>>Torres' goal was great, so that's a positive. Plus the mancs lost which is always a good thing.>>


Torres looks a fantastic buy - he oozes class and that goal was superb. And, yes, not at all displeasing to see Man City put one over United. There was a smug-git Sky pundit (cannot recall who - to me they're all interchangeable blandies) who asserted that, if the Championship ends up in Manchester this season then it certainly will not be with City. Hmmm.....Ericsson has done an amazing reconstruction job and has some class players whereas Ferguson's stars get themselves injured and/or stupidly suspended all the time.


As for Colin still ranting on against Benitez, he's out of work and has to earn his ??? somehow now you know!:))

Another Lehman clanger...what a beaut. Spurs hammer a toothless Derby County 4-0, Man U lose to City, Torres opens his account with fabulous goal for Liverpool, some terrible refeering decisions in the same match, Newcastle still can't score at home, Terry Sheringham still scoring goals for Colchester at 41, Leeds United making steady progress and is it time for video evidence on the goal lines after yet another "goal" disallowed at Fulham.
What the buggery f**k is going on at White Hart Lane? I can't believe the board are seriously contemplating getting rid of Martin Jol after giving him ?40 million to spend and we're only three games into the season. It's absolutely ridiculous. He's an excellent coach who, if what I'm hearing is true, could be out of a job by the end of the week and replaced by Seville's Juande Ramos. Have the board forgotten the excellent progress he has been making over the last couple of seasons? And the fact we have had so many injuries to key players hasn't helped his cause either. Words fail me. If he goes and I sincerely hope he doesn't, you can bet your bollocks he'll be very successful somewhere else.
Thanks for the link Keef...it's only slightly assuaged my fears. I suppose if he's still there on Sunday and we stuff Man Utd and follow that up with a win against the Scum the week after he'll have the job...oooh at least until the beginning of next season. Hmmm Bellamy...lovely bloke, nice to his mum etc etc.
I tend to agree - even if with injuries and - ahem - "injuries" it looks more like an England 3rd XI than a proper team. At least MacLaren does not go in for the wholesale substitutes in friendliee like Ericssen did. I might resolve not to watch it but know I will not be able to resist a Germany game as the kick-off approaches...

It's on BBC isn't it? In which case I think I'll flick past it every now and then to check the score... Can't afford a big night down the pub because I am about to put myself through a very stupid weekend!


That said, I'm meant to be meeting a mate in the pub at 7 for "an hour", so we'll see.....

I hate to say it, but I think the board at Spurs believed their own pre season hype, and expected to win everything this season. They've now told Jol his job depends on qualification for the Champs League! Talk about run before you can walk, surely an FA Cup win would be okay???

Yeah, don't ever believe the bollocks written in the Currant Bun. I think the board have been very foolish indeed. I think expectations have been way too high and it just adds to the pressure on the management and players alike. If, indeed had Martin Jol been sacked, which is a ridiculous notion at this point of the season and considering how good he's been for us; and then gone onto another club and been successful there, the board would have ended up with a serious amount of egg on their collective face and also, I think the fans would have turned against them too. Jol is very popular amongst us Spurs fans. Martin Jol's blue and white army!


Anyway to change the subject, how the hell does that useless tyke Alan Smith get in the England team? Beats me.

Once again England weren't good enough against the Germans. That's five or six we've lost on the trot at home. Robinson made an appalling error to gift the Germans a goal which changed the whole complexion of the game. All the other British sides won and performed pretty well. Team of the night though has got to be the Republic of Ireland. To win 4-0 in Denmark is a fantastic achievement. Wish I'd been able to watch that instead.

    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ?
