In December 2003 Tottenham Hotspur announced that they were going to raise £15m through a share offer. Then they did something very funny – they told potential investors that the club was a good investment for despite having been knocked out of the diddly widdly cup early on, and not being in Europe, they were…
If you have never read it, and you like a spot of laughter, it is always worth taking a peek at page 338 on BBC Teletext. It is a summary, updated daily, of the madcap ramblings of a drunken bunch of nae’r do wells with nothing else to say (ie Fleet Street’s Finest). Each…
Mr Usmanov, the Russian billionaire who holds quite a lot of Arsenal shares but who seems to have stopped trying to buy the whole club has returned to his earlier lover of fencing. He has announced that once again he will contest the election to be president of the International Fencing Federation. If he were to win he could…

What a jolly day for news this is. Take that bunch of loveable rogues the Tiny Fantasits form White Hart Lane. On the last day of the last January transfer window they sign Gilberto from Hertha Berlin. He plays a couple of times in the space of a year, and after that the fantastic…
There is that thing that Sir Alex F Word does when his team plays badly – instead of considering the poor quality of the performance (as the Lord Wenger did openly and honestly after the defeat in Portugal) the manager of Manchester Bankrupts rails and rants about the referee. Since he refuses to be interviewed…
Police investigating the activities of Tottenham Hotspur supporters guilty of homophobic and racist chanting at Portsmouth have finally, after months of pressure from this and other blog sites, released pictures of 16 suspects today. That the event took place on 28 September and that only 16 of the hundreds – perhaps thousands – who joined…
The flavour of the week seems to be the consideration of fans’ behaviour. Following a second consecutive home game that ended 0-0 supporters of Liverpool Insolvents booed the team off the pitch. In the last couple of days there have been articles in the press about racist chanting at the Newcastle/Middlesboro game, a piece about…
