Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Carlton Cole To Tottenham In August

Tottenham’s striker problems have been well documented. More intelligent analysis might ordinarily look at the suppy that the strikers have been getting.

But the very public demise of Tottenham’s so called assests has left Harry being linked with all and sundry. The very public demise of Robbie Keane, the hit and miss form of Defoe, the endless hoofs towards Crouch and the freezing out of Pavyluchenko all add up to an unhappy picture.

The man to change this then is Carlton Cole. Tottenham message board Spurs Odyessy’s ITK , MilTHFC say that the deal is effectively done and the West Ham striker who has been linked with any number of teams will be Tottenham bound.

This seems to fly in the face of what the new owners of West Ham told the press the day they took over, but who knows what sort of figure was brokered to change the mind of the impoverished Eastenders.
