I wonder how accurate this is.

We look suspiciously light in the midfield. Where's Ohara, Bostock, Parrett, Taarabt, Rose, Livermore, Caulker?

I think parrett and maybe bostock are with the England under 19s and Ohara is injured. Not sure about the others though.

Jesus Christ that's a lot of rbs. My guess is that naughton and smith will be left backs, Hutton and walker rbs, and Charlie will join kaboul, butcher as cb. Bale becoming an lw for this tournament.

Also, bostock, caulker and parrett are with England. Mason and Townsend were too at one stage, the two being our most precious academy talents. I believe we witheld Mason so we could continue bulking him up, while I get the impression after reading the reports of the Bournmouth friendly, and from the success of last seasons loan spells and remembering how good he was when I was an academy regular, the Harry may well want to involve Townsend with the first team squad and see how he stands up to scrutiny.

 

[nedley]

Im predicting a breakthrough to 1st team footie this season for Townsend.

Guy I work ith is a L'Orient ST holder and says he's good but not good enough to play top end PL.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

That's a pretty light squad with a game on Friday and Sunday coming up.

It's 9pm kick-off GMT

I would've thought Walker at centre back. Both Kaboul and Walker are centre backs who can play right back.

From the little I saw of walker it's very much vice versa. Difficult to judge but I saw an admittedly powerful looking, but ultimately only 5ft10 speed merchant who hugged the touchline well, took people on and crossed nicely, but needed work on his positioning. Sounds every bit the rb to me

Is there any chance they will be selling 10/11 jersey at the stadium ?

Yeah i'm not sure where he'll end up tbh. I've seen him at centre back a couple of times and he played just as well there. He showed good leadership for a young lad in the middle. As for the height, Cannavaro is the same height really. Plus he has the face of an old fashioned centre back :grin:

Just about to make a thread on the same thing.

You miss ed a bit off the end of the text. I am going to paste it, 'cos I liked reading it:grin::

"Tottenham Hotspur was founded in 1882 and is known as the Club of firsts - becoming the first club to achieve the League and FA Cup Double, winning both competitions in the 1960-61 season; in 1963 they became the first British club to win a major European trophy - the European Cup Winners' Cup. Victory in the 2008 League Cup Final meant that Spurs achieved the feat of winning a trophy in each of the last six decades, a record matched by only one other Premier League club."

I had never even sat and thought about that bit about winning a major trophy in each of the last six decades.

quality. so....50s,60s,70s,80s,90s,00s. So a cup this year will make it 7 decades....!

Shouldn't that bit be "first post war club to win the League and Cup double"?

I thought Preston acheived it first in about 1586 or something?

Also it has missed of the very good stat about being the "first and only non-league club to win the FA cup in 1901"

:grin:

Yeah, I always thought, when I was a kid (obviously, in C.20) that it was first team to win the double this century...but,, hey, folk have been rewriting history ever since there was a yesterday to rewrite, so what the hell:grin:

 

[mil1lion]

We're also the first club to have more than one shirt sponsor.

 

[THFC6061]

Spurs in San Jose...

 

[mil1lion]

Gotta love Robbie. He's been playing in Scotland for the past several months and forgotten what a football looks like.

 

[Coyboy]

Hudd's legs are immense!

You know that that yank probably had no fucking clue what Keane was talking about.
