The Power of Positive Thinking

RVP's beginning to sound like some new age health freak guru:

“I have learned a lot in the last two years because I have been injured so much. I learned what my body can take and what it can't, so it was an interesting period for me."

“I hope next season will not be so unlucky with injuries. But at the moment, I just do not want to think about that, the negative stuff. If you think positive, you get positive."

Well, for lack of anything better than simple finger crossing, I suppose positive thinking won't do any harm.

There's some nonsense going round that we're going to bid for Ruben de la Red. Er, not sure where that's coming from. Somehow, I think we've got spaces to fill elsewhere on the pitch, apart from the middle of the park. UNLESS! We're thinking of giving Eboue Jack Wilshere's old #55 shirt and a place in the reserves. Of course, on the topics of La Reds and our midfield, there's of course the still-unresolved issue of Xabi Alonso. Not a bad idea there. Xabi and Cesc can converse in Spanish as they pass the ball around the centre circle.

Speaking of positive thinking, Spurs are right on the button with their supposed bid for David Villa. Not going to go through any of the reporting on this, but it seems there is or will be a £32m bid on the table. Funny. I know they're ambitious, and this is great positive thinking, but I really don't see the dude making the hike to White Hart Lane for UEFA Cup football, and a pipe dream for a top 4 finish. If he does, then jolly good for him. Not.
