Spurs fan: “I wish my club could be more like yours”
Add comment October 26th, 2007
Last night, as the reality of more than half a season without a proper manager dawned on Spurs fans across the planet (and almost certainly in the depths of Hell), I recieved a text message from a Spud-supporting friend of mine:
The way our club’s board have behaved this season is an utter disgrace. Sometimes I wish our club could be more like yours.
They’ve cracked. The final crumb of dignity has been wiped from Tottenham’s table, and now one of their fans has gone and committed the greatest sin in their oh-so-dirty rulebook: admitting their inferiority.
(Granted, he didn’t know I’d then publish it for the eyes of thousands, but that really is his problem now.)
Stan Kroenke is playing it cool over what he calls his “long-term” investment in Arsenal. However, I’m not sure what I make of his latest newfangle scheme:
“It would be great to have Arsenal play in America and there’s a reasonable chance it could take place. If the Premier League agreed to it, you’d have it done.”
Somehow, I can’t see Arsene agreeing to fly half way round the world to play a Premier League game when he could just as easily do it halfway round the M25.
You’ll notice I haven’t spoken much about the latest blows being traded between Arsene Wenger, Jens Lehmann, and Manuel Almunia. That’s because as far as I’m concerned, the case is closed on Jens: he’s going in January. Almunia is the new number one, and Fabianski will challenge him in the coming seasons.
Ahead of Sunday’s game with Liverpool there is no new injury news. In cases such as these, no news is very much good news.
What will today bring? I don’t know. Ask me tomorrow.
