Match Thread: Tottenham Hotspur vs Blackburn Rovers

[Neil_Vaughan]

Talk about the game in here before, during and after.

[peterc]

Yet another defeat, no offence to anyone, can't really see the players performing well, their morale must be at the lowest.

[shakey18]

Let's hope the first game after a sacking syndrome occurs, and we put in a performance to send Jol on his way in style.It will be interesting to see what team Allen picks for this one.

[Ginola's Son]

1-4. A comical own goal somewhere in the mix

[spursmadnick06]

Will be interesting to see what side Allen picks, will he play it safe, or will he be more adventerous and include the likes of Tarrabt.

[Gino Ginelli]

Clive Allen to be the typical striker and play Keane, Bent and Berba up front, with Kaboul, Hudd and Lennon in midfield. Usual suspects to be joined by Rocha in defence. Robbo to return if fit.

Goals abound!

[Ginola's Son]

Yeah, for Blackburn

[Gino Ginelli]

Yeah, for Blackburn

:( *sigh* more than likely...

[berbzy 'G']

well I've said this since before we lost the Arsenal game about every game after... This is a must win... We need to get out of that relegation zone and then go from there...

[MACCSPURS]

After everything that has happen, you know we will win this game. That will just rub it in for Jol and prove the board were right to get rid of him.

So, will Ramos bring Kanoute back to the lane?

Rocha's out for another 2 months and with Gardner injured, that leaves only Kaboul and Dawson in the centre back spots. Robbo's out for the next 2 games. I'd imagine the only likely changes to be Keane and JJ back in.

[Keanoldinho]

I can't wait to see the line up

[choda]

Clive Allen spurs manager, class. But I still want Ramos. ;)

Clive could be good, but there's no way to know. I'd say he could be like Ossie.

[Spur]

I'm more confident going into this game with a caretaker manager in Clive than with Jol.

A start for JD too? I'll put money on it.

Yeah i think your right spur, im sure that JD will really want to prove a point to the new gaffer whoever it may be.

[choda]

But who are you going to drop? Or are you thinking a 442 diamond with Keane in behind?

[Spur]

But who are you going to drop? Or are you thinking a 442 diamond with Keane in behind?

I'm thinking this is Clive. This won't be flat 4-4-2. I'm thinking Jermain and Dimi will defo start. Not sure about Keano. If he plays 3 then so be it, but you've got to think Clive has been watching Adel and Wayne all year play for him, if you'd have money on them to start one game this year this could be it.

Anyways, i'm off out.

Wish me luck.

Yea, and this is Robbie Keane, and in form. :confused:

And good luck mate.

I can't see Clive experimenting with the formation and acting as though he's the new permanent manager. He'll be very conservative and stick with the players Jol has been using. I also think it will be a clear win for Blackburn. The players will largely be nervous about what the managerial change means for them and will be as apathetic and blunt as they looked yesterday.

[mjbmedia]

what makes you think Clive will be in charge on Sunday ? Juande may let him pick the team cos he doesnt 'know' the players but Juande (yes im on first name terms already :p ) will be there Sunday .

How he will be recieved is interesting as im sure the crowd will want to sing Jols name for most the game, until we concede a goal :(

(Listening to 'Dear Prudence' by Jerry Garcia. The man's a class act.)

Very true. Before they knew Roy Keane would be in charge at Sunderland he went in and said hello and said a few words. Quinn picked the team before that and showed it to Keane as well.

Juande could well have a big say in what happens on Sunday.

He can't start managing the side until he's officially appointed. He may be there but only as on observer. He actually joins on Monday if negotiations with Del Nido are completed. The same sources indicating Jol going and Ramos coming said that Clive and Alex would take charge of the side. It would be incredible for any manager to walk into a club on a match day and start picking players he doesn't know, dictating tactics in a league he's never worked in and in a country where he can't speak the language.

Quinn would have showed it to him as a courtesy. Keane would have known few, if any, of the players. Quinn lost that one as well, didn't he. I can almost guarantee Ramos will have zero input, though he might say "**** me, even you're picking Jenas, you knobhead!"

Lol.

But I'm not sure that's true about either manager. Keane apparently studied the squad for several games before deciding to join and Balague says Ramos has been watching spurs closely for months.

I don't know, who knows what will happen. His feet may not hit the ground in england until Wednesday and he might not speak to anyone on the coaching staff until then either.

Keane turned them down initially though, didn't he, which is why Quinn took over managerial duties. I gather he did give it further consideration when informed of the syndicate backing Quinn and assurances about the control he would have.

I haven't heard about Ramos studying Spurs. Plenty of observations that it was the other way round, and that Ramos saw the next step in his career as managing in the PL at a major club.

Keep watching the skies! Ramos on his way to Luton Airport according to SSN.

Anyway, more bollox from Graham Hunter. He reckoned that because Chelsea paid 600k to Ajax for Cate that Ramos is worth a great deal more. How does he reason that when Ramos has a contract only until the end of the season? It's the contract that is being compensated for, not the history of trophy or game winning at a club. What stance do you take when you agree with one of Hunter's statements? He thinks Del Nido may drag out talks to get the best deal he can, knowing Spurs can't afford to stall on the talks. I agree with this as Del Nido has a long history of being difficult to deal with, as in forever raising the price for Daniel Alves. But that means I can't take the opposite stance to Hunter. Very tricky. Even he can't be wrong all the time, can he?

I suggest you look at his face and when he has the dumb look on his face (most of time) that means do the opposite trick, and when he has a bit of colour in his cheeks and it sounds logical, then your okay.

Agree.Hunter is a ****, would much rather pay attention to Baligue.

[berbzy 'G']

How long will it take untill Ramos can actually take over as coach, like stand on the line during matches telling the players what to do and stuff?

[mjbmedia]

yes professor, hence me saying he may let Allen pick the team etc (of course he would have to) but if he is there, he'd be in charge, metaphorically speaking.

Please pay attention .

[\jackdaw]

You would think that the managers are not amateurs, though at times you may wonder. Now Ramos has officially left Sevilla he should be free to do what he wants.

There is no knowing what communication he will have with whoever is in charge of the team whether its Clive Allen or Joe Bloggs.

Even if he cant speak English fluently there are plenty of Spanish/English translators around to make communication easier.

To tell the truth it wouldnt surprise me at all if Ramos has some knowledge of the team on Sunday and even has some imput towards it.

Only time will tell and how the team lines up on Sunday.

One thing that may go in our favour is the "new manager" motivation. The team should be playing their bollocks off to impress so who knows whats going to happen now.

[RuFuS]

the crowd will want to sing Jols name for most the game, until we concede a goal :(

15:05 pm ? :mad:

[Ginola's Son]

I'll be singing Jol's name.

[jrio]

He won't be letting Allen do anything because Allen is in charge and Ramos isn't. In no sense will Ramos be in charge because he's there, metaphorically, hypothetically or theoretically speaking. D- for you mjb for not knowing that in no sense were you using a metaphor. :o

[Gino Ginelli]

I very much doubt that Ramos will be actually employed by us until about Wednesday. Allen is in charge of training and team selection for Sunday, and probably the Blackpool match as well.

[SurreySpur]

Ive heard that he'll be installed as Manager and introduced to the press on Monday. So he'll be in charge for the game against Blackpool, which is the perfect game for him to start, 1 Game 1 Win.

Do you think he'll keep the same captain and vice-captain ?

[RuFuS]

Allen is in charge and Ramos isn't.

Why muck ablout ? Just let levy and Comolli pick the team.

He'll be put in place on Monday, any statement will have to go to the stock exchange first no?

He'll be in charge for Wednesday IMO.
Same skippers? Probably, but that'll be Clive letting him know. To be fair there isn't anyone else to take over the captain position!

[corkspur]

He willbe unveiled on Monday but will be at the game tomorrow.I fancy us to get a result tomorrow,if he is watching,our boys will have to try and impress Senor Ramos.

Well, I'm always nervous until they sign on the dotted line. Last week I saw Megson's holding a Leicester scarf over his head. It's a funny old game.

They should add 'funny and at times ruthless old game.'

The media have nothing to gain - they'd look even stupider than normal after saying it was done and dusted.

If he's in at the Lane tomorrow then in my eyes it's done. If he's not, then it's not. I have every faith though.

Well I have as much faith as I can ever have with this Club :rolleyes:

[berbzy 'G']

Well I have as much faith as I can ever have with this Club :rolleyes:

Glad to see someone who's got faith in the club at the moment, Everywere else Spurs supporters have mixed opinions?

The best part about this whole Ramos situation is that he has £40 million to spend in january...

[hastingsyid]

my predictions are total shite so 3-1 to blackburn

[berbzy 'G']

my predictions are total shite so 3-1 to blackburn

Hope not...:o

[SurreySpur]

Will Ramos go into the dressing room and address the players before the game or do you think he'll just stay away until he takes charge officially tomorrow?
If there were certain players that he wanted to see in todays game do you think he would suggest to Allen & Inglethorpe( sounds like a solicitors firm) that they play some part so he can see them in competitive action?

[JuicE]

Clive should pick the reserve team! He does alright with those guys. :D

[SurreySpur]

Shame we dont have ledley, Big Tony or rocha available as i'd love to see Kaboul in the middle of the park up against Savage!!

Savage would bottle it big style!

No, and not just because his English is very limited.

And there's certainly no way in a million years the latter would happen either. Though it would be nice to think that they show him the team sheet, and he exclaims: "Jenas! He'll be the first to feel my foot up his arse! Who's to blame for that waste of 9m?", whilst behind him Levy shuffles nervously with a wan smile, and looks down at the floor wishing it would swallow him up. :D

OMFG w00000000t

Tottenham (from): Cerny, Alnwick, Forecast, Chimbonda, Stalteri, Lee, Kaboul, Dawson, Zokora, Tainio, Jenas, Berbatov, Keane, Bent, Defoe, Malbranque, Taarabt, Boateng, Lennon.

^^^ Boateng is in the line up !!! w00000t.

[spursmadnick06]

Thanks buddy hopefully I will get a good stream now on my 50meg connection.

I'm sure you'll get a better stream than i will mate, mines always pretty stop-start.

[\jackdaw]

Really got no idea how this will go now. Before the start of the week I thought we wouldlose, unfortuantly lose quite convicingly but now we have a new manager anything can happen.

I know Clive Allen is picking hte team but now the players are playing for their future so perhaps the "new manager syndrome" can work well for us.

Going for a 2-1 win know idea why but it just feels like it should be that.. 8P

[choda]

I have a good feeling about this game. I think there will be feeling that the great depression has ended, as it is a new start and everyone is excited about Ramos. Plus the lads will be really looking to impress.

And Blackburn are due a bad game, they have won 5 in a row.

But I'm still worried about our organisation, it's highly unlikely it has been sorted in two days.

Strange bench, but the team looks okay.

2 for Robbie Keane in a 2-1 win and Berbatov plays very well.

[wayne wonder]

i can see tugay being a big player for them today he's total quality from the start today its a good game shame im having to watch it on here :(

[LifeTimeYido]

Whats the betting they play thiers socks off for a change - As Ramos perches from above !!!

[\jackdaw]

i can see tugay being a big player for them today he's total quality from the start today its a good game shame im having to watch it on here :(

Thought the same thing about Tugay tell the truth .. open game at the moment with both sides making chances.

A little scare in first few minutes when we showed our frailties at the back but Lee came to the rescue.

PS Can I just add now that I fooking hate Savage.. cheating ******.

He's the type of player we should eb looking at his passing is excellent and he gets stuck in and has an eye for a goal as we all know!! The pace is frantic i think we might be trying to over impress and blackburn will just pick us off

[shakey18]

Well i think we're well on top.Lennon should have scored and Keano should have too

[spursmadnick06]

Best football we've seen all season in my opinion.

[\jackdaw]

Was thinking ....

If we win today will Clive Allan be the only manager who has been replaced with a 100% win record??

[wayne wonder]

Hudds has been way too sloppy today

[MarlowSpurs]

PS Can I just add now that I fooking hate Savage.. cheating ******.

[wayne wonder]

hahaha and now he's off!!!

Wish we had samba he's immense at the back

[\jackdaw]

45 mins without conceeding .. thats a step in the right direction.

Hudds isnt doing too well today, lots of sloppy passing. Others control is very poor as well and too many loose balls going to Blackburn.

But in saying that Blackburn are giving the ball away a lot to, perhaps its the rain .. lets think that so when something good happens it makes it better.. 8P

[denis-cro]

Huddlestone´s display is ****ing shocking... WTF is wrong with him...:o

Perhaps trying a bit too hard. Winning and retaining the ball well on occasion but over-ambitious in his passing.

By the way I predicted 2-1, so I hope I'm right!

[MACCSPURS]

On a serious note....

I don't mind losing if we look like we are fighting and trying to win ourselves. What I hate is like against Newcastle when you can see the players don't care.

The only reasons we are playing better today is because the new manager is watching and they are playing for places.

[wayne wonder]

Berbs has to score there really very lazy!!

Hudds is doing my head in i tell ya

On a good note though lennon looks like the lennon of old complete with poor crossing lol :p

Not really. The equaliser was but that was out of nothing. Shades of Gallas and his winner for Chelsea away a few seasons ago.

[coys]

****ing Shite Again As Usual

[spursmadnick06]

Darren Bent has to be the most pointless and expensive signing of all time! that shouldv'e been Defoe coming on with 15 minutes left! at least he always looks hungry and likely to get you a goal!

[wayne wonder]

we cant defend at all!! Ramos must be thinking what the **** can i do with this shambles!!! **** kanoute and alves we need some proper defenders!!

Samba was immense today they paid 400,000

[berbzy 'G']

I can't ****ing wait to January, I really ****ing can't!!!!!!!!!!

[nuttyhotspurs]

ramos for the love of god sort this bunch of useless overpaid ******s out.

credit to hughes for having 3 forwards on away from home at 1-1. mind you who wouldnt against our defence????????

absolutely pathetic

tell me bout the defence and midfield need to be revamped totally bunch of *****'s

[nuttyhotspurs]

Not really. The equaliser was but that was out of nothing. Shades of Gallas and his winner for Chelsea away a few seasons ago.

out of nothing....all over the place again defending a set piece, just head the ****in ball out away from goal.

[corkspur]

what is it with us and conceding last minute goals??? for **** sake this shit seems neverending!!! Ramos must be thinking,What the **** have i done!!!

[nuttyhotspurs]

if its true about the 40m transfer kitty, at least 30m needs to be spent on the defence.

last minute goal against sunderland cost us 1 point last minute goal against fulham cost us 2 points. last minute goal against liverpool cost us 2 points. last minute goal against blackburn costs us 1 point. thats 6 points lost due to switching off at the end. or is ther more?? how many times does this need to happen to us before they learn their lesson???? or is it just a sick joke

[berbzy 'G']

We should of scored about 5 more goals...

I'm starting to wonder if these players do it on ****ing purpose!!!

We're a laughing stock to other teams... It's embarrissing!!!!

[jrio]

we cant defend at all!! Ramos must be thinking what the **** can i do with this shambles!!! **** kanoute and alves we need some proper defenders!!

Samba was immense today they paid 400,000

No, he must be thinking he could do an average job and be lauded as a messiah. The last players he'll be thinking off are Kanout and Alves.

Having a feeling he was shown the team sheet and did say: "Madre de dios? Even you are picking that knobhead Jenas!"

After an hour I was thinking: "How many fans are going to say that we should cancel Ramos' multi-million deal and give Clive the job for 1m a season?".

[spursmadnick06]

Why is it with Tottenham that you just know that if anyone is going to concede a goal in the last minute then it's going to be us!

[choda]

It had to be a set piece, didn't it?

Well, we can't expect he organisation to have been sorted in 2 days, so I'm just looking forward to when Ramos can get them on the training pitch and sort it among loads of other issues.

[denis-cro]

Well, I hope Huddlestone is aware that Ramos was at the Lane, watching the game, cause he would be starting for Spurs senior team for a while... I don´ t want him wear Spurs shirt ever again....:mad:

[MACCSPURS]

guys, guys, guys....

The new Spurs does not start until Ramos is in charge.

Let's be honest, under Jol we would have lost today, without Jol we would have lost today and even on form Blackburn was going to be hard.

All Ramos did today was watch and actually that is a good thing. He was able to see the problem first hand and now can't start to deal with it. I don't expect him to do anything but get us through this season now.

I would not be surprised that in January we bring in some old heads (like we did with Naybet) just to make us a little stronger.

Best thing is, we are at home again and it's only Blackpook so it should be an easy start.

I would expect it to take a good month before we really start to see what Ramos can do.

[peterc]

No matter what anyone says, no Jenas and the midfield was still shite, Huddlestone needs a turbo shuvved up his backside, too slow, Ramos did not look very impressed at the end. When I saw that set piece coming in I told my sons, here we go, 2-1 to Blackburn.:mad:

[jrio]

it was out of inept defending again mate nothing else

I'd say it was out of Blackburn pushing forward, us conceding possession and then free-kicks. Samba lamping it into the side of the goal? Says it all.

[nuttyhotspurs]

Why is it with Tottenham that you just know that if anyone is going to concede a goal in the last minute then it's going to be us!


erm maybe because we do it all the ****ing time!!!:mad:

[spursmadnick06]

Jenas will always be the Spurs scapegoat, even though he's clearly a better player than Zokora or Huddlestone.

[nuttyhotspurs]

Well Mr. Allen, I´m very glad that You are at charge only one game at Spurs senior team cause You´re an utter idiot, like Jol is...****ing unbelievable...how the **** we manage to have such an idiots in our coaching stuff...
WHY THE **** DID HE TOOK OFF MALBRANQUE WHEN HE WAS OUR BEST MAN ON THE PITCH... STUPID ****....INSTEAD HE LEAVES HUDDLESTONE ON THE PITCH.
Huddlestone should be kicked in the ass ASAP...stupid useless **** !!!!!


steed worked his ass off today and i think thats why he was taken off, he must of been ****ed. thats all i can think of

[jrio]

Jenas will always be the Spurs scapegoat, even though he's clearly a better player than Zokora or Huddlestone.

If you'd seen his ineptness when Milner scored the 3rd goal for Toon on Monday you'd have severe doubts about that. One of those players who's a lot better on paper.

[nuttyhotspurs]

berbatov needs to get a ****in grip aswell, the bone idle ****. should of scored when keane put it on a plate for him. another slow, lethargic, uninterested, inactive, lazy, languid, slack, sluggish, unenterprising (anymore anyone???) performance by our "star" player

[choda]

berbatov needs to get a ****in grip aswell. should of scored when keane put it on a plate for him. another slow, lethargic, uninterested, inactive, lazy, languid, slack, sluggish, unenterprising (anymore anyone???) performance by our "star" player

Should be dropped very soon if it continues much longer.

[jrio]

On the left, with a heavily right footed full-back behind him, he's on a hiding to nothing.

That's how he plays. Nothing to do with being bone idle. Should have scored with the header.

[MACCSPURS]

Who is left that can be sacked?

One of the stewards?

[choda]

That's how he plays. Nothing to do with being bone idle. Should have scored with the header.


Treu and I didn't see much of the game, but of it was like many of his previous performances this year then Nutty is right and its beyond his natural manner and style.

[denis-cro]

all credits to Dawson´s last year performances, but at the moment, he is ****ing Division 1 player... I used to shake every time when Gardner was on the pitch, but now, Dawson´s performance are at his level ...****....
The board should have bring at the Lane, not only Ramos, but complete Sevilla coaching stuff...
FOR ALL THOS SPURS FANS WHO STILL BELIVE THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF FINISHING IN THE TOP 6 TIS SEASON... WAKE UP!!!!!!
Cause, after this, 17th place at the end of the season is what would make me happy...:(

[berbzy 'G']

****ing Huddlestone didn't make any runs atall, He lobbed the ball back to someone when it came to him... and gave the ball away every ****ing time... :mad:

'' Dawson The Disaster ''
(should be in tomorows papers)

Cerny is just shite...

Malbranque and Lennon played their hearts out...

Overall it's gone tits up, I've forgotten what it's like when Tottenham win...

Other shit teams look at there own fixtures and think '' Yes, Spurs at White Hart Lane, thats 3 points garentee ''...

[MACCSPURS]

Some of you people amaze me...

Dawson has been nothing but superb since he has been at the club and ok, so he has made some errors but he is young and still learning.

Fact is, 98% of what he has done at Tottenham (especially last season) has been excellent.

You want to slam him for a couple of bad performances?

crazy!

[wayne wonder]

i hope we dont all think he's gonna come in straight away and sort it out because thats never gonna happen!!

He's got a lot to be getting on with in defence, the middle where i thought huddz was shocking and should be put in the reserves for a while and upfront because apart from keano or if JD gets a chance i cant see us scoring. Bent looks like a little boy lost and berbs was a little better today but not to his usual high standards.

I just wish when we defend set pieces instead of being *****s and trying to prod it out GOD DAMN PUT YOUR FOOT THROUGH IT:mad:

[denis-cro]

Blackpool ?? Are they any good ?? are they capable of defending 90 minutes and score a winner in the 92 ´... cause, at the moment, we´re more than capable of creating 144 chances, and manage to not convert any of them... penalty excluded...

[berbzy 'G']

... These are the players who I believe should look elsewhere:

Robinson (To clumbsy, a let down, and not proffesional)

Dawson (Done brilliant last season, earned an England place, But is now beyond useless, a shamble, rubbish at marking)

Huddlestone ( Gives the ball away, Can't take a set piece anymore)

Bent (This bloke is ****ing shit, There are no words to describe Bent, Beyond belief if you ask me, can't set up a goal, or score a goal, doesn't deserve to play for Tottenham Hotspur FC)

All these players should be replaced by Ramos's choices in January?

[Ginola's Son]

What a load of ****ing shit.

I mean, not withstanding that Brad Friedel is a ludicrously unbeatable keeper, the obvious ending to the game hurt so much more when you have paid money to view the inevitable. Such crap. And without Jol, we're still shit, and thats cos the players are a lump of shit, a complete bunch of Bottlers. We were due for this, due for humiliation cos of all the big mouths who thought we were made for bigger things, well, we ain't...it's the same old shit. ShitTER without Jol. Juande Ramos ain't all that, never won a league title in the 12 clubs he's managed.

[nuttyhotspurs]

Treu and I didn't see much of the game, but of it was like many of his previous performances this year then Nutty is right and its beyond his natural manner and style.

its WAY beyond his natural "lazy" manner. if he ever loses the ball now he makes absolutely no effort to win it back. hes really pissing me off at the minute

[berbzy 'G']

**** top 4... We need to get out of the relegation...

[jrio]

Juande Ramos ain't all that, never won a league title in the 12 clubs he's managed.

What a shock! :eek:

But then, in 125 years, Spurs only won it with Bill Nick or Arthur Rowe! Good match, dontcha think?

[denis-cro]

... And without Jol, we're still shit, and thats cos the players are a lump of shit, a complete bunch of Bottlers.... ...it's the same old shit. ShitTER without Jol....

Yes, but it was a copy/paste of Jol´s tactic...the line up, the substitutions, Dawson continuously kicking ball from defense by-passing the midfield... so It was like Jol was on the bench.... that is the reason we´ve bought Ramos...IMMEDIATELY :D

[choda]

You're not going to get a grip anytime soon are you GS?

One game where we had a caretaker who had two days to prepare. It was merely a Jol team with Jol organisation and tactics because nobody had time to do anything. And Ramos has only said 'hello.'

Stop having knee jerks or you are going to do both cruciates simultaneously.

[SurreySpur]

Ive been out all day at a family do and only got a few texts through telling me the scores from a mate so i dont really know what happened....

Did we deserve to lose?

Ive heard Keano gave 110%, who else played well? How did Aaron play?

No, no, NO! I paid £30 to watch football. I didn't get my money's worth so I'm annoyed. If it was a heartfelt, gutsy display which we came up short in, I'd be fine. But the effort was CRAP! We STILL think we have a right to win, we do not. Teams are coming to our ground now and bloody beating us! Not a Jol team. Not Jol tactics. This just IS what we are. These are the players we have and they just aren't good enough. The injuries we have are too key and both Lennon and Berbatov just aren't the same, especially the latter who clearly doesn't wanna be here so he can **** OFF!

We're gonna need more than just an overrated Spanish manager coming here on over-inflated wages to get us out of this mess! He can't sign till January. He has to do something with these SAPS!! Good ****ing luck.

Well if they are shit and I don't think that applies to most by any means, than that was Jol's fault too for allowing them to come in and picking them week after week.

But let's see how Ramos gets the team playing with new tactics, training etc.

You're still ignoring all the tactical points that people make about the team that are not right. Tactics and training make or break whether you get the most out of what you have or whether you are in the drop zone after spending 100 million plus.

This is the best squad I've ever seen at spurs, that's a fact. We have many good players.

[Ginola's Son]

How is this the best squad? HOW!!

Give me a break! There are two or three top quality players at the club, they are the ones who perform during a barren run. And Michael Dawson has exposed himself now as someone who can't hack it. I'm dumbfounded by this as I thought he was an England regular to be, but his mistakes are becoming commonplace.

[jrio]

How is this the best squad? HOW!!


After an hour, with Spurs one nil up, seem to remember Alan Parry commentating that Blackburn had started strong but since then their strikers had offered nothing. Cue McCarthy with his deflected strike. Spurs then started to fade, always thinking we might lose a goal rather than we'll score another.

Strongest squad I can remember since the 80s. Purely a matter of confidence and organisation.

[Ginola's Son]

A strong squad doesn't 'fade' mate.

[choda]

A strong squad doesn't 'fade' mate.

True, but it requires three things to be a strong squad: quality, confidence and organisation. Our side only has one of those things.

[Ginola's Son]

And at the moment, it isn't any of them.

[spursmadnick06]

I heard that a section of the Spurs crowd were chanting abuse at Levy, can anybody that went to the game confirm whether this is true or not??

[jrio]

I heard that a section of the Spurs crowd were chanting abuse at Levy, can anybody that went to the game confirm whether this is true or not??

There was a banner indicating displeasure at Levy's conduct. I didn't hear any chants.

[spursmadnick06]

Ok well let's hope that nonsense stops in the next match. We want everyone getting behind the new manager!

[Ginola's Son]

It's not nonsense.

The chanting was mostly just pro Tottenham stuff, except for the pathetic 'stand up if you hate arsenal' and 'your support is ****ing shit'

[spursmadnick06]

It is nonsense because it's not going to achieve anything. The deal has been done now, so let's all get behind the new boss.

Levy wants to take us to the top and with the money he's dispensed with on the club, you cannot blame him.

[Ginola's Son]

Nope. I don't forget things that easily. Levy isn't going to sweep this under the carpet. His reputation has been irreparably damaged.

[JuicE]

Nope. I don't forget things that easily. Levy isn't going to sweep this under the carpet. His reputation has been irreparably damaged.

Can you please have your next of kin contact us after you finally kill yourself? Your becoming unconsolable and irrational. Get a grip!

[Ginola's Son]

I haven't told them of my plans. They'll think its a bit silly.

You've gotta be kidding. Speaking for all of us, you've completely wasted your time and money. And it's a totally artificial "sport".

Slight bit of effort, but couldn't beat that ****in Friedel.

Soon as they got a goal back, writing was on the wall.

[Spur]

American Football is actually very good.

It's honestly crossed my mind. In my teens, I was a very depressive person. I can't handle a mulitude of bad things happening. Life is a lot better now, realistically, I wouldn't dream of doing it, too many people can be hurt. But Spurs is such a large part of my life...who knows, if we went down...and I had to take the train home...

Agghh, I do need counselling, I realize that. I don't think I could leave 'The Godfather' behind anyway. Imagine never seeing that again?

[jrio]

American Football is actually very good.

It's actually very bad and proposterous. It's unintelligible and played by freaks who don't understand that London is a city where people speak English, and who take large amounts of steroids.

[Ginola's Son]

And another set-peice conceded - laughable.

Oh totally expected. The fans knew, it the players knew it. Blackburn knew it. You could see Hughes practising his victory fist.

Laughable IS the word.

[Ginola's Son]

It's actually very bad and proposterous. It's unintelligible and played by freaks who don't understand that London is a city where people speak English, and who take large amounts of steroids.

LOL!! I tried watching the Superbowl once. Nearly died of boredom.

[spursmadnick06]

There was effort, and for periods we looked quite good, but once Blackburn equalised there was a predictability about what was going to happen next.

[Spur]

It's actually very bad and proposterous. It's unintelligible and played by freaks who don't understand that London is a city where people speak English, and who take large amounts of steroids.

I don't think I view it the same as Americans though, I view it as a laid back sport, perhaps because I only see the basics and can't see it in depth the way some can, but i'd gladly watch it and do gladly watch it as a matter of fact.

Same with Baseball, could easily sit there for hours on end watching it. Basketball I dislike, Ice Hockey i'm not so keen on (maybe because an ice skate sliced open my chin as a kid :rolleyes: ).

But i'm happy watching most sports. I include Curling in that for some reason.

And no i'm not sad!

Sports for goalkeepers. :D

Yeah lazy sports, sports where you can sit back with a pint or a dooby.

Perfect :D

I gave away a ridiculous penalty today, not sure what I was trying to do but I ended up doing one of my trademark karate kicks. Bloke was through on goal and I was going for the ball, honest, I always do I just usually get it hard but fair you know. This one was a stone cold penalty though. And he scored it, bastard. I'm proud of my penalty ratios. That's harmed them.

Hey, I'm sorry if I've been an asshole to you in the last while, I didn't realise you were feeling this bad. Forums are awful that way.

Chin up buddy, it will get better - spurs, and if you are going through a bad patch in your own life.

Whenever I find myself getting depressed over spurs I just detach myself from it. I refuse to suffer over something I don't ultimately control. I never get angry or whatever for more than 30 minutes after a game, but I can be buzzin for days when things go well, so spurs are a good thing for my health, believe it or not.

And I know what's it's like to get depressed. I have had a bad illness over the last few years. I'm only getting over it now, and at times I got awfully depressed with my life.

But I'm a real optimist at heart and I find hope to be a beautiful thing. You're a nice man GS, don't forget that and you are a bit special mate, you are a spurs fan. A fan of the greatest club on earth. The others just don't get it, the glamour, the players like Ginola, Klinsmann etc. the footballing philosophy. They haven't a ****ing clue, but we do. ;) :cool: :D

Ahh, I see!

My footwork isn't all bad. Isn't all good, but it certainly isn't all bad. I'm more the intelligent player, break up play, get stuck in, that sort of thing when out on pitch. Would like to go up front one day I think i'd be good there despite a lack of pace.

[jrio]

HAHA, good one.

No, I would only be a mere trifle compared to any hardship caused by Jenas. How dare you actually accuse me of that. How could anyone inflict so much misery on a spurs fan as Jermaine Jenas.

He's like a mental amputation. He hijacks the serotonin neurotransmitters in ones brain and tears them asunder reaping havoc on the spurs fan's emotions. There have been double-bind studies where Jenas has been proven to be the single most deadly cause of mental health issues in spurs fans.

They've released a new drug called Jenasreuptakeinhibitors, abbreviated to JRIOS? - to combat this awful affliction.

They are now working a new drug called Robbozac.

Well, I'm not his harshest critic- that would be spur, closely followed by you. But I caught the third goal Newcastle scored yesterday on FF and I was just incredulous at how he dollied out of closing down Milner on the edge of the area. Surely any player would do the equivalent of running through a brick wall on going back to a club like Newcastle to show they weren't a complete waste of space?

[spursmadnick06]

Actually if we are talking about potential, then i'd say JJ has far more ability than either the Hudd or Zokora. Let's just see if Ramos can bring it out in him.

At least he has the ability to shoot on target, something you'd want from a central midfielder.

[choda]

Does he? It usually takes him 10 attempts, but at least he gets up there ten times, that's one thing I will give him.

He hasn't more ability than the Hudd, no way, but he is far more athletic. Any ability he has so far at spurs has been so hidden it's basically forgotten, so at this point I can't even agree he has even 1/5 of the natural abilty of the Hudd.

If Ramos can turn Jenas into a player he will be some man. I personally can't wait to see how the Hudd will do in a proper setup without gaps and with a passing rhythm. I think he will be pure class, but we will have to wait and see.

Zokora, I don't know, he seems to be painfully lacking in ability, we will have to see if he has some kind of Essien like rebirth under Ramos, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Hey. Don't worry about it. The forum isn't about me. I know negativity can get on people's nerves. But it's the way I'm feeling right now. I have zero confidence in the team, really upset about Jol's treatment, and I dunno, it does affect me big time. And I'm all a tizzy about driving tests. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack or something. Also, I wanna move out next year, but I'll be ****ed If I'll have the cash cos I keep spending it on shit. But I do have the love of a good woman, albeit someone who supports a team that can't stop winning, that has a lovely new job and is happy. No envy from me, just wish I could be as happy. Nothing wrong with that is there.

We're a special club is right. But the last few games have been distinctly un-special. Really average and I dunno, I feel we've been found out, and it could be so easy to slip down the trapdoor, just cos we're spurs and we've not been out of the top flight in 30 years, doesn't make us immune and I just want to make sure we aren't being set up for embarrasment destiny wise, you cannot stop destiny's plans....Ramos needs to be the man for us, not another Santini...and that I'm praying for.

[spursmadnick06]

That's just the problem though, Huddlestone is not athletic at all, not mobile enough to be playing in the centre of midfield in the Premiership.

Zokora has been a big flop, but apparently Ramos wanted to sign him for Seville just before we signed him, so seems we will be stuck with him for a while yet.

As for JJ, yes he does get up the field 10 times a game, just as he get's back to help the defence 10 times a game.

But reallly, would any of these players be getting into a top 4 side?

[choda]

Hey. Don't worry about it. The forum isn't about me. I know negativity can get on people's nerves. But it's the way I'm feeling right now. I have zero confidence in the team, really upset about Jol's treatment, and I dunno, it does affect me big time. And I'm all a tizzy about driving tests. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack or something. Also, I wanna move out next year, but I'll be ****ed If I'll have the cash cos I keep spending it on shit. But I do have the love of a good woman, albeit someone who supports a team that can't stop winning, that has a lovely new job and is happy. No envy from me, just wish I could be as happy. Nothing wrong with that is there.

Well if my last 6, or is it 7, seasons predictions are anything to go by then spurs will bring you some joy this year. I keep getting it right.

I predict this year we will get right into euro contention under Ramos in the league and with the cups - who knows.

If ever you're feeling negative about the team, just think back to the players we had this time 10 years ago!

Well, Huddlestone was really shite today. I can't fathom his crudness. I've been critical of JJ but even he would have been better today. On a good day, Jenas's workrate is extremely high. It's just, we never see that enough. Maybe he lapsed into an arrogant mindset cos he knew Jol would pick him each week. So maybe the one good thing that can come out of Jol's removal is that Ramos will take no shite from JJ, and will ask for his best...or nothing.

Let's hope you're fantastically good-looking or a real charmer, otherwise you're completely ****ed with that girl(especially after watching them on MOTD2). :(
Probably best to distract her with memories of the double winning side(the one your grandad used to tell you about but you haven't mentioned him before because his loss has been so hurtful), the one NO Arse side could ever match up to and how John White's tragic death robbed the world of a real genius.

[Ginola's Son]

LOL.

Erm, prepare yourself for this one...

My late grandfather was...

God...it's the end of GS...

A PIKEY!!

Well, not literally, but a West Ham fan nonetheless. As are my dads brothers. My dad (Not David Ginola, my real dad) defected to Spurs in the 60's....good job eh, I wouldn't be on this forum otherwise.

I'm not good looking, but I dunno, she likes me, I'm not gonna knock it. I thinks its because I'm very comical, good comic timing.

[spursmadnick06]

Lol. ****ing right Nick, finally we are agreeing on something.

Had to happen eventually!

To be fair though, your hero Keane, has he ever missed a penalty for THFC?

[spursmadnick06]

LOL.

Well laughter is of course the key to a good relationship. And you certainly get plenty of that being a Spurs fan!

[spurs61]

Rant, rant, rant, rant. Sorry couldn't really be bothered to go through the same old lines. :D

Something really woke Steed up though, and I think I saw Lee put in a half decent left footed cross in the first half :eek: .

Forget about signing Daniel Alves and Kanoute, I hope Ramos goes and gets Poulsen to put some steel into the team.

...maybe it was the players after all?!;)

[spursmadnick06]

Steed was great, Lee's been impressing me more and more, Lennon was showing shades of his former self. In parts we looked good!

Milan lost at home again. Club with a history of a strong Dutch connection.

[Ginola's Son]

Steed wasn't that great. He controls the ball in circles....know why? He's on his wrong side. Switch him over.

[spursmadnick06]

What was the reaction when he was replaced with Bent, i thought i heard quite a few boo's....

[spurs61]

True. Friedle played a blinder as usual and we attacked with greater fluency in parts. Berbatov still looks fairly disinterested though as does Chimbonda (who I'm begining to loathe). Kaboul and Tom were truly awful but it did seem as though a weight had been lifted from the collective shoulders of the players. For once Zokora had a decent game and used the ball intelligently, even though his first touch is still shocking.

It'll take a good few weeks before Ramos can stampt his mark on the side, until then we'll have to scrap for all the points we can.

[spurs61]

He was waaaaaay better then at any time this season, trust me I think he's crap.:p

And we should have swapped Steed and Lennon over when Gamst Pedersen came on.

[Ginola's Son]

They should be swapped over from the start, its the logical choice

[choda]

Had to happen eventually!

To be fair though, your hero Keane, has he ever missed a penalty for THFC?

He's not my hero, my heroes in football are the other Keane and Maradona.

My hero at spurs is Berbatov, but he'll quickly lose my affection if he doesn't buck up in the next few months and he should be dropped if he doesn't consistantly play well over the next patch of games.

Robbie and King hold equal affections with me. Robbie has only missed one pen as far as I can tell.

[Gino Ginelli]

Aww man... have I got to read all of this from the start?!

I haven't even seen the highlights yet som I'll have to won't I? See you back here in about 2 days...

FFS, that's the last time I am going to a game with you, you're just nicking all my comments now. :cool:

You missed one though - Kaboul is a ****ing liability, anyone who thinks that Dawson is the one all at sea hasn't seen this **** "play", Daswon is doing the job of 2 defenders at present. He's shit, sorry but he is, can't mark, can't tackle, can't pass, not great in the air, he's big and quick (ish) that's about it. Time will tell but this kid isn't going to cut the mustard without a seriously influential and experienced centre half to help him learn his trade. The only hope for him would be to convert him to DM, but the same issue would still apply as he goes charging forward in search of his own personal glory.

Oh and **** off Chimbonda, I for one saw straight through this **** before he even came to Spurs, I'd bite off the hand that offers us our money back on him.

[wayne wonder]

At times like this we need someone like Ayala maybe he's slow as **** but can read a game and knows how to lead and marshall a defence

[jrio]

Just struck me we're back to having most of our left-backs and centre-backs unavailable, as at the start of the season. Never seem to have the same problems with CMs.

If Chimbonda removes the sloppyness he can be class. How many good games did he have last year? Many. That's why Chelsea were sniffing. But he has been atrocious this year. He would be one that definitely stopped playing for Jol.

But let's get the mess sorted and see how the dust settles before we make any rash calls.

As for Kaboul I agree with you to an extent, but what he needs is a strong coach and possibly somebody experienced beside him. Time will tell on that one, but I will say that he has incredible talent. And he can pass. :confused: He can even cross accurately with either foot. I think he'd be possibly be a class left back.

Remember that he came into a shambles, it can't have been easy for a young cb form another country to step into a line-up that had clueless coaching. Jol didn't even tell them to get tight, they would only get tight to a striker when they got the ball. It was a joke.

Chimbonda's pretty concerned, even though he's one of the major contributors to our downfall

[SurreySpur]

He's been shocking so far this season, hopefully he'll regain last seasons form along with Dawson, because at the moment they look like completly different players.
