Probably best to start by listing the preferences:

Football: Tottenham Hotspur, St Mirren, St Pauli, Fiorentina. No particular favourites in Spain, Portugal or France.

Politics: Well to the Left in all fairness.

Beer: Real Ale when its served correctly, craft beers, especially from Denmark.

Music: Massive Range. From Bowie to Mozart, New York Dolls to John Coltrane. Includes nearly everything bar X-Factor shite.





 Let the fun commence!!

My 100 Greatest Movies

My 100 Greatest Movies I used to love going to the cinema, but the truth is that now its a pretty rare occurrence. In fact, I'm struggling to remember my last visit. For quite some time I put this down having the Movie channel at home and like a lot of other things, the expense and the finding the time. The following is my list which I originally posted on a daily basis on Facebook back in 2013. It took me an age to compile, racking my memory, checking internet lists, going through my own DVD / BluRay collection etc. However, as we're now four years down the line I need to make the following points: (a) I've only seen one movie since that would trouble this list and that is 'Django Unchained' which I think would sit around half way (b) Despite the wailing and knashing of teeth described above I made an absolute glaring error and left out 'Withnail & I' which should really have been around about the Top Ten. Hopefully, you'll enjoy

Rolling Back The Years In Manchester

Back in 1989 I travelled to Old Trafford twice to watch Spurs. Amazingly,  we won both games, 3-0 in the League Cup and 1-0 in the old First Division with Gary Lineker scoring the winner with probably the only goal he ever scored from outside the box. What has this to do with Sunday's fixture you may ask? Well the United manager, plain Alex Ferguson as he was then, was under severe pressure. I can clearly remember the protests and the calls for Ferguson to be sacked. The United board held their nerve and then after the famous Mark Robins goal in the FA Cup, the rest is of course history. The reason  I mention this now is that there is literally no chance whatsoever of Eric Ten Hag rising from the ashes of Sundays defeat / performance in the same manner. I've seen enough Spurs managers come and go to know when a team has lost faith in what they're being told.  Enough of the opposition. Spurs were brilliant. To a man, absolutely superb. Even Timo Werner who missed his chances

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Harry Kane?

Image
So how do we solve this problem of rotating Harry Kane? Relevant points:- Spurs, like most clubs at this time, play more than one kind of tactical system but all involve only one centre forward. The main one we've got happens to be one of  Europe's best. Despite what the player himself says he obviously chases records which is allied to an insatiable appetite for goal scoring. He's the clubs highest paid player and quite rightly so although some fans  believe his contract says that if he wants to play, he plays. This suggestion really came to the fore during the FA Cup tie at Tranmere where he was brought on as a sub with 15 minutes remaining when we were already 6 nil up. The alternatives when Kane is unavailable or consents to being rested:- Given the above this makes recruitment of some genuine competition very difficult. That's without taking into account the clubs wage structure and doubts over how much money is available for new signings.
