Speaking of heart troubles:

Can anyone decipher that svp?

 

[London_Calling]

The heart issue itself sounds straight forward. It's also been the cause of insufficient blood getting to his brain, although tests suggest it hasn't caused long term damage. Hell of a translation though.

 

[London_Calling]

I've had a guess at nine who may start, it's tail on the donkey time for the others - the fulls backs, possibly:

Provisional squad: Gomes, Cudicini, Gallas, Bassong, Waller-Lassen, Stewart, Barthram, Livermore, Townsend, Pienaar, Fredericks, Carroll, Nicholson, Parrett, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, Falque, Kane, Lancaster, Pritchard.

 

[kained&able]

jesus you are actually down to the bare bones for once.

[London_Calling]

Can't say I saw it, sounds like a 1-0 hiding. Group winner will now presumably be decided on goal difference.

 

[chieftain]

Happy birthday Nayim. Saint Nayim is 45 today and always fondly remembered for that goal from the halfway line!!

 

[London_Calling]

Blimey, that was a while ago now.

Anyway, a potential cracker of a game today. If Gallas and Ledley are both fit - as seems likely - it'll be interesting to see the preferred partnership. I don't know how you leave out the BFG.

So either 10 or 11 changes from Thursday, and 'arry apparently resting up at home on Sandbanks. He'll be on the phone for half time...

 

[ska invita]

anyone have a stream for the game today?
ETA: was struggling to remember the site i usually use, but its come back to me - ilemi.com
ETA2: seems to be killed off
ETA3: changed to ilemi.eu

 

[xes]

fsicrew usually has a nice collection of links

 

[xes]

talk about going to fucking pieces

 

[xes]

well thank fuck for that, cracking last minute goal for Defoe

 

[TruXta]

Pretty mental last 10 mins, you should've had a peno, the same for Fulham.

 

[Badgers]

Blimey, how did Fulham let that go

 

[London_Calling]

Only 20 shots on target for Fulham. Tottenham had 8. Also, 11 corners vs. 1. The phrase 'smash and grab' comes to mind...

Jordan/Bond out!

 

[Corax]

As a Spurs fan, that was a big bag of lulz.

I think I may be a wee bit less amused if I supported Fulham.

 

[London_Calling]

Away at Citeh, away at Man Utd, home to Chelsea - Newcastle's next three.

Unless things go disappointingly awry, we really should be no lower than 4th going into December. Possibly with a bit of a gap.... that's the theory

And then home to Chelsea three days before Christmas should be very interesting.

I wonder which of the 14 Levy's got 'interesting' pictures of?

 

[London_Calling]

I'd imagine the 'consultancy' payment made to Dionne Knight by Wet Sham might have encouraged this. Dionne Knight being an executive of the OPLC and in a live-in relationship with Wet Sham chief executive Ian Tompkins. All above board I'm sure, but no harm in having a look....

I should think its all of the ones who attended public school.

Its been denied pretty strongly by Levy and the board but who really knows.

Its a mucky old game, as I'm sure Alisher Usmanov would agree

An arrest suggests there's harm.

 

[Corax]

An arrest suggests there's harm.

Not very strongly though. I got arrested for being assaulted once. Loads of people were arrested for sitting down in F&M.

 

[tommers]

They've got to arrest you to talk to you.

 

[chieftain]

They've got to arrest you to talk to you.

West Ham have a corporate sponsored cell at most Nicks

Thank FUCKing Christ:

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp faces January trial over tax charges

The indictment laid down by prosecutors states: "Mandaric and Redknapp, between 1 April 2002 and 28 November 2007, with intent to defraud and to the prejudice of HM Revenue and Customs, arranged for $145,000, paid by Mandaric as a result of or in connection with Redknapp's employment and as a reward for services, to be transferred to a Monaco bank account opened by Redknapp for that purpose, in order to conceal the said emolument from HM Revenue and Customs and evade the payment of income tax and national insurance contributions thereon (whether by the operation of PAYE by the club or otherwise)."

As for count two, the indictment states: "Mandaric and Redknapp between 1 May 2004 and 28 November 2007, with intent to defraud and to the prejudice of HM Revenue and Customs, arranged for $150,000, paid by Mandaric as a result of or in connection with Redknapp's employment and as a reward for services, to be transferred to a Monaco bank account opened by Redknapp for that purpose, in order to conceal the said employment income from HM Revenue and Customs and evade the payment of income tax and national insurance contributions thereon (whether by the operation of PAYE by the club or otherwise)."

The pair will fight the charges in a trial scheduled to last two weeks.

This is clearly not a man who could be considered suitable to manage the England national team. EVAH (!!1!)*. Where do I sign for jury service?

* view subject to conviction.

 

[hamix]

are Spurs still moving ground? i'm looking forward to Stratford Hotspur vs. Arsenal in 2020 or so. lol...

 

[London_Calling]

Yes and no. lol...

 

[Refused as fuck]

So i'm guessing the bungs won't be going to agents this coming january transfer window.
