Now this is strange, if you were a multi-million pound footballer playing at the biggest club in the world....why would you move to the LA Galaxy in the MLS?

The love of the beautiful game

• Comments (0)

I'm a self confessed football fanatic. I love it. So much so, I'll watch any game on TV no matter it's level, consequence or it's interest level. Non-league, under-21's, under-18's, women's, masters, 5 a side, celebrity etc etc. It really makes no difference. My main love withing football is Tottenham Hotspur FC, from as early as I can remember I was a Spurs fan. I'd go as far as saying that Tottenham shaped me. My nature is perfectly suited to it and it has brought out certain areas of my personality more than others.

See below, what the 'ex-editor' had to say recently....

The Not-So-Beautiful Game

It's fair to say that last weekends game between Spurs and Blackburn was a tad heated. Two players sent off, one manager sent to the stands, multiple yellow cards, elbows to the head, kicks to the nether-regions etc.

The incidents marked the game out as one of the nastiest games in quite sometime. Interestingly, before the game there was a poll reported in the press that Spurs manager Martin Jol was the fans pick as the boss they'd 'least like to meet in a dark alley'. After seeing him rant at the referee when Hossam Ghaly was sent off, I can understand why people are so wary of the Dutch bruiser.
