Tottenham Hotspur 2011-2012 Official Thread

There was a Spurs loanee playing right back for MK Dons the other night against QPR who looked very impressive. They said he reminded them of Walker, and unfortunately for him one year younger.
 
Adam Smith. Did very well at B'mouth last year and was expected to be on loan to a Championship side this season.
 
Naughton is also a right back - currently first choice at Norwich. Last time I noticed him I'm sure they had him at left back though - perhaps an emergency. We do need a left back - no decent back up for BAE.

Talking of players on loan at Prem clubs, Caulker is doing a very decent job at Swansea.

How easy now to forget other (injured) players like Jenas and Bentley...
 
In relation to 'keepers, the too unreliable Gomez is leaving isn't he - QPR or somewhere?

Friedel may or may not have another season or ten in him, who knows at that age...
 
So, no Kompany, no Yaya and Kolo Toure, and no Adebayor.

They've won all 10 at home this season: take a point, or death or glory? Yeah, me too - it's about the glory.
 
It is dreamland. As I'm sure I said before... just enjoy the moment, 'kin wallow in it.

Not to mention the quality of the football, it's insane. Never know where the next attack is coming from, Modric and Van Der Vaart stroking the ball around midfield with Lennon and Bale swapping wings, every game is sumptuous to watch.
 
A ticket buying question:

I've not seen Spurs in the flesh for a looong time. When I lived in London I was poor so used to go and watch Kingstonians instead. Now I could possibly afford a ticket now and then I live too far away to do it viably on the train and don't drive.

But... unless Southampton really fuck things up they're going to get themselves promoted, which means Spurs playing at a stadium I could get to. I'd love to take the nipper as well, who I've fully indoctrinated in the ways of Bill Nick.

Only thing I'm wondering is whether it's possible these days. You used to just turn up and buy a ticket, but now I see stuff about different levels of membership and all sorts of bollocks. Will I be able to just get two or three tickets for the away end at St Mary's without having my DNA taken and selling a kidney?
 
I was wondering if it was like Fulham, where they concede a few days before the game that they don't have any fans and open up an entire stand to "neutrals". I think I've been to the Cottage as much as to the Lane since I abandoned membership.

Saints are fairly well supported I think and if they get promoted I can see more people going. Highest attendance this season was pretty much a sell out (vs west ham)
 
I think you can still turn up at places like Blackburn and Wigan on the day - some awful monkey mill town - but otherwise you've got no hope.

Fwiw, I posted a link here before Christmas when the ticket office put tickets for two games on general sale, I recall one was the Everton game, perhaps the cup match the other. i do symphathise but if you think you've got transport issues, think of the regular EasyJet brigade flying in from Scandie, Holland and elsewhere.
