Crouch - A Good Player to Bring off the Bench

[earl warwick]

Eat it choda, just eat it!

Sing the same old song as Keano limps off into the distance, a busted flush.

Meanwhile, Crouch propels into 4th, then yanks us into the CL proper. Just wish he'd do more cheating but go a little more high class. Get in the Daily Mail, son!

I got so bored making the same points over and over again. Just glad Harry is an objective individual!

Just like the City game I bet Choda shat himself with our line up.


Suffice to say Earl - you know my stance on this one.

[TURKISH]

Will he post after Defoe and Crouch scored tonight? Everyone has there opinions ect but I hope Keane leaves so it all just stops, it just gets tiresome.

[earl warwick]

Crouch and Defoe starting score a lot of goals. It's true that Defoe can't read Crouch's flicks - I don't think Defoe can read anything, might have problems with Janet and John. They rarely work together to score a goal. One of life's major conundrums.

Valencia Yid on SC updated there at 10pm. Hutton, Naughton, Gio, Keane or JJ...all due to leave. Fabiano and Diarra close.

I would like to keep Gio - would be a bit dissappointed about that but Harry knows best. I wonder if he still has concerns over his attitude.

I really think the two we are after we really do need. Particularly in Europe - Diarra alongside Hudd would be immense. Hudd sitting and Diarra pressing like mad.

Gio should stay he will get plenty of games this season, Lennon always gets injured. Fabiano is a must for me, is JJ goes we will have to bring in either Diarra or Parker because Palacios isn't the same player.

Yes the Times did an analysis this morning on all or our striking ratios per goals/games.

We score more as a team when Crouch and Defoe start. Defoe's pace and Crouch's presence obviously have a lot to do with it. I mean they get over occupied with dealing with Crouch etc which creates space and time for others, perhaps? He's just a handfull most of the time and Defoe is extremely dangerous and potent on his day.

[olly27]

Some more ITK saying Keane is long gone, Diarra is imminent and Fabiano is on his way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wide right iin 4-4-2 isn't Gio's position. He's like Messi, wide in a front 3, as he plays for Mexico. Gio seems to link up with Crouch a lot better than Defoe does.

The last figures I saw were 29 in 31 starts. No logical reason for it, other than big lad, small lad with pace. It's not even big lad knocking it off to small lad to use his pace. A mystery, as with Brian Clough, and his team talks, not least punching Roy Keane in the face.

[olly27]

Did anybody see Harry after the game when asked about incomings and outgoings? It was so funny when he said he didn't expect anything to happen and then he touched his ear or something! Classic sign when your lying...

Good old Harry...when he denies it pretty much means a deals be done...:santaclaus:

Yes, maybe and a poisoned chalice.

For sure, I think we should play 451 away from home in the league and CL.

[olly27]

Earl on SC, you seemed convinced that Fabiano wont come...you still maintain that now, when all ITK is to the contrary?...even the big hitters, such as Valencia Yid and POTL.

Yeah, as Tim Vickery said, found Rennes too damp and inhospitable. Another Robinho. Name a Brazilian striker that ever found a home in England.

I'm more saying that he is going to be a colossal disappointment if he comes. He's not the messiah, and clearly our fans are desperate for one, a big striker signing.

I know playing at Blackburn in January may not appeal to a Brazilian!

Yep hasn't got a great record in europe and has a family so uprooting them could be a problem for him. But did anyone think Ardiles could play in England and do so well?

I think its a good gamble to take, would we miss Keane if we buy Fabiano?

He's still an upgrade on anything we have IMO. But as Earl points there could be real teething problems.

Worth the gamble though, for sure - given that he only has 1 year left on his contract.

Way to be a douche bag. Choda likes Keane, of course he's going to root for one of his favorite players to do well. Just a real classless move with how people seem to like to gloat on this subject.

Its not about rooting for one of your favourite players - its his unmovable bias. Its about having to listen to a biased opinion relentlessly over and over again, using any angle he can to make his case for including Keane even when all logic, at times, have suggested that its not warranted - its just completely blinkered and extremely tiring.

If you make strong points over and over again you have to ride with it.

Said it before - this a Spurs forum not a Robbie Keane Appreciation Society.
No offence mate but you havn't been on this forum that long to know the half off it.

Most on here know the endless repeated points he's made about Keane. You can bet your bottam dollar had Keane been on last night and scored Choda would of been on last night - wonder why he wasn't!

Sorry but putting a player first before whats the best for the Club really grates me.

Ok maybe Earl could of been a bit more diplomatic but that post of yours just sounds obsequious to me.

I certainly dont want to gloat, there should be nothing to gloat about - we are all Spurs fans. But what I am fed up reading about is everything always pertaining back to Keane - its in every single flipping post. Whats refreshing is that he has no case at all for last night - none. Keane even sitting on the bench looking like a spoilt child, not smiling or celebrating.

All of this may or may not be true, but I think what Anti was saying was that Jrio's post was pretty needless given that Choda hadn't even made any comment about the game. We all should have been just celebrating, but Jrio had to turn it into a way to have a pointless jab at Choda.

It is true Rojo and you know it. But yes I agree there wasn't any need to put it like that - I agree for sure and your right it shouldn't of been mentioned at all - it makes me sound hypocritical actually.

It just gets on my goat how selective he is as to when he posts, in other words when its convenient to back his own arguments up - which is not putting Spurs first.

I refer back to the City game, after we had pulled it off the first thing he did was slag team selection...no coincidence for me why he wasn't on last night either.

Anyway it shouldn't of been mentioned and I made the mistake of responding - I shouldn't of and it only reflects poorly on me but it has rumbled on for so long on this forum I guess some took some satisfaction from it.

spank yourself hard you naughty boy.
:ahhhhh:

Look end of day people have left this forum due to that guys posts and unerring points of view, so you and Earl had every right to bring it up and make a point of it and I support you both in doing so.
Taking cheap shots at people who also throw stones is where its at, he gives it out, therefore he has to take it, and to be fair he does, no need for anyone else to fight corners , bullying rocks, the fat ginger gay goth :ciao:

[Antilokhos]

Yes, I'm quite aware that choda will drone on endlessly about Keane given half a chance, and I have called him out on it before. My problem isn't that he gets called out on it when he does, it's that now he's not even around and people are trying to start something. On one of the biggest nights in years shouldn't we care more about the club's success than pointing out that somebody elses opinion, who isn't even around, is wrong?

And doesn't acting like that tend to push more people away from the forum instead of enticing any lurkers to start posting? If somebody is wrong, by all means, call them on it. But what purpose is there in doing it when he's not even around?

To be fair he has history of being one of the bigger offenders of that on here, to the point towards the end of last season where he was only coming on here to score points.

Earl and Choda have a "history" as well let's say.

But otherwise I agree with you.

Yes it was uncalled for and not necessary. I regret responding to it myself ,so I admit I shouldn't have. We are Spurs fans at the end of day and should all celebrate together. But thats what gave me the hump last time after the City game...everybody in a state of euphoria and Choda weighs in to go on about our front line and how it was wrong to start them.

Two wrongs dont make a wright though. So I apologise for even responding - it was pointless and uncalled for.

It's not a pointless dig and it's Earl thanks. You can find Jrio on Spurs Community with little help needed from me. I get the impression your future is likely to be in the role of your local friendly vicar. Blessings to you, my son.

Choda made a big point about Crouch being such a limited player compared to Keane, one that was best used as largely deployed from the bench, and didn't he drone on about it. Well, let's look at what Crouch has done alongside Defoe when starting in the key games that put us where we are now.

Scored the winner v City, clinching 4th.

Scored the early goal yesterday to put us in control, then scored the 3rd putting the game to bed. In-between he was a constant threat, winning the ball consistently and too a good end.

What is wrong with posters having digs at each other? Nothing, because we all have our favourite players, favourite posters and views that may conflict with others.

Would you really want all posts to start in the style of "Whilst I respect your views, I must politely disagree and will give a full and frank explanation for that reasoning"? No, because friction is all part of contributing to a forum, just as the same occurs at football grounds. We're all Spurs, but then we can all be parents, car drivers, libertarians or any other label you care to apply. It doesn't mean we have a uniform view that must be conformed to.

I agree that Choda was entirely wrong about Crouch and his views on the game at City were absurd. And friction and all that jazz is all well and good too. But we just had one of the biggest wins in the past 10 or even 20 years, and instead of just coming on here to celebrate with everyone else, you turned it into an opportunity to score points in your endless sniping battle with Choda - a contest which is every bit as boring as when he harps on about Keane on a completely unrelated thread.

[TURKISH]

Don't know why people get so sensitive, its just not worth it. I've taken things to heart before and I've learnt to just ride the wave. Olly had a go at me the other day, I didn't take it personally and guys shouldn't have to apologise to move on.

The way I look at things is, if someone's having a go at me then at least that gives someone else a break.

I thought it justified simply because of how Crouch had performed last night, a hat-trick, and he does regularly score goals in CL. A great contrast to how Keane has faded since returning.

I prefer a civil discourse with reasons to out right trolling. One of the reasons I like this board so much is that we all seem to be fairly reasonable and there is not a lot of trolling that goes on, so when I see it, it sticks out a bit more. And I certainly enjoy disagreements, but yours seemed much more personally targeted. If I'm wrong and am over reacting, then I apologize.

I agree with Earl. Yes we dont want people being disrespectful leff, right and centre...but you need a bit of spice in a forum.

This forum has been busier lately (maybe since Earl returned!) - well the last few days - with the game last night and today's draw but it has rapidly declined in my eyes. Not much banter anymore, a lot of good posters have left as well.

2 years ago it was addictive, it was great.

But it wasn't always arguing in the wrong way. Yes there was arguing, but a lot of the time it was in a light sort of way with a lot of banter flowing through it. I mean a good amount of it wasn't OTT.

Number 1 Spur. Or some variation. Bob? It says nothing to me. Can you expand on his profile? I seem to know more fans banned from Coys than I ever knew there.

Do you still get daft rhymes from Noodles on there? I was eventually turfed off for pointing out he was wearing no clothes.

Bob's one of the biggest posters there, one of the originals. But him and Spur have become good friends, they text each other and all sorts. The site overall is more suited to Spur and Wayne ect.

I think Juice has been banned on there, not sure.

Noodles was a joke, I think he is banned because we never hear from him. He was a tit have you heard from him since?

I like COYS but its so busy you can get lost in the woods, I don't express my views on Spurs I talk about other stuff like music, films ect.

I did notice Noodles hadn't been quoted as ITK for a very long time. He was the epitome of everything that fans despised in people claiming to have inside info. Who's Wayne?

Juice! There's a name to stir the....juices. :blushing: Not a surprise if he has been banned. Mary Poppins could get banned on Coys. There are blokes who used to be in the Gestapo that regularly condemn the actions of the Coys mods.

We lost alot of posters in the wake of the Rivals debacle, alot of bad blood came out of that, and the mood was never quite the same afterwards.

I couldn't say why users like Milo left, possibly because he logged in from work and they blocked the site there, but i can only guess. Others like Surrey did get fed up with Choda and couldn't be arsed anymore.

I post on SC as well but this will always be "my" site so to speak when it comes to really discussing Spurs.

Same here, this is my home as it were. Milo was a funny bloke, him and
spurs61 was a great double act. Surrey has a family now and I'm chuffed for him, such a nice guy and I wish everyone the best.

Your right the rivals debacle changed this site big time, but a positive was we hardly have petty arguments anymore. But maybe thats because of the number of posters.

But we as a spurs site was never the biggest or most known, I think our lenient runnings of the site probably puts people off.

I'll still be here until the end.

Rivals???? before my time or was i on holiday then ?

Hahaha how could you miss the infamous Rivals invasion?

Neil brought quite a few posters over from a forum called rivals which ended. They came over bitching about the site and things turned ugly for a while. In that time frame, nearly all our regulars left.

It was around the time Patrick Viera was apparently gonna join Spurs.

I dont even bother with other sites, this place suits me perfectly.

And from what I can see on here, those other sites with the supposed ITK are what a call a load w***. I think I've read quite a few of these rumours this pre-season and tbh I might as well have been reading the back pages of the Sun.

Keep speculating and eventually you will get one right and forever be known as an ITK who called it first!

Boring.

o yeh i remember just didnt connect it with the word rivals i know what you mean now cheers

But that's how you got me, so it wasn't all bad!

I like this forum because it's fairly low key and laid back. Plus it's easy to have a discussion on a topic. A lot of other boards, you'll end up ignored if you aren't a regular or have an established reputation. We seem to give most people a fair shake around here.

:laugh:

I love the laid back feel to the site, you can have a discussion without being ignored. Other sites that are more busy, people then only reply to the more popular posters, its like high school vibe really.

We have good lads on here and some I have known for a long time now.

[Shelfside]

If a lot of the regular posters left during the time that the Rivals were here then maybe Neil could fire some e-mails off to the lapsed posters and explain that things have calmed down on here considerably.Or then again did some people leave because of the constant bickering between certain individuals?.

We don't know for sure, some left because they thought this site was shit like lifetimeyido. Some have left for other reasons unknown.

Spoke to soon?

agree mate, ITK youre having a laugh (god Im so original!)

[choda]

To be fair he has history of being one of the bigger offenders of that on here, to the point towards the end of last season where he was only coming on here to score points.

Earl and Choda have a "history" as well let's say.

But otherwise I agree with you.

LOL.

You fellas make such a big deal of everything.

It's a difference of opinion.

When someone is in opposition and an 'argument' develops he's an 'offender'.

No one is an angel on here and for a Mod you are on of the worst for trying to score points.

I couldn't give a fiddlers about scoring points. I just want spurs to reach their potential and have some firm views on how to do that.

I will listen to anyone but if it just doesn't make any sense to me I will say that.

One thing I don't do, unlike you, is get personal.

I can argue with someone and still end up singing with them.

You and some others like to make someone into your 'dickhead' when you disagree with them. I don't like that.

I've had plenty of debates, heated debates, with loads of people on here and we understand it is just an argument and still get on great.

Maybe some people thought I was overstating the Crouch JD thing, but that's the thing, I don't think it is an overstatement at all.

I think it's a real problem, like Jenas was and Jenas and Zok were. Plenty of people never fecking stopped about that either and had every right to on an open forum.

Just some better perspective is needed.

It's a forum, people express their views, end of.

I have an awful lot more time for Earl these days than I used to. He may make silly digs, can be abusive for no good reason and that, which he shouldn't do, but at least he's knows its just a forum and knows how forums work.

That's such bollocks, and it's an attack from a 'moderator'.

Surrey was the only one an he kept mouthing off at me and didn't like the comeback. Who else left because of me?

It's just about opinions and the brainless can't see that others might have a different view.

I had or have an unpopular, on here I might add, opinion on the strikers and suddenly I'm a dickhead to some of you. It's idiotic beyond belief.

The last time when I did leave I had 12 messages in my pms from people telling me not to leave.

Not the picture you want to paint of me Gino is it? Stop getting personal and trying to score points on me from your own petty dislike of me.

[choda]

As for Crouch, he has a history of doing well against lower european teams, for England and now for Spurs.

That doesn't prove anything or tell us anything new.

I still think he's limited and really only good off the bench at this level.

Good guy to have though.

But it has done and will seriously screw with our team if he starts a lot with Defoe. They don't have the technical ability or intelligence to start together at this level.

People can point out this game or that, I have to laugh at some of those comments to be honest.

They seem to forget the two months when he was regular and portsmouth and burnley in and around the city game when we were all at sea as a team.

We didn't even play that well against city.

Any decent player can have his good nights and it won't mess you up every night, will it?

But percentages dictate, imo that he's just not as good as Keane or Pav. That's my view, I think it is clearly right but that's just my view.

That was really pathetic and you looked like someone desperately needing reassurance that you were valued. If anyone wants to "leave" they don't have to announce it, but you did because you wanted people to PM you. You didn't actually leave anyway, just stopped posting for about a week. When you realised the forum was still alive without you, you had to desperately backtrack and portray it as a return due to popular demand. :laugh:

:laugh: :laugh: Reminded me of David Brent when he got sacked and thought there would be a riot by the staff members. :laugh:

[KevSpur]

Don't worry Choda, 3 goals against Young boys proves his value to the team.
The fact that Crouch made 38 PL appearances and got 8 PL goals should therefore be brushed under the carpet.
He is a constant goal threat at PL level, that's why he's first name on Harry's team sheet.
What a joke.

LOL, I didn't do it for any reason, I just said I was getting fed up of deliberate personal attacks from you and that I was close to leaving. Then I said I'm off in the heat of the moment. No pre-meditation.

I love the people on here read so much into everything posters do and make their own half-baked assumptions and psycho-analysis based on the smallest things without knowing shit about the person.

[Gino Ginelli]

Fvck sake Choda, i don't get personal, I just got sick to the back teeth of you bullying fvcking everyone on here with your holier than thou superiority bollocks. Someone calls you on it, a moderator no less, and you don't think "hmmm, maybe I should be less of a belligerent cock" you think everyone's against you and I attack you.

I could give a fvck about you, you're just another stream of words on the internet. It aint about the football opinions, it's about your attitude and it always was. Get over yourself FFS.

You can accuse me of being a mod who abuses his power but at the end of the day I was entrusted with this because my opinion was respected. So if I think you're being a pest I'll tell you, and I did and you've used that as a me vs the world thing ever since.

I'm locking this thread up because it's degraded into bullshit. I want this forum kept football, not petty one up manship anymore. Fvcking leave it. if you've got a problem with me and the mods or the way the site's run PM me.
