    THE LEVY YEARS – TAKING US FORWARD OR HOLDING US BACK? PART THREE

    The rise of Man City is a real kicker for me. In 08/09 we finish 8th (51 points) and Liverpool finish 2nd (86). Then in 09/10 we get our first CL finish (70 points) whilst Liverpool decline is dramatic as they finish 7th (63). We were in the perfect position to pick up "their" CL spot for the...

    ARSENAL v SPURS: Match Thread

    Townsend has a bad habit of ambling back at his own pace when the other team counter.

    AVB

    If Siggy, Hudd and Dempsey are the answer that that must be some seriously fucked up question. I feel sorry for the guy. The type of players he's publicly shown an interest in (Oscar, Modric, Moutinho and Willian) are all dynamic, technically gifted footballers. The three we played most of...

    Harry Redknapp's first interview since leaving Spurs

    A fair few interesting things from that interview. One wonders that as he wasn't distracted, had a better squad than arsenal and he's the best coach around how he managed to finish below arsenal. Ahhh bad luck.... Other point was the revisionism on moving modric to the middle. He was...

    Ledley King - A Legend Retires

    By far the best defender I've seen a spurs shirt. The man had it all. Pace, power and what stood out most composure. He just made it all look so freaking easy!

    The Goalkeeper Issue

    Nice to see Robbo still topping the list. For goals conceded outside the box that is! :) Brad is a decent solid goalie but for me but doesn't make many "world class" saves (highly objective I know). He's not going to cost us many points nor will he win many. I'd put a replacement GK at 4th...

    Bale at FB under AVB...?

    I've always liked the idea of Bale at FB, especially in a line up where there is so much space in front of him like a 4-3-3. I don't think Bale would buy into it for one second mind. Completely speculating of course but I think Bale believes himself beyond that position now. He can defend...

    Winning. Does it really matter?

    Putting aside the debate about where the money comes from and how it's raised the style of football is secondary I'd say. I do love the way we (sometimes) play football and get great pleasure in the "art" of it as opposed to the way a team like Stoke plays. However in the games against Milan...

    Anyone else think Sandro is better than Parker?

    Now he's getting some matches under his belt he's no longer getting booked in the first quarter of a match with mistimed tackles. This let's him impose himself and boss the other team all through the match without having to worry about another yellow. His tackling in the last couple of games...

    Newcastle - Should we be worried?

    They are playing great at the moment (Wigan thrashing aside) so we have to believe that they could win both their games and concentrate on doing just that in ours. I doff my cap to their head scout as well, some amazing signings. Cisse just looks incredible at the moment. 13 goals in 12 games...

    Dawson, Gallas & Kaboul

    I'd pick Kaboul over Dawson any day of the week. I think Kaboul is an all round package in the King mould. Strong in pretty much every area of defending. I admit sometimes his decision making isn't great at times but I think the same applies to Dawson. The difference for me is Kaboul has the...

    In the aftermath

    Agree with it all. I hope Harry agrees with your team too. I think that's the way we should be looking to line up for most of the games. Having Sandro and Parker at the base of the midfield give so much more freedom to the three in front. Allows them to move more freely over the pitch...

    Should we have paid 15m for Cahill?

    I'm not convinced Cahill is a massive upgrade on Kaboul/Dawson. He was effectively valued at around 25 million (considering his contract situation) and I wouldn't value him near that. I think brining Parker into the team and the return of Sandro will have a bigger impact to us defensively...

    Emmanuel Adebayor (signs on a Loan)

    I'm still fairly confident this'll go through. I think the international week and man city game coming up has meant that we haven't signed him already. There is less of a rush to get him in for games he can't play in. Obviously in an ideal world we'd have him in ready training with the...
