Meanwhile, Scotty Parker was second only to Redknapp as national hero in waiting. The best holding midfielder in the country, Parker was a must for the national side's armbard - even though he wasn't captain at West Ham and isn't Tottenham's skipper either.
How things have changed! I have insisted all along that Parker only looked good because he was in a successful team. With Bale, Modric, Van der Vaart and Adebayoor buzzing, any plank could look half decent holding. And Parker isn't a plank, he's a decent enough holding midfielder. The trouble is, decent isn't good enough when you come up against the best. So Parker was exposed by Arsenal, exposed by Holland, and was even found wanting against Everton when paired with another mediocre centre midfielder, Sandro. It was like the Parker Behrami combination at West Ham - graft and commitment but no guile or creativity! How many goals has Scotty scored in a Spurs shirt? None. How many assists? One so far!
And now Arsenal have closed up on Tottenham's shoulder, and are just one point behind. And the momentum is with the Gunners. Suddenly Modric and Bale might be thinking about moving on to find Champions League football, especially with Chelsea finding some form again.
Poor 'Arry, he may be seeing his Champions League dream slip away as quickly as his chances of managing England. And Scotty's looking bemused, wondering how and why it has all gone so wrong. The answer, of course, is the injury to Van der Vaart. He is the real genius in the Tottenham team, closely followed by Modric and Bale; Scotty has simply taken a ride on their coat tails!

Stani - the gap is closing, you're only 44 points adrift of top spot in the Fantasy league - make sure you take the Millwall.
Yeah...it was a little bit previous of some Spurs fans believing it was all done-and-dusted.
It is not previous, at all, of you to imagine that Spurs will be reduced to a Europa league place
:-I
What a sad attempt to wind up spurs fans, but I suppose when your team is West Ham, there isn't much you can say about anything is there ..........!?
"... especially with Chelsea finding some form again."
Is this the Chelsea team that in the last four weeks has lost to West Brom, Everton and Napoli?
Hahaa, cheers Anonymous 2335. I'm trying but it seems his experience from last season may just help him pip me to the post. Although I bet HF would love to be in my position, right up a Millwall fan's behind!
IRONS!!!!
03:02 IRONS indeed Stani, don't worry Stani - you're gaining on him each week - he's run out of puff - I note that HF is currently up Turds Out! / Zolas Zelots behind. I'm sure he's enjoying that experience.
HF Factoid #5:
It is rumoured that HF once tried to create the perfect pet by cross breeding a chickin and a camel. The result was messy, but did give HF the chance to stand in his evil lab screaming "ITS ALIVE"
Sad attempt to wind up Sp*ds you're kidding winding up Sp*ds is easier than winding up a clock,a digital clock
