lets-do-nothing

I suppose it’s indicative of our nature as impatient, thrill-seeking bipeds, but you almost wish the summer window would play out like it did in the Ramos era. You remember- when players trundled in and out of White Hart Lane like an overcapacity nightclub with a strict one in/ three out policy? Modric, Gomes, Pavlyuchenko, Bentley, all coming one way; half the population of North London going t’other. Sure, the net result was one of disorder, confusion and widespread meltdown, but at least we weren’t twiddling our thumbs with the same fervour as we are currently. At this rate, we’ll all have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome before July’s through.

The daily rags seem to have given up on us, too. Instead they’ve taken to bottling last month’s buzz regarding Joe Cole, Forlan and Arda Turan. All of which are no closer to being true as they were then; bar the odd gush from ‘Arry, telling the world and his dog what a fantastic player such and such is before returning to the driving-range to shank another ball in the river. Nothing concrete. Just Redknapp letting us know he’s still with us. Add that to the fact Forlan has come out publicly to deny any such talk of him returning to the EPL, and it looks as if we might have to wait a little while longer before this close-season even so much as twitches.

Still no sight, either, of next term’s new clobber. All the internet leakage of that retro number we saw earlier in the year has neither been denied nor confirmed. There’s rumour of a multiple sponsor deal afoot- one which has Daniel Levy written all over it. Although, hopefully not his actual name written all over it. Or his face for that matter. I vote we just put all our efforts into securing the Findus Crispy Pancake deal and be done with it. Cheese and ham for the home, minced beef for away.

Or maybe just get Facebook to sponsor us.
