    Ratings against Fulham

    Gomes - 7 - very little to do but handled well. I hope two clean sheets in a row will boost his confidence. Hutton - 5 - did very little wrong but came off early. BAE - 7 - continues to look very calm and accomplished on the ball. I still worry about his occasional moments of madness. Gallas -...

    Ricky Villa book signing

    Just a reminder that this is happening tonight if anyone wants to come along and buy the book and get it signed by Ricky.

    Who really cares about Tottenham?

    When people talk about "maximising revenues" and "rebranding exercises" you know the wankers have won. When you start looking at football as a business model rather than as a sport then you're missing the point.

    Ricky Villa book signing

    Just to let you know that this Friday evening Ricky Villa will be signing copies of his autobiography 'And Still Ricky Villa' at The Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green (which is run by my mate Simon). It's a small independent bookshop 3 minutes walk from Turnpike Lane tube. Full details are...

    Van der Vaart wallpaper

    Hello. I haven't posted here in ages. Anyway, here's some nice Van der Vaart wallpaper I made, if any of you want it: http://www.themanwhofellasleep.com/rafael.jpg

    [Update 33] Roger Morgan re: Kaboul

    He was a dreadful, dreadful player.

    [Update 13] POTL re: Richards / Lennon Injury Update

    I am anti-Richard. I am many things.

    Times changing for the worse?

    Obviously, all abuse depends on context. As has been pointed out by other Jewish posters, Yid can be a term of affection or defiance when used by Jews, but can also be used as a term of abuse when directed at Jews. The problem for the authorities is that they rightly want to crack down on...

    Ledley King arrested!!

    I don't really understand why you're going out of your way to justify what Ledley did, even going to the lengths of coming up with hypothetical scenarios (maybe he was followed around by a magical dinosaur who spiked his drink but disappeared when the press arrived) to excuse it all. Ledley has...

    Harry's Alcohol Ban

    The key word is 'athletes'. Atheletes who actually win things, such as the GB Cycling team, made massive sacrifices to get to the top. This means training, looking after yourself and watching what you eat and drink. And they are willing to do it all because they know that being in peak...

    Harry's Alcohol Ban

    Kendall, I don't think Gazza is an alcoholic because he missed out on drinking when he was younger! He was drinking throughout large chunks of his football career. I would suspect that had he been given better drinking habits as a player, he might not have abused alcohol so badly when he quit...

    Ledley King arrested!!

    Rocksuperstar, I take your points, but my feeling is that footballers like Ledley should be professional enough to not put themselves in situations where any of this is likely to happen. Of course none of us are perfect. Of course all of us have at times gotten pissed and behaved like dicks...

    Ledley King arrested!!

    It doesn't matter whether the paparazzi are twats (they are) or whether the doorman is looking for a payday. Ledley's behaviour was inexcusable. You cannot control the press and you cannot control other people, but you can control your own behaviour, and Ledley lost control, big time. The...

    Ledley King arrested!!

    It's disappointing. Both Ledley's actions and everyone leaping to his defence. This is a professional footballer and the club captain. This is a player who has already made headlines for stumbling out of nightclubs, absolutely trolleyed. He should know better. The last time this happened (at...

    Is Lennon's good form worth £15M sitting on the bench?

    I don't think it's the competition that is driving Lennon on... after all, Bentley has not really provided any competition at all. Lennon was performing well below his best for about 18 months, through a combination of injuries, lack of confidence and playing in a struggling team. It's taken...

    Pav Better Than Berbs?

    Based on current evidence, Berbatov is a much better player than Pav. But we've hardly seen much of Pav as he's still adapting to the English game, and is also probably a bit knackered. I love his attitude, for a start. I think that a lot of posters here are looking at Pav through slightly...

    If you could buy one player this year

    I'd have to say Garrincha. Except that he's dead.

    Would it mean less to you?

    I'd rather Spurs beat Man Utd in the final, but my main hope is that we actually win the trophy, so in that sense Derby would be an easier game. Provided we don't field the reserves against Burnley and get hammered.

    Jamie Ohara Appreciation Thread

    I love the fellow. What I find quite amusing about some of the comments is the notion that a player can't improve. In the year or so that he's been in the team, O'Hara has already improved vastly. He can pass, cross the ball, tackle and score goals, and he's getting better all the time. In his...

    The Harry Effect

    I'm with Coyboy on this. I don't really care about Redknapp. If he turns out to be brilliant for Spurs, then I'll be happy and if he turns out to be sh*t then I'll be disappointed, but I don't have either massive expectations nor an enormous axe to grind. People keep going on about Harry's...
