He actually said ' why is it always me'

I don't know how old you are mate, but I reckon the passage of time has made our loyalty a decade and a half ago an irrelevance to younger fans of other clubs. Supporters of clubs like Spurs in their early twenties will have been unaware of the role that our supporters played in keeping this club going during those dark days. Our support around that time was one of the talking points of football at the time.
Given the general level of antipathy towards our club it is hardly surprising that the older fans of other clubs who do remember aren't fighting our corner and pointing out the truth to them.

It is an enduring sense of bemusement to me that Spurs fans dare criticise our support when the last time they had bigger average home crowds than us was around a decade ago.


That said, anyone who expected our rise to the top to be welcomed by fans of other clubs such as Spurs has a pretty limited understanding of human nature.

Just finished reading Dennis Tueart's book GDM, in the epilogue he specifically mentions this particular point and how if it wasn't for the supporters the club was in real danger of folding.

Funnily enough, DH, I borrowed that book overnight off a mate this weekend. He made me promise that I return it to him for Sunday (we were watching the game together) so due to the limited time I 'sped-read' the sections that I thought would be of most interest - but I never read the epilogue. Thanks for the heads up - I'll borrow it next time I'm round his. Hopefully on this occasion he won't act like an over-zealous fucking librarian.

Haha, it's worth spending a bit of time on mate, especially the stint in the U.S.A, never really heard or thought much about it at the time but reading the book it was obviously an experience Dennis enjoyed.

I don't mind Spurs at all. Allot of knee Jerk hate going on. There player got stamped they want justice. Shock horror.

Balotelli has been found guilty of violent conduct and is now facing a four match ban from the Football Association.

But that really doesn't do Spurs any good, as he was later involved in the injury-time penalty decision and scored Manchester City's winning goal when he really shouldn't have been on the field at the time.

Where is the justice for Spurs in all of this?

If we're talking about decisions that should/shouldn't have been given and their affects then your 1st goal shouldn't have stood. It was only scored after a catastrophic error from Savic, a player who was playing because Kompany was serving a ban for winning the ball in a tackle.

See, people can look back at decisions previously and extrapolate how they have affected subsequent incidents for ever, it doesn't actually mean anything. You have to cope with these things, just like we are.

Well said that man.

He did say he watched the incident four or five times before taking the interview, do you really think if the situation the other way happened Mancini would be all smiles about the situation?

The whole of the football world knows that Harry is as bent as a 9 bob note, do they comment live on TV or do they prefer to let justice take it's course?

A man in his situation really should have known better, but I guess he is getting a fairer trial than Mario got, I am so glad that justice has finally caught up with him, and if he is found guilty the floodgates will open, it will all come out

You are going against the original poster's values of innocent until proven guilty which is what I was posting about.

I'm afraid I have little evidence either way in regards to money transferred to an offshore account therefore I'll just have to sit on the fence for this one. I don't see how Harry's and Mario's cases are similar, unless there was a live broadcast of Harry's misdeeds and gifs circulating of him transfering money from different angles and different speeds which enable you to form an opinion of the event that I am not aware of.

May suggest that you read Tom Bowers excellent book

You may look at your manager is a slightly different way after, mind you it's grist to the mill for Tottenham, you had El Tel at it as well

Tottenham Team sheet vs City

Just caught the team sheet Harry wrote out before the game last Sunday...

sorry, I have to but in, you were accusing Mario of being guilty when he'd only be charged.

So therefore you have no place to comment on whether we say Harry is guilty even though he's only been charged, and 2bh Harry's opinion on whether Mario was guilty SHOULD mean as much as ours, seeing as he isn't an official who is qualified to make that judgement, unfortunately he has the media on his side and thus got Mario banned.

You'll notice we only didn't appeal because people look at what happened and crucified Mario therefore any explanation we wanted to give, especially after Vinnie, Milijas and Barton would have been futile.

From what I've read essentially Harry's defence is he's a 2 year old, you shouldn't play with the big boys then you should Twitcher? More guilty than the 3 footballers I mentioned above.<br /><br />-- Thu Jan 26, 2012 10:09 pm --<br /><br />

[The Future's Blue]

Horrible people the Spuds fans. When they say a dog resembles it's owner, that's what Spurs fans are to Redknapp.

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

 

[DTeacher]

Lol....brilliant.

Hope the lying piece of shit is found guilty and sentenced PROPERLY - that means PRISON.

 

[The Future's Blue]

He can't work out his tax return but can easily chat about this or that players wage, in percentage terms! Go figure.

I inadvertantly wrote that he had been found guilty when in fact he had just been charged. I apologised for my error at the time and don't get what the big deal is, I'd seen enough evidence to assume it would have been madness for him not to be found guilty anyway. It's not as if I take great pleasure in him being banned, couldn't give a fuck really, it's not going to undo the winning penalty is it? As for Harry's comments winning the war against Man city, It's got bollocks to do with having the media on his side, fact is what Mario did was wrong and affected the result of a high profile game as a result, there was always going to be more of a media storm over it because there is much more at stake.

Platt first said that there isn't much point in appealing because of the Kompany situation in a desperate attempt to link the two incidents. They've got nothing to do with each other. In my personal opinion Kompany should not have recieved a red card and the decision to not overturn it is baffling, I don't claim to know the ins and outs of the fa with these matters but appealing the Mario would have been a waste of time, and Platt admitted that it didn't look good when slowed down, or something to a similar effect, which is the nicest way of saying he was a bit naughty.

Once again I know very little about the Harry case, I can only assume it was a throw away comment that has been blown out of proportion, you know, like a few Mancini have had recently. And how do you know he is more guilty than the three footballers above? What does that even mean?

It's one thing disliking a manager because of the way he holds himself up and how he uses the press and such, but that's hardly grounds to be convinced he is guilty of a crime that no one really knows that much about and the fact the many on here declare they would take pleasure in many a horrendous thing happening to him if he does go to prison disappoints me, people need to think through what they're saying in my opinion.

 

[Heart.net]

I have zero respect for Harry Redknapp as a man outside of football and a man within the game.

Why would it disappoint you that people would be wishing this man horrible things? This man has constantly slated our club, ruined other clubs financially and truth be told, it seems like he has the small man syndrome, and the inability to take responsibility for his own actions.

His crime is well documented, & its a shame that he's had to resort to calling himself an illiterate idiot as an excuse, because it shows how low he would descend in order to get away from his responsibility.

I wish nothing but the downfall of Harry Redknapp & his brainless son.

To be completely fucking honest I don't care if the dodgy **** had watched it 4 or 5 hundred times. In his outburst he was being judge, jury and executioner. From that moment on Mario was getting a four match ban.

No, the moment Balotelli decided to stamp on the head of a grounded opponent he was going to get a four match ban. What did you expect Harry to say? "Nah it's alright, i mean he could have split his head open but that's all fairy dust with me, in fact i love it when players try to stamp on my boys, i want to see more of it.".

It is farcical that you are actually trying to blame Harry for getting Balotelli banned. One person in the universe got Balotelli banned, and that was Balotelli. If Defoe did that to Silva you would lose your shit.

It is not Harry's fault that Balotelli decided to be a petulant little c*nt.

I have zero respect for Harry Redknapp as a man outside of football and a man within the game.

Why would it disappoint you that people would be wishing this man horrible things? 1.This man has constantly slated our club, 2.ruined other clubs financially and truth be told, it seems like he has the small man syndrome, and 3. the inability to take responsibility for his own actions.

4. His crime is well documented, & its a shame that 5. he's had to resort to calling himself an illiterate idiot as an excuse, because it shows how low he would descend in order to get away from his responsibility.

I wish nothing but the downfall of Harry Redknapp & his brainless son.

1. Him having a few words on subjects which may not actually need his input is hardly a justifiable reason to want to see him raped in prison.

2. By this comment I can only believe that you have either little, or a naive understanding of how football clubs are run financially.

3. Once again, things that might be seen as slight character flaws are not justifiable as a reason for wanting to see someone raped. That someone (actually lots) could type something like that astounds me. I doubt many would say it in a real life conversation.

4. How is this case well documented?

5. I'll refer you back to the point about throwaway comments being taken out of context, you know, like many of you complain about when it happens to your club/players/manager.
