    Stamina issues or anomaly?

    Hello! Delighted with our storming run and great squad. Happy days! However, I couldn't help but notice that we seem to fall away in 2nd halves - thought I'd check it out. Find below a 2nd half league table. http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/PR/sndhalf.html A bit concerning...

    Rafa Benitez - not a very nice bloke

    Another slightly bizarre petulant statement http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/8414887.stm "the referee was perfect!" - nothing compared to his previous rants but I do believe he's losing it. Has the man ever given another team credit? Or lost with good grace? Mourinho...

    New rules on Season Tickets?

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or already posted. My old mate from work and I went to every game for 2 years but he left for Australia a year ago. A mutual freind took over duties and paid for the other season ticket last year and the same deal continues this year. Both the tickets are...

    How much did appointing Redknapp cost us?

    Tried looking for a thread on this - but was wondering how much this has set us back. I seem to remember Ramos being one of the highest paid club managers in the world at 5.5mill a year I'm assuming a 5 year contract (worst case) Then there's the 5 million compensation to Portsmouth. No...

    Not a bad 2nd XI

    Don't you just hate international week? Too much thinking time! Anyway I was just thinking about whether we've had ever had a stronger second string. Here's my assumption on the 1st XI - I actually think Ramos eventually settle on this when everyone is available (please don't all go nuts...

    Defensive record

    Understandably, all the talk has been of forwards for the past two months. I'm as pissed off as the next man as to the Keane/Berba outcome. We've lost a quality pair of forwards. No argument. However, they were both pretty awful in their defensive duties (Keane loved shirking a challenge...

    Stuff economics: make a stand

    Hi all, Just wondering what your views are on this crazy theory going around: tell Manure to piss off, tell Berba to piss off to the reserves and continue to let him train with the kids until he a) grows up and stops moaning b) signs a new contract with us I write as someone who's worked...

    Pete Gill on F365 - pretty scathing

    A bit OTT - he loves nothing better than ripping into us, but don't entirely disagree.: http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8742_4002091,00.html Tottenham Hotspur Same old Tottenham? Not quite. The Spurs side defeated at Middlesbrough this weekend contained just two of the eleven...

    Questions for Glenn Hoddle

    My mate and fellow ST holder has a friend who will interview the great man for 442 Magazine. He asked me if I had any questions. I feel all the obvious ones have already been asked so was wondering if anyone had anything a bit different. I couldn't think of any apart from: 1. Were you a...

    Season review - from F365

    I quite like the site - they're anti-everyone which is kind of amusing. Agreed with a lot of the article below. Especially the last line. http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8750_3573220,00.html Spurs What went wrong The board embraced a sporting director/manager structure without...

    Anyone watch that programme on the Spurs-Arsenal rivalry last night?

    On ITV4 at around 9pm. Was actually pretty good, mentioned loads of shenanigans (Campbell, Pat Jennings, Terry Neil) - didn't mention the parrot though.:-) Was hard not to get wound up when watching that smug twat Henry saying that we'll never win the title at Highbury. The guy from the...

    Calzaghe v "The Executioner" Hopkins

    Massive fight Saturday night - though it is getting nowhere near the hype of Hatton Mayweather. Very hard to call this one. Hopkins is more celebrated and hasn't lost in around 14 years! Calzaghe has never lost. Neither are huge punchers but both very technical. Hopkins (orthrodox) is 43 but...

    Steven Gerrard "fixer"

    Perhaps Sir Steven Gerrard TM "best player in the world ever" was paid to play like utter guff at Euro 2004, WC 06, Qualifiers for Euro 2008. Ok so not that kind of "fixer" but still. Also check out the bit I highlighted.:-) http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/7341485.stm Steven...

    Worst penalty decision you remember?

    Think the goon filth were a little unlucky last night. :cheers: Got me thinking about the worst decision/non-decision: I remember an FA Cup quarter-final between Man U and Man City in 1994 (or 96?) United were 1-0 down and being thoroughly outplayed by a Kinkladze-inspired City. Then they...

    Counter-attacking issues

    Watching the Man City Game I noticed 3 or 4 occasions where we had a break on. Each time we dithered until their team was back in position (i.e. 10 men behind the ball and all organised). This was a few days after wasting similar opportunities against PSV. This got me thinking - apart from the...

    Who regulates/polices the FA?

    I think the consensus is that they are amateurs - I agreed 100% with Steve Gibson. Doesn't everyone? They're spineless self-serving buffoons. But who employs them? Who is in charge? Who fires them? Who decided that an fat ex-BBC sport guy should choose the England manager? Who said "ok...

    The Linesman Appreciation Thread

    Was at the game and this was one of the best days of my life. But it could have been so different if it weren´t for the linesman (couldn´t find out his name). Halsey the ref gave almost everything the way of Chelsea (including an astonishing 7 mins of injury time in extra time). I´m sorry I...

    Genuine ITK (cock on ball podcast)

    For those who don't listen to this weekly show one of the presenters (Dave or Scott) got to see Spurs train on Monday. - Ledley grimaced, shrugged and said "yes" when asked if he'd make the CC final. i.e. his words said yes but everything else said no - Dawson said "hopefully but we'll wait...
