altogether now:

HE SHOOTS; HE SCORES; HE EATS YER LABRADORS; SON HEUNG MIN; SON HEUNG MIN… (repeat and rinse).

I’d firstly like to thank Spurs Paul for introducing me to that wonderful little ditty about our new striker, even though its an obviously facile and insulting stereotype of the entire Korean race. Its racist and unfair. Not all Koreans eat dogs and not all dogs get eaten.

Just thought I’d clear that up.

So Spurs have their second victory in the same week. A feat not achieved since… well, long time. On Sunday, should we beat Palace (may it please the Lord; it would certainly please me) that would be a hat-trick of wins. And that surely is the marker for what is to come. For the riches of silverware and glory inevitably destined to arrive at a White Hart Lane near you, sometime in the middle of next year.

Ok, we beat bottom-of-the-table Sunderland (well, they were, Newcastle have since ‘undertaken’ them for that coveted slot) in a very unconvincing win at the Stadium of Shite last Sunday.

And then last night we beat the mighty Qarabag. A team known as ‘The Real Madrid of one little part of Azerbaijan’. But so what that they were far easterners pretending to be European for the sake of the European riches. We can only play who they give us and we beat them proper. Though apparently (I wasn’t there; too much tai chi; too little time) the victory was rather hesitant at times.

Who fucking cares? Its about results. Not excuses. And in a week when English results in European competitions has been rather poor. With both Manchester teams losing their opening Champions League (what? never heard of it?? No its ‘the other’ European cup for those not worthy to play in the more proper Europa League) matches and Arsenal getting beat up in Zagreb and losing their only striker to a red card. Lucky they didn’t waste all that money buying another. Better off keeping it in the bank, Arsene, definitely.

So the glory days are back. Just make sure you keep bringing on the crappy teams. That’s not too much to ask, surely?

Happy days

A xxxx
