Has he had an accident?
:rofl: I thought YOU were gone
Has he had an accident?
Sometimes I forget we're all Yiddos on on here. Perhaps i've just been here too long, or i'm just going slightly mad.
He's a cock in his old age, is what he is.
I reckon HR will walk soon.
with a shovel probablyCome on, you're saying you can't imagine Harry saying "we need to hit Crouchy"
Or just getting fed up. Maybe a relaxing break fromn SC and his duties might improve his oput look. :wink:
I've just had a two-month break fishing and shooting dumb animals, some of the latter apparently more observant than you.
Why is it you think VDV's interview was "spun", but Modric's wasn't ? Is it because one fits your argument and one doesn't ?
Personally I believe VDV wasn't trying to damage Redknapp as he was a happy player at the time and expressing this, he just didn't realise how it would be perceived, especially when there have been similar things said as criticisms of Redknapp in the past.
That doesn't mean tha Modic's words were spun either. I have heard Redknapp himself say he wants us to play high tempo pressing football - after Barca's reserves gave us a lesson at Wembley in 2008.
And we all know that Redknapp does do tactics. We've seen his diamond formation at Chelsea, his telling Sandro not to score goals etc. (that's a joke by the way).
It's just that his attempts at them are often rudimentary and ill prepared and leave us weaker rather than stronger and there are numerous examples of this.
And what VDV alluded to was Redknapp's lack of preparation, what Modric alluded to was Redknapp's alleged philosophy. Hardly contradictory statements. He may well want us to press the ball high up the pitch, but we clearly don't most games, what is evident at times is a definite lack of preparation - even basic things like set pieces and marking.
They both may very well be true, and what VDV says may well be the reason why what Modric says doesn't actually happen.
As a matter of fact, some posters were worried that you had croaked it, SpurSince57.

The original poster is/was happy to PM one of the mods to verify where he got his info from, has he.....? TBH if he has then it's no different to what the ITK lot post in the RO section as it's all hearsay.
For what it's worth I don't believe a word of it and you all know what side of the fence I sit regarding our current management.....

How do you interpret VdV's comments on Redknapp and Mourinho?
How about one manager didn't pick him and the other did ? Mind blowing concept I know, but even with your very rudimentary grasp of football, you should be able to make that leap.
It's clearly blown yours, but then there's not too much of yours to blow, is there? I was rather reminded of you when picking up dead rabbits and wood pigeons, but they had more brains than you even after they'd had a soft-nosed .22 round put through their silly little skulls.
And of course, you inevitably fall back on your, 'You know nothing about football.' Such originality! I enjoyed the 'rudimentary', too. Another long word you can employ in addition to 'hamburger', and it so aptly describes your grasp of so many things, starting with the English language.
Now, come on, tell us about the great football Spurs played under Ramos. You've done it before, you can do it again, and the rest of us need a good laugh.
Failing that, tell us what a good RB Hutton is.
For which I'm most gratified. Michaelden, however, appears not to have noticed my absence at all. This should surprise no-one.

Like I said I was told this and the info comes from someone close to the players and I would be happy to tell any mod privately where it came from. I am not putting it out there to be called a bulls*****r
