    The end of the line

    Fair point. But it's because, as Houdini says further down, checking the site and the scores are part of the umbilical cord. Will that be severed? Who knows? It's the commitment to going to WHL week in week out, or more recently Europe, and the passion that used to make the week shitty after...

    The end of the line

    Oh dearie me. Sympathy? Self-pity? Self-justification? Do you really think I give a toss about any of that? I don't have to justify myself to anyone except my family. I don't need the validation of people I don't know. The reason I posted on a Spurs' site is self-evident. As for the timing...

    The end of the line

    Moronic platitudes and a tribalism rooted in what precisely? It's the vitriol and the cod 'I bleed Spurs' that make me giggle. So you're a 'fan' are you? Clearly you've never really learnt respect, which is one of the key points I raised. 32 years and hundreds of games entitles me to have a...

    The end of the line

    This is how it ends with a whimper and not a bang. I'm writing this certain in the knowledge that it means nothing, but for me, today, it marks the end of thirty years' supporting Spurs. I like the idea of writing this declaration of independence as a farewell to a club that once meant so very...

    Why we play 4-5-1 or "You don't know what you're doing"

    Ermm, sorry but you're way off the mark. The side Rob suggests is the right choice, currently, although I might put Dos Santos on in place of Lennon. Where is Modric, our best midfield player in your set up? How can you make a judgement on Pav when he's barely played for us or in the Prem? His...

    Run down on players vs Villa

    This is not hindsight, this is stating what we all knew/know. I was totally baffled that we failed to acquire a LW and a defensive midfielder in the window, to me the key positions we needed to address. Sod Bentley, I could have lived with Lennon down the right and would have applauded spending...

    Recommended online live Prem sites

    OK, I'm not talking about illegal streaming sites here, but I just wondered if anyone knew of any sites to watch Spurs live on, or is the whole thing sewn up tighter than Ferguson's wallet by Sky and Setanta? I've come across Premiershiplive.net which claims to be bona fide, but have no idea...

    David Bentley v Aaron Lennon: Dilemmas and contradictions

    The key point about all of this, as you identify, is that Ramos doesn't seem to value Lennon. Thta may be because he doesn't fit his vision for the future of the team, or his progress is not what he would wish, or simply that he's not quite good enough for the quality of team Ramos wants to...

    SPURS v AALBORG - Live Media Coverage

    Hats off, as ever, to Geez for going to the effort every match of sticking the info up. If I could buy the man a pint, I would.

    What does this CV tell you about Ramos

    There's no such thing as loyalty in the modern game, from any quarter. Wenger and Ferguson have stayed so long because they can't really improve on what they've got: massive clubs, total Board support, serious financial muscle. In turn, they deliver. You can bet yo' ass that if that ever...

    Recycling bin for bad attitudes

    Levy and Kemsley for smirking when we went 2-1 down against Getafe. Unfortunately for them they were caught on camera. Utter contempt for the pair of them. It makes me ashamed that they're associated with Spurs. At least Kemsley has sodded off to flog more houses off his barrow. ENIC will sell...

    667 - The Final Report

    I'd have Scott Parker like a shot. A natural leader and a decent footballer.

    667 - The Final Report

    Good fun, but I think the root analysis of this season is very simple: we shipped goals. A decent season could have been a great season if we'd keep it tighter. King's absence wasn't the whole story here either. I suspect next season will feature several much-improved teams, outside the top...

    An Evening with Dave Mackay and Bobby Smith - second half

    Great read. Cheers for the effort. I've always wanted a copy of that photo of Mac. Anyone know where you can get hold of one?

    Cometh the Moment, Cometh the Man...

    I think the main issue is simply would removing Jol be any better for the club? A revolving door policy for managers encourages turmoil. It also presupposes that a better candidate exists. I defy anyone to propose a replacement that would realistically come/be able to come to Tottenham and...

    Good to hear some first-hand tales about one of our true greats. Thanks for the post. Dare I aks why was he taking a young girl out to a club, while his wife was away??!!

    I am a Spurs Fan! Get me outta here!

    dontcallme, I agree with you about our performance against United...but. When we lose against the top four I don't mind too much. When we lose or draw with poor sides, however, I mind a great deal. The failure of our young team to put sides away has cost us a lot of points. As much as Ledley...
