He certainly has.

I've had a Barcelona pennant on my bedroom wall since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, but now I look at it with disdain because of spursandbarca.

I agree about liking Barca less than before but that definitely doesn't mean I will support that joke of a club they are rivals with.

I really want Real to wipe the floor with Barca this season, solely because of Spursandbarca and his halfwitted ramblings on here.

Lol, you support Juventus, the biggest joke on the planet.

I think Juve have a great side and have done fantastically well since getting relegated and losing half their squad.

Tottenham Hotspur will make a last-ditch attempt to bolster their squad before the transfer window slams shut by bidding for Real Madrid midfielder Rafael van der Vaart.

Spurs’ boss Harry Redknapp watched playmaker Luka Modric fracture his fibula in yesterday’s 2-1 win over Birmingham City, and the Croatian faces months of rehabilitation to be able to return to action.

Redknapp will want to act quickly to maintain the momentum of his side’s excellent start to the season, and according to reports from Spain, he has earmarked the Dutchman as an ideal replacement.

Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini has already issued a warning to Van der Vaart that he does not see the former Ajax man a part of his long-term plans, and if an offer came in the club would allow him to negotiate his exit from the Santiago Bernabeu.

Van der Vaart moved to Madrid in the summer of 2008, but had limited impact upon his arrival as Barcelona clinched the Primera Division crown.

Goal.com Spain comments that the English Premier League club will launch a €15m bid to lure the 26-year old to White Hart Lane, but time is against them, with the window due to close within the next 48 hours.

I would love Van der Vaart. I doubt we'll get him tbh. But if we dont then get Kranjcar instead.

Modric injury + real madrid looking to offload VdV = someone knocking up a story that sounds plausible IMO.

Would be amazing if true, VdV is a superb player.

But didn't they leave him off the registration list? I can't see him staying if he isn't going to play.

he wasn't awarded a squad number yes, but players have left and perez has changed his mind.

vdv got his old jersey number 23 back.

OK. I wasn't aware of that, but I believe you. Did they already have to register the players for the CL? Was he in the squad?
