    Free the Keane 1

    Having watched Ireland dominate but struggle to finish with a draw away to Slovakia following a Keane failure to connect enough with a great cross, having a penalty saved (well placed but no power), failing to control a clearance (which would have lead to a goal chance had it been controlled...

    Will Park Lane be homeless?

    Talking to the young fella the other day about Park Lane, Shelfside, Paxton, and all that.. a thought came to me ...where will Park Lane go with the new stadium being built. Paxton will switch to the south side of the stadium and ... Park Lane will be deceased? A dead parrot? No more...

    The H1N1 Swine Flu and Squads

    Reading the thread about comments from Liverpool fans, one of them said that Redknapp would swap Keane, Defoe, Crouch and Pav (all of them) for Torres. Another post a picture of a lasagne... referring to the food poisoning, gastroenteritis, spoonful of virus bacteria, whatever coincidently...

    Redknapp must go

    What's going on. No summer discontent other than a few daggers being thrown at Keane for not tackling enough. Tut Tut. How long will it be before we have a run of poor results or perhaps lose the run of ourselves and start complaining that we haven't secured a top four slot and Redknapp must...

    So what was really wrong about Jol?

    Sorry to raise the dreaded J word, but a good Spurs mate can't stand Redknapp or Jol. But he has never explained his position conviningly. It's a bit too early to be calling time on Harry; I'm sure he'll get us out of this mess and might even win a cup or two. So without wanting to attract...

    Goalkeeper and Defense

    Just thought I'd have a look at how our Gomes and the defense is doing in comparison to other goalkeepers teams. Taking figures from January 5th 2009. Keeper- Saves-Shots-Save %-Keeper Rank-Team-League Posn: Cech-43-52-82.7%-1-Chelsea-2 Schwarzer-60-74-81.1%-2-Fulham-9 Van der...

    Gomes one of the top goalkeepers?

    Back in 06-07, Robinson had a shot saving % of circa 62% ranking him 19th, at a time when Spurs had a defense that was 6th in terms of allowing shot on goal. Here in the middle of 08-09, Robinson has a shot saving % of of circa 61% ranking him 19th with a defense ranked 10th. Gomes has a...

    Hutton off the pace

    Is it my imagination of was Hutton totally of the pace? He was obviously at fault for their 4th, so much so that you'd almost expect an investigation. But for the other goals he left his man go and allowed free headers and crosses to be made when the danger should have been snuffed out in...

    Hamburg & Spurs

    Hamburg top of the Bundesliga, Spurs bottom of the Premier. Not exactly what we had in mind when Ramos was brought in to replace Jol.:shrug: Some thought Jol lacked tactical skills..... doing pretty well in Germany for a guy that doesn't know anything about tactics. I'm not jumping on...

    Have we got a better strikeforce now?

    Having sold off Defoe/Keane/Berbatov for circa £60 million, and waved goodbye to their 60 odd goals per season, and set ourselves up with Bent and Pav for circa £30 million and their 30, or is it 60, odd goals per season, have we got a better strikeforce? Don't think so. If Ramos gets us...

    Boro away,a great game to start reality with.

    After a preseason that was almost Disney (except for the loss of Keane); a trip up North is a great game to start reality with. A good win up north and it sends a strong signal that Spurs mean business. Lose and a few bubbles burst and reality bites us in the ass. Draw and .....well who...

    Sell to Man U is Good, to Liverpool is Bad.

    Selling Berbatov to Man United is Good: They will stop ar5ena1 winning the league, they're going to be top two in anycase so are not rivals of Spurs, plus Berbatov has less than 2 years left in his contract, if he wants to go he can. Selling Keane to Liverpool is bad: They can stop Spurs from...

    Will Spurs do a Jennings again?

    Back in the summer of 1977, as if getting relegated wasn't bad enough, Burkinshaw decided tell Pat Jennings was too old at 31 years old, and he was not required to travel on the preseason tour or indeed required for the coming season.:omg: Concerned about doing the best for his kids at school...

    How to be a top four side

    Before the start of the season Jol said that Spurs were not a Top 4 Side yet and that it would take another season or two. Perhaps this was Jol's fundemental flaw. He didn't believe, so the players didn't believe. Jol was a very good manager who failed in winning positions: 4th place versus...

    Is it about money or trophies?

    There are quiet a few on Spurscommunity that would prefer 4th place over winning a cup because it brings in more money and their logic goes that more money means more what ... cups???? More money for Spurs means more money for the major shareholers who will be long gone in a few years on the...

    Who's dumb idea was it to parade the cup?

    Who's dumb idea was it to parade the League Cup before the PSV match? Here we were about to face the run away leaders of the Dutch league, fighting for a spot in the last 8 of the UEFA cup and only 3 more teams to beat to win the UEFA Cup, and somebody has the brainwave to parade the League...

    Spurs Glory : Thank you Martin Jol.

    It is great to see the glory days return to Spurs. Alas we still have days like Birmingham. But while Ramos deserves great credit for fostering that winning mentality that pushed Spurs over the hill to defeat l'arse and chelski in the League Cup, I believe Martin Jol still deserves some...

    1 all: was the best possible result

    We got through.:clap: Robinson got a game and was arguably the hero of the night.:bowdown: No major injuries. :grin: Very few exerted themselves last night, perhaps O'Hara was the only one sweating at the end, and he did himself no harm with another good performance. :clap: The team got...

    Our most important game?

    From browsing through the posts you would get the feeling that it's the Carling Cup Final, but lose the game and tie to Slavia Prague on Thursday and Sunday's game gets so much harder. Right now the most important game is Slavia Prague. I only hope that the players are staying focussed. Start...

    Are we nearly there?

    Should have beaten Liverpool at Anfield (last mininte goal). Buried l'arse at the Lane; and should have beaten them at the Emirates. Should have beaten Man United at the Lane (last seconds). And about to beat Chelsea at Wembley :pray:. The arrival of Woodgate and Hutton will surely continue to...
