| It’s a topsy-turvy world |
 I
WOULD have indulged in a spot of Gooner baiting this week.
Thing is, I couldn’t find any of the redcurrant-shirted blighters
to save my life.
It appears they’ve all gone to ground after that borefest condemned
their team to 10th place in the league on Sunday. Still, who can
blame ’em? It’s bad enough trudging to Village Idiot Central
at the best of times.
 But
heading all the way back to Hertfordshire having seen your team
lose a 10-year record, your manager a milestone match and your captain
his ‘big game’ credibility – all because of a comedy
goal worthy of a beer advert – now that has to hurt.
Although not as much as having a lesson in tackling by a top Premiership
side’s new midfield maestro.
So Edgar is a mere gimp-mask wearing pensioner who joined us because
he thought Spurs Lodge was a home for the elderly is he?
Well try telling that to Boro’s own pensioner, Ray Parlour.
Because while our elevation to the top of the table may be fleeting,
the sight of Ed showing the ex-Gooner who was the real granddaddy
on Saturday will remain with us all for years to come.
 IT’S
always good to see a north London team firing on all cylinders and
sitting pretty at the top of the league at the start of the new
season.
So well done Barnet for leading League Two – Division Four
to me – after the opening few matches.
 Did
you see what I did there?
The old switcheroo gag. Funny me.
You thought I was talking about Spurs, who celebrated wildly, almost
getting the open-top bus out, after somehow leading the Premiership
over the weekend.
Some Tottenham fans I know even took photos of the table as it appeared
on teletext as a souvenir of the brief moment their losers led the
pack.
That’ll be something to treasure when Tottenham finish ninth,
as they always do.
Arsenal were unlucky to land in ninth place after losing to long-ball
merchants Chelsea.
John Terry is going to injure his hamstring if he is asked to pump
forward any more 50-yard hopeful passes – Sol Campbell might
make the World Cup after all.
And although Arsenal didn’t win, the ‘small club with
money’ didn’t look all that either.
Don’t panic just yet. |
