Oh crap. Gotta hate the consistency of the other teams sometimes.

Excellent story, shame you won't be continuing as I really enjoyed your writing style and adventures.

12th July 2010

Howdy dudy folks. I'm back

I'm not sure where to start here so i'll just babble a bit and you can work it out.

I was at my leaving do and was chatting away with Old Gauston and a few other folk and all of a sudden Franky boy Arnesen appears with Danny Levy.

I didn't get on with those 2 very much at all while i was at the club. I suppose the fron page expose in the Crap of the World newspaper in 2007 gave them all the ammo they needed to hate me. All though i have done better than they ever imagined.

Anyway, Franky and Levy got straight to the nitty gritty of why they came down. They told me and Gauston that Gauston wasn't getting the managers job because he was to inexperienced. They said that if the job was there in a years time and Gauston had done well with the reserve team then he would get the job. The only problem there was, who would take the mangers job for 1 year.

This was where it got interesting. They asked me if i'd reconsider going and take a new one year contract. I said no straight away. Then they hit the big button. They offered me double my old wage plus a new car and a clause that gave me the power to leave the club if any club that i stated before hand offered me a job. I said i'd think about it.

At that point i'd already turned down both Juventus and Liverpool as i would rather head home to Scotland or out to Spain.

After 3 days of mulling it over and talking to old Gauston i decided i'd stay. 1 more season won't kill me and the Luuuuvvvvvelllly folk here at FM have given me a new contract to carry on my diary. All of a sudden my bank balance looks like i'm worth something.

My contract for here at FM kicks in at the start of the season so i'm not allowed to mention anything other than results and stuff about me until the 14th of August. I'll pop up the info for our pre-season and some other stuff soon.

Have a good summer.

Hugo :cool:

10th August 2010

Pre season info and a few other bits and bobs from your old pal Hugo.

Firtsly the Argies won the World Cup 1-0 against Spain.

Now to us:
Pre season friendly info

Amsterdam Tournie:
Ajax 0 Spurs 2 - King and Prutton scored.
Sparta Prague 1 Spurs 2 - Anderson and Trochowski scored.
Spurs win Amsterdam Tournament.

Dunfermline 1 Spurs 3
Scorers: Stead - Hitzelsperger - Kallon

Silkeborg 0 Spurs 2
Scorers: Kallon - Leandro

Austria Vienna 0 Spurs 0

Beveren 0 Spurs 1
Scorer: Keane
Other: Bierkofa broke his wrist and is out for 1 month.

Marseille 0 Spurs 4
Scorers Kamara x2 - Raulin - Leandro

The ins and outs during the summer.

IN:
Alexander Farnerud - Free
Mikael Landreau - Free
DaMarcus Beasley - Free
Jason Henderson from St Johnstone - 50k - Young left back who will go into the reserve team and hopefully deevelop.
Vierinha - Ecija - 500k - A guy who was full of potential when he was 19/20 and has gone off the rails a bit. Gauston thinks we can get the best out the guy and he will go on to challenge SWP for the right winger slot.
Tommy Simpson - Derby - A 19 year old DL Or ML. Another one for the future.
Alan McGuire - Free - A 18 year old DC that Kirk Whitelock spotted on his holibobs in Scotland. I've only seen him in action for our youth team but my god he'd tackle a bus if you asked him.
Joni Pursanen - Tmepere Utd - 200K. 19 year old right winger with pace to burn. Another who will start in the reserves.
Michael Newman - West Brom - 850K. A good attacking midfielder who also seems to be able to play upfront. He is only 19 so he will hopefully gain a bit of muscle as he is a tad on the light side.
Jason Jones - Haverfordwest - 50k. A talented young Welsh striker who i was watched by a few of our scouts. They seem to think he is player in the mould of Kevin Phillips the ex Sunderland and Southampton striker.
Issah Eliakwu - Verona - 3.9mil. A goal scorer if ever i saw one. An ex Inter youth player who knocked in 21 goals in 30 games for Verona last season.
Still to arrive:
Javier Mascherano is due to arrive on Sep 1st.

Most of the signing are players who we think have a potential to become 1st teamers in a year or so but i'm sure a few of them will blossom before this season is done.

OUT:
Geremi - Wolves - 1.8mil
Vagner Love - Perugia - 3.7mil
Paul Robinson - Reggina - 3.9mil
Alex - Udinese - 2.8 mil
Freddy Adu - Villareal - 6mil + 50% of his next tranfer fee.
Aruna - Charlton - 5mil
Jonathon Stead - Everton - 3.4mil
+ a few reserve and youth team boys were sold or released.

The board gave me 80mil to spend on new players so i currently have around about 100mil to spend if i want to.

Injury news:
Kieron Richardson has fully recovered from his injury and is looking like he is ready to go.
He is also dating one of the wee honeys that he met at the Hospital, lucky sod.

My Love life:
Everything was looking good for me and Charlotte until her boyfriend from high school made a shock appearance. The ba****d proposed to her after being back for 5 days and she said yes. She still works here and i wish her all the best, NOT!.
I've had a few flings while we've been on our trips away during pre-season but nothing great.

The best part of pre-season for me was when in the casino at schipol airport in Amsterdam and won 15k at a game of Texas Hold Em against Daniel Levy and some muppet who said he use to be a pop star. Peter Andrar or something like that, said he dates some thing with boobs.
A tip son, quit the old bottled tan it makes you look like an arse.
Danny Levy was gutted that i beat him, Nae Luck mate.

Anyway i'm off to my uncle ned for some kip.

I shall post my first proper report on the 14th August after the Sheff Utd away game.

Oh and just in case you are wondering Chelsea beat Man Utd 1-0 in the charity shield.

Hugo out.

Oh and one last thing that i forgot to put in my diary.

I got an upgrade on my dugout chair. It now has a 8 inch plasma screen tv built in and a music system for when things get real bad and the club paid for it. I need to remember and take this baby home when i leave.

Hugo out, again.

Howdy folks,

just back from Sheffield. It's a crackin wee place, folk are a good laugh and there are some alright burds up there.

Anyway down to the stuff you wanna know.

Todays Team:
Landreau
Mabizela King Upson Kleber
Gurain
SWP D'Alessandro Richardson
Keane Kamara


Since we want to start the season strongly me and Gauston have decided that we will stick to our attacking ideals and just have that one last pop at winning the title. The bookies have made us 10/1 so i've stuck a grand of the money i won of Levy on us to win.

Todays game was a fairly dull affair with both teams trying to crank there way up the gears. We seemed to get through the first game blues better than United. That's probably the main reason we won 2-0.

The goals came from Upson, he nodded home a D'Alessnadro corner. The second goal came from the debutant Eliakwu who came on for Keane with 10mins to go. Kamara beat 2 players out on the left and then ran in on the goalie before cutting the ball back to Eliakwu who tapped the ball into the empty goal.

I'm delighted that we won and that Eliakwu scored on his debut. The defence looked pretty good and Kieron Richardson looked like his old self.

I really need to get Eliakwu a nickname or something because it's a nightmare to remember the spelling and i've not got a scooby how you would say it. Any ideas? Bueller, bueller, anyone?

Anyway must dash i'm off out to try and pull some chicks. Rui Costa is coming out so no doubt he'll get all the talent while me and Rudi Vollborn will be left with the skanks. Wish me luck folks.

Cheers

Hugo

Hows we doin folks.......
I'm alright and before i say anything else, i'd like to thank the staff at Triple x dance bar for finding my jacket for me the other night.

Well, today was a toughy, Southampton at home. This lot are never easy because they are fairly solid and have a great aerial threat from Beattie and co.

The good part is we tamed the threat and broke through there defence with success on 2 occasions. 2 goals to nil was the final score.

Team:
Landreau
Mabizela King Upson Kleber
Prutton
Beasley Hitzlsperger Richardson
Keane Kamara

Hitzlsperger broke the deadlock after just 7mins with a strike that could have taken the goalies hands off if he'd got them to the ball.
Then after 31mins Kamara used his pace to get onto a Richardson pass before he fired the ball past the goalie to make it 2-0.

The rest of the game was played in 2nd gear from us and Southampton looked happy to take the 2-0 defeat and move on.

I'm happy with the performance in the 1st half but the 2nd half was a bit crap in all honesty. I was glad i could watch the horse racing on my wee screen and enjoy a refreshing orange juice. The nice people at the FA made a rule to stop me from drinking in the dugout, as you can imagine i'm happy at that. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh. I also realised that since i've been at Spurs i've been fined 60k all totaled by that bunch of muppets. I'm just waiting for thm to ban my chiar all together.

Now i must say goodnight as i've not eaten yet and i need to phone a kebab.

21st August 2010

Ok, i'm stuck in Bristol and i'm not happy, and this tinternet cafe is freezin and full of muppets.

I went to get on the team bus home and realised i'd left my bag of giant cola bottles in the dressing room, i went in to get them and when i came back out the bus was gone. Flippin nightmare because my mobile was on the bus so i couldn't phone to get them to turn round.
They are going to send a car to get me tomorrow and they've booked me into a hotel here. I think i'll blast the clubs account for a few beers and a good feed.

Now, back to todays game. Bristol City(A), i've never been here before and although you fancy your chances against newly promoted sides you still kinda wonder about how the game will go.

Yet again i was wrong to worry and we walked away, or the rest of the team walked away 2-0 winners. I'm still here being a 2-0 winner.

Team:

Landreau
Stalteri King Upson Kleber
Guarin
Beasley D'Alessandro Kallon
Eliakwu Kamara

The game was very similar to the Southampton game. Once we got in front Bristol seemed happy to put on the damage limitation button and hope for the best.
We got in front after 22mins when D'Alessandro smashed home from the edge of the area after a poor clearance freom the city defence. Then 5mins later he scored his and our second of the match. Beasley crossed over from the right and D'Alessandro controlled the ball before knocking it past the goalie.

The same scorline as our last game and pretty much the same performance.

Right, i'm off to get me a good dinner and a few jars back at the hotel.

Have a good weekend

Hugo

Ughhhhhh, i'm back and my god am i sufferin, i hueyed twice in the car on the way back. I suppose sitting with the bar staff until 5am drinkin tequila and vodka shots didn't help.

Anyway i'm just popping up this update to say that the stuff in this mornings papers about Mabizela going to Deportivo for 9mil aren't true. Yes, they did make a bid but i told them to screw the nut. If you want one of our top men you'll pay a minimum of 20mil.

Gotta go get me something to help me get over this hangover.
