Harry post match interview

[duffman22]

loved Harry's dig at all the amateur 'experts' who slagged him off for his shaktar team

especially nice for the amateur experts like me and others who backed him :smile:

Mate give it a rest.

 

[haxman]

Mate give it a rest.

He really believes it too mate. I'm on his "ignore list" which must include half the members on this site so he won't see this but the same "expert" can't see how average a player his beloved JJ is. Unreal.

I've just watched a bit more of that interview and i think he's referring to the fans who were interviewed on C5 last week at the game. They were moaning about the team selection and Harry's just confirmed that he sees the league as the more important, added to the fact that a whole bunch of players are ineligible for the cup anyway. He seemed a bit pissed off and i can't blame him. I genuinely think there are too many fans who are expecting too many things too quickly just because we're Spurs. They have to forget about our glorious past just for this season and recognise we've been shit since last season's cup final and a turnaround doesn't happen in the space of a couple of months.

Come on mate, The fans who travelled to the Ukraine have a right to their opinions. I don't like Harry, I'll admit that, but he's had a fair bit of time to do something and we still look shit. West Ham have been shit for as long as we have and yet Zola, a man with no top level managerial experience or prem experience has turned them around.
Harry should shut his mouth and make the team more functional. ATM we play shit football, and we still draw and lose too much.

I agree the fans who travelled have a right to voice their opinions but it doesn't make them right. Given the circumstances, i'm sure everyone agrees they'd rather have beaten Hull instead of Shaktar. Ideally we'd have beaten both but they're an excellent team anyway and we're rubbish this year so winning 2 in a row has been pretty unlikely all season. Add that to the possibility of one of our top players getting injured in Ukraine and missing important prem games, i think he made the right choice - this season only.

West Ham didn't have 2 points from 8 games when Zola took over, in fact, i think they were top 5 or 6 and the only reason Curbs left was politics. They were in pretty good shape when Zola took over but i agree he's done a great job there so far, even if it was shit for the first 7 or so games.

His style worked excellently last season for Pompey and i'm sure it'll work for us if he's given time to stamp his style on the club. The one thing he was very good at was making Pompey hard to beat, something which has been lacking in us for years and years. One of the first things he's done is to sign Palacios. Exactly what we needed. He knows what's needed at Spurs and i hope he's given time.

 

[DC_Boy]

hang on barry- are spam in a cup final - I think not

we've won six major trophies since they last won one - how can you compare them to us?

also what is Zola's ppg compared to harry

when he eclipses that and gets spam to a cup final - then start bigging up spam

though why you want to on here I know not

0-2 in their cup final i believe

 

[Ironskull]

Ironskull and Hakano - if you can't discuss your opinions more amicably, might I suggest you leave off posting until tomorrow when you've both chilled? Otherwise you might take it too far and find that you're on an SC vacation for a while. Thanks.

How about we have some discipline, and threads entitled, for example "Harry post match interview" bear some striking resemblance to just that, instead of wasting our time with a nasty tired old sarcastic rant?

You'd do well to display some common sense, climb off that fence of yours and exert some judgement.

 

[JerryGarcia]

West Ham have the same form as us from the last 6 league games (2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses) and we still have to play them at home so I wouldn't be surprised if we end up finishing above them to be honest. We had our worst ever start to a league season and we are only 5 points behind them.

As for Harry, let's at least wait until the end of the Shaktar match before we start sticking our head's in ovens. He is in a better position to pick the team than any of us.

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Harry should be happy we're talking about team selection for the UEFA Cup. Surely he doesn't want to us talking about how come after god knows how many years we still can't defend a bloody set piece? :shrug:

spot on, his new load of bollox beyond the 2pts in 8 games is "we've got small players" is he blind as well as stupid ? according to 'arry only woodgate and king/daws can head a ball, after that "we struggle", so my eyes deceive me and corluka isn't 6"4, palacios and jenas aren't 6"0 and bent, well of course he can't head the ball.....i'm sure he believes in the "if you talk bollox for long enough people will believe it" because that must be his tactic to deflect from the fact that in 5 months he hasn't managed to coach (does he know what that means?) the team to defend a set piece, pathetic.

still, i'll enjoy tonight's 3 points and say thanks to 'arry for that and like the mug i am i'll be at WHL on thursday to see our youth team beat shaktar donetsk before the trip to wembley on sunday where by some miracle we whip manure, after which of course 'arry will be a genius deserving of a knighthood. :wink:

COYS

Well i hope you've been this critical of our last 10/15 managers then 'cos our set piece defending has been dogshit (and that includes zonal) for several years, in fact, probably dating back to the Roberts era.

 

[am_yisrael_chai]

Bomber - i must just have very fond memories of Juande because i seem to recall that with zonal marking i didn't shit myself at every set piece. Still i'm sure you'll offer me stats to prove i'm wrong.

 

[spursandbarca]

he isnt the long term answer at all. lets jsut stay up. pray for a miracle on sunday.


sack him at the end of the season and bring Jol back or go get klinsmann

Harry should shut his mouth and make the team more functional. ATM we play shit football, and we still draw and lose too much.

It seems to me Redknapp's in a no-win situation. That was hardly a hopelessly weakened team we put out against Shakhtar. I'd have preferred BAE at LB and Chimbo at RB, and Bent up front rather than Campbell, but given the circumstances that was a pretty decent line-up, and Gio and Parrett acquitted themselves very well. I was fearing a weaker one. And— let's get real—we almost got away with it against seriously formidable opposition. Even if we'd put out our strongest possible line-up, anything better than a draw would have been way beyond realistic expectations.

Perhaps you'd better have a closer look at the Spammers' record this season. They're five points ahead of us. That's the five points that Curbishley got at the start of the season. And if Zola's inexperienced, Steve Clarke certainly isn't.

And you and the rest of the Harry-bashers are missing the point entirely. Two years ago, I doubt you'd have found anyone on SC agreeing with Paul Kemsley that his mate Aitch was the manager we needed. We went for a 'big name' manager and he turned out to be an ocean-going disaster as far as the league was concerned. Who else was available to dig us out of a hole of our own construction? Allardyce? Souness?

 

[bomberH]

Bomber - i must just have very fond memories of Juande because i seem to recall that with zonal marking i didn't shit myself at every set piece. Still i'm sure you'll offer me stats to prove i'm wrong.

No stats here. Zonal marking doesn't really work, which is why 99 out of every 100 teams don't use it. Zonal marking helped get Juande the sack because he used it and we were still shit. If there is a geek around here, i'm sure the stats would show we still let in several goals from zonal marking.

Even leaving zonal marking aside, every other manager has been and gone and left us as shit at defending set pieces as we were when they came. Harry's been here 3 months and i'll say it again that every manager needs time to stamp his personality on the club and get the players he wants in. We're trying to come out of a losing mentality and it takes a lot of time.

sack him at the end of the season and bring Jol back or go get klinsmann

Yes, let's do that. :-|

 

[Houdini]

Harry will get us out of this mess, he will do just enough for us to stay up, and then we start next season with a clean slate, everything after will be down to him, then we can judge him on that, no excuses about ex managers or players fucking off!

 

[SpurSince57]

It depends what you mean by 'long-term'—a couple of seasons seems to be as long-term as it gets where Spurs are concerned.

Staying up won't be a problem. A run to compare with that of two years ago could still see us finish in the top six or seven (and before that's dismissed, the resident SC Caspar Milquetoasts had given up hope then). And who gave us a chance a year ago?

Why would Jol leave Hamburg? A more than decent shout at CL next season, a realistic possibility of the Bundesliga title? And you think Levy woulfd have him back? (Yes, stranger things have happened at sea.) As for Klinsi, the only way he's going to leave Bayern is if he's fired—which, given their performances this season, could be a possibility.

Get real.

 

[Bingy]

That Guy....Do you, somehow, think that winning is a habit with Harry? Not on my watch! He has stumbled onto winning a few games, here and there, but the THFC club is as far back in the EPL as it was when Ramos was trying to make sense of how it works. Tonight was another 'stumbling' performance, and lucky, and undeserved even (3 points are 3 points and should not be refused). Whatever the team did right today was not directly attributable to Mr Recrap...even if he managed to get us a bit higher up the League Table. Tonight we got the rub of the ghreen, for once, but with Thursdayand The CC to negotiate this week I can see the pain comming. The display against Hull was poor, at best, and nowhere near what even a poor THFC squad should be expected to produce. There are players who can 'spellbind' any of the top teams in Europe...but with Harry they are rarely going to be allowed to play their natural, flair game. Harry is English and plays a game that will suit a more English skilled team (Dawson etc). That is nowhere near Top 5....and just above Bottom 5. After a semi-bright debut at WHL Harry has returned to a more 'kick and run' style beloved of his days at The Dell and Fratton Park. We should beat relegation and we may even get a Top 10 finish but nothing more? Uefa/Europa Cup Triumph will come more as an accident as by design, for Harry. The longer he dictates at THFC the longer we shall have to wait for The Glory Years to return (even if we manage to scrape past Manure (yes, we are more than capable but less so with Harry at the helm?).
I despair for what is going to transpire over the next few months even if I am confident that, no matter how badly the team is set up it can still 'bumble' along to begin again in 2009/10 COYS!

Every single one of your retarded posts ends with 'COYS', yet all you fucking do is moan and talk utter shit in a manner very hard to follow because the 'return' key on your keyboard is redundant.

I despise your posts more than anyone else's on here. You sum up everything i hate in a Spurs supporter, typified by this sentence: "We should beat relegation and we may even get a Top 10 finish but nothing more?" You ungrateful massive numpty. You are the person i talk about in my posts when i refer to supporters who think we deserve success just because we're Spurs. WE ARE SHIT! When will you realise this. A top ten finish would be an absolute success this season and you're still not happy because A) you're prejudiced against Harry, and B) You're a constant, constant negative moaner.

And by the way, 'Redcrap'? Brilliant.

 

[Adam]

Personally, i dont think that tonight's game vindicates his team selection on Thursday.

If we'd turned up and wiped the floor with them with Modric and Palacios running the show then sure, he got it right, but in truth, they took a half to get going. Why? Perhaps because they hadnt played a club game for 15 days? Maybe not, but surely i realistic suggestion? In reality, the UEFA Cup isnt packed with THAT many great sides and if we'd put out a decent team on Thursday, we'd probably be able to rest players on Thursday with our place in the next round secured. Shaktar are pretty shite, and we lost because we put out a reserve team.

Obviously its great to have got the win, but id rather be in the UEFA Cup come Thursday, as ultimately, that is the competition that allowed us to get players like Modric in during the summer.

They are professionals-they should be able to play 3 or four times in ten days. In fact, they should probably relish it.

You couldn't follow your own nose to a shit-and-pickled-egg sandwich. Burble burble burble. Dot-dot-dot. Just spare us this relentlessly negative semi-literate garbage.

 

[Delboy10]

Did he? Well, FFS!

Excuses, excuses. I bet he didn't mention that guy's record in Spain, which is suddenly looking incredibly challenging to supposedly the best Barca side ever. Meanwhile, we're struggling to avoid relegation.

I couldn't give a flying fuck about his fuckin record in Spain!!! 3 WINS SINCE THE FUCKIN CUP FINAL meant he couldn't cut it as a EPL manager. What the fack is wrong with some of you people?! :bang:
