Well, the big news this morning is that new Spurs boss Jaques Cuntini is a cunt. Having moulded a squad of exceptionally talented French players into a plodding, unflushable log of shite in Euro 2004, he took it upon himself to reveal that Robert Pires and Thierry Henry had a training ground bust-up. Yet another attempt to deflect attention from his poor management and it’s almost Hoddle-esque the way he’s brought to light things that should stay private. He’s even hinted that because training sessions had to be controlled more closely France lost the competitive edge that might have won them the tournament. Have you ever heard such bollocks in all your life? This is from a man who, man for man, had the most talented and experienced squad in Euro 2004, yet was unable to get them playing anything approaching good football. He’s a spoofer, a chancer and a coward, trying to save face by blaming others, and who better for the new Spurs manager to blame than two Arsenal players?
Before Euro 2004 Spurs fans were crowing about their new manager. It now turns out the bloke can’t speak any English, his teams play shite football, he has no loyalty to his players, his eyes are bogglier than Houllier’s, and he doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. A perfect fit for Tottenham then.
In other news, PSG are after Igors Stepanovs, we’re chasing young Parma striker Franceso Lupoli (a deal which has already been completed, I’m told), and Kanu has got married as this rather strange piece reveals.
Greece won Euro 2004 then. Good for them. They reminded me of George Graham’s Arsenal and they made little Ronaldo cry. Can’t ask for much more than that. All in all though it was a pretty poor tournament and more proof that international football is second rate.
How was your weekend then?
