    La Liga file FFP complaint against City & PSG

    Can’t see them getting very far, though. Plus, being the league with Real and Barca playing fairly fast & loose with financing rules doesn’t exactly give them the moral high ground, much less the legal one.

    "Son Heung-min is still not world-class."...

    ... is the kind of comment that is usually followed by an invitation from a Spurs fan to meet in a convenient car park for further discussion. However, when it is his father saying it, you have to take notice. On Saturday 11 June 2022, an extensive interview with Son Woong-Jung, the father in...

    League Two Play Off Final: Mansfield v Port Vale

    Anyone else watching (he asks, fully expecting this thread to die on its arse)? Looks like it’s all over after 35 minutes, because Port Vale are 2-0 up and Mansfield’s Ollie Hawkins has been sent off. His first booking was outrageous - he seemed to be holding a PV player by the face before...

    Is 5th place good enough for a CL place?

    Looking on UEFA.com this morning, there are a number of changes mentioned. I saw this: Does that mean the PL now has five CL places? Another change says that the national cup (so FA Cup) winners no longer automatically qualify for the Europa League.

    The FA fixture list 2014-15

    No doubt everyone is on the Spurs Chat forum poring over the PL schedule for the upcoming season, so I thought the intelligentsia on GF ;-) would appreciate some info on what is happening in the wider world of football. While looking for the list of FA Cup fixtures, I found this very useful...

    Return Of The Headcam Stewards!

    Yes, it's me again, living up to my username, with another thread about an email I've received from the club. In brief: the Chant Police will be out in force again tomorrow night at WHL, looking to record, evict and ban anyone singing what the club call "The Arsene Wenger chant". From what I...

    Message to SC from the club...

    ... about tomorrow night's game. I got an email from the Spurs Press Manager about tomorrow night's game, who asked me to post it on SC. Guess what it's about? That's right, 'unsuitable chanting'. :wink: The message says that our fans will be 'closely watched', and if what they refer to as...

    Dimitri Payet

    Clicky. Talksport seems to have come up on the rails in terms of rumours. I don't recall them running so many leading up to previous windows, but maybe they've seen how many hits their site gets when they do. Time will tell if they are talking sport or spouting tripe, but at least they are...

    The Return Of Dave! (Vincenzo Iaquinta)

    He's back! The SC Rumour Forum favourite Vincenzo Iaquinta, first linked in the January 2006 window, and dubbed 'Dave' by SC's ever because of his unpronouncable name. IMScounting says he's back on our radar...

    I have been asked by the club to bring the following to your attention... Full story Judging by some of the other threads on here, I would say this advice may come a trifle too late for some. :wink:

    BAE interview in the Mirror

    Found this today, thought some here might like to read it: Never knew Benny was a Star Wars fan. Does this mean even the players think the Goons' home is the Death Star? Interesting comments about Ramos too. Doesn't seem like he was popular at all.

    Legendary Millwall thread!

    I'm surprised to see SC hasn't got a thread with a link to this hilarious thread on Millwall's House Of Fun message board: http://www.hof.org.uk/showthread.php?t=2403 It's about a guy who can't work out how his season ticket works. It had around 15,000 views this morning. It's now reached over...

    The Just-Past Half-Term Report

    It's the end of the year, and a good time to take a look at Spurs' progress so far in the Premier League compared to last season. To do this, I have re-ordered last seasons fixtures so they are the same as the sequence in which we played each particular team home and away this season. So to...

    Life imitates art - Ever's time has come!

    The story so far: It's January 2006 and Spurs are linked to Italian forward Vicenzo Iaquinta. But it's far too difficult to pronounce. So in a moment of inspired genius, SC poster Ever decides to call him "Dave". Now read on... From today's BBC Gossip page: :rofl: You couldn't make it up...
