Toxic ramblings about Sport, football, England Tottenham Hotspur, baseball, rugby, cricket and more…

ManUre All the ones I've seen anyway. They're all along the same line as 'ManUre frustrated Spurs to hang on for the draw'. Their goalkeeper was happy with the point as he time wasted from early on. read the rest of this rubbish

Hanging on in quiet desperation
