Does nobody want to win the league?

Posted on by

So Arsenal have thrown away the slight chance they had of winning the premiership with defeats at Tottenham and now Wigan.

Chelsea slipped up against Tottenham when they had a real chance of getting one hand on the title. With Manchester United only just scraping an injury time winner at City it really does look as if no team really wants to win the Premier League !

Harry RedknappTottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp was accused yesterday of an estimated £40,000 tax evasion. The 62-year-old was charged with two counts of cheating the public revenue.

The charges concern two payments, totalling 295,000 US dollars  from former Portsmouth  chairman Milan Mandaric to Redknapp, allegedly evading tax and National Insurance contributions.

Redknapp’s arrest was part of a wider inquiry, called Operation Apprentice, by the City of London Police and HM Revenue and Customs into alleged football corruption. He was held in November 2007 by investigators examining a number of transfer deals at his former club, Portsmouth, and at Birmingham City.

brown bagAn un-named source was heard to say on hearing the news: “What next? PAYE on the contents of brown paper bags?  Tax on expenses for meetings in Service stations? Have things gone mad?”

Rumours that Tottenham Hotspur‘s entire future transfer plans have been shelved are unfounded. Meanwhile, sales of brown bags have slumped.

It’s a bad week for goalkeepers….

Following on from the suicide yesterday of Germany goalkeeper Robert Enke, it has been revealed that Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini has suffered “potentially life-changing injuries” in a motorbike accident in East London. He was taken to hospital after his BMW bike was involved in a collision with a car in Walthamstow this morning.

The Italian, 36, who signed from Chelsea in January this year has fractured both wrists and injured his pelvis.

A statement on Tottenham’s website said: “Carlo Cudicini has fractured his wrists and injured his pelvis after being involved in a road accident this morning.

“The 36-year-old Italian goalkeeper has been admitted to hospital and undergone scans under the supervision of club medical staff.”

“The club will update supporters on Carlo as soon as there is any further information.”

Footballbits and pieces would like to pass on their best wishes to Carlo for a speedy recovery
