Tottenham's humiliasian
Pity poor Spurs. They try so hard to be thought of as a big club but recent events have without doubt burst that illusion.
They have spent the last few weeks desperately trying to arrange some friendlis in South East Asia for May but, unlike teams like Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United, they have been finding it hard.
First they approached Indonesia. With Indonesian shirt sponsors you'd think this would have been a no brainer but the FA in Jakarta said no thanks, prefering to prioritise their own domestic league.
A few hurried phone calls later and it was announced the side from the swamps of Middlesex would be playing Vietnam and Singapore.
But now the Vietnamese have pulled the plug citing excessive costs and a lack of a sponsor!
So will the Singapore game also be pulled? Will they come all the way over here just for one friendly or will they knock it on the head, blush quietly and admit to the fact they are nothing but a two bob outfit with little recognition beyond their own shores?
