Fashion Victims
A house full of computers and not an internet connection amongst them. Such was my torture yesterday after for our well won three points.
So, we’re going to finish fifth. We have to. It’s just too easy. One more win would probably do it and there can’t be an easier fixture than Man City at home, except maybe Man City away.
I do feel slightly sorry for Charlton. I’d rather it was West Ham we sent packing and last years visit to the Valley was probably my favourite away day of all time. Still, I’m sure they’ll be back soon enough minus the services of Darren Bent, whose whereabouts are no doubt the subject of a good few feet of column inches today and the next few months.
We may have put two stunners past them; an exquisite piece of play from Dimitar the Great with a touch that’s so good it hurts and a cheeky number from the Little Yiddo, who couldn’t quite suppress a smile of sweet revenge on his taunters of so many years; but I don’t believe it was last night we sent them down. No, I think we relegated them a long time ago; last season actually, when we bought Danny Murphy.
Without the good start Charlton had to last season, they may well have been relegated last May. They haven’t had anything close to a central playmaker with the ubiquitous defence splitting pass this season and their only means of attack have been speculative crossing and lumping it up to Darren Bent.
I don’t suppose it makes any odds to the Addicks fans when or who put the nail into the coffin. It just so happens it was us who hammered them both.
Aside the goals and the consequences of the game itself there was another moment that put an usurpressable smile onto The Bagel’s lips.
“Berbatov is very happy at our club,” so said MJ.
“I had a word with him yesterday and he said he is so happy here.
“The crowd and the supporters are always positive and he said ‘what more do I want?’
But enough of yesterday’s news (technically known as olds) and to the continuation of the Chimbonabonda saga that began with the words:
“I would like to play for Arsenal one day, who Knows where I will end up?
Football is a strange game and you never can tell where you will end up. Arsenal are a great club but right now I am at Tottenham.”
The pillock. Look Pascal, we’re not stupid. We understand that loyalty is for fans not for players but we don’t want to hear it. We want to believe in the fragile illusion that you love the club as much as we do, so keep quiet about your moves but most of all you idiot, don’t talk about how much you admire our sodding rivals.
We’re wise enough to know that any player who fucks over one club to join us is not going to be the most trustworthy of Lilywhites but then that’s what contracts are for. There’s no reason for us to boot out Bonders on this outburst, after all we’d only be cutting off our nose to spite our face. If he wants to go, then let him and we’ll make sure that we get a good price.
As it stands, he’s one of the best around and we need him but let’s keep him on a tight leash. As soon as the Bosman alarm starts ringing he’s out on his ear.
For an alarm bell louder still, have a look at the latest offering from the Daily Mail’s insider at Spurs. The model you’ll recognise, the kit…well…
…now either Keano’s signed for Blackburn or I’m going to throw up. I’m really hoping this is some sort of 3rd or 4th choice shirt. It’s so wrong it hurts.
Get your bagels round that lot.
The Bagel.

what the fuck?Why has it got white shorts aswell???????????????
May 9th, 2007 at 4:24 pm
shocking if thats the new away kit, I refuse to contemplate that it could be the home, but it can’t be the away kit if white is the home as you would not be able to play that kit against a white team. So hope Bagel is right and its the Inter Toto emergency kit.
May 9th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
something just came to mind, the first ever shirt we had was this design, it’s obviously coz of the twenty-fifth anaversary.

i have a horrible feeling that the daily mail has got it right. bugger that! who’s idea?
May 9th, 2007 at 6:10 pm
FFS! Just because the scum had their wanky special kit last year to commemerate their old shit hole we have to follow suit.
Surely this can only be a 3rd / 4th kit or maybe to be worn during cup competitions. Hopefully, it won’t be worn at all.
I blame United. They had that god awful yellow and green halved shirt to celebrate their Newton Heath origins.
What a load of merchandising bollocks.
May 9th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Oh my giddy aunt, what is that? Couldn’t we have gone for the very first kit of royal blue?
1992Yido, like the joke by the way, I work with a Leeds fan & can’t wait to tell him!
COYS!
May 9th, 2007 at 6:54 pm
the thing is, keano’s wearing it so it must be genuine, actually for some reason it’s allready growing on me…. don’t ask why.
COYS!
May 9th, 2007 at 7:17 pm
Even I wouldn’t buy that…
jesus it’s disgusting…( along with Chimbonda’s atitude, but…fuck it, charge em £7 mil for him…)
May 9th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
looks a little bit computer-generated…
May 9th, 2007 at 7:36 pm
my brother’s a leeds united fan so he’s pretty gutted,but hey, life goes on.
p.s we’re all going on a european tour!!
May 9th, 2007 at 8:02 pm
DS
I agree. it does have an air of CGI about it… Hope so anyway! I still say the royal blue kit would’ve been a better option. Here’s another thought, are they merely showing it like that to display the home & away kit options? Worse still, it takes the place of the chocolate & gold for our UEFA Cup away kit… Please NO!
May 9th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
that chocolate kit is SO nice. Big bruvs got it, and his son’s got the whole kit, i’me so jealous!!!
May 9th, 2007 at 9:31 pm
I only managed to get the shirt for my son Mini Yid, obviously my eldest son already had one!
The club crest started to peel away, Mini Yid settled for a full refund, but was very disappointed to surrender his shirt
I must admit, I really did like it & wanted one for myself. The club must have lost a lot of money in returns, but I suppose ultimately Puma bore the cost. They won’t be making anything with that type of application again!
May 9th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
actually there’s about six on ebay, are urealy berba’s old man?
May 9th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
That’s what I said & I’m sticking to it, though Mrs Yid of the Norf may not be too impressed if she found out of more offspring from my overactive teenage loins!

I think that shirt is the 125th anniversary shirt which will only be played in a couple of times, possible as a fa cup shirt or something.
My sources tell me that the white V-neck shirt posted on here a couple of days ago is the Home kit, with either a yellow or Black shirt as away kit possibly a Navy blue kit as 3rd choice then the retro halves shirt as a bit on the sides to fill the clubs coffers.
May 10th, 2007 at 9:12 am
here we are then, maybe one of the bigest games of the season, i can’t wait to watch it on sky sports later.

May 10th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Between 1884-1898 did Spurs play at Cheltenham or Kempton Park? Did they compete in the Grand National?
May 10th, 2007 at 9:42 am
what are u talking about mate?
May 10th, 2007 at 11:23 am
“Next season’s kits will also be an important part of our 125th anniversary celebrations, which begin later this year. As such, the designs will reflect and celebrate our history and heritage. To further celebrate this important milestone in our history, we will also be launching a special merchandise collection that includes a commemorative 125th anniversary kit”

what’s everyones faverite tottenham hotspur shirt of all time then? mine has got to be this seasons, or maybe the Hummel one from the late eightys.
COYS!
May 10th, 2007 at 1:50 pm
My favourite is the Le Coq Sportif one from the early eighties, it was very innovative way back then
Anyway, I’m at work for the match tonight, so I’ll try to keep an ear open & await updates on my pc
COYS!
May 10th, 2007 at 2:44 pm
havn’t you got a portable radio or somthing ?. 5 live should be covering it.
COYS!
May 10th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
Hi 1992YIDO
No radio will work in there unfortunately & I can’t really stretch my meal break to cover the entire match to listen to it in my car! BBC web site does a match tracker that automatically updates every two minutes, so I’ll have to make do with that
Anyway, it’s been good to chat with you over the last few days
COYS!
May 10th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
As I’m getting hitched on saturday, I too will miss the game. 3 Points will make me a very happy chappy. If we could nail 5th place, it really will have been a more successful season than last year. COYS!
101 goals, lets see if we can make it a nice round 110 by the time we have finished with man city!
May 10th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
totaly agree with you mate, last season was one to remember, as we were above arsenal for moste of it, but, this term we’ve been challenging in all the cups, we have scored more goals and financially we’re sound, yep, the glory days are definitely coming back.
COYS!
May 11th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Congratulations TobytheYid. Enjoy your day on Saturday.
Hopefully, we will all be celebrating come 5 pm on Sunday.

such a dissepointing game last night, i was sitting there on my sofa, almoste tearing my hair out with fustration, but at least we didn’t lose. it’s not to mutch to ask to beat man city is it? and what about ghaly, at one point there were chants of ” ghaly your a tw*t, ghaly ghaly your a tw*t” and ” your not fit to wear the shirt” and after all jol has done for him, turning him into a well known player, we can deffinitey say keano made a difference.
COYS!
May 11th, 2007 at 3:19 pm
Hello 1992YIDO
It sounds to me like SKY Sports have the technology to change some of the chants heard at televised matches?
From where I was sitting i’m sure we were all using the much more colourful, and accurate “Ghaly Ghaly you’re a CUNT” ditty.
YIDS!
May 11th, 2007 at 3:55 pm
1992Yido - It was actually ‘ghaly, your a c*nt’ but close enough. Personally I didn’t join in because I could understand his frustrations, he had a shocker and can you imagine the feelings you would get if literally the WHOLE stadium is yelling at you and getting on your back. However he’s got a lot of redeeming to do if he wants to win back our respect (not that he had a great deal to begin with) COYS
May 11th, 2007 at 5:44 pm
i personally don’t want to see him wearing the shirt again, it’s not like it’s jols fault, keano did make a big difference though didn’t he guys, we wouldn’t have even got a point whithout him.
COYS!
May 12th, 2007 at 12:47 am
I was at the Blackburn game where we lost 4-0 (Sheringham’s last game) and was in the right stand to see Etherington telling the fans to fuck off you cunts… I still count him as my most hated former Tottenham player (ok, except for Judas).
Last night was a bit different. I’m prepared to forgive and forget, he had a shocker and he was pissed off at the humiliation of being subbed on and off. He should apologise, and we should forgive him, after having rightly called him a cunt for doing what he did.
Lets not turn it into a witchhunt just because he isn’t the most popular player around. We wouldn’t do it if a popular player had acted so petulantly and by all accounts he isn’t a drama queen or a bad guy within the club.
It isn’t going to happen though!
May 12th, 2007 at 10:35 am
in my opinion he can drag his arse back to egypt, or wherever it is he comes from.wanker.
May 13th, 2007 at 1:02 am
am i dreaming it or did i see a clip of a berba interview with him wearing a yellow version of that shirt? the neckline looks similar to what he was wearing–i thought it was just a training kit.
