I know 'Arry's not the most popular figure around these parts (I can't remember why), but laughing at someone getting robbed is a bit shit really.
-
I agree.
-
He won't be unlucky when Lassana lands at White hart lane, I'm convinced Bale is going to Madrid, that's why they got VDV so cheap and why I think they will get Diarra
-
Cant stand the bloke, but laughing at someone getting robbed is a bit sad.
-
One of the worst match reports I've ever read.... didn't even say how the goal was created or at what stage of the game it was scored.
-
I was at the game and noticed that a couple of guys in the lower tier of the uncovered stand at the side were having a ruck, punching and hurling each other half a dozen rows down the stand. Maybe it was 'arry trying to catch the perpetrators.
-
It was me who robbed him. Im feeling a touch guilty. Should i give him back whats his ? I couldnt believe how many chins he appeared to have. Can anyone count them ?

i heard it was alan sugar

Exactly the same thing happened to me in Madrid a few years ago. Strolling through the streets at night with my wife and some guy goes down on the ground in front of me pulling at my trousers. As I deal with him to stop him his mate behind takes my wallet while I chase after the wrong guy. get back to the hotel to phone the credit card company and they've already spent over 3000 euros at a number of non-existent 'bars' specially set up for the purpose. Nasty, but effective and you have to admit, a bit clever.

Will join you in a chuckle nico for no other reason than rednap has a very troublesome transfer past,but more importantly is a media darling who is basically rent a quote for sky.
-
A common thing among pickpockets in Madrid is for them to approach young guys, say hello, act pally, try and get you to do the ''Ronaldo shuffle'' with them while they rummage through your pockets. Once you've noticed they're already away. The sleight of hand is something else.
-
Wonder if they got any brown envelopes
-
Bit harsh on nico here from some here.
Anyone who tells a story about two blokes getting down on the knees in front of him and pulling at his trousers will get a chuckle from me.
Doesn't mean nico finds the fact that he got mugged amusing.
Read it again after you've had our morning coffee.

Um...it's not amatch report.
It's a story about Harry Redknapp getting mugged.

They probably got a wallet full of betting slips.

that what i was laughing at rob, not arry being mugged just the way he was
in that article arry says ""I didn't know whether to knee them in the gob because I was thinking: ' What are they doing"
any normal perso just would. wouldn't they?
-
The report I read said that 'Arry didn't report the assault/theft to the police
It that's true, it seems a bit strange

He's going to struggle to claim on his insurance then.

For someone who grew up on the mean streets around Bow he isn't too savvy is he? There's a lad who escaped the grips of his local Fagin.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he was mugged while attending a football match in Spain on Thursday.
Redknapp, 63, was in Madrid to see the Spanish capital's two main teams, Real and Atletico, play in the Copa del Rey.
He said two men fell to their knees in front of him and tugged at his trouser legs to distract him while four others took money and items from his pockets.
Redknapp said he did not report the incident to police.
He said he was at the match with his assistant manager Kevin Bond and had to borrow money from him to pay for a taxi back to his hotel and for dinner before returning to London.
'Got some sweets'
The former Portsmouth and West Ham manager said: "I'm walking round the outside of the stadium, it's a fantastic atmosphere, there's all little stalls there selling sweets.

Harry Redknapp
"I got some sweets, me and Kevin, and it was so packed. The next thing there's two guys on their knees in front of me and I felt someone pull my overcoat.
"I thought 'what are you doing?'. The next thing he's got my keys on the floor.
"I thought 'is he a blind man or someone having trouble walking properly?' What are they doing, these two blokes?
"I'm going 'let go of my trousers', pushing them away. While I'm doing that they're rifling my pockets, there were about six of them. And then they went.
The Spurs manager was in Spain to watch Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid "I thought 'what are they doing?' I went to put my hand in my pockets and realised what they'd done.
"They took everything. All my money, credit cards, everything really."
The Spurs manager said he did not believe the muggers knew who he was.
"I just probably looked stupid or something, and they thought 'here's one here, he's not Spanish, obviously and we're looking for a foreigner'."
Real Madrid won the match at Atletico's Vicente Calderon Stadium 1-0. Redknapp said the incident unsettled him and he left about 15 minutes before the end of the game, which he attended to watch potential transfer target Diego Forlan, the former Manchester United striker.
Sounds like Arry was 'tapped up'. Shame

It would have been funnier if they had made him do a "Captain Aceveda", filmed it then posted it on YouTube.

Um...I know. It was merely my little dig at the way the story concluded:
"There were about six of them. I put my hand in my pockets and realised what they'd done."
Cristiano Ronaldo scored the only goal of the game.
as if Ronaldo scoring had any relevance to the mugging.
Not as bad as a Bham Mail news story though – they'd have told us Ronaldo's age as well.

His son is a carbon copy. Used to rave on about Lampard whenever he talks about Chelsea. "Lampard's a TOP, TOP playaaar." Does my head in.
