Half Century Round up

*Tips bat to the one man and dog gazing on in muted apathy*

That’s right, 50^th post, the half century. Thanks to those who’ve posted comments (Jimmy, mostly) so far and got involved over twitter, they make the company time I use to write this guff all the more justifiable.

Yet another Spurless weekend for us all to endure, but fear not, qualification to the quarters of the UCL means that from here on in, it’ll be Tottenham 3 times a week until the end of the season! What? International break? Oh f… Having had only one league fixture in March, Saturdays game against the Spammers at home represents the 2^nd and last of March’s domestic fixtures. An apology if this has been done elsewhere but even if it’s just for my own clarity, this is what April will look like:

2^nd April- Wigan (A)

5/6^th April- UCL QF 1^st leg

9^th April- Stoke (H)

12/13^th April- UCL QF 2^nd leg

17^th April- Man City (A)- Will have to be moved because of their FA Cup semi-final.

20^th April- Arse (H)

23^rd April- West Brom (H)

26/27^th April- UCL SF 1^st leg

30^th April- Chelski (A)

Yes, yes, perhaps the semi-final 1^st leg might never happen, but even without it, that’s a pretty busy month. Minimum of 4 home games means I’m going to be rather unpopular in the homestead as well, which is nice. What else does it mean? A lot of games really, and essential to get a few more bodies fit and ready in the mean time for what will be a tough final 6-8 weeks of the season. Word on the street (internet street) is that Thudd might be back in time for the QF 1st leg.

Here are some other things that might or might not be happening:

Champions League QF draw on Friday where we should find out we’re playing Barcelona at about 11:45. Them or Real would be my choice. Would have serious worries at the English ones, Shaktar or Bayern.

Defoe to City. Rubbish. They’re going to throw in Bellamy? Part-recycled rubbish. Honestly, who comes up with this ship?

Jens Lehmann returning to the goners (as I shall be referring to them for as long as we’re in Europe and they’re not) as cover for his old BFF Aluminium- A team that needs to baton down the hatches, re-group and re-focus if their season is to avoid being a complete disaster, perhaps the return of a semi-retired, psychologically questionable, superiority complexed half-wit, prone to Hulk-rage is possibly the best news we could hope for. Let’s pray this happens.

Dog Terry reinstated as England captain. If the question was: ‘What one measure would you need to take to lump further shame on our already tarnished reputation and alienate further a disillusioned England watching public?’, then this is the perfect answer. Spot on.

Crouchie and Abbey have had a baby girl. Aaaaaaaaaaah. The cuddly toy of this cynical news conveyor belt, not a dig about that questionable incident in Spain in sight. Not one. Although timing wise, I can imagine poor Abbey holding the test in one hand and copy of the Daily Star in the other.

I was tempted to look on newsnow for a bit more but caught a glimpse of a Huntelaar story and almost spontaniously combused and began bleeding from my ears. That’s yer lot.
