Happy Friday, Spursland! Your old buddy theroosevelts was tied up yesterday night, so once again I'm stepping in to deliver a Hoddle in my own inimitable inoffensive sufficient style. Below is your theme of the day, and below that is the headlines, God I wish they weren't.
Thee Oh Sees: Toe Cutter - Thumb Buster (via MrSmoDato)
And now the "news"
De Boer: I was honest when talking about Spurs job- Sports Mole
De Boer says he has been approached by Tottenham. Tottenham say they haven't approached de Boer. Tim Sherwood says someone is telling porky pies. I know what I believe, and that is that I am now desperately hungry for a pork pie.
Gunners and Spurs to battle it out for Joel Veltman- Mirror

Spurs game could be the end of the line for Sam Allardyce at West Ham- Telegraph
You'll have a hard time shifting him out of the hotseat etc. etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam ad infinitum
NUFC fans to walk out of St James' Park on the 69th minute- 101GreatGoals
I can't see any conceivable way to mine some puerile humour out of this, so I'm going to move on.
Scholl: Man United players will find Van Gaal 'difficult'- Guardian
That's a load of bollocks. Big, hairy bollocks, exposed to a dressing room full of disgusted footballers.
Hodgson backs Januzaj's Belgium decision- Soccerway
Damn you, you frustratingly lovely old gentleman. I bet you gave him 50p pocket money as you sent him on his way to the continent.
Barry Glendenning said a silly thing about Naples- SBNation
You kinda have to feel bad for Bazza. The one time he tries to make it look like he's done some background reading on something, it comes back to bite him on the ass.
