Top 4 thread: Tottenham 2010/11

[Corax]

I'm seriously in two minds over whether we want 5th or not.

European competition, on the telly etc. All good. But Thursdays and a gruelling schedule which will threaten our greater ambitions, not so much.

But the other thing to put into the equation - we need Lewis/Levy to bankroll some major improvement. That's got to be less likely if we don't make Europe at all.

Fuck it, once Levy's signed the cheques we can put our young guns on the pitch for away games against Ndrenic FC (as long as they aren't all out on loan...). We desperately need some quality signings if we're going to make the CL again though. And Harry needs to learn how to fukin manage a squad rather than just a team so we don't piss off even more decent players like Niko...

 

[Will2403]

great minds think alike corax

 

[Corax]

Anyone watching?

Who's the twat alongside the commentator that seems to think that Milner deliberately running into Dawson and falling over should be a penalty?

He may as well be a City fan so far, whoever he is.

 

[Corax]

Oh, penisbags.

At least Crouch finally scored in the prem though.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Everton can still pip us to sixth, of course.

 

[Corax]

Why does Crouch bother diving? He's shit at it and never fools anyone, least of all the ref. Stay on your feet and try to get your head on it you dick.

 

[Corax]

Fkn football.

I've always preferred bowls anyway. Ian and Alison Merrien have made the World Cup semis. Guuuuuuuuueeeernseeeey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chieftain]

Boring game this. On comes lanky twonk Patrick Viera

 

[Big Gunz]

Typical Italian substitution, Viera for Johnson. No wonder the Italian league is so fucking boring.

 

[TruXta]

COYS! Fuck sake, can we never get a break?

 

[Corax]

I'm supporting Manu U next season. Who's with me?!!?!!

 

[TruXta]

DIE

 

[TruXta]

You suck harder than Harry's ass, know that? Get some fucking strikers!

 

[chieftain]

That was like having a bottle of pop on ice only to discover it's flat.

Let's hope we miss out on the Europey cup now...

Yeah it's Liverpool's goddam right to be in Europe you know

You;re better off out of that pile of crap tournament.

 

[chieftain]

TruXta, you must be a Liverpool fan? I was enjoying silence for the majority of the season!

 

[TruXta]

But of course cherie!

 

[Corax]

Right, so I'm supporting Man U next season - because I like red, and Park has nice hair.

But were I still a Spurs fan, this is what I'd be looking for from Levy in the Summer:

First choice (Back up)

GK - Gomes (Cudicini/Pletikosa)

RB - Walker (Corluka/Hutton)
LB - BAE (Rose)

CB - Dawson (New Player)
CB - Kaboul (Bassong)

RW - New Player (Lennon)
LW - Bale (New Player)

CM - Modric (Huddlestone)
CM - Sandro (New Player)

ST - Van der Vaart (Pav)
ST - New Player (Defoe)


And that's assuming no one key's sold...

 

[TruXta]

I reckon you'll lose a few of your bigger names. You'll likely buy three four new midfielders too and some cast-offs from Arse.

 

[Refused as fuck]

Bale's going to Arsenal, obv so that fucks up that plan.

 

[TruXta]

Straight swap with Bendtner?

 

[Streathamite]

I reckon you'll lose a few of your bigger names. You'll likely buy three four new midfielders too and some cast-offs from Arse.

they can have denilson, and squillaci.
Now that normal service has been resumed, the only question is who'll jump first, and I wouldn't be surprised to discover it's VDV.
of course, this is nothing compared to the exodus 2 seasons away after 'Arry gets tthe England gig and is replaced by either Pulis or Big Sam

you sound like the summit of your ambition is to be a poor man's Citeh

 

[xes]

Bale's going to Arsenal, obv so that fucks up that plan.

If that happens, I'm going to hunt you down, tie you to a chair, and play Sunderland games to you until you support them.

 

[Kanda]

Can someone edit the thread title?

 

[xes]

yeah, to 2011-2012

 

[chieftain]

So thats it then. We lit up the Champions League and made a dream debut playing some great footy (Citeh will bore everyone into submission next season). We wrecked our chances of qualifying again by drawing so many winnable games since Christmas.

I don't think any of our stars will leave unless we want to get let them go, its been mentioned before that other than VDV we weren't in the CL when they joined...

Moving forward I would like to miss the Europey cup (Liverpool are welcome to it) and try for CL qualification again next season.

Need to sort out the strikers, a goalie and perhaps a defender.

COYS

That's rich coming from a fan of the eternal bridesmaids down the road...

 

[Streathamite]

That's rich coming from a fan of the eternal bridesmaids down the road...

looking at our respective for over the past decade, if arsenal are the bridesmaids, spuds are the 5-year old page-boy!

 

[London_Calling]

Diff to compete against the comedy cash clubs, and even the £130 mill plus wage bills of Man Utd and the goons.

At least we got in the CL and did the club proud. Can't see it being repeated until the income from a new ground kicks in.
