Ok but just don't move into a remote commune with him. I went under cover once. Arragned to meet Gibbs in a public place. I recorded some of the conversation on my phone. Here's some of the transcript.

"Bring the whole family. There's just one rule though; Everyones wife is Gibbs' wife but Gibbs' wife is no ones wife but Gibbs'. trust ol' gibbsy"

I shit you not.

Eek

I really wish some people would sell everything they own and borrow themselves into a concrete overcoat if they fail, and then put their money, and their pet theories where their mouths are, by actually becoming a football coach (as they have obviously missed their calling), and put their bollocks on the line to show us what great coaches they are:hump:

Ah ok, I thought you were implying that Lennon was playing in the VDV role when he scored.

For what it's worth, ever since that 3-3 away to Chelsea in the FA cup (would've been a Spurs win had Berbatov and Lennon not been inexplicably replaced with Mido and Tainio) I've thought that Lennon could develop into a great spear at the head of a diamond, while his goal the other day reminded me of Iniesta (I am not saying Lennon is as good as Iniesta) so yes, I actually think Lennon in the hole would work pretty well.

Problem then is what to do with VDV I'm afraid.

Defoe will be back amongst the goals in no time, he needs better service than he got at the weekend though (although clearly he should have scored just before the break).

You may notice I zoom in on the negative.

That is what I do at work. I find faults in things and get paid for it. So I do earn money from negative things that come out of my mouth.

I have to tell scientists and electrical engineers they missed something.

I am not as clever as the scientists, just like I am not as knowledgeable as Redknapp. I just have a knack for spotting the rot in things.

And it's given me a wonderful lifestyle.

That is the beauty of my Crottenham lineup. He will be in his personal pref role. A creative attacking AM.

IMO he is better (long term) at that role than he is in the hole.

-------------D Bizzle---------------
---Bale---Modric------VDV--------

And one or two goes down, you have like for like replacements like GDS, Kranj, Lennon who can all be at home in a more attacking roles.

Take the shackles off the Lennons, the Bales and the Modrics...And let Palacios and Kaboul to tangle with the Cattermoles.

i wonder if Chelsea winning 4-0 at Bolton will force Levys hand?
We can live in hope i guess.

The slightly scary thing for me is that the weakest area of the team is that part of the team that HR has had most input in since joining, he signed 3 of our current poor 4. His signings aren't as prevalent in any other part of the team.

The table doesn't make pleasant viewing tonight.


“Suddenly, Spurs have got to be a Champions League team, but this side are not a million miles away from the team I took over who were fighting relegation,” said Redknapp.




Can't believe he forgot to mention how that team only had 2 points when he arrived

Looks like Chelsea have kicked off that 'champions run' so our best chance of a top-four finish is to win our game in hand and do 4 points better than Shiteh.....
