Here’s my interview with Ironviews.com.
Tottenham haven’t lost a Premier League game since the opening day. However, the counter is that you’ve drawn more games than anyone else in the League so far (6). How has the start to the season been from a Spurs perspective?
The problem with supporting Spurs is that you never feel entirely confident, you never feel entirely relaxed. ‘Certainty’ is a thing that only other people experience.
We’ve drawn just enough games…to justify the complaint that we’ve failed to win a sufficient number of games. It looks thin because it is thin.
Similarly, what have you made of West Ham’s start to the season?
The fact that West Ham Football Club have the audacity to even start a season is an affront upon human decency “LOLZ”. Look, you’ve boxed extremely clever. You’ve ditched Fat Sam the tedious coach driver and brought in a guy who knows the club and actually cares about you.
Oh, and you bought Dimitri Payet who is an absolute monster signing. Wow, just wow.
Some think Pochetino is building a great team, some argue it’s taking a long time for that team to come together. Are the fans still firmly behind him, and more importantly, is he safe from Levy and his revolving door of managers?
Fans are the same everywhere, they need the hope to outweigh the humiliation – as a bare minimum.
Spurs fans just want a manager who is allowed to actually build something that might work. Levy is a micro management fixated tin of p**s. Will Poch break the p**s coloured glass ceiling at Tottenham? Who knows…
On our own manager, what have you made from Slaven Bilic from what you’ve seen/heard from him so far this season?
He’s delivering the goods. A feel-good is there for you. That said, I think Gold and Sullivan would have shipped in a ‘bigger name’ had they been able to nail down terms. This is one of those rare moments where the fans of a club have benefitted, despite the actions of the club’s board.
Eric Dier and Dele Alli have both made their England debuts this season, is it deserved? Or is it partially indicative of the state of the national team? (For the record I really rate Dier!)
You lost me at ‘England’.
Kidding. Look, they have both been thrown in at the deep end and it’s a credit to them that they’ve done so well.
Moussa Dembele is a player I know has come in for some stick from the Spurs support for not being consistent/good enough, however, he seems to have pulled his socks up and is playing brilliantly at the moment. How big a player for you is he right now?
I’ve been told his hips are made at the same Airfix factory that made Ledley King’s knees. He can be an absolute beast, and he can also be …less beast-like.
Many Tottenham fans were left aggravated (to put it mildly) that the club weren’t able to bring a striker in in the summer. Will this be something which comes back to bite you, and was your transfer window good enough even without adding a striker?
The reality of the situation is that we’re a Harry Kane injury away from disaster. What worries me more, is that we will probably waste yet more time chasing Saido Berahino again in January …and he’s two bob.
What did you make of West Ham’s transfer window?
I make Dimitri Payet of it.
If you could pick one West Ham player to play for Spurs, who would you pick and why?
Is this Dimitri Payet Bingo?
As it draws nearer, what are your thoughts on our ‘controversial’ move to the Olympic Stadium from next season?
I blogged on this and the overwhelming response was that dozens of West Ham fans asked if they could book me to sing at their daughter’s wedding.
This is the cleverest bit of business any football club has pulled off since Chelsea said “Yeah, sure!” to Roman Abramovich.
West Ham will be very very successful in Stratford.
Very very exciting times ahead for you.
Finally, what’s your match prediction?
Dimitri Payet’s out.
This means we cannot lose.
But good luck!
