Keaton always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me ...is starting next season with Townsend still here.

He must be causing a lot of unrest at the club, as for me, I would have kept him an impact player. I would have liked to have seen him AND Song come on yesterday against Newcastle. Crystal Palace show what you can do with 2 pacey widemen. He's probably only on about £20 a week as well... is their much between him and Nje from what we've seen so far?

No, but if Njie is still at the same level in two years time he'll be well gone. AT has had 3/4 years to impress...

I'd think a club like Leicester might suit Andros...

Have you had some sort of Rip Van Winkel moment and woken to find yourself in Spurscommunity circa 2015?
I'm just getting fed up of keyboard warriors. Disagree with people by all means but resorting to pathetic name calling and put downs is beyond childish and unesesary.

Doesn't matter if he's young and English. £8m is thievery by us if that's what they pay, because he's not done much in the last two years. Only reason he's looked at any higher than your 'bog standard' decent young British players like Wickham or Colback is because he plays for a bigger club and had a couple of good international games.

And runs fast.
In football, fast is like "ooh, shiney"

The planning permission was for the amendments, not the stadium. If they were declined another alteration would have had to have been submitted. Buildings the stadium wasn't in doubt. It was the latest additions.
MattSpur - mot sure you're replying to my Townsend comment! :) LOL
