Socceraid - As expected there's now a whole load of bleating

Indeed neither Gross nor Santini were there long enough to even take a Spurs side to Highbury

As you say - disappointed that their current horse-rider hasn't galloped towards the Spanish sun after giving positive signs in the wake of the most recent of their extensive Semi-Final defeats

I think Ardiles was my favourite of their truly sh1t managers.

Yes it is a shame he's not going, because - being Spurs - they'd be sure to get someone properly sh1t in to replace him. They're only allowed a good manager once every 30-odd years, after all.

And then - pretty much overnight it seemed - he went from laughing stock to national treasure. It was weird.

See Trevor MacDonald, who always came across to me as being amiable but a bit dim.

One does wonder if his career would have been so illustrious and whether he'd have become 'Sir Trevor' had he not had - how to put this - a certain novelty value.

I always preferred Alastair Burnett and his nose anyway.

I think he owes Lenny Henry a fair bit for the avuncular stuff. Everyone's cuddly ex newsreader, just as, Morgan Freeman was every film makers 'go to' God... Oh , hang on.

Reggie was very fond of a glass or six, if I recall.
At the opposite end, has there ever been a more annoying handbag and smug, poncey newsreader than Alisdair Stewart. ?

Did you know his dad invented the googly? Hence it being known as the 'Bosie' for quite a while.
