The Tottenham Thread 12/13

Re: The Tottenham Thread (Merged)

I'll look forward to reading all the backtracking from spurs fans if they get a huge investment. I've had a quick look and it's already started, apparently it's ok for them to spend money because we did it first. What about it not being fair on all the other Prem clubs ? They don't seem arsed about that now. Bunch of fucking hypocrites.

You have to laugh really. If Tottenham were taken over City-style, Spuds fans would never ever say "you bought the league" or "where were you when you were shit" again. Suddenly, spending out of their means would become acceptable and they would start complaining at financial fair play. As you say, bunch of fucking hypocrites. This is why I never listen to opposition football fans these days, particularly on City, because they full of shit.

If we got taken over - as half the Spurs fans I know are praying we do - then obviously most will be happy, and of those a significant section would be the hypocrites you talk about. A small minority will be unhappy, and stick to their guns on pre-held views.

The above describes Spurs fans, City fans, and basically just fans, or do you think before your take-over all the City fans used to applaud the big-spending antics of Chelsea, Utd and the rest...?

This.. Always been more concerned with City struggling to stay up rather than mitherin' about how rich other clubs were...

Seems we are the only ones who didnt give a shit about the Roman Billions, after all the money we got for SWP kept our heads above murky water.

Me neither, with the exception of the rags (for obvious reasons) I and everybody I knew were more than happy to see another club make the premier league a more interesting place with its new-found wealth.

Some clubs dont mind our wealth but the usual suspects really fookin hate it..

And to quote the macdonalds advert. Na na na na na..Im lovin it.

 

[FinallyGamble]

An exciting transition for spurs fans, I have always said that in my opinion AVB was simply trying to, at Chelsea, not rely on the old guard and bring in some youth which some manager at some point is going to have to do. Think we might see spurs make a better challenge this coming season.

Even when the Rags did it, while not liking them buying good players for big money (because that invariably gave them a better chance of winning trophies) I was accepting of it and that's going all the way back to the 80's when I was growing up and United were nowhere near the best team in the country. It just seemed the norm for them to do it, even if it plunged them into debt and they'd clearly spent "beyond their means" which is what happened in the summer of 1989 in particular.

Moving on, I don't recall a single City fan begrudging Blackburn Rovers or their fans when Jack Walker bankrolled them even though it could be argued that we were one of the teams they replaced in the top 5 of the top flight - last full season before Walker bought Blackburn we finished 5th in the first division while they were still a second division club. When they got promoted after beating Leicester in the 1992 play-off final we'd finished 5th again.

Villas-Boas has confirmed Modric want's to leave spurs. Surely if they were getting big investment, they would be able to keep hold of him.

Maybe he thinks Essex is a boring, souless, shithole :)

IMO Modric has treated Spurs shabbily. Signing a very long contract and then a few months later wanting to leave was a bit shitty. We'd be furious if one of our key players did the same.

I know mySpurs supporting acquaintances don't all agree but I felt that he lacked desire when playing for Spurs last season and he was always one of the first who went missing when the going got tough during games.

 

[DaveTheYid]

Modric is over-rated anyway, Jermaine "Da Genius" will take his place and it will be an upgrade in my opinion.


then i woke up.

 

[mcfclovin88]

Although not the same type of player, I think Sigurdsson will become better than Modric was for you. Just my opinion of course.

 

[Speaker]

Quite liking our signings thus far. Adebayor is looking inevitable, and a few whispers about lloris are very welcome. Modric out and moutinho in wouldn't be terrible business. Need another striker and an attacking midfielder that can come inside off the wing, like afellay.

Looks like we could be improving the quality of our squad and reducing the average age of the squad, which after Harry's insatiable desire for average players over the age of 30, is a breath of fresh air.

You're wrong. Theres a thread on Glory-Glory where a large portion of us hope it is avoided.

Personally if Spurs became a club like City, I'd cease to follow football with the kind of dedication I do now. I'd keep an eye out for the scores and watch Match of the Day, but that'd be about it for me.

I'm fairly disillusioned with football now anyway because of the inability to compete on a financial level and my interest is trending towards other sports, a buy out of Spurs would be the final nail in the coffin.

Showing how quick he would turn his back and not go to games. haha nice.

 

[Crouchinho]

I'm the opposite, I love the way the club is run but that will only get you so far. Football has changed dramatically.

It's already been 50 years since a league win, it could easily go another 50, 150 years.

I want a huge medal before I die

An oil barons plaything. Living well outside of their means. It's bad for football and I'd hate to see it happen to a club I love. My interest would diminish considerably to the point where football will become something I used to enjoy.

Think when he does explain himself he will come out with the usual shite. "It just feels like the clubs lost its heritage its values you know? Thats why I would stop going to games and become arm chair"<br /><br />-- Fri Jul 13, 2012 8:47 pm --<br /><br />

Haha mate it's not becoming an arm chair football fan, it's ceasing to be a football fan all together. It's the sport I am beginning to loathe, Spurs is the only thing that keeps me interested. If they turn in to the embodiment of everything I hate about football, theres nothing left to interest me in the sport.

There are plenty of sports around the world which are organised specifically to promote competitiveness, which makes them far more enjoyable
