    Since we all seem to agree Spurs' strikers performed poorly last season,...

    ... then why have they not sacked Sir Les? Looks like they struggled right from the start of the season and the striking coach never was able to right the ship. Ferdinand still at WHL and no mention he will be replaced. WTF? :shrug: Sir Les does seem a likeable sort, but the results do speak...

    Preferred Relegation Teams for Spurs

    Okay, wet spam is already going down. But, who would you like to see relegated so Spurs have some players available on the cheap? Spammers got nothing Spurs want, but who else? Personally, I'd like to see Birmingham go down with Blackburn. That way Foster, Jones, and Samba will be available on...

    C'mon, BAE was going for a spin move...

    ... we've seen a million times. He was going to pivot his left foot on the ball and continue to drag it with his right. Just the WBA player slid in at the same time. In the replays you can clearly see BAE was spinning prior to the WBA player's arrival. The red was harsh, but these things...

    Mounir EL HAMDAOUI -- ANYONE REMEMBER HIM?

    Just one of those things that catches the eye. I was reading some footie news and stumbled on the fact that former Tottenham player Mounir EL HAMDAOUI leads the Eredivisie in scoring with 14 scored in 13 appearances. Not too bad, probably could've used him this season... Jol had a good one...
