The Tottenham Thread (Merged)

Jol situation could have been handled better for sure. But that strengthens my point about having a replacement lined up straight away, even if it didn't work out too well with Ramos.

I don't particularly want anyone to replace Harry, but if needs must then I think Capello could be a good move as an experienced head coming in, or if we were after the young coach to instill his philosophy in to the club and all that, then AVB could be a good shout, think he'd be given enough time here.

I don't tend to be to judgemental of a manager until his first 6 months or so, I was ever so wrong about Harry so now I tend to reserve my judgement.

So am I in any danger of losing that £20 I put on Mourinho absolutely not joining you?

I think AVB would do well there. Provided he doesn't start alienating people.

Re: Ledley King

id go for saha if we need another forward be a good free transfer as back up i know some will say he was at the swamp but everywhere he been he has always scored goals when fit

Has a posters user name ever been more apt.

if i were spurs i'd be shitting it for the forthcoming season, i can just see them crumbling as player after player follows harry out the door.

Shitting it?

I'm well up for it, comfortable in the knowledge that if one of our big players leaves then it will be for serious money. And if Harry leaves we will have a replacement lined up as the possiblity of Harry leaving/being sacked has been floating about since January therefore we will have sorted out who we'd be able to get in or not as to not run around like Liverpool begging any big name coach to come and have a crack at it. Levy wouldn't be so ill advised.

Is that the same Levy that's been chasing Rodgers up to and even after Redknapp didn't get the England call?

I'll tell you this much, if Liverpool didn't approach Rodgers and offer him such a good deal he was going to be manager of Spuds next season.

Sometimes I wonder if there isn't just an general condescending or snobbish attitude towards northerners from many Spurs fans. Why live up there, it's grim, it's poor, it rains all the time, it's nowhere near London. So there must be something wrong with fans of that Manchester club, and a vile intention from anyone wanting to be connected to it. We should just know our place.

It's not just them either, some Mancs I know have developed this attitude after spending too much time down there.

I may be way off the mark, but I just don't get the aggression from Spurs fans when it comes to City, and yet MU get love and respect. Plenty of Arse fans are the same, Charlton, West Ham fans are fine though, no problems.

Just my own observation, been getting a lot of grief recently so thought I'd vent.

I know plenty of Spurs that live up north for varying reasons, myself being one of them. To suggest that Spurs fans have ill feelings towards the north more so than other London club's fans is a bit of a bizarre suggestion in my opinion. Have you met two or three Yiddo's that were perhaps a bit overzealous with banter and you've taken that on board as Spurs fans are racist against northerners?

I'm sorry if I've misunderstood your post here

Apology accepted, you complete weirdo!

If I've misunderstood it, would you care to clarify what you mean then? It isn't clear.

Still recovering from the disappointment of Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory, Tottenham Hotspur have been left with effectively worthless mugs celebrating their 'qualification' for the 2012-13 tournament.
Spurs qualified for the world's biggest club competition after finishing fourth in the Barclays Premier League last season.
But Chelsea's historic Champions League success in Munich two weeks ago saw the Blues advance to next year's competition as England's fourth representative, relegating Spurs to the second-tier Europa League.
So what are Spurs to do with their Champions League paraphernalia?
Undeterred by their misfortune, they've decided to sell their Champions League mugs anyway, at a discounted price.
The mugs are available to purchase for the bargain basement price for £1, down from the original price of £5.
Rather than be embarrassed by the sale, Spurs seem to be having a joke at their own expense.

"Great for use at home or for starting banter at work," the club's website says.
So if any Arsenal fans want another way to celebrate the misfortune of their neighbours, or if any Spurs supporters want to ponder what could have been as they sip their morning cuppa, head to Tottenham's website to snap up a bargain.

What kind of odds did you get for Jose not joining us?! Can't imagine you'd have earnt more than 20p to be honest.<br /><br />-- Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:32 pm --<br /><br />

You obviously don't remember but there was a thread in here somewhere about Mourinho going to Spurs and I pledged to donate £20 (or maybe £50 I forget) to a Spurs fan site if it ever happened - such was the ridiculousness of the idea.

If I've misunderstood it, would you care to clarify what you mean then? It isn't clear.

Simply put, if a player comes to City it can only be for money. If a player goes to sunny North London, it's to play for the greatest club in the greatest city. A certain obsession with money and a narrow perception of class and wealth. United fit that narrow perception perhaps more closely.

It's an observation from my own experience, as I made clear. If you think I'm utterly wrong to believe anyone is like this then fair enough. I wasn't accusing anyone of racism, bit weird that you went there frankly - do you believe northerners are a different race to southerners? Interesting point of view.

I didn't hear anything of Rodgers going to Spurs either. Nothing official from Swansea then or now.

Maybe some random fans have inside knowledge of other clubs

 

[hertsblue]

Christ, should rename Sky Sports News to Arry Sports news after last 24 hours. Manages to find a camera on a gold course.
Views on everything and "bah wah give me a contract"

As you are on a City forum, may be it would be advisable to treat us with respect rather than making snide comments.



Spurs fans are always telling us that our club and my fellow Blues lack 'class'. Yet yesterday, your manager tries to exert pressure on your Chairman on the day Levy is burying his mother. Classy.

Also suggesting England should at least make the semis. No pressure on Woy then, not that I have any sympathy for him either considering he doesn't seem to think the first choice right back of the current champions is not good enough to make his squad.

 

[GHoddle]

That's one reason why many of us want him gone. Man lacks class imo, only cares about his own publicity.

I've never said that City fans lack class, but don't mistake Spurs for our manager!

That's all I'm going on. I'm not saying there aren't people who have such thoughts, but to have a pre concieved opinion on what the majority fanbase of an football club believes is nonsensical. I think once again a tiny bit of banter was lost in translation, as it probably was in experiences with other Spurs fans judging by your earlier comments, don't worry, I wasn't genuinely pulling the racism card...

It's the same bitterness that all Spuds are currently going through, your failure to qualify for Champs League will cost your club with some major changes.

I don't really care what you believe to be honest, all i know and what i believe is your team's in the shit, it's hard to accept i know but keep your chin up.

Tbf, spurspinter isn't just one of the most level-headed Spuds on here, he's one of the most level-headed out of us all. We don't need the arrogance that is shown in the last part of the post, we aren't like that.

Yeah your right, the bit i've highlighted was uncalled for and i apologise, the rest stands though with it being the truth.

Just read Arry's comments. Pretty tough words.

Whats the general spurs concensus on this issue, Harry or Levy ?
