So how’d that go then? Letting Usman Kahn, convicted of terrorism charges, out of prison ‘under license’, wearing a digital tag, because he’d been ‘de-radicalised’? How’d that go? I’ll tell you how it went; the obscene fucker stabbed 5 people, randomly, killing two of them, and then incurred the wrath of London. Or, more specifically, – Read More-
What constitutes a ‘safe job’ in football management? Actually, there isn’t one. Mauricio Pochettino was the 22nd sacking this season of a club manager (across all the 4 divisions). The first was Sol Campbell, ironically, given rumours, by very optimistic Arsenal fans, that Poch my cross ‘the divide’ and assist their blighted, beleaguered… buggered club. – Read More-
This cockerel is nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur. Ok, it looks like our cockerel but its not. Probably a cousin. Great-grandfather. From Nigeria. But as any cockerel will undoubtedly and immediately catch my eye in that ‘conditioned stimulus’ kind of way that dogs react to slabs of meat, I read the tale of the – Read More-
The Pope’s in Tokyo. Catch a flight now and you can see him. Though he’s very popular there and you might not get in. Because there’s 600,000 Catholics in Japan. Which is quite a few. But out of a population of 125 million that’s less than half a percent of the people. But because Japan – Read More-
Well I’m sorry if I’m late today, Jesus! So you had to read the newspaper on the tube instead, big fucking deal! I’m not solely in charge of your morning reading matter, I have RESPONSIBILITIES. Even if I’m consistently the most irresponsible person I know. Not the point. You’re important, but when I get a – Read More-
You only sing when you’re winnin’; Sing when you’re wiii-nnin… (Rinse and repeat. And repeat. And repeat.) I LOVE JOSE MORINHO!!! He’s our saviour, our Lord, our GOD and the best manager that football has ever known! He’s pretty, he’s clever, he’s wonderful, he’s ‘modest’ and HE WINS. As he did yesterday. For Spurs. At – Read More-
Jeremy Corbyn is officially ‘Brexit-neutral’. He said so yesterday. Which, like ‘gender-neutral’ is a pretty worthless and annoying thing to be. Everyone has a gender, whether they choose to deploy it or not, and thus everyone has a view on Brexit, however woolly and sitting-on-fences they appear to be. But I like the idea of – Read More-
According to sources, (cos I wouldn’t read it under torture), yesterday’s Daily Male contained 11 pages of ‘news’ about Prince Andrew, 7 pages about Spurs and 6 about the general election. Ok, its a shitty newspaper but I think really that’s the state of the gossip in the nation. Particularly this part of the nation. – Read More-
So what happened yesterday was that two men left their offices for good. Stepped down from public life. One was Prince Andrew, the disgraced royal befriender of paedophiles, the other was Mauricio Pochettino, the former manager and Demi-god of Tottenham Hotspur football club. And I think the replacement went to the wrong place. Rather than – Read More-
Well there’s certainly one way to forget about the election, forget about Brexit, about Labour, Corbyn, McDonnell, forget about Hong Kong, even forget about Prince Andrew. Just sack your team’s manager and everything else becomes unimportant, trivial, almost meaningless. But even that truly massive, globally humongous, tragically earth-shattering event almost pales into insignificance when the – Read More-
