Beef Bagel

Two bagels at Everton. What? Two bagels – 0-0! Not bad, it would have been a bonus to get the win, but there didn’t seem to be many chances?

We beat one half of Manchester yesterday at least – should have put away more of those chances.

Almost certainly we won’t be lower than 8^th – fantastic really, in case you’ve forgotten that start? Just for those who are still worried, we won’t be relegated unless we go into administration.

Newcastle let us down badly – it would still be good to overtake Fulham, but it’s not easy now. Maybe the Europa League is a bit of a poisoned chalice, but you’ve got to be in it to win it!

You still couldn’t make up this season – a few more home goals would have been to the crowd’s liking but to finish with the fewest conceded at home in the Premiership and probably Spurs history is baffling! Defence seems to be better for once – let’s keep it this way, it’s gone pear-shaped before. Now to add more quality and start the push for better things next season.

Fingers crossed for Saturday. Calm down! Calm down!

Another streaky win, but they all count. You know I like more goals, but amazingly I read that we have the best home defensive record in the Premiership? I like good defences as well. Since our strikers have dried up a bit again, it’s good to see the midfield chipping in –well done, JJ!

Still hanging in there, but a difficult finish.

I’m not feeling so happy when I read transfer talk. I’m not like many of you who comment on here. I don’t think Arsenal are the real enemy – yes, they’re local but where I grew up they weren’t the most local rivals in London. They don’t seem to be a real threat in terms of wanting our players – it’s other teams, up North, that make me see red.

We are not a feeder club for them and we’ve got to stop this. I don’t want to read about a sale being good business, because if it’s not good business on the pitch it’s not good business. As for being a ‘dream move’, I want to see players dreaming of success and then achieving it with Spurs.

We have to avoid administration, but after that the finances don’t make sense – the club may have to go private? Dave Whelan (Wigan Chairman and JJB founder) on Sports Report told it as it is – don’t expect to make money out of football clubs.

We’re going to have to be a bit patient, but something’s going to have to change for a break up of the stranglehold the top four have on things at present. Andy Burnham’s right!

By the way, if the funding is there and planning consent is given, when will the new stadium be ready?
