Tottenham Hotspur 2011-2012 Official Thread

[Lo Siento.]

He's quickly becoming the whipping boy on SpursCommunity. From what I can see, it's because he's not Van der Vaart. Morons.

Not that long ago the same people were saying that Benny was shit. Before that it was Kaboul, Bale, the list goes on. Muppets never learn.

I liked him and townsend when we had them on loan. Speaks volumes about our management that we couldn't build a decent championship team around them when both look comfortable in the prem

Stay off the moors, stick to the path!

Is this hot off the terrace, I've only just heard it:

'Doncha wish your fullback was B.A.E.'

Walsall did it better at least 4 years ago!

Doncha wish your striker was Troy Deany, doncha wish your striker was a former bricky, dontcha

Brilliant.

So we obv. want the win tomorrow but I suppose we also want a few other things given the epic run starts next week at Citeh:

• Another 90 mins for Lennon
• Parker to get a game under his belt
• Dawson to have another 90 mins to get fine tune
• No idea on Ledley's latest hamstring, or on Gallas - Bassong notwithstanding, we'll need one of them (unless Samba arrives in the week)

Presume Adebeyor isn't available next week, which more than counterbalances their loss of Kompany... opps.

Wot I heard; if we finish 4th and have to play that CL qualifying round again (remember Young Boys...), it will coincide with the Olympics and we would, under the terms of the Olympic agreement, have to play the home leg 200 miles from London... no idea of the veracity or otherwise, but it's one to ponder...

 

[kained&able]

200 miles isn't that far! you could play in paris for example.

[tommers]

or Boro.

 

[chieftain]

Depending on how you define 200 miles we could play on the international space station. Now that would be good.

 

[Corax]

Parker to get a game under his belt

Nonononono! He's not been out for long, he doesn't need to be played back in. Stick with Jake tomorrow so that Parker can recover fully in time for citeh. Being rushed back and injuring himself tomorrow would be an absolute mare.

Don't they still say that on the Spurs forums

 

[Corax]

Oh. They may do. They say an awful lot of shit tbh.

 

[London_Calling]

Don't really agree about Parker, tbf - Wolves won't be a push over and we need the points. Prefer to rest him at 2-0.

 

[Corax]

Crowd screaming Shoooot!!! every time Benny gets the ball.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Wolves won't be a push over .

Apparently not.

 

[xes]

first team to concede 1000 goals!!

Congratulations everyone, another record broken

i'm sure cowdenbeath have conceded considerably more than 1000 goals.

 

[xes]

fuck knows, that's what the commentator said on the channel I'm watching.

 

[London_Calling]

Prem only.

Well, on the basis of the officials first half performance, I imagine the Ref will now be looking to give us a pen at the earliest opportunity. If it involves sending off Frimpong, more the better.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Bastards - I only needed you lot to win to make a 96-1 accumulator.

 

[Corax]

Job done. Well earned point at home against a team who are putting in a strong challenge for a Championship spot.

 

[twistedAM]

 

[London_Calling]

Well, our CL cushion grows to 10 points...

atm, I'd very much take a draw on 26th Feb at the Effeminites.

Not to mention six months suspended for two years for 'arry.

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Well, that's a let-off. 10 points from 5th now.

 

[chieftain]

Points dropped, onwards and upwards

 

[Corax]

One good thing about the draw with Wolves is that the meeja have stopped with all this bullshit about us being title contenders. The title is between Man U and Man City, that's it. We were not contenders for the title this season, we are not contenders for the title this season, we will not be contenders for the title this season. If anyone had any doubts about that, they should take note that Alan Hansen said that we were, which automatically makes it untrue.

We are, however, contenders for third, a CL place, and a finish as the top team in London. That would be more than acceptable IMO.

Agreed and as Kevin Keegan once said "I would love that".

 

[London_Calling]

If one of us had started the season thread and written a preamble like wot sometimes happens, if they'd suggested that, half way through January, we'd be third, 10 points and goal diff better than the goons in 5th and 11 better than Liverpool in 6th, they'd have been put on the nearest Sunshine Bus and packed off to Cornwall somewhere for a Suarez sized extended break.

It is dreamland. As I'm sure I said before... just enjoy the moment, 'kin wallow in it.

 

[London_Calling]

Word to the wise chaps; the next four games are on a Friday, Monday, Tuesday and, of course this week, Sunday - a 1.30 kick orf at Citeh.

Fortunately the goons play Man Utd.

 

[Corax]

I won't be counting on anything at Citeh, but Kompany being out is definitely a plus. To get three points, I think it would have to take a special performance by Defoe.
