Posted on Saturday, 24th November 2012 by Harry Hotspur
Good morning and welcome to the only online betting guide brought to you in association with Alcoholics Anonymous and Assisted Deaths (Enfield) Ltd. If this service was a noise, it would be that bugle blast that Ryan play everytime their planes land on time. Irritating and having no guarantee of accuracy about it.
Sunderland meet West Brom. For those of you trying to adjust your Premier League tables do not bother. The Baggies are indeed 3rd. Their away form isn’t good, however Sunderland don’t have any form worth discussing home or away. In the interests of football I’d like to see Steve Clarke put Martin O’Neil to the sword here but the threat of a tedious draw has to be the favourite. Prediction 0-2
Everton vs Norwich could potentially be a beyond dull game. Everton been playing what a 1950′s football commentator would call ‘some very spirited’ football this term but they seem to get bogged down against lesser sides. Hughts will be travelling knowing that a draw wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. I think the King Of The Clipboard may just manage to stifle David Moyes. Prediction: 1-1
Manchester United take on QPR and this has got to be a fascinating fixture from a number of perspectives. If QPR get anything here then Mark Hughes’ dead duck of a managerial career will be well and truly cremated for all time. Arry Redschnapps the world’s leading Crisis Manager is a fox and looks not take charge until full time at the earliest. Prediction: 6-0
Stoke play Fulham and Wigan entertain Reading. If anyone watching either of these games is entertained I’ll be amazed. Predictions: 1-1 across the board.
Aston Villa face Arsenal and I can’t understand why Lambert who has so far sailed the good ship Villa into the relegation won’t play Bent. I’m no Bent fan, but desperate times call for desperate measures and right now the Brummies could do with a shin in or two. So this will either be a scrappy draw or a route, largely dependent upon what frame of mind the Gunners are in when they get off the coach. Prediction 1-4
Swansea vs Liverpool Another opportunity for Brendon Rodgers to drone on and on about respect, tradition, the fans …please shoot me now. I hope Swansea smash them. Prediction 1-1.
Southampton are at home to Newcastle and it’s looking like a long old season for Nigel Adkins. On the up side, the likelihood of him getting the bullet is very small. There’s no money and a team that have sadly been promoted beyond themselves. Pardew will be looking to cash in but Toon’s form is nothing to coo over. It’s a long coach ride back to Geordieland with anything less than 3 points. Prediction a coupon busting 2-1
Chelsea vs Man City and the generously proportioned waiter of Spanish decent will need a win or his own fans will tear him apart. Nice crowd. Family people. If your surname is Manson. The sad thing is I can see Chelsea wining this. The blue racists will as ever be wanting to show the world that the players call the shots and justify the bad mouthing that cost Bob Matthews his job. Prediction 3-1.
Tottingham and West Ham then. The hysteria from those who want AVB binned will reach a pitch that only dogs can hear if we don’t win this. A draw is unacceptable. To hell with having players. ‘Just get on with it and win, Mr Bean!’ God I’m sick of listening to the opinions of stupid people. If we don’t win I may make the next blog about this week’s Strictly Come Dancing. Prediction 2-1.

Sunderland meet West Brom.
Harry I think you were right the first time but it doesnt have to be tedious.It just seems that way because its in the cold north east.
An exciting 1-1 draw (well its warms up near the end)
Everton vs Norwich
So you are going for a tedious draw here Harry?
I think Everton at home,they will edge it by a goal 2-1
Manchester United
Its a rudderless ship that QPR and I would agree with you Harry except maybe Fergie has some thoughts for the old Man U man.Maybe they wont go to town on QPR just as much (3-0)
Stoke play Fulham and Wigan entertain Reading.
I can see Stoke and Fulham in a 1-1
but fancy Wigan clipping Reading 2-1
Aston Villa face Arsenal
Lat season we gave the arse back their mojo after playing them.All of a sudden they thought they were a team.We can do that to them.
Also that Cazorla could have been our best player.He certainly is theirs.
Bent or Shment doesnt matter but I agree the the shcore 1-4
Swansea vs Liverpool
Liverpool are strong now. The Suarez factor gets bigger and bigger.
1-2
Southampton are at home to Newcastle
A day in the south for the Geordies cant be bad
1-3
Chelsea vs Man City
Its a shame that the big news is the racism and the firing of a manager who pulled them together.
Why fire the bloke? Could have been offered No. 2again
Anyway this game will not be about that or racism.It will be about resolve and quality.
Its when Oscar and Hazard meet Silva and Aguero.
Torres might just save the day for Benitez and give him a welcoming present but really the amount of quality on the field is a thing to behold.
2-2
Tottingham and West Ham then.
There is no doubt in my mind about what you said Harry. But the only thing you might have got wrong is that if we lose it wont be just the extremists that will be calling for AVB’s head.
You might just be the lonely figure in the seats behind the goal waving your Boas.
Still cant see it coming to that. 3-1 for us (look even I have more confidence)

I can see Villa doing Arsenal this afternoon. They were 2-0 up against Utd and were holding their own at City until an outrageous penalty decision. Added to which Arsenal’s victory last week simply papered over the cracks. They’ll revert to type against a spirited Villa team this evening and we’ll go back above them when we beat West Ham tomorrow.

If we lose tomorrow, I think Levy’s two year pledge might come under serious strain. If we scrape an ugly, fortuitous draw, as is more likely, the moaning will continue and HH, having already mopped the bottom of the excuses bucket, may well have to keep his own pledge of blogging about Strictly instead.
But anyhow, it’s West Ham, under Fat Sam. They’ve not won owt at WHL for donkey’s years. They are a team of undistinguished hoofers and cloggers, we are a team of skilled footballing technicians managed by a tactical ninja in ginger, with injury issues now beginning to subside. I can’t really see a good reason why we don’t go out there and batter them mercilessly by at least one clear goal.

As a matter of fact, we now only have 3 injuries in the squad, which is near the lowest in the whole league. Would you not agree that it may be time to put these particular excuses to bed now?
[Reply]
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
I’ve got a better idea-let’s just play with 8 then-what you continually fail to understand is those players injured were all key players, and their absence alone has caused so many problems in terms of shape and balance-it’s not a numbers game LLL, it’s about a manager having the resources available to put his ideas (or lack of them),in place, and subsequently being judged on those performances-which although I’m bored to distraction and genuinely concerned as to the direction we’re currently going-I’m still hopeful something will begin to show the faith Levy’s put in AVB and his team.
ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
I don’t fail to understand anything Essex. You seem to think that we are a special case, a hard luck story, that no other team has suffered or is suffering ‘key’ injuries. I’d even dispute that these are all ‘key’ injuries anyway. Kaboul out, with 10 centrebacks or whatever on our books, is NOT a key injury. Parker out, with Sandro covering his position and our best player this season is NOT a key injury. Benny I agree, but we do have some cover and we had Rose but sent him on loan which looks silly now.
You can reserve judgement for a time when AVB has a completely untarnished squad to choose from if you really want. If this ever happens, it may be a week or so this season. I’d prefer to judge him on an ongoing basis and based on what he does with the resources available to him. The same way any other manager is judged.
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Don’t be so ridiculous LLL I don’t think we’re a special case at all-I’m just mindful that we’re in a position when we needed those players playing-having already lost so many in the summer who could have ‘done a job’ as opposed to playing an unfit TH and continually having to play a LB who is a right footer or the best CD we’ve got in LB because of injuries-Key players.. in key area’s–that’s my only point!
ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
But my point is, so what? This is part of the job. Nobody gets an injury free ride and we have a squad which is better equipped to adapt than most in the league. And also – this is precisely the kind of situation where good managers show their worth, not when we all give them a free pass to produce crap performance upon crap performance. Which is how it seems sometimes with some people.
BrizzleSpur Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 4:36 pm

Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
How on earth can it be better equipped? Hudd was getting shipped out for heavens sake and are you actually saying that losing those players meant that there should be no difference in team play or balance, because we’ve ‘like for like’ replacements? Nonsense LLL- quite simply nonsense

ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 5:18 pm
And also, instead of trying to pick one point to disagree with, why not tackle the main point which is that every team gets key injuries and their managers have to deal with it. And that your own personal judgement day – when we have zero injuries – may never even arrive.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but,
El has a really good point. It’s not as if we’re down to bare bones. We should be able to produce something better with what we’ve got/had over the last few weeks.
I can’t say for certain that this is down to AVB though. To do that at this point would be a tad presumptuous.
A midfield of Carrol,Sandro,Dembele is quite exciting though.
Essexian76 Reply:

ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
You’re the one going around in circles. I already answered you above. If you want to keep going in circles more and more you could ask yourself why we have ended up with a squad which is so poorly equipped to challenge – in your opinion – but then you won’t hear a bad word said about Levy or the transfer policy either. I suppose it’s a nice world to live in.
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
So that’s a yes then-Geeze I’m so glad you think that because I’m sure Dmebele won’t play as Hudds fit and raring to go-Gallas will remain in the CH position and so on and Benny may as well pack his bags because that left back position is filled with the right footed Naughton looking calm and assured…!
ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
FFS if AVB’s plans had all worked then we wouldn’t even have Hudd to fill Dembele’s boots.
I’m not saying for one moment that we have not had difficulties covering injured players. I am saying that we have a decent squad and we should have enough to beat teams like Norwich and Wigan. You disagree in which case it’s down, down, down for us if you are right. Might as well get ready for the championship now.
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 6:30 pm
The reason I won’t have a go at levy is even more simple-He’s done more than enough for the club in terms of finance and the running of the club to ensure a decent future-and most of all, because he’s not gone for the quick fix Leeds United or Liverpool of late to placate those like you who feel it’s the only way to do things-It’s not-and if you look down a few places in table-you’ll see a truly once great club in 14th position by adopting exactly that policy-you remarked earlier you’re glad you’re not a Chelsea supporter-I’d suggest you stop posting as though you were and understand more of what THFC are as a club and what exactly you’ve bought into when supporting it. We get our usual resident fool continually saying poor little Spurs only 36k etc- well guess what-we are poor in relation to those in the CL and furthermore only have 36k, anything above that has been raised by,…Daniel Levy of course
ELELEL Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 7:48 pm
You are making presumptions about my feelings about how Levy should run the club. I don’t suggest we do a Leeds. I suggest we have more than one striker when we start a season and we don’t sell our best players, make a profit, bank it and buy crap players to replace them on the cheap. Players which you then spend the rest of the season explaining aren’t good enough to fill the gaps in our team, which in turn gives the coach an excuse to continually serve up shit performances.
You are also basically calling me not a ‘real fan’ without using the term itself. And that, to me, is an own goal in any bickering session on here. I won’t even respond to your accusation that I should be a Chelsea supporter, it’s too pathetic a slight.
We are a poor little club who charge a close 2nd highest in ticket prices in the whole country. Yes, credit Levy with taking more money off the fans, raising revenue and turnover in the process. But give the fans some credit too, it’s their money he relies on to do this. Ultimately, you talk of doing things the ‘right way’. But isn’t it more the case that Levy is briefed to make Spurs an attractive, profitably company? To the extent that he is doing a good job of that, nobody can argue. To the extent that he has overseen the most unsuccessful footballing period in recent Spurs history, nobody can argue either. Not even you cos them’s the facts.
I think Levy is ‘alright’. He won’t be here forever. He has done some good stuff. He will do some more good stuff before he’s gone. But he has faults, and wilfully failing to recognize or acknowledge these is just peculiar in my books. Is he your Dad or something?
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
What we charge isn’t nowhere near enough to cover for the wages and transfers these ‘Super Player’s’ are asking for. Even Arsenal, who charge more than us, but have an extra 14k, per game cannot compete on level terms unless that rip up their policy. W
e had Oscar in the bag, until CFC ‘blew us out of the water’ and even Hazard admitted his choice was Spurs-so,but we simply couldn’t afford him and that’s the reality of thing-and we’ve got to understand that we’ve got limitations to what we’ve got and what we can afford-Bale’s longer contract isn’t for less money is it?-Ade’s wages are hardly minimum wage-and because we’re in for a player-you’re assuming the seller thinks ‘Oh, It’s Spurs-it’s a done deal then’
Essexian76 Reply:
November 24th, 2012 at 8:12 pm
You’re not really up with modern football are you?
Since the PL-how many times has the double been won?
How many different clubs have won it?
You see it’s all about money, lie it or not unless we get a mega-riche owner-we’re going to have to look at the problem with a different perspective. We either hope for a long term, roots and all change in direction, which involves a complete change in playing style, one that cannot be as the English gung ho, up and at ‘em-but technically more European, so that a wider range of players from the continent can fit the style.
One that involves home-grown, cheap young acquisitions and yes, buy cheap-sell dear gambles like Modric and Berbatov-unless you have any other suggestions?

Incidentally we’re not the 2nd highest-we’re 4th, and that’s only because our most expensive seat is 1,800 whereas our average is 795-not too short off Leeds United’s is it?

?? Calm down dear, it’s only a commercial.
Broadly speaking, it is indeed the fans money who support the club. You do realize that fans don’t only spend their money on tickets, right? They also spend it on sky subscriptions, replica kits and whatever else. I don’t have a breakdown of exactly what goes into what, but suffice to say if the fans did decide to stop attending en masse it would probably leave a sizeable dent in our revenue.
As for the cost of tickets etc, it must likely depend on which table you view your facts on. I looked at this one, if it’s wrong, please write in to them and complain. I’m not that interested.

HH stupid people want a manager sacked when were playing attractive stuff and competing then want to give a manager time when were as boring as the George Graham days and cant win for toffee.
But I’m sure you know that your blog occasionally shows you to be a man with wit and as someone else has already mentioned your playing the Adrain Durham method to get more hits on your blog, more power to you, its the fans that actually believe going backwards to go forwards makes sense that i feel for

And no I was not outraged an upset at trout face getting told to do one (but do respect some of our performances and league positions) and no I don’t hate avg and hope he can turn us into a force for decades.
You do have a blind hate for Trouty tho which detracts from some of you more cleverer soundings.
As for all spurs fans. I just want to see the support getting behind the team from the first whistle. No more silence followed by boos at half time. If we are shite and you want to boo save it until the final whistle.
My last random rant is to those that can’t watch a 90 minute game without going up and down buying pies bovril and having a pee all game. Fek off its 45 minutes a half ffs, eat before or after and p at half time if you can’t do 105 minutes between peeing.

It was food for his soul and he thrived on it.
If I was quiet and not saying anything ,he would say why are you quiet,and I would reply its because I dont want an arguement, His reply was yes you do or you wouldnt have said that.He is a Spurs fan I converted him from blue racists when he was little, Im wondering if his avataer is LLL /ELELEL

Bin thinking; the only 3 managers I can remember, who during my lifetime developed a Spurs squad which looked the part, not just in cups but in the league, were David Pleat, Very Terribles(ok, 3rd, one season) and Harry Reddies, all of whose tenures were cut short due to issues not directly involved with on field performances. Terribles, at the end of his most successful season, was favourite for the Engerland job but was passed over and didn’t even make the 3 man shortlist due to ‘doubts about his probity’ and was eventually let go by Sir(ly) Alan for ‘business dealings’ issues, the details of which never saw the light of day. The 3 best managers league wise we chose all had personal Achilles heels.
What is it with this club?

There isn’t a short or concise way of posting the trials and tribulations of the man-It’s really best to watch the program and judge for yourself-If anything It’ll make you a little more mindful of why we as club were so close to being almost in a Portsmouth position-that it still makes me shudder-and we still get posters on here saying spend, spend spend!
November 24th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
I’ve also been thinking as to why the PL cannot arrange the fixtures so that all teams competing in Europe, play against each other in the weekend fixtures where applicable-it seems a little unfair both Wigan and now West Ham have a weeks break when we’ve had to traipse across Europe and play a fixture only three days before. There are 7 teams, sometimes 8, so it’s a workable idea.

I Don’t disagree with that under normal circumstances, however we as a club are not currently able to field a side in Europe and the Prem and remain competitive in both-a point I made in August-HR got that 100% right last season as the Europa league should never take precedent over the PL in it’s current state. Quite frankly it’s just not worth the time and effort chasing it, let alone the potential for fatigue and the lack of financial incentive for doing well-If we go through there’s another possible 9 games-at a time when we really don’t need them clogging up the works

You’re right in that we don’t have the squad to perform well in both. But I don’t think HRs method was spot on. It made all the players that actually play it feel like they were just the deadweight being made to suffer it. I don’t think that breeds the mentality that a squad needs in order to succeed in any capacity.
I would be up for being out of it all together tbh, but to be in it and not give it any enthusiasm is a bit weak imo. Besides, we do have fans in Europe that probably appreciate the competition more than we do.
ATM it is a burden with key injuries and poor backup, but in general it’s a decent competition I think.
Essexian76 Reply:

I see your point but disagree, but it’s only opinion as I saw it as the emergence of Carroll, Hendricks, Kane etc, getting an opportunity they’d have to on loan to get, and more importantly to see the likes of GDS prove once and for all they were not good enough for us.

Looks like Moussaka will be involved after coming on in Rome, play Carroll AND Moussaka please. I want to see us playing passes, showing creativity. Play either of those behind J.D if we have to, do we even have enough forward to play 442 by the way? The club refer to ‘Dempseywood’ as a striker/midfielder. Call that a midfielder?? He must be a striker then… so we’re sorted, him and J.D in a two if we go 442 but that may mean not playing Carroll or Moussaka so it may have to be 1 up front then after all?

After reading this blog, it appears that LLL has issues… it’s like he asked avb out on a date and avb turned him down, now he is pissed and doesn’t know how to deal with the rejection. You offer ZERO logical arguments to your points, I’m sure Redknapp would love your input. Do you get your football knowledge from the derpdeedurr that is ADRIAN DURHAM.
I wish clueless windbags complaining about avb and thinking their FIFA 13 or football manager for pc or mac playing time qualifies them to do so, and keep the cry of 442 we need 442…442 this 442 that… Absolutely rubbish, would go support qpr! Or Stoke.
Man City, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Munich, Dortmund, all play 4-2-3-1, do those teams not play attacking football? They play it for good reason, it’s a base package that is all about transition and allows you to be far more flexible than just 442. Even Aston villa, Everton and west brom are starting to play it.
Loosing modric and not having a injury free dembele has hampered us. Bale and Defoe need service from the “Dembele/modric Role” with out it it is difficult.
It’s no coincodence we have won all games he (dembele) started for us. 12 games gone with a piss poor squad compared to Man U, Chelsea, man city and you expect him to pull miracles.
It’s not been a perfect start for AVB but to expect him to walk in and work miracles is as clueless
Seriously, go follow ‘arry to qpr, on your way take Dawson, Huddlestone and freezal with you for ‘arry. Get behind the team at the lane or stay home.

There is no point playing 442 without Adebayor, lets put that one to bed. However, as big a miss Dembele has obviously been ther is no excuse to play like that against Wigan at home or like that in Rome. They are poor team performances, end of. Although a playmaker is obviously important, the team should still be able to restrict the opposition to few chances and keep good possession with one important player out.
I am behind AVB but to expect people to not complain and be all patient when you are just not playing as a cohesive unit is a bit much to ask don’t you think? It’s a team sport, obviously quality players and creativity is important but the 11 that we can put out should be playing far better than they have for most of this season. The manager has to earn his wages and flippin’ sort it out, playmaker or no playmaker.
This isn’t about comparing AVB to Harry or any of that, it’s about the current manager and team, whoever it is getting results and playing to minimum expectations. Quite frankly we are for the most part still waiting for that to happen… Lets hope it does and quick.

The Cups are about the last game but the Premier League is a marathon. I don’t see what the fuss is about. If we win today we are equal with Arse who are the only club beside us who have the resources to keep at it for fourth come May. WBA and Everton will have niggling draws and strange losses that sap their league position. If we win against Westham we are even with Arsenal.
We may even creep up on Chelsea if they dip in the winter deluge of games as they get used to the tortured genius who is their new manager.
So really what is the fuss about? So far so good.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Rubberchops on his new appointment at QPR….
I really don’t know how I’m going to get through MOTD tonight without his wonderful words of wisdom……

Where’s the pre match prattle.
Want to get my AVB bashing and spice boy baiting in early.

Well recent history says Spam havn’t won at our place for 14-15 seasons or something.
Should be looking forward to a comfortable win.
I just have visions of Gallas throwing his arms up trying to allay blame for another defensive lapse.
Anyone else worried Carroll going to dominate our centre halfs.
Dam I need a performance to lift the gloom.

Big forwards trouble us. If Andy Carroll plays and Westham want it bad enough, combined with our Europa fatigue, they will make a game of it. I just cannot see them winning this. My logic says 50% Spurs win 25% draw and 25% ground out win. But my gut tells me Vertonghen has other ideas. We’ll win this one for sure.

The only thing that is sure about Spurs is that our results are unpredictable. 1-1

1-1 would be very predictable so we will either win or lose 3-0

3-1 to the Canning Towners….my mistake…Basildon mob…I fear it’s always darkest before the dawn ( TM no-one). And they will have a nice little sing-song about looking out for Italians carrying knives and assorted ditties regarding concentration camps…they crack me up that mob. I’ve always stuck them in the same box as Chelsea..I’m no lover of Arse*al but at least their lot have a modicum of respect..

Fcuk me, I was only joking about it last week. He is so ridiculous that you can’t even make jokes about him, they come true.

It’s almost impossible to predict a result today because we are now a totally unpredictable team. The main thing is playing like a confident unit and playing well, the result is almost secondary. If we nick a win and play like a disjointed, frightened rabble again it will only paper over the cracks.
I can see what AVB is trying to do, maybe he has the players, maybe he doesn’t but he surely has enough there to play as team?
The overall problem is Levy wants results but on a relatively tight budget. Given AVB’s best season was with a high quality Porto side that perhaps he’s been spoiled in the past?
He’s been given players to work with by the board basically, he needs to get the best out of them. Dempsey and Siggy were in great form in this league for their previous clubs, surely he has to utilise what he’s got a bit better? If Levy wanted someone to develop young players and work with less established stars, was he the right choice?
Dunno today, i hope 3-1 but fear 0-1. Team performance is the key today whatever the result.

AVB needs to start getting us playing as a team with some swagger, even those who think he can do no wrong must surely find that this is a worry being almost half way through the season.
I wouldn’t get too excited about January either, i can’t see whoever we bring in will make a massive impact given our spending power. Lets get the injured back and see how he gets on but remember, it’s a squad game and all teams have injuries. I want AVB to get us going but that doesn’t mean he’s untouchable. Come on tactical man, get your tactics out!!

Yes, but they are too cowardly to admit it.
