International Rescue

Can't say that I was at all bothered until
I started to realise how much it would
upset The Wammers. Sounds like the boy
wants to move up in the world...

There was a time...

when pre season meant Spurs never being
off the back pages. Now it just seems Sir H
of Redknapp is just asked about any player
who might be for sale, and usually replies
that of course he is a triffic player, but way
out of our league, silly money, the game's
gone crazy, etc, etc, etc...
Maybe my mistake, but I thought that the
Champions League would have the stars
of Pig Bladder kicking, and their agents,
beating a path with shitty sticks down to
Sandbanks and falling at the feet of Sir H
of R?
Apparently, and remember you heard it here
first, Ledley may not be fit for the start of
the season, and neither may Woodgate.
Come on Levy, get your Champions League
wallet out!

World wide Webb...

"A World Cup final deserves great refereeing
and, above all, deserves a referee who dares
to do everything it means to be a judge."
I think that if Howard Webb came from
another country, then our press would have
strung him up... He should have had the
courage to send off De Jong or Van Bommel
in the first half, which would have allowed
the Spanish to play football. Mr Webb played
a major part in spoiling what should have
been a great game. It would never have
happened if Hugh Dallas had been in charge!
The quote, by the way, is from Cruyff.

Tippy v Tappy

I've always quite liked the Dutch,
Orange kit, total football, Cruyff,
Edam, the Smurfs. What's not to
like? Oh yes, Robin Van Persie.
I've always quite liked the Spanish
despite losing a few quid having
backed them in every tournament
except the last Euro's and this
World Cup. What's not to like?
Oh yes, Fabregas.
So we are left with Hobson's
choice, but with a marginal leaning
to the Spanish, as he's on the subs
bench. Which is the same position he
will play at Barca.
I've got a feeling that it's going to
penalties, so the Dutch have no
chance!
