Redknapp is a man manager, motivator and very knowledgeable about football. A real football man. A bit like myself really! The Spurs play at home to the Premier League leaders Liverpool who kept their unbeaten run going by taking away Chelsea's at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and then beating Harry's old club Portsmouth at home on Wednesday. This is the Pieman's PIE-DICTION: a shock win for Spurs. You can get 11-5 for that at the bookies...get on just like the Pieman! It’s live on Setanta at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday evening... Pukka Pie time!
Former Arsenal and England legend and captain Tony Adams has stepped up from being Redknapp's number to being the new manager of Portsmouth who are currently seventh in the Premier League How will he do? Ok, but he is no Harry Redknapp.
It is wrong to drag up his days at Wycombe. Different times, different problems and lack of resources. I just think they should have given Tone until Christmas to see how he goes and what players he will lose and also sign in the January transfer window. Number two's very rarely make great number one’s. The interviews and conferences may be fun and weird. In September 2006 Adams said, "I've helped a few people at Wycombe etc. I've done a little bit down at Pompey. Thanks very much. If nobody wants me - that's great. I'll go back to watching my chickens."...a bit like Eric Cantana!..................
Talking of new managers, Argentina legend Diego Maradona has been put in charge of the national football team. This is the player who cheated England in the 1986 World Cup by using his hand to score when jumping against Peter Shilton in the England goal. He too has some weird quotes. About the hand - Oh God he says: "At the time I called it the hand of God. ( Bollocks - was it the hand of God, it was the hand of Diego). It felt a bit like pick-pocketing the English".(hardly fair play, dirty Diego, no pies for you!)
John Carew has been fined £52,000 by Aston Villa after the striker was reported to have been spotted in a lap dancing club after curfew hours the night before a match. It would have been cheaper to have bunged the lap dancers a few quid and dashed home early! There is no doubt that John was drinking soft drinks but the Norwegian, now known as the Rocket Man by his team-mates, was stretching it when he says that he was not in the club but was in a bar that shares the same entrance!
Well in the interests of this blog (purely for research you understand) I have taken a gander at the "Rocket Club" and the bar is part of the club and there were very scantily dressed ladies at the bar. It was not that hot so I assume they were lap dancers (I'm not just a pretty face!). Score: Pie Girls 10 - Rocket Club lap dancers 6 (after extra time!)...........Have you heard the one about the goalkeeper who thought the team coach was in his safe hands but he dropped it? It crashed and cost him £20,000. It’s been revealed that Blackburn goalie Jason Brown, who earns £7500 a week as the reserve goalie has been handed the repair bill after he demolished a wall trying to drive a top range coach at Rovers pre-season German training camp. Because he doesn’t have a PCV licence required there is no insurance cover. Footballers will be boys! Do you remember Paul Gascoigne crashing Middlesbrough's Team bus ten years ago?
I hope you are enjoying the radio show. It’s great having you on board. Remember football is the game, fair play mate is the name.
Yours in pie…
The Pieman
