The Tottenham Thread 13/14 part 3.

Then you would have improved on Harry's 4th place. You didn't

Harry's 4th place that didn't get us into the CL and therefore wasn't a significant achievement? Harry got us CL in one season, which was before City really became a force in the league, and when Liverpool was utter shit. And the other years he was here he never achieved it again. He was sacked because for two years in a row we suffered utterly embarrassing implosions in the run in.

I remember in his last season we had a game against probably the world Villa team in years at Villa Park. It was the second last game of the season and a win would have pretty much guaranteed us third place, because Arsenal had just drawn with Norwich at home the day before. So a win would have meant we could overtake them going into the last game of the season. Instead, we end up drawing a game that would have probably been easier than a CL qualifier. I even said before that game, if we couldn't beat a Villa team that was fighting relegation (and who had even lost to fucking Bolton at home the week before), then we didn't deserve to be in the CL and Redknapp should be sacked, which I'm glad he was. Deserved it for having his head turned by the England job which he didn't even get in the end.

which is a shame because roy is dogshit.

Willian on joining Chelsea.

I always wanted to go to Chelsea. Chelsea presented an offer and it was always my dream to go there.

Chelsea is a better club than Tottenham in every aspect. I have spoken with my fellow Brazilians at the club, especially David Luiz. I am also happy to play for Jose Mourinho. That was definitive in my decision.

I bet the Chelsea fans are really delighted with those codes. They needed somebody after Lukaku said that he wants Everton to win this weekend vs Chelsea.

That comment makes Willian come across as a bit of a nob.

Talksport's discussing the use of the "y" word, could a Spurs fan explain why Spurs call themselves that word? I know White Hart Lane's in a Jewish area but they complain when rival fans call them that word, obviously the gas song is downright disgusting and I'm in no way trying to start an argument, just asking.

White Hart Lane/Tottenham is not a Jewish area. The larger Jewish populations are in the boroughs of Harrow, Barnet (big Arsenal support in the area) and Hackney. Manchester has had, as long as I remember, a far bigger Jewish population than Tottenham and thecwider area of Haringey.

Spurs have always had strong Jewish links. Tottenham did have a sizeable Jewish population
at one time and the club has also had the likes of
Irving Scholar as chairman.

I can understand the reasons why Spurs chant 'Yids', 'Jermaine Defoe is a Yiddo' etc., but the fact that some Jewish people state that they find the chants are offensive, the fans should refrain from such chants.

It will be interesting to see how Spurs fans react this weekend.

He was trying to get past some journos, they stood four square and he couldn't get past.

It was clearly an oxide trap.
