Airbags Optional said:I think Spurs are going to be right up there this year, the talent in their squad if they complete these signings is quite scary. Very good window for them especially they had a good team already.. Could this be the year they force Arsenal out of the top 4?

Jones (academy)
Ferdinand (academy)
Evra (free)
Zidane Cleverly (academy)
Carrick (free loan from Spuds)
Kagawa (local lad)

City's by comparison:

Zab (£50m)
Kompany (£100m)
Nastasic (£30m)
Clichy (£Emirates Stadium cost)
Yaya (£300m a week)
Fernandinho (£300m more than he shouldve cost)
Silva (£His weight in gold)
Navas (£More than Jesus)
Aguero (£1billion)
Dzeko (£100m per goal)

In fact he's probably gone longer on this forum without a ban than I have.
Which I concede isn't difficult.

He doesn't do himself any favours with the charts, graphs and reserve line ups but it's got to the stage where he can't defend himself without being threatened with a ban.
Last night's constant piss taking because he lives in Israel and rarely attends games is pathetic. I live in Hull and can't watch City more than half a dozen times a season. Jimharri in Ireland, Lucky Toma in Wales, Paphos-mcfc, Foetus, Wooderbeen and Pominoz all have a similar situation but nobody turns on us about it.
I've been guilty of taking the piss out of 0161 myself when I did the mock chart but a line needs to be drawn. Less boring shite about Spurs from him, less ganging up from City fans.

All good sentiments, Kev, however what I think needs pointing out is that there are very few other fans forums out there that would a.) even allow threads about another team and, most pertinently, b.) not have banned, by now, a fan of an opposition team who posts lies about their own club and takes a pop at the club who's forum it is, which is what has happened and why THFC0161 is treated as the Cockney WorsleyWeb.
It's also laughable that Crouchinho gets away with telling mods on a City forum how to run the site when another Spud is rightly getting shit for being a monumental dick.
But hey, I'm just a City fan on a City forum who thinks Cockney WUM's being given their own thread is a fucking liberty, but there we are.

Spurs should walk that league. Anzhi are a shadow of the side that actually qualified for the Europa League, Sheriff hail from that footballing hotbed of Armenia and Tromsø are only still in the competition because Besiktas were thrown out. A couple of lengthy trips to Eastern Europe, but that aside it couldn't have been much easier for Spurs.THFC6061 said:Spurs have drawn Anzhi Makhachkala, Sheriff Tiraspol and Tromsø in the UEFA Europa League Group Stage.
We really shouldn't have too many problems, apart from the amount of travel involved.
Our current squad is certainly strong enough to field very respectable teams in the UEFA Europa League this season, without it effecting the performance of the first choice XI for Premier League matches.
And if that's not enough, we've got plenty of talented U21s who can pitch-in too.

It's a very strong squad indeed (although I'd have thought the Willian situation would have tempered your predictions of future signings!). I still think, overall, City's squad, and Chelsea's squad, are stronger, and that United have that inate ability to over achieve on a regular basis. Spurs will be a lot closer to the top 3 than people thought a month or so ago, but I still think it's 4th place they'll attain. Lets not forget, that's a lot of new players to try and meld into a team all at once, there will be teething problems. Arsenal shouldn't be any real worry for Spurs though, I see the Spurs squad as being far superior to the Arsenal one. If Spurs fail to make the top 4 this season it will be a complete failure.THFC6061 said:Matty said:Spurs should walk that league.

Yes, that's very fair comment.
Just as a matter of interest, here are a couple of XIs Spurs could field (assuming Eriksen & Lamela go through) without placing too much emphasis on which players might be in the stronger of the two teams...

...I think most would probably agree that it's as strong an overall squad as you're likely to find in the Premier League at the moment.

It's certainly the strongest Spurs squad I've ever seen since I first started supporting the club in the mid-1960s.

Kaboul & Vertonghen both started Tottenham's last game as the central defence partnership.
