Reflections Through a Pub Window.

The London Marathon has been run and won. So too in all but three games has our season. In actuality it ended after our fill in left back missed that penalty versus PSV. No offence Pascal. Since then motivation at Spurs has been as rare as Arsenal wins. Not all wrist slashing stuff then.

A quick look at the headlines most recent probably sums it up ...

Newcastle At The Lane ; Nigella Lawson To Sign For Spurs.

Was it something they ate at half time. Tea and scones,surely lasagna is off the menu. "Flat" was how the Sky man described Spurs immediately after re-emerging following a fair first half. The Spurs soufflesubsided quickly and embarrassingly. Long time since the ground emptied so noticeably after the 80 minutes expired.

Our Pub think the addition of Nigella to the half time team talk would ofat least provided a spark of imagination to an otherwise visibly tiring seasons recipe.

Blackburn Away : Why Would You Bother.

Congratulations to the Faithful who travelled. Rewarded with solid Lancashire Pudding style fare from Spurs. Another "if only" after scoring first and failing to deliver the killer blow. As a measuring stick not a lot between the teams but given the motivation with Rovers then Spurs certainly ahead on the developmental ladder. For the moment at least.

MiddleBoring at The Lane.

Another outing at Chez Lane where Nigellas magic at half time would have been more than desirable. A bright first half followed by a near gastronomical football catastrophe .When time was called by Maitre De Ramos for Waiters Lennon and Malbranque, the fare thereafter decendedinto something approaching leftover dross. Fair dinkum our Mine Hostchoked on his pint and went on gardening leave pending developments as President of the T.H.Fan C. Okay Fabregasp over the way is tiring visibly too but our Pub is sadly inclined to a "jury is still out" regards young Huddlestone. Some say a little like the proverbial Chairmans vote of confidence in his manager.
