For Those of You Watching in Black and White…

images. hughAhoy there. In a week which has seen both our glorious leader have a straightforward confectionary run cost him the contents of his pockets in Madrid, Pele back the move to Stratford and Jonathan Woodgate being talked up for a hop across town to our odious neighbours, it’s probably just as well some actual football is being played this afternoon to take our mind off things. It’s been a troubling few days for the men of Hotspur. And still no sign of this blasted new striker, either. Hardly surprising, I guess. Even a scouting mission these days ends up with our man being mugged by the locals. That’s before we’ve even discussed his farcical wage demands. See what I did there?

The Barcodes are Carroll-less again. For us another chance missed to see what all the fuss is about. The conspiracy theorist in me says the Geordie buck just doesn’t fancy playing us. For the fear of being found out as just another meat and potatoes striker all dolled up with a luxury pony-tail. A brick-layer Baggio. The other part of me says he’s got a thigh train and he is actually very good after all. Leon Best will start, then.

BAE is a doubt. All will become clear in a matter of minutes. The smart money would have Pienaar in from the start with Bale at left-back. With the onus on the Welshman starting his runs from deep and gradually hitting warp speed by the time he’s reached the opposition box. We’ll call it the slingshot and they won’t know what the blazes has hit them. Recognise.
