Spurs Balls: The Daily Mail Loves ‘Man’s Man’ Tim Sherwood
DOES the media love New Spurs manager Tim Sherwood?
Matt Barlow (Daily Mail):
“A wet and windy night at White Hart Lane was no place for the sharp suit and tie combo always favoured by AVB. Sherwood stayed true to his coaching status with a club tracksuit under a big blue bench coat and a pair of white trainers.”

Arsenal & Manchester United Balls: Wise Garth Crooks’ Puts His Champagne On Ice
GARTH Crooks, the most earnest man in sport, for whom every comment is weighed with the wisdom of Solomon and the pressed palms of a Saint contemplating the spiritual meaning of a John Terry header. And then he pauses. As if deep in thought. And then speaks slowly in short sentences, so that scribes may best be able to jot down his words exactly. He picks. His team. Of the week. For the BBC. It’s not a team, of course. It’s just XI names who have done well over the previous Premier League weekend. This week he made his choices.
Garth gaze upon Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey:
I don’t think there can be any greater accolade than when a former player acknowledges respect for his former club by not celebrating a goal.

Spurs Balls: AVB V Harry Redknapp’s Ghost Writer Martin Samuel And Neil Ashton
DOES Andre Villas-Boas read Anorak? Maybe. The Spurs manager used part of his post-match press conference to criticise Daily Mail journalist Neil Ashton. Following a lively 2-2 draw with Manchester United – in which Spurs gave away two soft goals – AVB eyed Aston. He said: “A couple of people insult my integrity, my human values, my professionalism and one of these people is sitting over here. It insults the success that I have achieved in other clubs and I don’t think it’s fair. I think it’s a lack of respect and an attack on a person’s integrity.”
Ashton asked what he though was “personal” about the recent criticism of his team.

Spurs Balls: Is Graeme Souness The World’s Worst Pundit?
GRAEME Souness is still talking about Spurs in his dire Sunday Times column. This is the same Souness who opined on August 31:
Spurs raise stakes and shame Wenger
WE HAVE had two ends of the spectrum on summer transfers over the past few months from Tottenham and Arsenal: how to do it and how not to. The difference could prove the key to deciding which of them finishes fourth this season to secure the coveted pathway to Champions League football.
He now writes:
Spurs must wish they could borrow some creative midfielders from Arsenal…
Andre Villas-Boas lacks such range and quality….
Their central midfielders are too similar…
And on he goes.until eventually he arrives at Manchester United:
If they want to see how quickly and simply a ball can be fed through midfield to make chances and goals, then I refer them to the masterclass Ryan Giggs gave against a woeful Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday…
You may recall that Souness used his expertise to tell us before United’s tonked Bayer 5-0:
“They will go to Germany with the mindset of not getting beat – and that’s a strange attitude for Manchester United because their approach under Sir Alex Ferguson was to try to win every game…”
He adds:
Would a 40-year-old get in Barcelona’s midfield? In Bayern Munich’s? In Real Madrid’s? No, no and no.
Is he saying those clubs are ageist because they don’t have the remarkable Giggs? Dunno. But soon he’s back to talking down Spurs:
Bale does get in Real’s midfield and he has a star quality Tottenham’s recruits don’t possess.
Or as he said at the season’s star:
…Spurs have raised the stakes with their signings and I think the challenge to finish fourth will be greater than it was last season.
Adding today:
Tottenham are not going to make fourth this time…
And asking, as all pundit must:
Are they stronger group than they were with Harry?
Spurs Balls: Harry Redknapp Never Did Know Madrid’s Mighty Gareth Bale
COMPARE and contrast the world of Gareth Bale, formerly of Spurs and now knocking them in for Real Madrid:
When the final whistle went Bale collected the match ball and took it to the centre circle, holding it aloft to salute the Madrid supporter. – Sunday Times, December 1, 2013
“He’s not an over-ambitious lad” – Harry Redknapp, June 9, 2013
”I think he’s a little bit young to go abroad. I doubt he’d find it easy” – David Pleat, July 30, 2013
“I don’t think Gareth Bale wants to leave yet – unless it was to one of the Manchester clubs. He’s had a new baby and I’m not sure if he’s ready for a move abroad. You have to be settled off the pitch before you get your form on it” – Glenn Hoddle, June 16, 2013

Spurs Balls: Robbie Savage Is Upset That AVB Is Not Harry Redknapp
AND on it goes, the daily tabloid grind blaming Andre Villas-Boas for not being Harry Redknapp, the great Spurs manger who won NOTHING at Spurs and presided over a spectacular Champions’ League collapse. Today Robbie Savage has to-deadline thoughts he wants to share with his Mirror readers:
Boring, boring Tottenham. There you go – someone needed to say it, so it might as well be me.
Actually, lots of Spurs face have been saying it. Maybe you’re just following them, Robbie?
If Andre Villas-Boas wants to know why his job suddenly came under such heavy scrutiny this week, it wasn’t just about the six-goal hammering Spurs took at Manchester City.

Spurs Balls: Selling Gareth Bale Sees Spurs Earn More Points Than Last Season
SPURS Balls: Helping us to decided which team is better than another are goals and league tables. Mindful of that we read Oliver Holt in the Daily Mirror:
“WHEN Gareth Bale was sold to Real Madrid for £86million, most people said it was a no-brainer. Tottenham had to take the money, they said. A few, including Gary Lineker, suggested it was never a good thing to sell your best player. Spurs’ current woes seem to be proving him right.”

Spurs Balls: Daily Mail Ignores The Facts To Slam AVB For Not Being Harry Redknapp
SPURS Watch, with Andre Villas-Boas. Today the Daily Mail’s Martin Samuel castigates the Tottenham manager: “What’s the beauty of being Villas-Boas? It’s always someone else’s fault”:
Andre Villas-Boas used to watch the game by crouching down on his haunches near the touchline. And then he stopped doing it. Isn’t that strange? People were making fun of him, but even so. If he thought it was the way to get the greatest insight, why would he change?
Sciatica? Getting older? Dunno. You, Martin?
Unless it was an affectation. A quirk, a gimmick to make him look brighter than he is.

Spurs Balls: Redknapp Is Confused Over Soldado And Doesn’t Read His Own Newspaper
COMPARE and contrast: Jamie Redknapp on Spurs’s new recruits:
JAMIE Redknapp in the Daily Mail: “Who chose the targets for the Bale money to be spent on? Roberto Soldado is another Jermain Defoe, Etienne Capoue is another Sandro, and do you need Lamela when you have Andros Townsend? Was it Andre Villas-Boas or was it director of football Franco Baldini?” – November 25, 2013
Maybe Jamie should read his own paper:

Arsenal Balls: Reasons Why Spurs Will Finish Above Arsenal (According To Experts)
THE Daily Arsenal: Spurs have been thrashed 6-0 by Manchester City. Arsenal are top of the Premier League. Let’s review what the experts said:
Gary Lineker: “I think they’ll probably finish above Arsenal. Well, the interesting thing is that normally clubs… if they sell a huge player, they always say, oh, we’ll spend the money, we’ll put it back in the team but they invariably don’t, whereas at least you can say for Spurs they’ve had a plan and they’ve spent that money – and they’ve spent it actually before they got it really – so I think actually they’ve bought pretty well on the whole.”
Harry Redknapp: “I wouldn’t compare the two squads. Tottenham are much stronger, no doubt. There’s no reason they can’t challenge to win the league. They can be bang there. They’ll finish top four and who knows where they could finish after that?”

Is Former Spurs Star Gareth Bale A Cheating Foreigner In Spain (Like Liverpool’s Luis Suarez Is In England)?
IS former Spurs Star Gareth Bale recapturing the form that made him a great in England? Yes. And no. He’s yet to score a stunning goal. But he is slipping around a little. Which makes us wonder: is the noble Briton now a cheating foreigner, like Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has been portrayed in England?
This is a snapshot of Bale reliving the glory days at White Hart Lane in Real Madrid’s match against Seville last night:

Spurs: Andros Townsend Earns Makes Manchester City’s Adebayor Look Even Luckier
ANDROS Townsend Watch: A look at the England’s new great hope.
The Mirror leads with news that the Spurs winger is on 16,000 a week. Every week. It choses to compare Townsend’s new wage packet not with that of a nurse or teacher but with Manu Adebyaor, the Spurs striker on £170,000-a-week. Darren Lewis writes:
Andros Townsend could yet become a target for rival clubs after Tottenham’s reward for his England heroics was a new four-year deal worth ‘just‘ £16,000 a week.

Spurs Monkey Balls: Mixed-Race Loveable Yido Andros Townsend Is Enslaved By The Ridiculous Society of Black Lawyers
COMMENT of the day comes Peter Herbert of an outfit known billed as the Society of Black Lawyers, a name that manages to be both sinister and laced with a pretentious Sixth formers ideas of grandeur. He wants to admonish the FA for Roy Hodgson’s monkey-laden England pep talk.
Roy Hodgson’s comments may not have been made with the intention of causing offence as he has explained with the backing of the FA, nonetheless, offence was caused,’ writes Herbert in a letter to the FA calling for a full and proper investigation.The FA’s statement also confirmed that they had not received any complaints from the England players and therefore the matter was closed. The comments of the FA smack of “institutional racism” bearing in mind the Lawrence Inquiry definition of “unwitting racism”.’

Arsenal’s Theo Walcott only needs to beat Spurs ‘superstar’ Theo Walcott to be a World Cup legend
HOW good has Spurs’ Andros Townsend become since he scored in England’s 4-1 win over Montenegro?
Tony Cascarino (Times):
I felt for Theo Walcott on Friday, sitting in a TV studio watching his replacement have a great game. Walcott would have wanted Andros Townsend to do well for England — just not too well! It’s a strange mix of feelings when you see your rival excel.
