previously on THFC Blue…

After Gareth went ran off to Spain to be with Christiana, Daniel was bereft and Andrea the Very Beautiful was trying everything to make him happy once more. She brought in loads of hopeful replacements but it just wasn’t having the desired effect and Daniel became miserable. Ok, even more miserable than usual.
Daniel threw Andrea out, telling her never to return, and ‘take that poxy four-and-a-half million quid’ with you when you leave! And that was the end of Daniel’s 14th marriage in 8 months.
Little Timmy moved into the big house, eager to please Danny, but a whole gang of chirpy cockney shitheads came over and ruined the honeymoon.
Would Timmy last the weekend?
Will Daniel miss AVB and call her back (bringing her cash with her)?
Will Danny ever find true happiness…

During the Swansea/Everton match Gary Neville made an interesting comment following Swansea’s last substitution. He said (translated directly from the original ‘northern’): Laudrup’s changing to 4-4-2; that seems to be the default setting when you need a goal.

So tell me, precisely, when a team doesn’t need a goal? When they have too many? When they don’t really want to score??
Thus did Tim Sherwood go into the darkest recesses of the Spurs storeroom and dust off Adebayor, the Tempermental Togon.
And its been so long since he’s worn a Spurs shirt that he must have thought he was playing for a new club and thus went into ‘impress mode’. A condition he’s only ever used in 3-month bursts. But yesterday it was used to great effect in a true man-of-the-match performance, alongside Soldado who was so much more comfortable with the big guy beside him.

More importantly Spurs looked, for the first time this season, like a proper Spurs team. Attacking with speed and movement, creating opportunities and dominating possession. Against a high-flying Southampton team who themselves look pretty good and have quite a little wealth of talent. Not as expensive as our talent, of course, but few are.

I’m still not happy with the AVB sacking but we were not privy to the atmosphere, the discord and the negativity that his presence may have been causing. And we never will be. Nor can we do much about it.

Liverpool beat Cardiff and yet Malky Mackay is still in charge of the Welsh team there, to everyone’s surprise, especially Tam Vincent, the horrible Cardiff boss. Thus Liverpool went to of the table.

Later on Man City used one of their 2nd 11s to beat poor Fulham and went second in the table.

Manchester United beat West Ham but that was never much of a question as they quieted that fucking chirping.

So tonight. What a game. Arsenal against Chelsea. If Arsenal lose they can have made the plummet from top to 4th in one weekend, and Chelsea go 2nd. If the Arse win they return to top slot. Its all very exciting. Its all very close.

Spurs can still win the league.
And Santa Claus IS real.

Happy monday; joyful, delirious, delightful, victorious monday
