THE TALK.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR. POSTED BY DAN CARRIER.

I HAVE to say I am happy this morning. While the odour of FA Cup disappointment is still lingering about the Carrier house, we have a grand opportunity to make things all ok once more. A win against the odds against the Arsenal tonight and suddenly Sunday matters not. As Harry put it, what better way to get it out of your system than finally getting one over on the Woolwich mob.

So how do we beat them? We are missing players in important positions and those who do start will no doubt still have the Wembley turf coursing through their muscles. But we have one secret on our side: Hangdog Harry. If any one can give the dressing room a lift, Harry can. And what ever the result in the next two games, we've had a season of fun and frolics, with the usual dose of massive disappointment. We have improved since last term, definitely going to finish higher than the eighth we achieved, and seen some fantastic football.

Supporting Spurs is like a Greek tragedy, and I wouldn't want it any other way. 

And may I quickly take this opportunity to say a massive 2009 – 2010 season thank you to John, who saves me a space in the Truman Brewery every week. Once, my car had some awful, awful graffiti scrawled over it – I was in a rush to get to the game and got in to find the letters 'KKK' across the bonnet. I hadn't time to get out and sort it, so drove to Spurs, thinking I'd fix it up afterwards. John was rightly outraged that some should have targeted my car in such a manner, and at the final whistle, I came back to find he'd got a bottle of white spirit and cleaned it off. John, you are a gentleman. Thank you.
