HH:Billy, you're a Spurs fan. What happened there, mate? How did you get hooked?

BW:My family are all big spurs fans, and grew up about 300 yards from the ground. My dad even played for spurs when he was younger so there was only ever one team for me.

HH:If I had to push you for your fave all time Tottenham Player?

BW:Gascoigne - without doubt.

HH: Your first /or most memorable Spurs game?

BW:Has to be the 5-1 against Arsenal last year, as me and my agent watched it in an Irish Bar in New York, sitting next to the only 2 gooners out there! We went bananas at every goal that went in - surprised they didnt throw us out. First game was against coventry - we lost so not one to remember really.

HH: You've rubbed shoulders with some of the world's greatest footballers. What a job. But who'd be best to go for pints with?

But the good news is it's only their autographs...

Member 'COYS 245' bless, dares ask....

"I read in the Sunday press that Daniel Levy has agreed to a face to face meeting with members of THFC Supporters Trust this week, Wednesday.

If it is true, are any members of this site going to be present at this meeting or privvy to what is said in the meeting? Could you please let everyone on this site know what happenned, what was said.

Although in true Levy fashion I imagine everything he will say will be spin I would be very interested to hear what the little man has to say... Any news on this event will be greatly appreciated..."

Let me make my position perfectly clear. If Sol Campbell got hit by a bus tomorrow I wouldn't feel anything. He is, as they say, nothing to me. And I couldn't care less if he's gay, straight or Australian.

And so then to the 'The Sol Cambell Song' which I reproduce here, "Sol, Sol wherever you may be, not long now till lunacy, and we won't give a **** when you're hanging from a tree, you Judas **** with HIV".

Personally I go to games to cheer on our lot. I used to be bored by the 'Stand Up If You Hate Ar5ena1' chant. Now I'm embarrassed by it. When sung when we're not even playing them is an even more desperate reminder of how thin we are for songs. But anyway...

I don't sing the Sol song. It's a bloody angry bit of verse and as I said at the top of this, he's nothing to me now. But I don't sing it primarily because for all of it's venom, to me, the net result is to highlight a low in our Club's history. I'd rather get involved in something a bit more cheery, a little less grim of a Saturday afternoon.

Don't get me wrong. Barracking is good for the soul. Bellowing 'w*nker' repeatedly at one of their lot or the referee can be very theraputic. In fact, I'd recommed it.

The Sol Song. Is it racist? Based upon my own understanding of the Bible and it's tale of Judas combined with the fact that I wasn't raised in say, in the Deep South of the USA, to me it isn't. I'm not an apologist for this vicious bit of verse, just stating my personal opinion.

But we have had this hateful song doing the rounds now for what, seven years and what has it achieved? Well right now it has every bleeding heart in the media not to mention Hampshire Old Bill chasing our ambulance.

Brain Reade's sensationalist piece last week set the tone.

He was later joined by the ever outraged Peter 'F*ckwit' Tatchell in the Guardian.

Next on the scene was FA Chairman Lord Triesman.

Rio Ferdinand made an excellent statement in relation to the two bob fine Croatia got for the awful Heskey abuse. As a result of the 'renewed interest' in the Sol Campbell Song, Tottenham secured a mention in virtually all the coverage Rio got.   

It's time we moved on. Unless we lose this song, we are going to be mentioned in dispatches every time the race issue rears it's ugly head in football.

Let's play football and not into the hands of the politically correct.

The slow but steady influx of foriegn investors in English Premiership Clubs only to gathers momentum. Unless you happen to be a rejected, rotund retailer of course. Speculation that Tottenham would 'eventually' be sold to fabulously wealthy suitor has been doing the rounds for some time.  

The Guardian piece HERE is interesting. And in the words of The Wonder Pet's Ming Ming, I would suggest 'this is serious.'

Pini Zahavi is not your usual football agent and to confuse him as such would be a mistake.

His client list is impressive enough but it is the manner in which he conducts his business that separates him from what is generally acknowledged a pretty down at heel herd.

It was Zahavi was the man who organised Ferdinand to United. He put Defoe in Portsmouth. He brought Dos Santos to The Lane. But those are just a few notable player deals.

He was the man responsible for brokering the aqusitions of Chelsea FC by Abramovich and Portsmouth FC by Gaydamak.

His cultivation of relationships with some of the most improtant football people on the planet are well documented, but it is his constant presence as a vanguard of football business that puts him in a bracket of his own making. 

So who is Pini Zahavi? At times a controversal character. He was a broker for Media Sports Investment, the outfit behind the whole Tevez and Mascherano affair. He was also named in the Stephen's enquiry. But Zahavi would undoutedly argue when you're blazing a trail things happen to you and situations arise. If you want anonmity and peace don't become a king maker.

My conclusion is that if this guy is genuinely involved in any takeover discussions at Tottenham then this is real, this is happening and the as yet unnamed Asian billionaire would be an interesting prospect. I would say sound, but who can predict the future? 

Besides, anyone who described Ken Bates as 'a revolting character' can't be all bad.

Well let's face it there aren't any highlights to show you and even reports from those who actualy attended this afternoon's footballing feast are a barely issuing anything more profound than 'it was boring' or 'we're in trouble.' MOTD is only a few hours away and I'm not sure if I can survive the anticiption before we're inevitably served up as a three minute filler. The novelty... 'And finally...' item on John Craven's Newsround, anyone?

What more can I possibly do than offer up a snap that has comedy gold potential? Ramos is pictured with three arms, a man operating him from behind, he's wearing a Norman Wisdom suit and pulling a face that any cast member of On The Buses would have been proud of.

I'm off round Ashley's to buy some 8mm footage of Kemsley playing strip Jenga with the Cheeky Girls and John Leslie. 

Forget all the gloom and doom.

Well at least try and embrace the odd welcome distraction from it.

I'd say it's fair comment that some of the wit on here is pretty unrivaled on occasion.

Elsewhere... COYS is certainly one of the best Spurs forums. For no more reason that it has stealthily swerved so many know it alls that infest the net and worked very hard to cultivate a genuinely friendly atmosphere. These then are some fruits of their latest labours... Well done.

A good few emails in this morning in realtion to THIS from the Telegraph Online.

Sergie Rebrov an employee of THFC for some four years has passed on the benefit of his wisdom to young Roman Pavlyuchenko in relation to what he might expect in N17.

“A lot of dark-skinned people live there,” Rebrov said. “So naturally the crime rate is higher than anywhere  else. It’s not nice to be a robbery victim. So I suggest that Roman doesn’t walk but drives around that area.”

Race is a sensitive issue. More so perhaps since native citizens started blowing up Londoners. The immeadiate and arguably politically correct response to seeing his words is to bark RACIST!!! and demand... well. demand something or other. 

So let's look at what was actually said. No our gut response from speed reading the words. What was actually said.

"A lot of dark skinned people live there."

Not so, the breakdown is actually even across the ethinicities. 48.94% of the borough's population is from black and ethnic minority communities. This is only the 6th highest proportion in London. The top 5 are:

• Brent - 65.4%
• Newham - 63.9%
• Tower Hamlets - 52.4%
• Hackney - 51.6%
• Ealing - 50.1% (Source: 2001 Census).

"The crime rate is higher than anywhere else there."

Not strictly true, but in respect of certain crimes the Borough is Top of the Pops. Haringey currently boasts the highest number of Residential Burglaries and Personal Robberies of its seven surrounding boroughs. I appreciate his original comment had 'so' at the beginning but I am unable to locate statistics that breakdown the ethnicity of offenders. If anyone is able to expand on this with credible cources....

"It's not nice to be a robbery victim"

He's right it isn't and you can decrease the likelihood of being one by moving OUT of Haringey.

1804 Personal Robberies were reported.  This was 6% less (the largest improvement in London) than for the 2005/6 period, but still left Haringey with the highest number of personal robberies compared to its seven neighbouring boroughs for the period 2006/07.

"I suggest Roman drives not walks around that area"

Good call, Sergei. Whilst 'keeping moving' in Haringey doesn't make you immune to the bad people it does significantly reduce your chances of meeting them.

4,457 Motor Vehicle Crimes were reported in 2006/2007 reflecting a drop of 10.7% on the previous period. An improving average and there are now some 45 fewer offences per month.
