelsea or West Ham but Levy won’t like that wah wha wha…
This tale is (as they say in Leith), ‘pish’.
Social media has been desperately trying to fizz with delight since Harry Kane scored on his England debut. Trying, but not convincingly succeeding.
The main problems appear to be that the word is out that it was against the mighty Lithuania (a country with population half the size of Luton).
The other problem is, that fans other England players are demanding that their boys are also mentioned in dispatches after the emphatic win. But once the Kanites take their Lily-white tinted glasses off, they are at least partially forced to acknowledge that the game was at best mediocre.
If we learned anything from this game, it was that if Welbeck and Sterling are amongst the best and the brightest, the future of English football may as well be cancelled until further notice.
I’m sure that there wasn’t a Spurs fan in the world unhappy to see Kane score, but for those secretly harbouring a view that the whole thing was a bit of a non event, Tom Carroll’s goal for the England U21’s reminded us it could have been er.. less eventful yet.
Gareth Bale’s name continues to whispered in hushed tones online by the gormless and the needy. With his Real Madrid salary thought be worth around £300,000 per week, perhaps Levy & Co are about to reveal that this is what the HSBC facility is in place for.
Alternatively if Spurs fans were determined to land an old flame, then they might at least attempt to target someone who we desperately need, like Michael Carrick or Luka Modric.
The story of the day however, is probably Roger Moore saying that Idris Elba shouldn’t play James Bond because he isn’t ‘English English’.
Opposed to the Jock Connery, the Mick Brosnan and the Taff, Timothy Hutton who were of course all thoroughbred whities, I mean Englishmen to a man.
I would oppose Elba playing Bond on the sole grounds that no genuine Commander Bond would be seen dead wearing Superdry.
