    AVB and Mourinho

    The headline in the Grauniad is not entirely justified by the quotes, but they are direct quotes from AVB. -------------------------------- http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/aug/31/andre-villas-boas-jose-mourinho André Villas-Boas admits he has not healed rift with José Mourinho •...

    Roy Keane's dog RIP

    Quality insight into the mind of Roy Keane and his sadly deceased hound. The mutt became briefly famous because of Keane's dogwalk through the media circus after his World Cup bustup with Mick McCarthy. You may have heard the sad news by now. "She was a great dog and went through a lot with...

    "I don't think Harry was being fair," said Defoe.

    Unlike most such tabloid articles, this one does have quotes. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11675_6227845,00.html

    Walcott can't cross

    So much for l'arse's supposedly world class technical coaching of Wenger's kiddies. According to the Super Soaraway, young Theo's timing and delivery of crosses to Peter Crouch in training was dreadful, and led directly to his omission from the squad. :grin: [B]

    BAE away, who will be our LB?

    http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,16368,1804_5671492,00.html Six weeks is mid-February. Bale will start at LB. Bassong can also play there. If we have to play Corluka and Hutton at FB, I would expect Charlie to be LB, with Hutton at RB. Does anybody know how many times Hutton has...

    Carlton Cole loves playing alongside Defoe

    From before today's match on Sky: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12098_5508488,00.html Cracking pass for Jermain today, Carlton. I bet Fabio was impressed at the link up play. :clap::clap:

    A good time to sign some argies?

    I'll be interested in the views of our South American members as to the accuracy and implications of this report:

    Official Academy list updated

    http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/academy/academy_academyplayers.html Hopefully first year player details will appear soon too. Lots of splendid names there..... :wink: A few of the first years, such as Kudus Oyenuga, Harry Kane and Olumide Durojaiye, saw Academy (and in Oyenuga's case...

    Spurs Academy 5, Brum 0

    Our Academy continued their fine form with a 5-0 win on Saturday. Bostock played CM and scored, and Mason scored two: Spurs U18s: Butler, Smith, Cox, Kasim, Caulker, Butcher (Nicholson, 70), M'poku (Byrne, 30), Bostock, Obika (Ekim, 70), Mason, Townsend. Unused subs: Ranieri, Jack. Official...

    Levy: don't blame me, blame Berbatov

    Front page of the Observer sports section. Given the Observer's close relations with Jol in the past (eg the Ramosgate off-the-record interview with Jol), I'm pretty sure the "friend of Jol" quoted below is either Martin himself or someone authorized by BMJ to respond to Daniel Levy's claims...

    Juande's philosophy @ Sevilla

    Below is an interview with Juande Ramos conducted when he coach at Sevilla. It was published in February 2007. There are several SC threads claiming this and that, but here are our coach's own words. I find it particularly interesting that he agrees that one man cannot do the job of both...

    Players have lost confidence in Ramos?

    We looked totally lacking in confidence and commitment. To me, the players looked - yet again - like they didn't understand what they were supposed to be doing. At Sevilla, Ramos played a consistent 4-4-2, with the positions well defined. So whilst he rotated players, they all knew their...

    Ashley reveals Newcastle's financial black hole

    Is Mike Ashley a "fit and proper person" to run a football club? Hmmm - he admits he didn't do due diligence before buying the Barcodes, but hasn't confessed to whether his Newcastle shirts are a custommade XXXXXXXXXXXL. --------------------------------- Ashley reveals Newcastle's financial...

    Academy Categories for players?

    According to Crewe coach, we formally categorize our Academy players according to their potential and Jake Livermore is an "A", the highest category. It's good to hear some detail of Livermore's strengths, and I hope he develops well in his loan spells as O'Hara did early last season. I guess...

    UEFA Cup TV rights

    Looks like we'll be on Channel 5 quite a bit next season: --------------------------- Uefa Cup: Channel Five signs three-year deal Channel Five has signed an exclusive three-year deal with Uefa giving the network first pick of all Uefa Cup matches from 2009, plus the final, currently broadcast...

    Robbie Keane

    Ben is always open to interpretation. :wink: You're all correct that Ben could mean Ramos intends to use Keane as a squad player. If that's the right interpretation, I can't imagine Keano will be very happy. He's fought off Defoe and Bent, and made himself a first team regular. He's captain...

    Barca pounce for Keita

    Hindsight's a wonderful thing but it's a real shame we didn't sign Seydou Keita instead of Prince Boateng last summer. Unfortunately, we got the Prince and Sevilla switched targets to Fredi Kanoute's Mali teammate: ------------------------------------ Barca pounce for Keita Midfielder...

    Zaragoza relegated

    Lots of good players will now be on the list: Aimar Diego Milito Sergio Garcia Diogo D'Alessandro (who I think is on loan from Zara)
