From the Independent:
“Tottenham Hotspur are prepared to test Owen Hargreaves’ claim that he can play 40 games a season again by giving the former England midfielder a medical test this week as they investigate the possibility of taking on the injury-racked midfielder.”
More ‘Arry Madness or Doktor Levy absolutely refusing to spend more money than absolutely neccessary on a manager that has no future at Spurs? People have already pointed out that with the new 25 man squad rule, it’s increasingly difficult to justify having sicknote squad players, like Wenger is finding out. Fergie basically made a choice of ditching one of the Owens, and he chose Hargreaves. Given the amount of patience Manyoo has shown him, if Fergie was in the slightest bit convinced Hargreaves would find a semblance of fitness he would have kept everyone’s favorite Jon Snow lookalike. (Heck, Berbatov is now behind Rooney, Hernandez and Wellbeck in the pecking order and at a pinch they could probably use Young if neccessary.)
So what else can anyone say about the damn Arse v Mancs game that hasn’t been hashed out in excruciating detail? Still, let’s give this a shot….ten things that come to mind…
I am a servant of the game. I want to do well for the game I love and the football I love. My obsession is not whether people say I am great or not. My ‘project’ with my young players is an obsession.
This is pretty much his one-man war with the current state of football, especially the English club variant where billionaire owners running their clubs like playthings. Like he admits, it’s an obsession with him and there’s very little doubt he’ll ever change with his double-or-nothing management style while he still runs things at Arsenal. So short of sacking him and/or him leaving on his volition (and foregoing that severance payoff), Arse fans should get used to it. Heck, it’s been six years so they should have plenty of practice.
Spotted on the Grauniad:
“I’d h8-2 be an Arsenal fan right now.”
People have died for less innocuous linguistic sins.
To follow up on the Adebayor goofiness, Spurs fans find themselves in a busy quandary having to amend THAT elephant song they sing about him due to his Arse affliation. Some of the..erm, suggestions so far for newer editions:
Adebayor, Adebayoooor
Your dads an accountant,
Your mum studies law
Adebayor, Adebayor
If you get on a bus with him,
stay near the door
Adebayor, Adebayor,
your parents are ok
as long as you score
Adebayor, Adebayooor
He’s seen Arsene Wenger
Touch Wilshere’s back dooooor!
Adebayor, Adebayoooooor,
your dad watches elephant….
documentaries on ITV4
His dad heals sick elephants,
And his mum’s got a new job
Adebayor
Adebayor
He stamped a rapist
And slid on the floor
Adebayor,
Adebayooooo-or,
We’ll wash the elephant
As long as you score
Adebayoooor, Adebayooooor
He scores for Spurs
and gets paid by Mansooooour
I must confess I haven’t seen this before today. Very good come hither vibe you’re emitting there, Ade. This is not the first time he’s tried moonlighting as a comedian too. It just reminds me of the PROPER AMOUNT OF SUCTION™ Dyson commercial Craig Ferguson gets endless delight from.
