DEAR Tottenham Hotspur, What are you doing?

I know Harry’s a genius, but it doesn’t take a genius to understand you don’t play your best players out of position.

As quiet as it’s kept, the red shadow that’s been looming over us since the Premier League’s inception has again raised its ugly head.

Could we not go back to our early-season, marauding, selves with Gareth bombing down the left while Luka orchestrates through the middle?

And Harry: if you could let us know one way or another about the England job?

It would go a long way to reviving the morale of a team that’s obviously suffering from the speculation: and the support of a fan base that are afflicted with Gooner insolence.

Also, you know how we love Ledley, “he’s only got one knee, he’s better than John Terry“. But don’t you think it’s time to take him out of the firing line before he really does become a shadow of his former self?

Harry you looked perturbed in your post -match interview on Saturday.

It’s the first time I’ve seen you like that.

What’s up?

However, upset as I am, I’m not a commentator who panics or feels like self-harming when we lose. Neither will I criticise harshly, a manager who just three seasons ago took us out of the tempestuous lower echelons of the Premier League.

So, if you could fix all the above for me I’d be truly grateful. Yours, tony dallas
