La Porte De Hull
Nessun maggior dolore
Che ricordarsi del tempo felice
Nella miseria.
There is no greater sorrow
Than to be mindful of the happy time
In misery.
You see the clip isn't entirely random. Shearsmith is a Hull boy. Having said that so was Norman Collier. But Wheel Tappers & Shunters is far too close to what we're producing on the pitch. Oh go on then, it's Saturday night and it's you... CLICKY.
The prospect of having the entire Dawson dynasty filling their coat pockets from the apres match buffet has some chatting amiably. But the out and out mediocre nature of our league results that this game is now about the bundle of nerves that Tottenham have become and if they can survive them.
For whatever reasons we failed to emerge from the debacle of the last transfer window with much dignity. And now you can forget any idle talk of the enemy within. The enemy is very much at the gates and our situation potentially so brittle that that Hull are as a good a genuine threat as anyone. Make no mistake.
Hull are ready and able. Their plan is to come here and not force a draw or nick it, but out play Spurs and win. Ask the mob at Woolwich if you think I'm too quick to stand on a chair, clutching my skirt and call 'mouse'.
King may even play a cameo part tomorrow. That's the word. Medical schmedical. Hutton we will miss more so than ever. Woodgate will need to marshall his remaining wards and be effective about it.
Dare I point out the obvious but we really do need to see some push and run tomorrow. I cannot ever recall having any class of conversation with a fellow fan where 'hoofing' was greeted with anything other than exasperation and eye rolling. Modric will need to play his part convincingly.
There are no cure for nerves. Not in the modern game. The trick of dropping a wee 'nip' in your tea before kick off doesn't really cut it these days, so we'll need to find our resolve from elsewhere. Maybe we can help.... CLICKY. Go on the Sugar!
So then, young Pavlyunchenko. Let's see some spirit son. And be it Bentley or be it Lennon, let's get some value out of those damn crosses.
Can we beat this lot?
Yes. Of course we can.
Will we?
See you ringside.

God we should be out enjoying ourselves HH; having a pint yet we're both online, probably casting one eye on Newsnow and the other on porn...
How dare you! ...Point out some home truths... 
We have started to get used to losing. need to break that habit very soon.
I wonder of Woodgate is going to bundle over their keeper every game? How daft is he? Good defender- but daft.

Aye, what the feck is he doing? Two yellow cards for nothing. Maybe all that hair is getting in his eyes?

..or so they say...
Thought Graham Roberts/Sir Alan Sugar on ss news/football focus made some good points earlier the players need to stand up and make an account for themselves they need to be told in no uncertain way to get on with the job they are paid hansomeley to do, so without going into a Joe Kinnear lets get it right this sunday and get the job done, Ramos will stay and do it his way, just like Frank S sang I did it my way, lets get behind the team tommorrow, no booing or lame chants, this is our team and i for one will be right f-ing behind them, my prediction 3.0 COYS!

I'll be there, pie in one hand, sweeties in the other waiting wit baited breath for our first win of the season. Don't care how we do it to be honest; even if the ball comes off Pavs left testicle into the net...
2-1 and a scrappy affair!
