The Spanish Armada is circling around White Hart Lane patiently and tenaciously waiting for the right opportunity to unleash a full attack. There has been some tentative fire with the Spanish giants enlisting the services of their French Napoleonic Hero Zizou in an attempt to prize Tottenham’s Gaelic artefact away with measured diplomacy.
The White Conquistadores will once again set sail to steal foreign gold and they are choosing familiar land to pillage. The treasures found to the North have proven to be richly satisfying to Madrid with them raiding British shores on a regular basis. They are not short of spies and their infiltrations will become more frequent, fuelled by an unrivalled obsession for Premier League Gold, they will even resort to letting their rat faced Croatian captive loose to scurry around and nibble at Bale’s heels crying “join us”.
With their bottomless pit of fortunes funded by the capital, the Pirates remain confident that they will have a successful raid, however our very own Sir Francis Levy Drake has lit the fuse and fired his cannons back against the Armada of blatant tapping up offences, sinking any hopes the White Conquistadors may have had. This is what all spurs fans want to see, their leaders committing to a project with fundamentals grounded on building for the future, to construct a colossal legacy like that of the Reds of the North.
We may not be certain of the outcome of what will prove to be a drawn out battle of attrition, however if our Flying Welshman does remain in the Spurs fleet and with some upgrades to Tottenham’s withering ships, there will be good cause to consider that the high seas could be dominated by a navy hoisting Spurs Sails.

Gaelic artefact? - Is Bale Irish/Scottish/Manx now?I think you mean Celtic.......
ReplyDeleteGood point, although you cannot discount that the Gaelics and Celts intermingled/traded and lived closely, not to mention that in Galicia (Spain) there is also Celtic/Gaelic heritage...there is definitely quite a mix ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Gaels are Celts but the Welsh are definitely not Gaels, the languages are likely decsended from the same ancient language (proto-celtic) but there is a very distinct split before there was a people known as Gaels.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very difficult to state what was and what was not considering the lack of evidence and contradicting theories referring to ancient times.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Wales and they would always associate themselves as Celtic, although they also say that most documented evidence has been destroyed as well as stories generally passing through word of mouth in those days, so we don't really know the full story....I would say though that Celtic would have been more appropriate for this article...Now let's keep hold of Bale!!!!
COYS!
The accepted meaning of Gaelic definitely does not include the Welsh:
ReplyDeleteGaelic: of, denoting, or relating to the Celtic people of Ireland, Scotland, or the Isle of Man or their language or customs
Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/gaelic
And I don't think it's fair to say their is a lack of evidence and contradicting theories - there is a great deal of surviving text in ancient Welsh, as well as the fact it is still a living language along with Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic.
The terms Brythons/Britons and Gaels have always referred to distinct groups of people. Obviously the term "Brythonic artefact" may not have been understood so I assume Celtic would have been the most suitable term to use.....
oh yeah and obviously - COYS
An enjoyable read, nothing new just well themed. Jolly good show old chap.
