Tottenham Vs Man United: Match Thread

[knilly]

He's gone. When the truth is out i don't blame the Club one bit.

Has he tried it on with Big Joe's daughter?

 

[slartibartfast]

Blimey in all the excitement I almost forgot to mention, Fk You Mourinho you arrogant twat.
Look forward to seeing Ajax batter that shower of shit of a team you spent a fkin fortune on.
Ps. Suck my balls

Does anyone have any idea why the player that made more appearances in a Spurs shirt than anybody else wasn't included in the parade of players? I know Stevie P. had his heart problems some years back but I thought he had recovered from that.

Another player that the club fell out with?

He sent a message on the website with other players who said they couldn't be there.

Thanks, hadn't been on the club site but I'll take a look.

 

[Mr Pink]

Was Alan Mullery there?

Not on the pitch, but there were a few who weren't introduced that were at the ground (Jol, Redknapp, Pleat) so he may have been there in some capacity.

He wasn't. Made his apologies before the game like a number of players

 

[Mr Pink]

Honestly couldn't believe Lineker wasn't there

Honestly couldn't believe Lineker wasn't there

Perhaps he's turned away from us back to his boyhood love the PED Crew..

First, what a wonderful send off --- from Poch and the boys to Levy organizing the legends to come and of course the fans.
I thought about our season just now, and yes I would have loved the title but we have finished higher than we have ever done so in my life. I feel happy, relieved and content in a way that the plastic fans of clubs like the oligarchs play thing never will.
This is my club. my one and only club.

 

[Tucker]

You should never get caught out lying to the Boss.


That's all i am prepared to say, and i would guess that those SC ITK would know as well.

Woof, woof.

I can only extrapolate from this, that he told Poch the time worn excuse of his dog eating his homework.

Pleat should have been introduced. He's done so much for the club, and loves it. He was behind the move for Alli, IIRC.

That makes a great picture... Will be using that as my back drop on Facebook...

Very close, but no cigar.

Walker?

Wanted first team place cos he was Charlie Big Potatoes
Played one sub app against Keflavik. I was at that game but don't remember him.
Was homesick for Scotland
Went to Middlesborough.

Some truth there but you're confusing two quite different time periods. As a 15/16-year-old he was homesick and went back to Edinburgh but he left Tottenham permanently several years later.

Graeme's view was that he was a better player than Perryman but Bill Nick favoured Perryman. Bear in mind there was only one sub in those days and thus, fewer squad opportunities. He once told me that Perryman was great but he wouldn't get any better as a midfielder but he (Graeme) would. Bigheaded? Not really. Graeme as a young man was superbly talented (think Rooney at 16/17) and he had this pretty realistic view that he would become a great player. Eddie Baily though was particularly harsh and dismissive. Graeme was intelligent and articulate and this got under Eddie’s skin. If you could imagine the complete opposite to Pochettino’s management style, Eddie had it. Foul-mouthed, spitting orders, rare with praise, unsympathetic. It worked with someone like Chivers but not the more sensitive souls like Graeme.

It was so bloody obvious that he was a special talent (he once almost won the FA Youth Cup singlehandedly) and those of us who knew Graeme in those days were absolutely shattered that he was moved on. I admire Bill Nick as much as any Tottenham supporter but he was fallible and this, in my view, was the biggest error he ever made.

I've followed Graeme's career since and constantly think "if only". Perryman was a great favourite and I remember him as an 18-year-old covering every blade of grass at the Lane, then in the second half he would revisit each one. He was a bundle of kinetic energy but, in my view, played with limitations and really didn't progress much from those early days just as Graeme had said. Loyal, committed, enthusiastic, gutsy yes, but not a patch on Graeme Souness in terms of skill and class.

I’ve lost touch with him now but I recall from those days that he wasn’t so much bitter about his brief career with Tottenham, more thrilled that he was now going somewhere where he could play more regularly.

For those who are going on about people like Jol, Rednapp etc were not introduced, Poch aside, it was about the players past and present, not the Managers. Most of the past Managers were there anyway.

Thanks for that.

I do of course remember what he did to Tony Galvin in the 1982 Milk Cup final.
