Slavia Prague Away: Four Injuries, Three Bad Bets And A Funeral


Good evening ladies... Prince Boateng, Michael Dawson, Gilberto and Badly Bandaged Boy Bale are all out.

My 'executive' (pfffffft) bets are as follows: Chinbonda Anytime Goalscorer @ 9/1, Spurs to Win With A Clean Sheet @ 21/10 and why not polish off your misguided treble with a Half Time Tottenham Winning 1-0 @ 12/5. Screw the mortage arrears on the word of serial loser, now...

The worst kept secret in footy is of course, my mate Al's ineligiblilty as his former club Rangers have stumbled into the UEFA Cup as a 3rd-placed finisher in the Champions League.
Alan's Fact Of The Day? Our hope for the future striker Tomas Pekhart travels. Both he and Radek Cerny, are former Slavia Prague players!

My squad is:

Cerny

Chimbonda, Kaboul, Huddlestone, Gunter

Lennon, Jenas Malbranque O'Hara,

Keane, Bent.

When we go in 1-0 at half time I want the lunatic Taarabt thrown in for good measure!
Funeral? Oh yeah, HH is being officially intered within the next few weeks. RIP.
This blog will be gone...
However... the brand new, all singing, all whoring awfulness of the new full website will be unleashed.
BIOYCRC!

Berbs and Woodgate to start instead of Bent and Hudd. Lets finish this tie tomorrow so we can rest the big guns next week for the FINAL.

Jesus Harry... no more blogspot? Please tell me we will be able to banter effectively with you on the new incarnation? As for your bets, they are probably as misguided as my 3-0 and 4-0 correct scores at a top priced 18-1 and 66-1 respectively LOL! Good luck ;-)

Cerny is on loan from Slavia Prague thus cannot play.

As Cerny is only on loan i presume he is cup tied, no?

Website says Cerny, (a former Slavia Prague player) is traveling with the squad.

I understand he was on the bench for last season's tie, so Cerny plays, loan or not.

Cerny can play

Anonymous said...

Cerny is only on loan but can still play against his 'parent' club. And if as expected, help knock them out!

But Hutton who we have BOUGHT, can't play, in any game at all, although neither he or his FORMER club have even played 1 game in this seasons Uefa cup?????

from what i seem to remember of such loans, theres a gentlemens agreement as to whether or not loan players can be fielded against their home sides.

we've had Cerny long enough for Slavia to not give a shit anyway and if it really was an issue they wouldn't waste a spot on the plane by letting him travel. simple as.

The Blog has been great, but as a few of the lads knew a month or three back, the new site is bloody well paid for an does need launching..

Continuity will be be maintained, as will the shoddyness...

Whats Gilberto's injury and i hope it isnt long term koz he's cover for bale this season and hes about 89 years old

Ok ok ok!! Ive had enough of this "ON LOAN/ONCE PLAYED FOR/ VISITED ONCE ON HOLIDAY/ONCE BANGED A BRASS DOWN AN ALLEY IN PRAGUE,, SO he cant play against that team or in that Cup game CRAP... FIFA are a fecking joke.. They move the goal posts then chnage rules when it suits the previous move... "BOLLOX" i say!!

Now wheres my passport????

"Get stripped Uncle your on."
(in spanish of course)

OUT ... WHOLLOP!!!

Lead and we shall follow, HH.

I'm worried about our reliance on Berbatov. We're absolutely rubbish without him playing from the start.

Harry, you 'died-in-the-wool' yid. The world could use a few more like you, that's for sure! If you do launch an new website, here's a suggestion: stop quoting that gooner Ray Davies on your site! You might as well be quoting Johny "I'll never forget winning the League at WHL" Rotten for all it's worth! What a Fonzie (aka Henry Winkler= the opposite of Harry)! Can't wait to see your new incarnation in cyberspace!

Anyone see the team coach arriving at the Prague hotel? Catch BMJ offloading the players kit bags. Good to see that the board are paying him for more than just gardening leave.

Errrrrr...No Woodgate or Berbatov ? You sure ??

now for some good news!!!

Spurs are 11th in the overall ranking (with a total income in 2006/07 of €153 million, just €4.5 million behind tenth placed Roma).
A ranking of 11th is our highest ever. In 2006/07 we climbed four places from 15th, the year before 13th, and the year before that 14th.
Of the top twenty clubs we have the smallest capacity. In fact, six of the clubs have a stadium with more than double the capacity of WHL.
We also struggle on the broadcasting front: placed 15 out of the 20 clubs in terms of broadcasting income last season.
When it comes to commercial revenue though (i.e. merchandising and sponsorship) we're looking good - out of the 20 sides we're ranked eighth.
We are the highest ranked team of those clubs that did not participate in last season's Champions League. Of the 20 clubs, 15 played in the Champions League and four started in the UEFA Cup. (The only other club was Juventus who were due to playing in the CL but got kicked out.)
Enough facts and figures.

Firstly, full credit to Levy and co for their commercial management of the club. Despite not being a Champions League side and despite the ground capacity constraints, we're punching above our weight financially.
COYS! :)

Shanemac You are so right. We really are far less of a threat without the Berb .

bueller said...

Shanemac, you are bang on. It's not even in terms of creating chances, even keeping possession high up the pitch we look awful without him. Ho hum.

Harry, can't wait to see the new site. Nice one, easily the best spurs site on the web.

BERBATOV

Created from Woody, really. Woodgate passes clean into midfield. Huddlestone to Jenas, the ball trickled out to Berba, central, just outside the box. Buries the ball with a clean strike into bottom left hand corner.

Class.
