I'd actually love for Spam to bid for Kane, us show "interest" in accepting an increased offer, run them until 1st of September and then give them the middle finger.







:finger: just like that.

Levy wouldn't even answer the phone.

Of course he wouldn't. The person you're talking to, has to know how to use a phone in order for you to be able to answer a call from them.

Rawk is predicting how we'll perform and finish this season:

« Reply #2440 on: May 28, 2016, 09:16:01 AM »

Playing their champions league games in Wembley next season.

« Reply #2441 on: May 28, 2016, 09:17:17 AM »

Shit one for them playing there.

« Reply #2446 on: May 28, 2016, 09:42:31 AM »

Arsenal learnt the hard way playing at Wembley isn't a good idea.

« Reply #2447 on: May 28, 2016, 10:14:32 AM »

They're going out in the group stages then.

« Reply #2456 on: June 28, 2016, 06:19:33 PM »

Kane will have a mountain to overcome, mentally.

He's frankly embarassed himself at the Euros unfortunately. Had high hopes for him at the tournament, but he must wish he'd never gone.

« Reply #2457 on: June 28, 2016, 06:27:22 PM »

They will all be fine back under Potch & in the Spurs surroundings.

The team last season was hyped by the media beyond belief leading to unrealistic expectations... They dropped points in as many games as the won last season which is average.

« Reply #2460 on: July 22, 2016, 03:42:43 PM »

Poch to be offered the Argentina job?

« Reply #2461 on: July 22, 2016, 06:21:55 PM »

That would be a nice bonus. Would be very hard for the lad to turn down that job, i would think and he has in the past stated he would like to coach the national team.

I would think Spurs would struggle to find a decent replacement and then whoever it is would need to integrate.

Wouldn't Mourinho like to manage the Argies...?

« Reply #2462 on: July 23, 2016, 12:48:35 PM »

Also, realistically, how far can he take Spurs? Getting them to third was an incredible feat. That's a once in a lifetime league finish for Tottenham, there's very little chance of a repeat in the near future and no chance at all of winning the Premier League or anything else of significance there.

He might want to have one good run at the Champions League group stage, see if they can get to the last 16, but otherwise any serious ambition is going to stall at some point.

Could be the perfect time to move on, do the international thing for a few years, with some great quality players, and then see what club jobs open up from there. I assume the man wants to win the big trophies, and he's clearly not at a club that can ever deliver them.

« Reply #2463 on: July 23, 2016, 02:16:20 PM »

Not a bad shout, but definitively believes that he wants to see this project continue for a bit more, and I personally doubt his stock will be worth much less in 2-3 seasons with not so much more than a few CL seasons in his bag.

« Reply #2464 on: July 23, 2016, 02:24:55 PM »

I think it would be easy for him at this stage of his career to turn it down. He's still young and would probably be able to use last season at Spurs to push him into another top job at a European club.

how people can say this after Leicester just won the league is incredible. Also, it wouldn't bode well for us, given league finished compared to spurs recently

« Reply #2468 on: July 24, 2016, 09:39:08 AM »

Ridiculous to claim Spurs have zero chance of winning the league if you're a Liverpool fan. Especially after last season.

It's extremely unlikely of course. They lack a certain steel and they lack the gravitas of some of their rivals, which makes it difficult to retain the players and maintain cohesion of other clubs. But a quality manager who can sell the project to transfer targets and build on a solid foundation can make the difference.

« Reply #2470 on: July 24, 2016, 02:30:19 PM »

I don't think Spurs have a ceiling with the new ground coming. They're already a very big club, they have a very good team, they seem to have reasonable funding whilst the development is going on and a new stadium in London along with the a supporter base who pay top dollar.

They're just going to get bigger and bigger and there's no reason that within a very short space of time they won't become the biggest club in London. Particularly with Roman and Kronke seemingly tightening there belts or not opening them as much as they should do in Kronke's case.
« Reply #2471 on: July 24, 2016, 02:35:34 PM »

Still think they will be a long way off Chelsea & Arsenal. Interested to see who comes out on top between them & West Ham. Spurs have the better squad but West Ham have the stadium first & none of the financial burden that usually comes with it.

« Reply #2472 on: July 24, 2016, 02:36:23 PM »

Spurs can't win the league because that would mean having to finish above Arsenal.
They need to get to CL again though to try and become a long term fixture there, if they miss out , they'll use Kane and Alli next summer to help finance the stadium, big season for Spurs.

« Reply #2473 on: July 24, 2016, 02:40:33 PM »

I see Spurs as a much bigger club than West Ham with a much bigger supporter base.

I should have also added the training facilities Spurs have at the newly built Spurs Lodge which is quite frankly, outstanding.

I've posted about these in the past but for me, their facilities, along with City's are far and away the best in the country by some distance. With Spurs having an even classier looking set up than City in my opinion.

On a side note with regards to West Ham, they're training facilities are as poor as I've seen for an established Premiership club.

« Reply #2475 on: July 24, 2016, 03:09:17 PM »

They are going to be a long way off the title this season no chance they have the season they did last season, plus a lot of the other teams have got better managers now Chelsea have Conte, Utd have Mourinho at the start of his reign instead of year three, City have Pep, we got Klopp who has had pre season to work with the players along with bringing in his own ones and Arsenal have the stable Wenger in charge don't see Spurs finishing ahead of any of those sides they will be competing with Leicester, West Ham and Everton for the right for who finishes 6th.

Champions League is going to have a big effect on these as in the Europa League last season they were tanking that tournament and focusing on the league, doubt they will be resting players in the Champions League which is the world's biggest club competition.

Spurs will be 6th at best slim chance of finishing 5th, very unlikely to finish in the top four and not a chance they finish anywhere near top three and pressure will crack up on Pochettino because of what he achieved last season.

« Reply #2477 on: July 24, 2016, 03:49:02 PM »

Think they`ll be up there challenging again but it`s gonna be so difficult for them to improve as Pochettino squeezed 1000% out of every single player last season and the three players they brought don`t look likely to get into their first XI and improve them. The leap they made last season was easier as initially there was a lot of room for improvement but now with added games and pressure I`ll be surprised if they make another step-up.

They still lack that electrifying pace in their front 4 - a Mane type of player to help them out with transitions and to give them balance in the final third. IMO they`re probably gonna be in the same vicinity points wise as last season for which they`ll need to repeat their incredible health record.

« Reply #2479 on: July 24, 2016, 05:03:05 PM »

The only way I can see them stepping it up from where they are is if one of their attacking midfielders suddenly blows up and starts scoring a huge amount, or they bring in someone who can get a lot of goals. If anything, with the CL games they've got and Vertonghen injured at the moment they'll have difficulty matching last season. They had Europa football then of course but you can put a pretty weak squad out for a lot of those, CL group games are much tougher.

« Reply #2480 on: July 24, 2016, 05:07:07 PM »

They didn't really take the EL seriously last season. They also were heavily reliant on Kane and were fortunate that he avoided injury. A long-term injury and/or a dip in form for him and I think they could be in trouble. I think realistically they are competing for a 5th/6th spot. I'm not sure that they have the requisite depth necessary to compete on all fronts.

« Reply #2481 on: July 24, 2016, 07:47:00 PM »

They have signed a competent backup for Kane, so that is no longer an issue. Personally, I can see them finishing ahead of Arsenal and Manchester United next season.

« Reply #2482 on: July 24, 2016, 08:09:09 PM »

Janssen is very much unproven at this level. We've seen very mixed results from players who score regularly in the Eredivisie.

« Reply #2484 on: July 24, 2016, 08:13:33 PM »

He is a hard working striker, so he should be OK. Definitely better than anything they had as a backup for Kane last season.

« Reply #2493 on: July 24, 2016, 08:41:36 PM »

I thought they would make some bigger moves than a Dier & Kane backup even if they are v.good backups and will be useful with the CL commitments. An upgrade at left back, creative wide player or pacey forward to me looked the obvious choices... Especially a pacey forward as tried with the likes of Son & N'Jie last summer. They must be wary of the likes of United, City & Chelsea easily catching them with the quality they are bringing in manager & player wise.

« Reply #2498 on: July 24, 2016, 09:52:57 PM »

They actually have a pretty good situation at left fullback with Rose and Davies. Just because they are not signing any big names, it doesn't means that they are not creating a good and balanced team. Just like ourselves.

« Reply #2499 on: July 24, 2016, 09:53:46 PM »

I think they will have a better season than last year tho, why wouldn't they?? There young side has had a few seasons together now, they're manager's had a season working his squad also. Personally I think they're small squad cost them last year. They're signings this season whilst not improving there best 11 certainly sort out their strength in depth issues which is what cost them IMO.

Their best 11 is as good as anyone and proved it last year in their performances when the big guns matched up. Their 2nd 11 with their new signings is starting to look lively as well.

Spurs currently playing Juventus in Melbourne CG, the top two tiers look empty. Jut saying that Liverpool sold this place out several years ago

If you ever needed a reminder about the status in world football that some of the other teams in the league have...

"Sleeping giants" my arse, to all of them.

« Reply #2532 on: July 26, 2016, 01:50:37 PM »

The "sleeping giants" thing is exactly that, though.

The phrase doesn't mean we're asleep as in we're a small club. It means precisely the opposite - that we're a huge club who are sleeping because our performances don't match our fanbase and global stature. Which is true - we're 5x bigger than Spurs as a club, but we're pretty much on the same level as them in the past few years, results-wise, and they're even slightly ahead of us over that period.

Fortunately we've finally hired a manager with a big-ass air horn and he's leaning over the giant's bed with his finger on the button.

I actually laughed out loud when they said we should upgrade left back. It's remarkable how underrated Danny Rose is, even after making the PFA Team of the Season last season. There is not a single left back we could afford or that would come that is better than him.

Inspired by the above post (edit: okay, the post above the above post then) I thought I'd go and see what they were saying on the "let's all laugh at Tottenham" thread on ArseMorons, and share here so you wouldn't have to. Well, they're mostly just discussing our kit o_O .

Although we now have an expert opinion on Janssen, based on the Juventus friendly:

"Janssen looks so slow and sloppy.

Looks a bit pudgy as well.

Essentially a ****ter Giroud, if that's possible."

Which is nice.

I love the mix of despair and delusion in this post on KUMB:

"I don't really understand why we are unable to sign a striker. There is something not quite right. Best stadium in the league; in the uefa cup; one of the best players in Europe. But we still can't attract a striker?"

I love that we will apparently struggle with the extra games despite the fact that the CL has two fewer games than the EL.

Another couple of highlights:

They need to get to CL again though to try and become a long term fixture there, if they miss out , they'll use Kane and Alli next summer to help finance the stadium, big season for Spurs.

Ignorance bordering on delusion. But then again they are Liverpool fans.

Still think they will be a long way off Chelsea & Arsenal. Interested to see who comes out on top between them & West Ham.

We've finished above Chelsea twice in the last 5 seasons and and West Ham have finished above us once since 2002. But lets not let facts get in the way.

I'm at the stage where I couldn't care less what other fans think of us. We have something we haven't had for a long time which is stability and an upward trajectory. Even if we don't go on to great things this season we certainly won't embarrass ourselves. Can they say the same?

The way I look at it, we're the only team in English football who over the last 20 years have steadily improved year by year, solidifying our foundations along the way. Every other team has gone up, down, up, down, or have stayed where they are. If we keep improving at this rate we could be a real force in 5-10 years.

A discussion has been taking place on another team's forum and one poster has just written the following sentence.

"Visit a Southampton or Spurs forum and you'll read about how they wish they had our forward options."

Is this

(a) a Manchester United fan, safe in the knowledge that they have Zlatan, Martial, Rooney and Rashford;
(b) a Liverpool fan, relatively content that they have Sturridge, Origi, Benteke and Ings; or
(c) an Arsenal fan, kidding themselves slightly that Sanchez makes up for Giroud, Walcott and Illbeck

Place your bets...

None of the above. It's (d) a West Ham fan. Honestly. FFS. I bloody despair of some people, I really do. Apparently, our having last season's top scorer in the English league and last season's top scorer in the Dutch league is just not good enough. Apparently, we'd far rather have the walking man bun and his two crap mates. I know it's a bit much to ask a West Ham fan to indulge in critical thinking, but really. Sheesh.
