Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Exactly,classless Rag type thread.

Explain?

All season the media have been ramming it down our throats about how good Spurs were and their "great manager" all fucking season we have had to endure it, despite what many of us (who actually watch football) knew.

I don't feel sorry for them one bit, loathsome club and fans always have been and always will be

I don't do the gloat thing,i'd sooner stick to celebrating our achievements than revel in the misfortune of others,each to their own though.....

Pmsl says the idiot who spent most of this season slagging our players and manager fuckin idiot....

Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

What is annoying about Harry is his deflection tactics. If a chairmen won't provide the funds for certain things fair enough. But don't mouth it to everyone to try and deflect blame. Trying to turn the Spurs Fans on Levy. Moaning when his team fails talking about how he can't afford this and that. If he can't handle the resources then get a more astute manager who would use a modest budget better and wont moan.

Unbelievable, how Harry's never at fault and blame everyone else as always, telling his own fans to get a reality check? insult isn't the word!
Why targeting big name players he cannot afford? and than lamenting wage cap/budget! that's really an indirect insult to Levy/the board! How he cocks-up big time and get away with it, I'll never know.

Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Back on topic reference Redknapp, he was nailed on that job at England for whatever reason (certaintly not because he was any good), anyway the FA knew that in the very near future twitcher is going to answer to the law again, he is guilty as hell (alledgedly) and the FA know this so would not touch him with a barge pole !!!!

Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Feel bad for them, actually. What a completely fucked rule that you get kicked out of next years jackpot that you earned on merit over a 10 month season because a team you have nothing to do with won the competition.

At the very least let them go into a qualifying round or two.

If we were in their position we'd be devastated.

Re: Let's all laugh at Redknapp!!!

Some fuck wit comments on here tonight.

As much as I don't like spurs, due to their big heads and hype, I do feel somewhat sorry for their dilemma.

Worst case Ontario!!! Wtf, you sound like a rag, consider this a back handed and have a word with yourself in the mirror....

Exactly,classless Rag type thread.

You should check the 200 post 'football is dead' thread on glory glory before labeling this thread as classless.

Bitterness

The season cheats DID prosper, thugs bullied their way to victories and Rascists ended up as winners.

Before i expand, i just want to say i have followed Spurs since i was five years old when my dad took me to a reserve game and later a Pat Jennings testimonial, where me and my dad chatted to Glen Hoddle, just a young reserve about to break into the first team, must have been a full ten minutes and an autograph on the match programme, those were the days. Just want you to know i have been there ,done it ,wore the suit bla bla bla.

Anyway, regardless of tonights CL final result i had already decided that i was done with football. This is not knee-jerk, been thinking about this for months.

How can you have a sport where so much is wrong with it?
Everybody has been saying that this is the best season ever and maybe for excitement and unpredictability thats true.
For me, its been the worst season in history, both from a Tottenham point of view and also from a moral footballing point of view.

CHEATS

I have watched divers and phoneys attempt to bend the rules to their advantage almost at will.
Watched Didier Drogba(great player that he is) dive and cheat his way through games, the Barca games were embarrassing but there he is scoring the winning penalty for his team and collecting the CL as well as the fa cup after Mata fooled the ref into giving the ghost goal with his phoney celebrations.
John Terry and Ivanovich nobble anyone in their way, knees and forearm smashs at will.
Watch every Chelsea player foul by any means to stop the opposition and generally go unpunished. Some of the treatment the Barca players and the Bayern players received was disgraceful.

I have watched players surround and hassle refs and get decisions later on through applying psychological pressure, while my team played by the rules for the most part and got sweet FA! How many times were we 'Foyed' this season?

So much for the respect campaign and the fair play league(which we are normally near the top of), whats the point of it all? What does it mean? Whats the reward for playing clean and fair? Playing the best football is almost irrelevant.

The Ballotelli incident, was it cheating or thuggery or plain assault?
All i know is he was in retrospect found guilty and banned but he was still on the pitch to get the penalty and score the penalty that cost us the game and the point that cost us CL football. Don't forget it also cost Man Utd the league title, while he celebrated a PL title. You see, cheats and thugs do prosper.

RASCISTS

I dont really need to elaborate on this, just to say Luiz Suarez has a league cup winners medal and John Terry has two winners medals.
Has there been a more sickening sight than seeing him lift the CL trophy tonight?

UGLY FOOTBALL AND BAD LUCK

See, it's not just about us,although we have been adversely affected by many of these incidents.
It seems that football has lost this season, Chelsea somehow knocked out Barca despite being the vastly inferior team. We have missed out on CL despite largely playing by the rules.
Ugly football (in Chelseas case) has won this season. Thuggery has won. Defensive,awful football has won. Maybe corruption has won?
Fulop,Lasagne,Webb,Foy,Ghost goals, Goal line technology.......can all these things possibly go against us?
Are we jinxed or are their darker forces at work?
I mean, after missing out on CL because of dodgy lasagne the Arse went and lost the CL to Barca.We would have made it that year.
When we do get fourth, Chelsea win the thing! It had to be that way didn't it? Arsenal would have have won the CL if we had got fourth under Jol because that's just the way it is being a Spurs fan.
Chelsea were the luckiest and dirtiest winners of the CL i have ever seen. Basically one or two shots and one corner in both semis and the final.
How incredible is that?
For example in other sports you get what you deserve right? Baskeball for instance, you run up and put the ball in the basket, the best team nearly always wins.
Cricket, you score runs or you get out. If there is a doubt, then the review system corrects it(most times). 99% of the time the best team wins.

I have made up my mind, football isn't like that. The inferior team can win by luck, cheating, intimadation and yes, possibly corruption.
The rules just don't work, they allow for huge margins of error, no system to correct mistakes and constant fouls and cheating that goes unpunished.

MONEY

I think the next time an Arab or Oligarch buys a football team they should ask him and the club what year they would like to be given the title. Let them choose the year and give them the trophy. Everyone gets a year off, fans,players,managers. They will win it at some point, it's a formality just as Cheatski and Man City have proven. So why not just give it to them and be done with it.
We in the UK, live in a society that (used to) encourage fair play and believed in cheering for the underdogs.
Unfortunately, these new generation owners don't do romance. They come from a place where money talks, corruption rules and there is no room for sentiment and dreamers.
How do you think Roman got where he is? Do you think he cares if he bought the CL?
Where he comes from it's a way of life.
Believe me, i have worked and lived all over the world.There would be no feelings of guilt or cheating if success was bought with wads of cash in brown paper bags.

The greatest game/sport there is, has become massively flawed.

As i said, its been a diabolical season for football and for my team Tottenham Hotspur.

I am not going to put anymore of my time or money into football.It's not the fault of my team, its football in general, it stinks from top to bottom.

Sorry for the rant, this season has just been too much. The football gods must have taken a year off, i think i will do the same.

That goal did cost them CL, loooool


and this gem, footie is dead don't you know
