World Cup Draw

I've just had the non-pleasure of watching the World Cup Draw fiasco. Did the organisers hire the EuroVision management team to put this together? If it wasn't Charlize Theron looking like a witless twit, it was some other joker speaking out of tune without his mic on.

Anyway, England will be in the same group as the USA, Algeria and Slovenia. Nice and easy then...

Here are the groups.

Group A
South Africa
Mexico
Uruguay
France


Group B
Argentina
Nigeria
Republic of Korea
Greece


Group C
England
USA
Algeria
Slovenia


Group D
Germany
Australia
Ghana
Serbia


Group E
Holland
Japan
Cameroon
Denmark


Group F
Italy
New Zealand
Paraguay
Slovakia


Group G
Brazil
North Korea
Ivory Coast
Portugal


Group H
Spain
Honduras
Chile
Switzerland


Group G will be the one to watch. Talk about difficult!

World Cup Draw

Manchester City to get into the top 4? Don't make me laugh

I've just had the pleasure of watching Manchester City draw for a 7th consecutive time at home to Hull.

Is this the Manchester City that is supposed to throw Liverpool or Arsenal out of the top four? You're joking, right? If they continue playing as they have done, there's not a glimmer of hope that this side will finish anywhere near the top four, let alone in it.

Hat's off to Hull though. Phil Brown has got them playing, but it's no coincidence that the Tigers have started to climb the table upon the return of Jimmy Bullard. He was fantastic today and ran the show. Has anyone seen Phil Brown's ear-piece? It's gone missing, along with his sides bad form.

Watch his penalty celebration on Match of the Day tonight. Classic!

Well done to Wigan to. They beat Sunderland 1-0, getting a clean-sheet and showing the footballing world that Martinez isn't such a bad coach after all.

Results have spun Tottenham's way. Let's hope we can win up at Villa Park. Carlos will be at the game, tweeting away. So if you haven't done so yet, get yourself a Twitter account and follow us.

COYS!!!

Our Board is Confident

It was good to hear that our board have submitted our proposed new stadium within London's host application of stadia for the 2018 World Cup bid.

Some may see this as a good sign in relation to our new stadium submission plans being accepted by Haringey Council.

Let's face it; the Tottenham area is in need of some sort of regeneration project. The area around the ground is crying out for it and so the rumours of the plans being fast-tracked through the system, don't seem far off the mark.

As regards the World Cup bid, do you think we stand a chance of winning? When I look back at the successful Olympic bid, I remember Seb Coe being brought in as the knight in shining armour. Who do we have? David Maxim Triesman.

He's not exactly the most marketable character around. Fair enough, he's a Spurs fan, but that won't win us the bid.

Who will be the bid's knight in shining armour? David Beckham? Gary Lineker? Whoever it will be, they'll have a lot of responsibility cast on their shoulders. From what I hear, the board that have been put in charge of the 2018 bid are already at each others necks.

For the sake of English football; from grass-roots to Premier League, let's hope they can get it right.
