The Tottenham Thread 13/14 part 2.

Re: The Tottenham Thread 13/14

Good, let them build themselves up and get giddy and when Arsenal pip them to 4th we can all laugh.

Indeed. They will stay in touch until the New Year and then they will lose half their games from then til May.

Just as a matter of interest, Spurs have amassed more points in the second half of the season than the first in five out of the last seven seasons.

In fact, the 39 points we won in the second half of last season was an all-time club Premier League record.

And yet you still went from third to fifth, statistics mean fuck all<br /><br />-- Fri Aug 16, 2013 11:44 pm --<br /><br />

I didn't mention the 99k being the equivalent, I just laughed at the ludicrous figure plucked from thin air of £100m.

You say judge him on his record, but if I'm doing that, then you have to judge him on his lifestyle. There's no way Jimmy Greaves would be able to compete in the modern game boozing and smoking and with the 'working' man's diet of the time.

The whole comparison is pointless.

he was such a great player he was dropped from the England team that won the world cup for Hurst

Thought he'd been injured and Ramsey decided to keep a settled side. Not quite dropped is it ?

My recollection was that Ramsey didn't see him as a 'team' player

Not wanting to start an argument, but Greaves got injured a couple of weeks before world cup, he was only available for the semis (I think)
,so wasn't dropped in favour of anyone else. He just couldn't get back in the side.

 

[squirtyflower]

And neither do I want an argument over something that happened nearly half a century ago

However If messi or Ronaldo were injured going into a World Cup I wonder if they would be put back in the team when fit?

All things being equal and that's a reference to the Poster who went on about diets and nutrition and lifestyles and the modern game's requirements etc. I have been watching Football for almost fifty years and I saw Jimmy Greaves.

I would do a straight swap for Silva and Aguero and throw in a couple of my fingers.

For the younger posters; he really was that good. He missed the World Cup Final only because he got injured early doors.

Solid entertainment though, I must say.

I agree, I would like to know why he has a fascination with hardcore tottenham stuff on a City board? There is some underlying motive. Opposing views is fine, but he goes to another planet with the fandom on here.

Crystal Palace host Tottenham Hotspur at Selhurst Park in the opening Premier League match of season 2013-14 on Sunday 18th August 2013 KO 13:30 and shown live on Sky TV.

Palace won promotion to the Premier League by beating Watford 1-0 in the Play-Off Final at Wembley and take their place in the Top Flight after being relegated at the end of the 2004-05 season. Spurs finished the 2012-13 season in fifth place, despite setting a new club Premier League record of 72 points. The game on 17th August will be the 92nd time the two clubs have played each other.

Crystal Palace were founded in 1905 by the builders of the Crystal Palace (hence The Glaziers nickname) and played their first matches at the old Cup Final ground. They joined the Southern League Second Division for season 1905-06 and won promotion at the first attempt.

The first meeting between the two clubs came in the Southern League First Division in October 1906 with Spurs winning 3-0 at White Hart Lane and going on to do the double with a 1-0 away win in February 1907.

The 1907-08 season was the last for Tottenham in the Southern League and the two games against Palace ended with a win each. The clubs also played in the Western League that season with a win for both teams.

Spurs & Palace were regular opponents during the First World War and Tottenham enjoyed a run of nine consecutive wins against Palace during this period.

The first competitive game after WW1 came in the 1st Round (modern 3rd Round) of the FA Cup in January 1924 at The Nest in Croydon with Palace winning 2-0. They had previously played their games Herne Hill, Norwood and moved into their purpose-built stadium at Selhurst Park later in 1924.

Tottenham and Palace played several matches during World War Two with honours generally being fairly even.

Crystal Palace played their first season in the Top Flight of English Football in the 1969-70 season with Spurs winning both First Division matches 2-0. Jimmy Pearce and Martin Chivers got the goals at Selhurst Park while Alan Mullery and Steve Perryman were the scorers at White Hart Lane.

The clubs were also drawn together in the 4th Round of the 1969-70 FA Cup with Palace progressing after a 1-0 win in the replayed match in South London after the first game was goalless at the Lane.

Palace remained in the First Division for a further three seasons with Spurs winning four of the six matches and drawing the other two.

The clubs met in Division Two in 1977-78 with Spurs winning 2-1 at Selhurst Park (Ian Moores & John Duncan) and Palace getting a 2-2 draw at the Lane with Glenn Hoddle scoring a brace for Spurs. Tottenham won promotion at the end of that season.

Crystal Palace were back in the First Division for season 1979-80 and both matches against Tottenham were drawn.

The first Football League Cup game came in September 1980 with a 0-0 3rd Round draw at White Hart Lane followed by a 3-0 win at Selhurst Park in the replay with Ricky Villa, Glenn Hoddle and Garth Crooks all scoring.

The Eagles were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93 but only lasted a season before being relegated. They returned for the 1994-95 season but fared no better and were again relegated. Their third season came in 1997-98 but failed to establish themselves and were relegated.
Palace were back again for the 2004-05 season but once again dropped down to the Championship.

The eight Premier League matches played between the two clubs resulted in two wins each with four games drawn.

Overall, Tottenham have won 40 of the 91 matches played so far with Crystal Palace winning 25 games and the remaining 26 drawn.

The reason he does it on the city board is because he's banned from all the other boards and most probably even a few Spurs ones too. we're a tolerant lot up here. :)

And that monstrosity above ^^^^ Just f**king wow!

 

[Blue Hefner]

You have to admire his work ethic at putting stuff like that together, if indeed its all his own work. Imagine what he would achieve if he put his efforts into something worthwhile!

Blame who ever came up with the idea of a Spurs only thread on our forum then.

He is ok by me and has the same right to post on bluemoon as anybody else.

I started a Leslie out thread as a joke and it got pulled before it grew any legs (LOL).

Do you honestly think anyone else would be daft enough to put a match history like that together?

It's something I do for every game Spurs play.

I wasn't just referring to that particular post, you seem to have tables/charts for everything! Fair play though, must take a lot of time and effort

Many do and would be prepared to post them on other forums THFC6061.

I have a passion for property statistics without the photos but only industry players like agents would be interested to look at some of them to help them better place themselves as to when and how and under what circumstances they could use them to increase their bottom line.

I would prefer you focus on these stats twice a year but it is a Spurs only thread so its a good thing you are posting in it.

I enjoy reading the Spurs thread, its nice to get other fans' perspective on things and I for one, hope that Spurs are a force to be reckoned with this year, nothing excites me more than having the established order shaken up a bit. First it was Liverpool, now it will be Arsenal and before long, hopefully united.

I don't I hope we street it in by more than Manure did last year but if Spurs want to finish a distant second to us I wouldn't complain.

Personally, i'd rather we won it on the last day of the season on goal difference.

Last time round, we knew the season was over by March so the reality of losing the league sinks in over a period of months and you begin to look onto next season, but to snatch the title in the dying seconds against qpr will go down in history, they will never be allowed to forget it... Last season is already forgotten about, no one will recall the 12/13 season where Arsenal were the best English team in the CL and United won the title (again) in a boring season.

The excitement is wonderful, I'd love the title to be a 4 way scrap to the death with us on top.

Our second title under current ownership should be in Bayern Style ala last season to give us oldies some easy moments.

You can have your scenario next time around.
