Mornin' Ivan!
What a weekend! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I have no voice this morning and a very bad hangover but I’m just so stupidly happy! Jenas? Hmmmm I’ll let hin off this time but he was only on 10 minutes!
Is it really a fortnight away? Blimey – that snuck up a bit quick…looking forward to that! Heh!
Mid-week was disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. I notice Platini - a man not short on giving his opinions publicly on anything and everything about ‘a fair game’ has been very, very quiet about his national team.
Still, Thierry Henry and the damage done aren’t going to ruin my week! I’ve been scouring the papers at work, and here’s the best write-up for yesterday (from The Guardian). It should be said in a ‘Charlton-Heston-coming-down-off-the-mountain-with-a-big-stone-tablet’ sort of voice with John Williams doing his Star Wars thing…
"There is simply no containing Tottenham Hotspur on occasions such as these. To gawp at the sight of this team shredding Wigan was to acknowledge that, where Manchester City have the money and Liverpool the expectation, Spurs boast the firepower to keep them in the top four this term. At their slick best, this side is utterly irrepressible.
Jermain Defoe's seven-minute hat-trick, and a five-goal haul all plundered after half-time, took the breath away but this was a remarkable show of team attacking. Aaron Lennon, recovered from an ankle injury, and Niko Kranjcar offered contrasting if equally stunning play on either flank. Tom Huddlestone and Wilson Palacios steamrollered a Wigan midfield that is normally physically imposing. The Latics departed the pitch a collection of quivering wrecks. Real psychological damage may have been inflicted."
Just love that last bit! hahahahaha!
