    should keane have come on for the pen ?

    Keane may be lacking confidence right now but he is reliable from the spot.He has scored some pressure pens over the years. Defoe is not a reliable penalty taker- would it not have made sense for Keane to have come on ?

    Harry's worst selection decisions saved for the big 3

    Why does Harry choose games against the big 3 to make such poor team selections ?. Manure ( League ) . Played Keane at LM , Kranjcar on bench Chelsea- Switch to 3 man MF of Jenas- Hudd- Palacios Arsenal - repeated the same mistake despite our hammering at Chelsea Manure Cup - Switched...

    Lots of best of, worst of threads today so here's another. Rory Allen Neale Fenn Andy Booth Gregor Raziak Ian Moores David Jenkins Les Ferdinand ( let's face it he was crap for us ) Colin Lee Steve Slade Lee Barnard Gary Doherty Paul Stewart ( woeful up front ) Helder Postiga Bobby Zamora...

    if Redknapp does go would you want Jol ?

    There has to at least be a possibility that all the police activity will make it impossible for HR to continue. Remember how Pleat suddenly resigned when he was arrested ? How Hoddle left England suddenly ? How Venables did the same to focus on his court case ? There might come a point ( and...

    john duncan -most underrated spurs striker ?

    Looking at the scoring records of our strikers over the years I was reminded about John Duncan . 118 games, 62 goals. A scoring ratio only bettered since then by Lineker and Allen ( not by much ) and equal to Klinsmann. Better than Chivers, Archibald, Crooks, Falco, Sheringham, Armstrong...

    do parachute payments still exist ?

    There is no guarantee that new signings will keep us up. We are already facing huge losses if most of our squad have to be sold off cut price if we go down. There used to be parachute payments for clubs going down which meant that clubs going down would be ok for at least 1 year if they go down...

    what lasagnagate has done to us

    We all remember one match away from CL , our qualification in our own hands and then... LASAGNAGATE We would have qualified for CL and that would have meant Carrick would almost certainly have stayed and no doubt our fortunes early in 2006-7 would have been hugely different and we could have...

    freddie kanoute is NOT a yido

    Any remaining minute possibility of Kanoute ever rejoining us disappeaared when he displayed a support Palestinians T- shirt under his shirt after scoring for Sevilla. I can only imagine the reception he would have got if he had done that at the Lane. Daniel Levy would now I am sure block any...

    is defoe deal in jeopardy ?

    Can't believe this is true but according to Fox Soccer Channel ( not exactly BBC ) the deal is far from done because: 1. Spurs Pompey and JD still have not sorted out the 500k " loyalty bonus " being demanded by JD 2. Defoe has not agreed personal terms with us 3. Waiving the 12 month rule...

    defoe: can someone explain the 12 month rule ?

    I am still confused about the 12 month rule. I seem to remember Pompey originally signed JD on loan which converted to a permanent deal after the deadline. Does that mean we would have to sign him on loan first ? Also since he was signed on the last day of the deadline does that mean we cant...

    diamond shape ?

    Lots of threads about 4-4-2 but I dont think Modric should be withdrawn from an attacking role. How about this for MF and up front ? Corluka RM Lennon LM Bale or Ohara Modric Bent Pav OR Corluka RM Lennon LM Bale or Ohara Jenas or Hudd or Bentley Modric Pav

    are spurs and modric like boro and juninho ?

    When Boro were struggling against relegation they had one outstanding player - Juninho. He was brilliant. Too good for the rest of their team and they went down. Is Modric too good for his team mates ?

    only 7 goals scored at home

    In spite of massive improvement under Harry we have still scored only 7 goals in 8 games at home. This is really indicative of the flaws in our 4-4-1-1 system. Our midfielders dont get forward enough in support of our lone striker and Modric does not look like scoring enough to justify building...

    huddlestone as playmaker ?

    We are creating nothing. Ramos automatic choices Zokora and Jenas fail week after week after week. Everyone says Hudd is too slow. He is too slow for a DM position. But play him in an advanced position - that would be his strength as he is the only one who can do anything unpreditable, possibly...

    but who would be realistic candidates ?

    Ok, suppose Ramos goes. Who would we want and who is realistically available ?

    our ready made england international DM

    We already have a DM who has performed excellently there for his country - our very own oft- injured Ledley King. He also did the job pretty well for us in the past. Since it is being put forward by many that Woody and Corluka should be given a run of games together , then when Ledley is fit why...

    our relegation 6 pointers ?

    Wigan , Hull, Stoke, Bolton - these are 4 of our next 5 games. If we are still in the bottom 3 after those games then we will be in serious trouble. These really could be considered to be 6 pointers

    our ridiculous transfer dealings

    I just don't see how we are going to get any blend following our ridiculous summer transfer dealings. What we needed- 2 keepers 2 CD's to allow for King 's arthritis A top DM A good LM 3 new strikers to replace Bent, Berbs and Keane. What we got : 2 keepers 1 utility...
