Wilson, Jenas and Shifty Looking Robots

bukowski Buenos días. Rest assured an all-you-can-eat-buffet of Euro themed natter will hit the airwaves shortly. In the meantime, though, to keep you from chewing on your fist in wait of the terribly exciting main course, some bite-sized chunks of gallimaufry and general Hotspur miscellany. Or just lots of hot air, depending on where you’re sitting…

On with the show.

A none too bad weekend, then. Fulham away- a notoriously tricky date on the calendar- tip-toed passed with all three points and ascent up the table assured. Joint third. Gridlocked with United and Arsenal. One or two puzzling looks in the manner in which we did so- even Huddlestone’s celebration had the whiff of incredulity about it- but probably just about deserved in light of a good afternoon’s work. Lennon’s shift was encouraging. More willing to bomb full-whack at defenders, rather than the tentative take-at-a-touch-cut-in-side-pass we’ve seen in recent outings. He’ll be hog-roasting full-backs with the best of ‘em in no time. I’m sure of that. One of our forwards scored too. Then I had a nosebleed.

Elsewhere, just in time for the trip to Milan, the boy Jenas has been telling Sky Sports how he managed to fend off the advances of José Mourinho a few summers back. A dynamo in the coach’s Fantasy team, it took all Jermain’s cunning to persuade him he wasn’t the man for the job. Like pretending to be not very good at football. Or sitting on the bench in his trainers and praying to high heaven the nasty rumours went away. It would explain a few things. He’s just pretending. Right?

Wiiiiiiiilson. Wilson Palacios, that is. Remember him? A sighting of him may be as rare as an ivory-billled woodpecker these days, but judging by this footage, the fire still burns bright with this one. The hundingiest of humdingers you’ll see for a while.

Tally-ho, Inter hustle to follow. Peace be with you.

**By unpopular demand there’s now a robot on your screen. Don’t be alarmed. He’s got plenty of other expressions and a whole wardrobe of comedy hats, moustaches and fashionable eye-wear that he’ll be throwing on over the course of the season. Who knows, you may well grow to like him. Or at least tolerate. The same way you might a shifty looking toaster. **
