A right racist bagel
Amazing. Three left backs and all of them injured for the trip to Sunderland. Wait a minute, you know what that means? There could well be a place for new signing and king of the recent Eurfoot Tournament, Yuri Berchiche. Now, it being an away day, the first of the season and a guaranteed bruiser against not only a Championship side but a Roy Keane Championship side, MJ may decide against this blooding for the 17-year-old that could become something closer to a decapitating but I would be disappointed not to at least see the Basque born youngster make the squad. Instead, we’ll most probably see the likes of an Ifil, Stalteri or Rocha out of position and plugging the gap. Another time Yuri.
By the way, my sincerest apologies if I have offended anyone French, Spanish or Basque by referring to Yuri Berchiche as having any kind of ethnic background whatsoever and associating said background with him or his football in any way. After all I would not want anyone to assume that all Basque footballers are left backs, or left back to do anything at all, or have a left side, or a back. Neither would I want to insinuate that all Basque people are 17. It’s simply not true. The Basque people are of many ages, not just 17. They are a fully fledged people of a range of generations. Not that there’s anything wrong with being 17. It’s a fine age and I do hope I haven’t offended the 17-year-olds of the world by referring to them in any way. Just because Berchiche is 17, it doesn’t mean that all 17 year-olds of the world are called Yuri Berchiche and I apologies profusely if I have suggested that they are. Neither are all 17-year-olds condemned to play at left back. They can play many positions, not that there’s anything wrong with playing at left back. My apologies to all left backs out there…and the right ones too, I wouldn’t want to discriminate against you just because you happen to favour a different side.
One player who could solve our problem, if today’s rumours are to be believed, is Portsmouth’s Matt Taylor. Matt is free to play in whichever position he feels like and I would in no way imply that he be fit only for one kind of role but that racist bastard Harry Redknapp (no offence meant to Jamie or Louise or any other Redknapp out there, relayed or otherwise) has been pigeon-holing him on the left side of the field and it may be a stereotyping that would suit our team well.
We all know that Taylor can play at the back or in midfield which would suit us down to the ground and deeper and we also know that he can kick the ball. I don’t remember a goal of the month last season without an effort from the 25-year-old. Bloody hell, I thought he was much younger than that. It seems like only the other day he was running round in his nappies playing for the U21s. Then again it seems possible to play for them at almost any age, so maybe that’s right.
Now firstly, I think this is a load of shit. He’s not the flying winger we’re after and with a glut of left backs - all be them injured - I can’t see that anyone involved would want this deal, good as Taylor is, but then again, stranger things have happened, such as breaking the club record for a striker we didn’t think we needed until he picked up 5 goals in 5 starts in pre-season.
The asking price is around the £8m mark and I’d think Redknapp crazy to let one of their best players go but some are saying that Haggling Harry (Harry Haggler) has told Taylor that he cannot guarantee him a start in midfield. Strange as this may seem, don’t write this story off as stuff and nonsense. It’s been reported by more than one of the more accurate sporting papers, not least the Sun and the Mail and after all, Taylor is relatively young and English - or is our club’s policy racist? Wait a minute if I’m writing about it, I must be a racist…and hang on you’re reading it. You’re all racists too.
Right that’s it, I’m off to Luxembourg to hand myself in to the European Courts of Justice and I’ll go via Strasbourg to drop in on the European Court of Human Rights, after all, I wouldn’t want to be discriminating between the two.
Before I go, I bring you the sad news of yet another turn of the revolution Tottenham trainee who clung on for years but never quite made the grade. Great name for a not so great player, defender Rodrigo Defendi has left the building.
Now don’t forget to have a shuffle of your fantasy football teams for the start of the Bageliga tomorrow. For those as yet to get a team in, what better way to chip away those Friday afternoon hours until weekend o’clock by playing manager and picking an XI that can win you some bread. Monthly prizes on offer and bragging rights to be won.
Remeber now, no Big Four, no ex-arsenal and three spurs a must…or am I being teamist? League code: 493516-91718

So thats no big four, no ex arsenal, three spurs a must, whites only, and lee bowyer and jonathan woodgate must be included - have I got that right?
August 10th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
and obligatory monkey chanting while choosing your team.
The Bagel.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
OK then. Let’s bring on the fantasy team. It’s a lot harder when there are no Big Four allowed - I’ve got 0.5m left which should be enough to buy Ghaly a one way ticket to Scunthorpe.
There is nothing better than …Ginola’s Hair
August 10th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
Does anyone know where I can catch the game on the internet tomorrow? I’m in America and I don’t get Setanta so I can’t watch it.

There you go mate. Might require you to download sopcast or something similar but it only takes a sec.
August 11th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
All that bile… all that shite…
“Spurs will clinch 4th spot…”
“Spurs have the best 4 strikers in England…”
“Spurs are the future of English football…”
ha ha! Certainly looked like it, when you have only 1 decent shot on target against a Scottish goalkeeper, making his debut for a team that’s just been promoted!
Fucking love it!
That’s what you mugs get, for flapping your gums, before a ball has even been kicked!
Fucking yid flid cunts! Ha ha
YOU’VE GOT YOUR TOTTENHAM BACK… YOU’VE GOT YOUR TOTTENHAM BACK…

Dear oh dear oh dear. Lap it up, gooners.
Stuffed, yea, 94th minute cor what a stuffing.
August 12th, 2007 at 10:40 am
Clock End Gooner doing his best to remind us all why most of ‘them lot’ are such inbred mugs.
August 12th, 2007 at 5:10 pm
let’s all go on arsenal blogs!! that’ll be fun…
August 13th, 2007 at 9:55 am
And say what exactly:
Erm, we lost to a team of kids and journeymen, and Jol doesn’t know how to use our strikers.
Or you could flame them:
You won, and got three points. erm.
August 13th, 2007 at 10:32 am
I don’t approve of the racism against the Scottish goalkeeper either.
August 13th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Nor do I - I’m glad you finally decided to support me oog.
August 13th, 2007 at 1:43 pm
just wondered why The Bagel has Bentley in his fantasy league team? surely you did not forget he was an ex goon?
August 13th, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Hahahaha - well done bagel !!!!!
August 13th, 2007 at 9:52 pm
clock end gooooner
As a practicing “yid” I don’t appreciate the RACIST comments you’ve made against my creed, namely f*cking yid flid c*nts
I proudly chant the Yid chants for Spurs, but your comments were slap bang out of order
You’ve shown yourself up to be an out & out racist
With regards to last Saturday’s match as I said to some Sunderland fans at the end of the game, one game does not make a season!
COYS!
August 13th, 2007 at 10:17 pm
well said yotn….
August 14th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Though I wholeheartedly agree with ‘Yid of the North’’s sentiments, I wonder how sincere he can be.
If he is a self styled ‘Yid’, as his name and match activities imply, he should not take offence when that description is used toward him. Kinda smacks of double standards doesn’t it ?
As for the flid comment, one cannot tell how factual this can be from reading words on a screen.
The f*cking c*nts bit seems just about right though.
FOYS!
August 14th, 2007 at 9:19 am
There is talk of signing Davies and Guti today in the press. I think we need them both!
August 14th, 2007 at 9:27 am
The truth is I’ve never had a girlfriend and I’m a bit of a sad c*nt.
August 14th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Guti coul do the same job as Davids did being the experienced head.
August 14th, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Booed off the pitch, first home game of the season.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
4th place - your having a laugh !!!!!
I’m surprised you could hear the booing, the place was nearly empty 15 minutes to go !!!!!
Looking forward to the season now ?
August 14th, 2007 at 10:21 pm
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA…
WELL, WELL, WELL MY YIDDISH CHUMS…
Yet another summer of B.S.! Talking up your shite joke of a football club, only to be left, along with Newcastle, as the Premier League’s, laughing stock!
When will you lot, ever just get your head down & hope for the best, rather than making cunts of yourself, OVER N’ OVER N’ OVER AGAIN, with your talk of being a “BIG CLUB” with “BIG HISTORY” and we play “PROPER FOOTBALL”…
Ohh, but you silly mugs do make me laugh!
[[inappropriate content removed]]
Ohh happy days!!!
August 14th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Just goes to show Oi oi, we can make ourselves heard regardless of how full the stadium is….shame you can’t.
What a shambles.
August 14th, 2007 at 11:04 pm
Bagel
With regard to clock end gooooooner’s last anti simitic comments (which, as a jew myself I take offence to) is there anything we can do about this mindless, racist rubbish? I know the internet is probably not the best policed, but can’t this be reported to some authority?
This is a first class blog, but with this irrelevant intrusions by mindless idiots it is rapidly getting spoilt
Anyway, yes a second defeat, but let’s not get too exited, unlike out plastic north London neighbours (who belong south of the water!) We’ll bounce back to winning ways
COYS!
August 15th, 2007 at 12:50 am
Surely you’re taking the piss, YOFTN? You use the term yourself, but once someone else uses it, it’s “Baaaad”. Now, myself, i don’t call Spuds the Y word, i consider it a stupid and ignorant term, but in your case it’s double standards.
PS, winning ways? What, like you been doing for the last 64 years?
August 15th, 2007 at 8:16 am
Wilson,
Yep, don’t you worry, the whole world heard you boo your team of at half time and full time (those few that remained).
You definately made yourself heard, and no doubt the players understand your feelings, they are in for a long, long season.
First game !!!! Some SUPPORTERS you are !
August 15th, 2007 at 8:18 am
And Yid, it’s Semitic.
And Hypocrisy.
August 15th, 2007 at 9:05 am
i must admit i was worried hearing all the talk of spurs qualifying for the champs league this season especially with ‘great’ buys like darren’ i am english and ovverrated’ bent. then i saw you yids play:P i laughed and laughed- lucky to stay in the top ten!!
no matter what you fools do- YOU WILL NEVER BEAT THE GUNNERS. hahhahahahhahah
my prediction– spurs to be relegated to div one cuase thats where they belong!!!!
SUCK ON THAT!
August 15th, 2007 at 9:25 am
its semitic, is it?
Whats wrong with being semitic, oi oi?
Racist.
August 15th, 2007 at 9:43 am
or were you just correcting someone’s spelling?
You’re either a racist, or a pedantic racist.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:12 am
Well, last night’s game was certainly the opposite of what we were all expecting.
We did look like a side that was cobbled together. There can be no mistaking the fact that we really miss our central defence combo, and against a side as well organised as Everton, that was only ever going to lead to trouble.
What we really need is something better from our midfield, Jenas was largely rubbish. Again.
The work ethic could be a lot better, look how many balls Everton won, they were everywhere, and all over it a lot of the time.
Bad luck played its part, and we did look more likely to score in the first half - but with no service, again, the strikers will always struggle. How many of our ‘first choice 11′ were playing last night??
On a positive, Defoe again showed just how good, and hungry he is.
With regard to some of the disturbing comments left on here - I usually don’t argue with teenagers, leaving naughty comments while their mum cooks tea pay attention to that flavour of twat, however, I DO find it amusing, considering how many Jewish people are involved in running and supporting Arsenal. But then realising that would involve a certain degree of intelligence. I just wonder whether these people have the courage of their convictions to, once they have finished playing World of Warcraft, voice these opinions in public? Or whether they are just a bit too excited and bored in the school holidays…
August 15th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Dont do it Bagel!!! things will get
better I too wanted to jump
of a bridge but will wait till the derby
game…
August 15th, 2007 at 11:40 am
oog - did you miss the last page of comments meathead? You’re saying exactly what I said.
Are you cut and pasting again ?
I do ask you where you find the evidence to suggest I am racist, I have made my stance on that subject very clear.
Finally, were I a true pedant, I would point out to Yid that Sematic refers to half of the middle eastern languages, and perhaps the term he was looking for was anti-Semitism.
No matter. spuds were awful last night, and if Derby get a result, will Jol be sacked ? I hope not - I like watching him fail.
August 15th, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Oi oi - lets call a truce.
its clear that you think I am a “meathead”, its clear that I don’t think much of your comments.
If you want to carry this conversation on, feel free to email me on ynesdae@hotmail.co.uk If we can both steer clear of the abuse maybe we can actually agree on something. And if not, at least this blog gets back to being about football!
August 15th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
ey, oi oi, hahaha & clock end gooooner
You should really read carefully & be more informed in general
I am Yiddish, not just a Spurs fan that goes by the name Yid of the Norf or chants “Yids” on match day, but by culture, religion & birth
The term yid is not offensive to me & no doubt not offensive to other jewish people, but comments like “yid flid c*nts” I do object to
I’m sure the bagel will always welcome opinions from the other side, as I do, but constructive points not a slanging match, name calling, insult trading, mindless mouthings etc… Keep it clean (my young son reads this blog), keep it about football
Shalom
COYS!
August 16th, 2007 at 12:24 am
Dear oh dear,
How messy this has got. It’s one thing to have an argument about racism, it’s another to come on here and start slinging around comments about carrying on Nazi’s work of gasing the Jews.
Spurs referring to them/ourselves as Yids is a notoriously sticky subject and the bottom line is that it is about reclaiming a word that was once an insult in the much the same way that many black men refer to each other as ‘nigger’ and homosexuals as ‘queer’ in affectionate ways. The difference between such people and racist is the way the term is meant and believe me when someone calls you a ‘Yid’ to your face, you know if they’re referring to you as a Tottenham fan or a derogitarily as a Jew.
It’s very sad that Clock End Gooner has decided to use this space in that way. However much his arsenal colleagues may lock horns with us here, at least they have the decency to behave in a proper manner. I feel sorry for oi oi, ey nd the others that they are associated with this kind of attitude and I’m sure they are as disgusted as we all are.
I trust that this discussion is at an end.
P.S. Totally forgot about Bently. Must have just read ‘Bent’ and thought of Darren. I’ll get the transfer in now and dock myself the points. I’d get the Lady Bagel to whip me soundly but then that’s hardly a punishment, now is it.
The Bagel.
