Luis Garcia Transfer Is Cobblers

Any other whispers Harry, Bently perhaps?

I must say Harry this is a relief. Still worried about the deafening silence from the club and Keane about his transfer - if there's nothing to it why not issue a straight "he's going nowhere"...? Do you know if there's any truth in De La Red rumours? Would like to see that one happen

Rumours everywhere re: his dessert, but nothing confirmed.

So how IS the Bentley medical going? Is it still going on? Glad they're being thorough.

It went very well. He passed it. You should've dropped by last week. When I announced that. Christmas cracker jokes wouold be a step up for you.

Next...

Galvin's sock: I think you'll find the club has said all along that Keane is going nowhere.

Not being sharp with you, Mr Theory, but if that's the case, quote please!

Didn't you say we'd signed Bentley about 3 weeks ago??!!

Really screwed up huh Harry? Shouldn't nick other websites wrong info and pass it off as yours. Makes you look stupid doesn't it?

Still some idiots STILL ask you what's happening! Makes you feel important but wont last forever with mistakes like Bentley.
"What about Bentley Harry?"
Poor fools.

be careful when you mention the 'Bentley has signed' debacle. Harry's very sensitive about it and will probably delete your comment before anyone can see it

Do you think we will sign capel ,harry?

Is there any point in asking you to read what I wrote?

Any point in repeating the fact that the medical info came from Holly House and was 100% unique to this site?

No of course not.

You might post on here again saying that I said Beckham was signing. That didn't happen either.

Not at all, you're talking about the man who has made all sorts of mistakes... Your problem is that I don't believe this to be one of them.

Debacle's a great word.

Harry you may not have said the exact words Bentley has signed but you heavily implied it. And then you were all ready to soak up the glory..didn't quite work out that way did it.

Now don't back down, you come for my throat, you must try at least toi seize it.

All I'll tell you, is that this isn't over quite yet.

Unless you're in a position to tell us otherwise?

No.

Nothing to share.

Just a passing snipe.

Oh well.

I did you the courtesy of at least asking.

lol at people saying Harry is stupid when they makes claims without reading the facts. Not too worried about the Keane debacle and the club not saying anything. We haven't said anything about anyone else we have been linked with and who has been linked away from the club. Love your site Harry as i actually read what you write and the banter is great.

fuzzy dunlop - what is your point. harry's site is probably the most intelligent fansite out there, so okay some things don't happen as and when. Big deal, go be critical elsewhere.

Keep it up Harry.

By the way I saw Paul Allen today walking into Tescos in the city...oh dear

So Harrys gonna come out when and if Bentley does sign and say a big 'I told you so'
do us a favour Harry we're not idiots.
The difference is you put your credibility on the line and 'announced' the signing well over a week a go and was so far off the mark your now a laughing stock.

If you're able to predict the future you really need your own TV show.

I have never gone down the needy route of gloating when I called it right. How the hell could I? It's not me that knows... I don't have Levy's ear or work in a hospital, nor have I ever claimed to.

My credibility? Pfffffffffffft. Please. I'm not the Pope. I'm not the Prime Minister. This is, was and always will be a two bob blog that attracts some superstar contributors and some arseholes. Nothing more.

This is unsolicited, but you either need to stop clicking on here or get someone to give you a blow job.

I say that in a constructive way. Honestly.

Neither of those two options are down to me, by the by.

HH, Debacle is a good word. But there isnt a word as good as 'Moist'.

Mmmmmm, sounds so good.

However 'Cobblers' is the word of the summer. 99% of players mentioned wont come or wont go. Its all.....cobblers.

Players in spain are looking great. Nice to Gomez there.

Bit concerned that Bale is being told to run at palm trees. I see another injury coming and a season being missed...

This is Rafa's work, first he comes out and talks about another player from another club 'keane' one which known was a liverpool fan as a boy then we see reports like this for average spanish players... is it the work of rafa? trying to cause ***t.... Liverpool are the club that spurs, villa (yes I think they are starting to get a good team young attacking like spurs) WILL CATCH and take their forth place... levy cannot sell to Liverpool or any club keane or any of our decent players... see the crap no probs...

There are clearly some feckwits who get aroused by posting sceptical comments on here without 'getting' what this forum is about...you know like those little twat kids who used to run up and punch someone at school, then hide behind the older boys because they were never gonna cut it with in crowd on the conversation front.
I think Harry will be vindicated shortly on the Benters front.
What we crave now is assurances on Robbie and news on a DMF to mentor Thud ...how about it H?

Pedro... flattery will get you everywhere...

And I agree with your analysis too: DMF, where for bleedin art thou?

First post here, have to say Harry I love the blog - always a good read. With regards to the whole Bentley issue, so far I think you've got it spot on. Looking forward to seeing him in a spurs shirt.

Never mind the bullocks of who is coming and going, this had me in stiches!

COYS!

More than that we really need an extra centre back to cover Woody and King...

And seriously, the snipers on here, its insane to take any transfer 'news' seriously until its signed and sealed. It's silly season in the papers and half of the fun of pre-season is the 'champ manager'-esque opportunity to second-guess and dream about new signings! get over it...

On that note:
Cuellar to cover centre back, McGregor as second keeper... and Capel to get the lips moist... ooh, moist, love that word

LINK

Did you see the pics of Hudd in Spain, He looks like he has had lipo and had his Stomach stappled. Do you think we might be seeing a transition for him as a new DM.

2nd one works, sorry! COYS!

Off topic I know Harry...but is that a 'Mike Read (Eastenders,stand up comic, golf celeb etc - not the DJ wanker) or a 'Clockwork Orange' look you got going on with your new photo?

That's Peter Sellers, mate!

Dr Strangelove. I think if you click on it you can see it in it's full glory...

Harry - afew months back I saw a story where Ramos said he didn't foresee great changes in the squad...this seems to have been forgotten by huge numbers of people most of whom are not tired hacks trying to make up a story for a living...although I'm sure you're not in this category.
So in short, a few fringe players out and one or two new signings -but not BENTLEY at £17m which incidentally is way over what he's worth - so maybe a spanish winger after all or perhaps stick with Lennon who's now learning to cross on a spanish golf course ???

Well that's exactly it, Cobbler.

Very easy to run all this Steed out, Dawson to ____, O'Hara on loan crappola. The reality is no one ever talks about injuries/need for squad players or credits JR with what he's actually doing...

...putting right what you and moan about at full time as we shuffle out the ground.

Let's hope AL is doing just what you say!

The Keane Debacle (as history will remember it) must indeed be a whimsical product from the mind of His Nibs, El Rafa. Perhaps it's due to stress and the pressures of the modern game. Or perhaps it's an anxiety response due to some thoughtless individual casually remarking to him that, if he lies on his side, his mouth resembles a vagina. Who can say?

Whatever the cause, I wouldn't read too much into Keane being absent from the Spain photographs. The reason is obvious: it was Keane holding the camera. 'It's MY camera: I'm taking the pictures.'

Nice to see TT among the squad. If his Spurstime really is running out, this would be a positive way for him to close that chapter on his career - on a working holiday with his mates and the club he loves. But shouldn't we assume by his inclusion in the trip that he's actually staying? Otherwise, why take him along? After all, he can stay fit and saleable back at the ranch in Blighty.

THudd seems to have lost so much weight that I venture he's been on the zero-fat ostrich diet. I can't commend the chap highly enough. While his team-mates were permitted to relax their physical and dietary disciplines and enjoy a summer break of gormandizing, his own regimen was ongoing. He deserves credit for sticking to it and steering clear of the ketchup. And for excelling at the okey-cokey in the second image down.

What amazes more than anything is how a bunch of big, boisterous blokes from an English football club can get away with running all over a Spanish golf-course. If I did that at Whitewebbs the greenkeeper would have my guts for garters.

Gormandizing. A word that looks into cocked hats, sees 'moist' and 'debacle' staring back and says to 'em, "Do you like my 'I'm With My Poor Cousins' T Shirt?"

Arry, Is God a Spurs fan? If so then when will we sign David Bentley? Perhaps God is really just a fan of the lads that post comments on your site and each and every time one posts "any word on Bentley yet?" or "do you think Bentley perfers cheese or cherry struddle with his coffee in the morning?" he gets just a little excited? No?

Rocha's gone to Hull (in a hand basket).

Good riddence.

ok i know everyone says they have their sources. My best mates uncle is Bentleys agent. He has passed a medical, all that is beinmg sorted is a contract. I have been informed that due to the whole carrick situation spurs have written every contract with explicit detail for any situation that may arise, this means tottenham contracts are over ten pages when on average they are 5 pages at other clubs. This makes the process far longer, he will without doubt be signing very soon.

God must be a Spurs fan. The devil, I am told has all the best tunes.

I thought I saw Martin Jol too! Lookalike much. Also, do we think it's key that Bale and Dos Santos seem to be training together in pretty much every photo of either of them. A bit of left-side of pitch bonding perhaps? Also, is the player in one of the Spain photos Gomes? In the same picture as Pekhart, Tainio, Lennon, Hutton and Jenas

It most certainly is Gomes in the pics just put up on the official site; training with Alynwik. No sign of Robbo though; maybe it will be them 2 as No 1 and back up?

More recent picture of Gomes training, so that surely is good news about which we already knew. Shame about Chimbonda travelling to Spain though. Looking miserable, I might add.

At the Olivia Golf Club in Malaga I believe. Pictures would be great if you are situated nearby.

thx Oli. can't seem to find Olivia Golf Hotel in Malaga tho only found one in Barcelona. There's a well known nightclub near Marbella called Olivia Valere, that got anything to do with it?

if anyone knows, let me know. if close to Malaga/ Marbella I'm there, snapping away.

I'd like to commend you Mr H on the way you calmly handled the imbeciles who left much unwarrented nastiness earlier. I would opine that these numpties have offiliations with other "quality" sites such as the ever truth bearing Caughtoffside" or perhaps that utterly reliable quality daily, "the mail" and are infact supremely jealous that this blog and this blog alone, actually atracts civil (mostly), inteligent and genuine conversation about our wonderful club.

Contrary to all the unhappiness surrounding the monkeys who complain about the quality of the site, and for some reason incongruously contradict themselves by clicking on it, I would like it to be known that I fucking love these fucking monkeys and the tiny bit of incandescence that they bring to the site.

It is a very discombobulating experience (discombobulate - you can throw that in to your list of word of the day contenders) watching certain people doing the www equivalent of checking the Sky, seeing that The Antiques Roadshow is on Living TV, saying "I fucking hate that program, I do" and then promptly scrolling down to Living TV, and pressing Select.

I mean, seriously, if you were a lab chimpanzee and you exhibited behaviour like that, you'd receive sustained electric shock treatment.

Keep coming though. You all amuse me.

I don't know why I pre-empted that with a HH quote. It might be because I'm quite, quite off my face at this particular juncture of my Friday night.

How could I have not mentioned nunchucks!...sorry mate. If I wasn't quite so inebriated I would have cut back on all of the extraneous content and said a good word for you, another excellent poster.

Apropos of nothing in particular, this seemed like one of those 'And another thing' articles, but was actually quite newsworthy. LINK

Some posters here (myself included, guilty as charged) have occasionally made light over... er... weight issues allegedly concerning some of our players. No doubt the physical condition of the squad has improved, but the extra poundage that some formerly carried didn't make them complete porkers.

Glad the Incident at Luis Garcia is over.

Morning all, by the way.

LINK

Well this has gotten me into a panic first thing in the morning... United bid £20 mil for Berbatov! seems to be another story in all the news agencies (cut and pasted no doubt)

Still on one article (may have been the currant bun) there is a direct quotation of his scum-of-the-earth agent Dantchev, he says he can't say anything til the clubs make it official...

Anyone panicking, or have we all lost hope?

“I cannot make any comment until there is official confirmation from Tottenham or United.”

Dantchev in the Sun, direct quotation....

Oh gawd, the return of the Danchev or to give him his Cockney American Indian name, Dances With Chivs.

It is conceiveable that Berbatov will go. But this quote is so ambiguous. What a shocker there, eh?

A pal of mine would say to people he had no remote intention of contacting... 'I will call you.' Then under his breath, 'not saying when that'll f**king be.'

So confirmation may require a wait.

I normally pinch-of-salt most rumours.

But, about this one, I have a biblical sense of foreboding.

Panic stations.

Again, this means nothing, but wading through the Bulgarian online stuff there's nothing on this and old Emil normally issues a press release when he nips out for a Sunblest and a smoked turnip or whatever the bastard has for his dinner.

We're all different, I suppose. It's hard sometimes to see beyond the clouds of ego. They invade the personality, prevent us from orientating ourselves and deny us perspective.

Whatever the facts behind the media posturing and manouvering, why would Spurs be good enough for Modric and Dos Santos, and not Berbatov? Ego, maybe? A loss of grip on professional reality and what matters? I dunno.

I just can't see what merit there is, as a professional, to achieve success and glory on the shoulders of others. Why go to a club where the system and wealth (and debt) in situ virtually guarantee domination of others? Why not contend that domination as a so-called underdog and beat the odds? If I were Berbatov, I'd like to think that I'd seize the opportunity to take Spurs into the Champions League and to become a legend at the club. Or maybe he wants the personal challenge of playing CL football now. Fair enough. But challenges come in many forms. What makes beating, say, Real Madrid in a one-off game a greater achievement than slogging your guts out, week in, week out, in the Premier League and taking your club - which has supported you, and where many fans idolise you - to stratospheric heights? To me, it's the difference between the grainy glory of longevity and the brief fame of the mayfly.

Or maybe it's just money. Or an inner drive to taste new experiences. No idea. And if I really were Berbatov I'd probably be just as prey to the temptations he's prey to, and no doubt I'd find them hard to resist.

Nothing is clear. All the waters are muddied. The fact is, Berbatov is still a Spurs player and may, for all we know, wish to remain one. If he doesn't, we hold the inititive and, by the alchemy of negotiation, can turn him into cash. Mmmmmmm...... cash...

Oh dear. Cobblers? First I get moistened at the thought of us snatching £8 million from Valencia for Chimbo, then the rumour mill alleges we have bought a certain Luis Garcia. Which also appears to be Zok-esque, in other words, way off the mark.

Still, even if we evidently aren't after Luis Garcia (Espanyol version), I hope this will quash any suggestions that perhaps it was the Atletico Madrid/Ex-Liverpool player we were interested in. Quite why people wanted it to be him I cannot explain. When watching him attempt his repertoire of C. Ronaldo style step-overs (and fail) when Liverpool were trying to come back from a two goal deficit I never once thought - "yep, that's the kind of player I'd love to see in a Spurs shirt".

And, still no Bentley. This is a little disappointing, too. But this is a done deal, isn't it?

Maybe "Luis Garcia Transfer TO Cobblers" is the most likely outcome from all of the above.

Regarding the guy that said Keane was in those photo's, i think thats Malbranque next to Poyet. Which means that Keane has not appeared in any of the Spain photo's. Which concerns me more than an article in the Sun.

If we get £30-35M we'll let Berb4tov go, if not he's going nowhere.
I have a feel there's along way to go. £20M aint even a starting point, so I wouldnt take no notice.
But it looks like they're gonna let Ronny go, so we should get a nice chunk of that.

Then JR has gotta decide who will replace him.
But from what I've heard if Berb4tov goes Keano definately stays.
So I guess that's something.

So HH jumped on the Garcia Bangwagon.... in the end then

Corporate News Just In

Northampton Town are offering the opportunity to celebrate in style from £25.

THFC sent me an email yesterday containing a similar threat, but under a tarpaulin, for £2,835 plus VAT.

Meh.

I got that email too HH, along with the Match Bundles as well..... Rather know whats happening with our strikers to be fair.

Sixfields will be packed to the rafter.

Good point, well made, Mysterious Stranger.

It's easy for us, the masses, to talk about seizing the opportunity to go down in folklore, because as subjective supporters, such a thing you cannot put a price on.

But, Berbatov isn't subjective in this way, and so such a dream to a character like this and many others of his ilk is disposable.

Let me put it this way. I'm a contractor. I earn decent money. But I choose to work for companies like Apple and Disney, who don't pay as well as banks. Now, I have peers who I suspect are worse at their trade than I who work in investment banks and earn one or maybe two hundred a day more than I.

Now, I like my lifestyle, so it wouldn't occur to me to switch employers for 9 hours of clock watching a day. But, for many, for an couple extra fistfuls of readies, they'd join the SS if they thought you were good for it.

That's actually: "Good point, well made, 9:37..."

My first post - please be gentle with me chaps. Re. Bentley, could someone please clarify- is it possible to have a medical with a 'buying club' before a fee has been agreed? No fee, or 'permission to talk' seems to have been agreed. Also, is there a less tortuous way of leaving a comment than using the 'leave a comment' box? It's SO slow. Great blog 'H'

Some Tic fans are getting excited at the prospect of a fire sale doon The Lane. Reckon some of yer cast offs could do a joab for us.

I'm unsure.

We need a LB and a CM that's as hard as jack russell wie a switch blade.
...

No offence LordOfTheWing but id rather see our cast-offs go to arsenal or chelsea than Celtic...

on second thoughts you can have rocha and robbo

Ronaldjugg, Hi.

On the comment thing Ole Ole are working on it. I think it also is dependent upon the browser your using.???

Apologies anyway.

Hi Harry, any comment on the procedural aspect of players transferring - when a medical can take place? (Using Firefox - which I thought was reasonably cred?)
Don't let them sap your 'precious bodily fluids'.
Chance the gardener - "I like to watch Eve" (don't we all)

Re the Bentley crawl. About this time last year a mate who lived next door one of Darren Bent's family was told he was definitely joining us. This was before the Pikeys put in their stupid offer and Charlton started upping the ante. My conclusion was that he'd agreed to join us but the two clubs had not concluded their deal.

Only guessing, but maybe that is where we are at with Dave the rave.

This is indeed Bent II The Un-Quickening.

I seem to recall getting dog's abuse on Bent aswell as it took longer than a Pot Noodle.

"any comment on the procedural aspect of players transferring..."

None. Sorry.

Anything is possible.

He probably has had his medical, which is why its a waste of time Villa trying to bid and compete. He's only coming to Spurs.

It will happen before the transfer window closes, so be patient lads.
I think as soon as Ince seals the deal for Pennant, then Bentley should get a release date. Maybe they might take roboo off our hands too.

To be honest Harry, I am amazed at the abuse you get, I assume it's from other bloggers green eyed at the benevolent, fun filled monster the Harry Hotspur blog has become.



Or maybe they're jealous of your body.....................

O.K. I'll buy that - but only because I want to. Sorry about the misplaced rigorousness chaps...

It's not my body of work - that's for sure.

Dannyboy - The link request was aimed at getting a pic of RK...A friend of a friend told me about Google. I was just impressed you'd got all OleOle'd, my old mucker.

RK? I just typed in Hoddles name in Google and scrolled!!! Took ages. Ole Ole'd and I got 5 friends !!!

Anyone wondering where Keano is.....???Have a look on the spurs site @ Making Waves, you might stot him 6ft high.

Oh good, Keane is ther, but whats more worrying is the nature of the pictures.... Its all a bit...........Top Gun isnt it... "playing, playing with the boys"....

You tickling my ribs mate

Just looks like their having too much fun.
I didnt know we had a keeper called Jansson, unless he's on trial? He's in one of the pics doing training with Gomes and keeping coach.

I guess they'd call it team bonding

Congratulations to A Cole of Stepney for suggesting today's training routine.

Tomorrow, lucky winner D Pleat will resurrect the lost art of maypole dance (followed by a short session of power eye-spins).

Great news re: Keano. New pics on the website clearly showing he is out in Spain getting stuck in with the boys. Funny how that happens, isn't it...
LINK

That doesn't look like training to me.

What that looks like to me is fucking about, is what.

Good to see Keane is there. Fucking about. I suppose.

Its called team building, get to know your team-mates, get closer and therefore dont end up sitting in the centre circle crying as your team throws away yet more points. As a recent Spurs manager said, "there are no stars at Spurs, the team is the star"

9.37, I'll be amazed if Berbatov stays and have long since put myself in the frame of mind that he won't be a Spurs player next season.

I don't think it's a case of Spurs being good enough for Modric and J2S, but not Berbatov. The former two are fortunate enough to have joined the club at the beginning of a, maybe false, but definitely new and exciting dawn.

Who knows, if we don't progress as expected we might see those two in the same position in a season or two? With Berbatov I feel we missed the opportunity to give him the platform his talent deserves by not bringing in the right players last summer. Only time will tell if this new group will gel and compete, although unfortunately, for us, it's time Berbatov feels he doesn't have.

At 27/28, probably his last chance for a big money move/contract to, if we like it or not, a bigger club, who could blame him? Same goes for another forward of ours.

Someone once told me you were optimistic....
I shot them for lying.

And you seem to be talking rubbish in that 3rd para.... "The right players"???
That would mean Jol buying the players...
Which means DC buying the players....
Which means more players like Kaboul, KPB and other players who aint ready to wear the Spurs badge....
Which means more players for JR to get rid of, QUICK!

Now is the time to buy the right players, as we have the right manager who is in control, and who wont buy Rasiak or Murphy in desperation

Sorry TMWNN, but couldnt just let it slide mate.

Anybody noticed Berbatov in any of the training pics? Obviously him not being in a picture doesn't mean anything, but it might suggest he is elsewhere agreeing personal terms.

That said could you imagine him playing in the sea with the rest of the lads... I wish I could but they look to be bonding and maybe next season there won't be so many mid match tantrums and dropped heads

No need to apologise kwakspur, it's all about opinions, although I'm not sure why you think I'm talking rubbish regarding the players that were, or more importantly, were not brought in last summer. The table doesn't lie.

Sharp-eyed christhespur located Keane in the golf-course series of pics. In the new buch of images he does figure more prominently.

But no Berba. Maybe he's shy. Maybe he's worried the salt-water will damage his hair. Or maybe - back at the golf-course - someone reminded him how important it is to show commitment to a club, and he got busy with an iron. Or maybe he's just holding out for a wedge.

Love the 'Playing with the boys' comparison.

You can only giggle when you see the team enjoying themselves.

I, like many of you, are just jealous that we werent the ones holding onto Bales abs. You know what I mean!

Marcos mention amazing fitness amongst the lads. Lots of team bonding. Cant wait till August....

Top 4. Top 4. Top 4.

Zuvu yeay.

Sorry what?

You would have 3 defensive midfielders playing in your team? 3 players that are arguably squad players for next season.

Hmmm....

Gomes

Hutton King Woodgate Bale

Huddlestone

Bentley Dos Santos

Modric

Keane Berbatov


Now that is class on grass...

Oh yeah, you can def see him (looking mopey ) in the background of one of the bale/j2s hillock races too.

Incidentally, anyone else intrigued by the way Bale seems to winning that sprint? (Can't really read anything into it, but thort the new young fella was supposed to be lightening?).

*Full disclosure* I muttered on about the relative speeds of players as a lurking 'LawksaLurky' previously. Seems this is gonna be a theme with me - until we can actually watch our boys flying again (Then i'll just go back to criticising Lennon's crossing )

opinions differ
the hud is a cm,jenas is rm,o'hara is lm,
hutton and bale down the flanks
your line up is very pretty and is for when we are 1-0 down or 2-0 up or feeling fine at home ...plus bently hasn't signed

''plus bentley hasn't signed''

You doubt the words of our one and only HH?

HH, is there a block button on your blog?

I am about prettiness and shape. Ramos is spanish and our play next season will represent that.

continued...

We just need to sign someone else to take over the DMC role....

harry do you deny pinching info off other sites such as COYS, Spurscommunity, FTL, Spursodyssey?

146. Dave

Dave, do you deny not bothering to read what I actually write? Credits are given endlessly. I will not reopen the subject on relation to information coming from MORE than one devine source. Now fuck off and go be hero somewhere else.

Dave - the relentless repetition of this constant accusation is actually unspeakably dull.

I'm sure I speak for more people than myself when I say that I couldn't honestly give a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut where I read the news, or who breaks it first. And if the news here isn't exclusive (and it's noted often enough to make it clear when it isn't) then good - because I don't want to trawl the web to collate my info, any more than I want to have to buy all the newspapers just for one days news.

Now, please, stick around and engage in some simile of decent debate, or fuck right off.

Dave

I know Harry can speak for himself but sometimes I really wonder at the occasional 'contributors' here. Personally, I couldn't give a flying faeces if Harry 'nicks' (as you put it) stuff from elsewhere. Each of those sites probably nick, borrow or appropriate stuff from the other. So what? Big deal. Maybe they even nick stuff from here - now there's a thought.

Harry might well be the reincarnation of Robin Hood, for all I know. The same principles apply: get the wealth and share it among the people.

Now, before you swipe back, I'm not touting HH as some social hero or suggesting he be entered into national folklore. All I'm saying is that - at base - he (like most of us here) is a Spurs fan; and it cheers him and all of us heartily to see our brilliant club win develop, and to learn of or anticipate exciting news. It makes us feel good.

For isn't that all we ALL want? - whatever local or political allegiances we may or may not have - we want to see Spurs beat everyone and be top team.

I remember after the Carling Cup win. I dragged my wife to the Bell and Hare in the High Road to join in the fun. Everyone was happy. Happy? They were delirious. Cars were tooting there horns. People were singing and hugging. The place was alive with a common joy that united us all. Yet, on any other occasion, we would have all passed each others as strangers on the street. But, on that wonderful day, we were all brothers and sisters.

As fans, we bang on about how elitist football is becoimg. We lament the spread of corporate boxes and the rise in cost to the common man and women (the hearts of souls of a club). But, at the same time, some of seem happy to embrace an elitist approach to the dissemination of information about the club we love. Why? Who benefits? Harry doesn't expect to receive plaudits and garlands every time he delivers news, any more than I'd expect other sane site administrators to.

COYS

By the way, Harry, the flowers are in the post. Look out for Interflora.

Just back from a little shoplifting. Anyone wanna buy a watch?

Actually just banging my head against the brick wall that is THFC. Why do they need five days to reply to an email? And yesterday was day six. Grrrr.

And before anyone says it, yes I was asking for directions to the ground ho fucking ho...

Anywho.

This was on the OS LINK and clearly shows RK looking miserable and wishing he was christened Barry not Bobby.

Any truth that Mansion have been dropped in favour of The Terrence Higgins Trust for next season?

I recall Fredi Kanoute praising Ramos and his coaching techniques around the time Ramos took over. I'm sure Fredi said that training sessions were never boring - unlike his experience under Jol. (Okay, he may have just been taking a swing, but I believe he was sincere.)

Anyway, in order to be good at something you have to love doing it. I feel pretty good that the lads are training hard, bonding and enjoying themselves in Spain. Essentially, I feel pretty good that Ramos seems to have grabbed their interest and kindled their enthusiam.

I wonder what sea's like in Tranmere.

Is this unsubstatiated twattery? LINK
It's a link too far. Time for beer.

I have it on good authority that The Daily Mail online makes my head hurt.

Staffed by the missing link.

Certainly a masterclass in Hot Airary.

Back to the Seaside Special snaps... I think there may be a genuine sense of rebirth amongst the soldiers. The new broom is sweeping in earnest, a new doctrine, a new beginning. We Yids ought to know. We've seen a few.

Some are nervous and talk about all the new faces, our old friend, the phrase, 'need to gel' has resurfaced. I don't agree. There is an attitude of common purpose and real sense of determination in what Ramos et al are up to here.

Look at Cheatski's back to back title winning team. All the snipes in the world could not resist their combination of talent and team spirit. No. I wouldn't want to be stuck in a lift with any of them either, but the tag 'mercinary' was off beam against the reality of them playing more for each other and the greater good than just about anyone else.

Arshavin. Or Arsharvrin as Lineker & Co called him. Easy to say this is risable. So I will. It's 20.50 on a Saturday night and I'm not looking to unravel the Bible Code

goddam, please not arshavin...another rebrov in the offing. don't sell berba on the cheap...and i think we'll still get bentley, HH i have faith

My life has significantly improved since I completely stopped clicking on daily mail.sh*te around 6 months ago. I recommend it.
