    I assume that this guy didn't actually watch the match, as Redknapp's celebrations were more emphatic than they usually are.
    I thought he was going to do a David Pleat at one point.

    For those that haven't seen the game:

    PNP - If you didn't see the game why would you go into such detail like the minutes? i think its embarrassing.

    It's bizarre, Notso.
    I assume that he's trying to push his own agenda, but it's a humiliating article to anyone that saw the game or even the highlights.
    It's clearly a flight of fantasy, with no basis in reality.

    Strange.

    Thanks for the highlights PNP. No surprise that the mail man made it up that's what they are good at. All day every day the mail will never let you down they will always find the story they want. You will find the mail in your local library, look under fiction.

    The Dear Mr Levy blog had this to say in his match review:
    "Over on the bench Harry was displaying pure emotion, releasing the stress of the court case with each goal scored celebrated like he was punching the bitter face of the HMRC."

    Couldn't get much further from the Fail's version, really.

    Never even entertain that company with hits on their website anymore, it's guaranteed to be a load of sh|te. Can't even bring myself to call them a newspaper as trading standards might have something to say.

    "He didn't even react in three minutes, five seconds, when Benoit Assou&#8211; Ekotto scored the simplest of openers"

    1:50 on the video. How can journalists get away with such blatant lying?

  13. A truly shameful bit of hack journalism.

    Why these people are still in paid employment and not forced to sell their arses down at the docks, I'll never know.

    You have to mock them really, rather than getting angry.

    'Arry has never been that responsive to chants from the crowd so I wasn't surprised that he didn't react straight away, even when we sing "give us a wave" he usually waits awhile and rarely turns to face the Park Lane when he waves to us. He was busy and trying to concentrate on the game.

    Talking of which; Apparently a true exchange in a court.

    Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?

    A: No.

    Q: Did you check for blood pressure?

    A: No.

    Q: Did you check for breathing?

    A: No.

    Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?

    A: No.

    Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?

    A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk, in a jar.

    Q: But could the patient have still been alive, never the less?

    A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practising law somewhere.

    Any truth in the rumour that the journalist in question recently found out his mrs was shagging a spurs fan?
