Salonik Irrigation: ‘Arry Filters Out Stars For Trip To Greece
Morning, saucepots. I shan’t keep you long. Spurs are on Europa League duties this evening and Greece is very much the word on everyone’s lips. And here’re some more words to get your noise holes around. Panthessaloníkios Athlitikós Ómilos Konstantinoupolitón FC. The Hellenistic herberts that stand betwixt us and three points that might prove terribly handy in the months to follow.
Agree or not, I’m of the opinion we should be having a ruddy good stab at this. While there’s every reason to believe relative success on the continent might have a damaging effect on our League form- with all this Thursday night/Sunday afternoon jazz- you just can’t say ‘no thanks’ to the prospect of sticking a sparkly bit of tin in the cabinet. Let me recite some names for you. Radamel Falcao, Diego Forlan, Sergio Aguero. All big shakers in the world of football right now, I’m sure you’d agree. Now how many of them do you think look at their Europa League winners’ medals and think well this isn’t up to much. How many of them do you think turned their noses up at the chance to bask in the rays of some good old-timey glory? None would be your answer.
Moreover, If I remember correctly, after beating Fulham, messrs Aguero and Forlan actually looked quite pleased to be getting their mitts on some silverware. And so should they have been.
Winning things- and this might shock you- can be good. I think we could try it.
Right, come on you Spurs and all that. Let’s finish off with another list of names:
Gomes, Cudicini, Archer, Bassong, Corluka, Walker, Waller-Lassen, Livermore, Townsend, Fredericks, Carroll, Nicholson, Parrett, Pavlyuchenko, Dos Santos, Falque, Kane, Lancaster, Pritchard.
Oh I bloody give up.
