Name and Shame
Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 3:42PM Apparently, in some bar in Loughton, Mr Lennon (pished) was 'aving it large and telling everyone he doesn’t care what people say (with regards to his drinking) and that he Spurs pushed him out of the club because of his behaviour he would be 'ok' because plenty of clubs would be happy to take him on.
Right, firstly, what a fucking crock of shite. This 'rumour/story/exclusive' is simply a bunch of text posted on an Internet forum. It serves no purpose other than to stir up fan opinion against the young urbanish r'n'b hobbit like winger.
Firstly, people in all walks of life with jobs with responsibility go out and destroy their livers on booze or worse. And I've seen no evidence that Lennon is painting the pavement with carrot coloured flavor. He's a young lad who has been photographed a couple of times out on the town and people who either see or snap a photo of him are quick to add in a quote in order to make it all a bit more interesting.
Its cool to be a footballer
I'll give you an example. I saw Jade Goody at Harlow shopping last week. She was with some random bloke (obviously her designated driver) and Jack (her bloke). She walked past me flicking her hair with a look that read 'Yes, its me'.
That's it. Nothing else happened. Now, if I was inclined to shit-stir I'd go posting on a BB forum that I saw her (the truth) and that she was fighting off abuse from other shoppers who were calling her a daft bint (the lie).
You can call this lie 'The Prestige'. A fabrication that gives the truth some weight for it to get noticed when it gets posted.
This type of propaganda is very much what The Agents of Levy partake in. It incites negative energy towards a player.
In this case, the aim would be for fans to turn against the talented Lennon so that when Levy sells him to a rival club (for a substantial amount of dosh) we wont be too fussed. We'll all be:
"Yeah, that Lennon is a proper little Greavise off the pitch with the booze....good riddance"
As (currently) the only active member of the League of Lilywhites, I hereby denounce this bullshit story as bullshit.
Avid readers of this blog will point out that I have been a stern disapprover of the Bling Squad that has developed at the Lane and would like to clearly state that I was quick to judge certain players.
Enjoying the odd beverage in-between training should not be an issue of public concern. The Bling Squad should be allowed to party on as long as performances on the pitch are of a high quality.
I'll be keeping an eye out for any developments of this 'story' on Lennon and will critically attack any member of any Spurs forum who attacks Lennon.
The League Of Lilywhites will NAME AND SHAME.

Lennon and booze? No way!! Lies !! Lies !!
Fucking hell, if that aint a fancy dress party then, fucking hell. What a mess. The kid needs to be fucking dropped into the reserves.
Where have you run off to Spooky?
And Lennon played like he was pissed most of last season.
Its all gone to his 'ead.
Lennon needs a bollocking plain and simple. He has shown promise, but is far from being the end product so he should spend his time being a model pro rather than assuming he has made already made it. He has blistering pace but is about 100 light years away from being Ryan Giggs.
"Where have you run off to Spooky?"
Been away for a week and a half (no interweb) and since back, been working on some bits and pieces. Dont want the distraction of the forum at work - and hardly online back at the batcave.
