Yes like the odious Bentley, and the equally big headed Pennant.

Looks like Beckford might be off to Newcastle for ?3million though. Personally, if we get that much, I'd bite Mike Ashley's hand off. He's worth nowhere near that.



He'll be far more use at Newcastle, they've still got Barton, so a trained windscreen fitter/replacer is always handy.

Apropo of this (sort of). Did anyone else hear one of the commentators on 5 live the other night talking about how he was off at the Under 21's championship and his heavily pregnant wife decided to tear up half the carpets (nest building anyone?). She couldn't find anyone to fit new ones so said commentator was bemoaning the fact and Garry Birtles went round and did it for him! Twice winner of the European Cup and carpet fitter in a previous life. That's when footballers were proper!

I also remember a couple of years ago listening to an interview with a non-league manager who had led his side to the 3rd round of the FA Cup. He said there was nothing more stressful then driving along the high street and seeing your star stirker up a ladder cleaning windows. :))

Is it just me but it would already seem that young Jack Wilshire is already heading in that direction. I think the term is now called Bentleyitis.

Bentley's a good player. He's got a good first touch, is skilful, has good balance and a good passing range, both short and long. The problem is he's played out of position on the flanks. He doesn't have the pace to beat his man and get to the byline. He should be played centre mid where he can pull the strings and utilise his passing to the full.
That's bollocks. He aspired to be the new David Beckham. Beckham's got no pace yet he plays on the wing and has never had to beat his man to get a cross in. Agreed, he has all the attributes needed to be a good player but he doesn't work hard enough whether being played in the middle or on the flanks. The trouble with Bentley is he is not prepared to put in the hard work to improve his game. His ego is bigger than his talent.
Bentley HAD talent, whether or not he still has or is prepared to work to fulfil his potential is highly questionable,, which is why we kicked him out the door. That and the fact that he has the tendency to alienate himself from his fellow players. My eldest son has a mate who is Jamie O'hara's cousin, Jamie has told them that Bentleys attitude is very off hand and he treats the rest of the team and backroom staff with disdain.

Probably because nobody wants him. Jami O'Hara on the other hand has a great attitude and a decent player.

Exactly.

Yes, a good player. Works hard with the talent he has unlike Bentley. He's gone on loan to get more games and experience under his belt. With the squad we have at Spurs he wasn't going to get many games this season especially with the arrival of Nico Kranjcar

Get off Bentley's back. I've seen many players who have revitalized their careers under different managers. Let's face it, he doesn't get many opportunities under Harry and when he does he can't afford to have any slip ups or else he'll get dropped. I though Harry was a master of man management and the arm round the shoulder. Seems it doesn't extend to Bentley. You ve soon forgot about the great goal he scored against Old Vinegar face's bunch of foreigners last season. Call yourself a Spurs fan.

We suffered from a whole chunk of our squad believing their own hype the seasons after promotion and the only entertaining FA Cup final since the first world war.

All have now gone and most have learned the hard way that a nice comment from Ferguson does not a champions league final playing career make. They all play for things like Villa and Fulham and Birmingham, none are at the top four despite thinking themselves bigger than our little (yes cute ground keef) club.


I said good riddance at the time because talented or no these people upset dressing rooms, but I wish no ill will to them, reo-coker for instance is maturing nicely now and will feature in England midfields in his late twenties.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
