The Subversion Of Coronation Street

I am no Coronation Street fan. In fact, I’d say I was allergic to soaps. But this story in the Mail On Sunday heartened this Tottenham Hotspur supporter: apparently the current producer is a Spurs fan and has included all sorts of references to the Lillywhites in the Manchester-based soap.

Well, as someone who trained for the ministry in Manchester and endured all sorts of prejudice there because he was a Londoner, it’s nice to see this happening.

Oh, whoops, sorry, I’m a Christian. I remember: I should forgive.

Spurs Set To Discover Europe Fate

See BBC report here: Spurs missed out on a UEFA Cup place by a small margin in terms of Premiership position. Sunday is the big day to discover whether we qualify under the Fair Play rules. I’m not sure we quite deserved qualification in the end on the grounds of our form: we lost as many games as we won (as was often the case when Hoddle and Graham were the managers), but we had fewer drawn games than many and a positive goal difference, putting us in the top half. Every time we looked like getting an automatic place we shot ourselves in the foot with a bad result against a struggling team. If we do get in by the back door it will be a bonus, and it’s certainly better than fighting relegation!
