Turkeys on the run or Wafer Cup for Spurs?
PHEW! Spurs have avoided the big guns of Europe.
I think we all feared the worst at Friday’s Wafer Cup draw, the ‘serious’ knockout stages are full of potential pitfalls.
 I mean Tottenham must be mighty pleased that they avoided the danger of Zulte-Waregem, it’s a hard place to get a result (it’s a hard place to find, let alone get a result).
They also avoided the deadly danger of Livorno – I think they are from Italy. I don’t know about you but when I think of Italian football, I think of Milan, Inter, Roma and .. erm.. Livorno.
Then, of course, Braga and Hapoel Tel Aviv would have been fearsome opponents. In the end, Tottenham got Southend. I mean Milton Keynes Dons. No. Hang on. They got Feyernood. At least we have heard of them, even if they only came third in a group of stiffs that couldn’t make the Champions League.
Forget those big matches involving Real Madrid and Barcelona in that other competition. The Wafer Cup is the place to be.
 GLAD tidings readers, ’tis the season to be jolly.
Unless you are a Man City fan. Or a hospitalised child being visited by an ugly footballer. Or a Charlton supporter. Or Arsene Winger.
 Aah Arsene. Once so placid you could walk out at half time and he’d still select you for the Champions League final.
Now the referee only has to break wind on his way to the tunnel and the French teenager gets ready to rumble.
Santa had better make a quick getaway on Monday morning. Arsene has been dreaming of finding a title-winning team under his tree this Christmas. All I reckon he’s likely to wake up to is a gift-wrapped Asbo from the FA.
Oh, and the hot breath of Marty Jol on his face. One away win all season and we’re still only two points behind the Arsenal tweenies. Dish us up one this weekend Marty and we’ll have those turkeys on the run. That would make for a Merry Christmas.
